My adventures with super speed!

Ok, so I haven't had an adventure yet, but maybe sometime I'll try outrunning an entire herd of gingos! Basically, I don't know how or when it happened, but all the sudden I've noticed I have 120% speed. Not 100% like I've ALWAYS had, but 120%. Seeing as I won a race wearing full heavy armor carrying my pike by a LONG SHOT
, 120% is definitely much faster. Removing all of my armor, jewelry, weapons etc etc I still have 120%. I pretty much emptied my bag which was quite full when I noticed my speed increase, and nothing changed. Does anyone else have this or is it just me? I suspect it must be a bug somewhere because I don't know what I would have done to become faster. Any ideas would be helpful.

My toon named "Jhin" was the one he raced and he did beat me, badly, I've never seen 120% speed before, but it's not some typo in the character stats screen. Does anyone know how to boost up speed? Jewelry perhaps? Or maybe a weapon bonus?

I've noticed this as well. Basically I've seen characters that run significantly faster then I do. I don't know what it is, but I'm suspecting it might be stat related. I've noticed that, over time, my character seems to be running faster then he used to.
Anyways, does anyone know?

I vaguely remember you used to move faster as you got higher level. I wonder if that was it. Never seen 120% speed tho.

There's a fighter skill that increases over ground movement.

that's different from the current situation, player chars suddenly get a temporary 120% speed without doing anything and lose it later on sometimes, seems completely random

i had this happen to me for a few min too. i thought someone zapped me with a speed spell or something. it's not the speed up skill from the fight tree b/c it sure as heck doesn't last as long as this boost did.

A couple of things:
1) If you put someone on "follow", you will go faster till you catch up with them.
2) If you double-click a mob in the distance, you will speed up till you reach it - at least when swimming.
3) *speculation* - I hear that a higher Dexterity stat means higher running speed.

wrong in this case, with 120% speed i sometimes lost people who were following me and often had to stop along the way
> 3) *speculation* - I hear that a higher Dexterity stat means higher running speed.
then how do you explain that i had the bonus two days ago and yesterday was back to 100% without even spending any points on stats
