Buff mount speed

Posted by carrots

Description of Suggestion: adjust mount speed to better fit gameplay in kuro. untouched, mounts have a fixed speed and jump % based on mount level/tier: level 70 - 150% speed 120% jump, level 120 - 170% speed 120% jump, level 200 - 190% speed 123% jump. i'm sure these stats were balanced for pre bb vanilla gms, but they are not attractive at all in kuro. Why Do You Think This Is Needed? untouched, mounts have a fixed speed and jump % based on mount level/tier: level 70 - 150% speed 120% jump, level 120 - 170% speed 120% jump, level 200 - 190% speed 123% jump. i'm sure these stats were balanced for pre bb vanilla gms, but they are not attractive at all in kuro. unless there are plans to add flash jump skills to all jobs (excluding mages), mounts should be made the main mode of traveling by foot. as a level 77 wind archer i had 171% speed and 123% jump, as a level 114 wind archer i have 184% speed (236% with haste) and 123% jump. with such high speeds, why would anyone bother with mounts? i think given that flash jump is exclusive to thiefs and teleport to mages, buffing mount speed will be a good way to allow other classes to travel quickly by foot. Possible Downsides or Obstacles: unsure, haven't thought of any. it isn't game breaking, just a qol improvement. Additional Notes/Comments: instead of mounts having fixed speed, could we have mounts add speed to our current speed stat? so like base speed + mount speed. and mounts could add speeds of: level 70 +10 speed, level 120 +20 speed, level 200 +30 speed.
