Run/walk speed

[Albion Child]

This seems like a topic that surely would have been discussed before, but I have been unable to find the info I need by searching this site. (Does the Search link on the left hand side look thru the old forum???)

Anyway, is their a maximum to fast run/walk or does it have diminishing returns?

Also, does each character class have a different base run/walk speed or will every class move at the exact same rate for a gives Run/walk%? (It's probably an ilusion, but some classes, especially druids, seem so slow at low levels. More so than others.)


Anyway, the reason I ask is because I'm building a really fast running character just for fun (probably an assasin).

Questions concerning this character-

Equipment- Mavina's belt 15%?
peasant crown 15%
Stealth arnour 25%
40% boots (IK, Aldurs, Nats or something)40%
Cats eye 30%
Burst of speed- 61% (@slv 20)


TOTAL= 186%

Any sheilds? Gloves? Rings? with fast run/walk?


Thanks in advance for info :D


PS. Direction to Info source appreciated very much if it exists.
