Description
Haste is a beneficial status effect that increases a character's speed (action speed, not movement). Benefiting characters experience reduced weapon delay and magic recast timers.
March is a similar Song effect bestowed by Bards. It provides the same types of benefits as Haste, and can also be combined with Haste.
- The negative counterpart to Haste is Slow.
Usage
Haste is calculated as a percentage reduction in weapon delay and magic recast time. That is, with 50% Haste, attacks rounds will occur twice as often. With 66% Haste, attack rounds will occur 3 times as often.
- For Example: A weapon with a delay of 509 normally takes ~8.48 seconds before an attack can be initiated. With 50% Haste, this delay would be treated as 254.5, or ~4.24 seconds of wait before the next attack would occur.
- For Example: Raise has a base recast time of 60 seconds. With 50% Haste, the recast time drops to 30 seconds.
Despite reducing weapon delay, the amount of TP gained per hit is not adjusted with haste. As a result, Haste accelerates TP gain over time by making hits more frequent.
Limitations
There are limitations to the amount of haste gained from various sources:
- Equipment: 25% (256/1024)[1]
- Includes Catastrophe
- Haste from equipment caps at exactly 25% (256/1024), however it may require 26% haste from items to reach the cap due to haste working on a n/1024 scale. See "Precise Haste Values" section below for more details.
- Magical effects: ~43.75% (448/1024)
- Job abilities: 25%
- Haste gained from job abilities does not reduce spell recast timers
The maximum recast time reduction from all sources is capped at 50%, and the absolute maximum amount of haste from all sources is ~80%.
Precise Haste Values
Haste appears to be calculated on a n/1024 scale(where n is the amount of haste on specific items, spells, or job abilities). [1]
Haste caps at 256/1024(exactly 25%) from equipment; however, due to the values of haste being on a n/1024 scale, items with +haste may not give the precise haste value listed.
For examples(all values come from this source[1]):
- Walahra Turban gives 50/1024(4.8828125%) haste, which is a little less than the actual listed value(5%) on the item description.
- Blitz Ring gives 11/1024(1.07..%) haste, which is slightly higher than the actual listed value of (1%) on the item description.
- Tiercel Necklace gives 11/1024 haste(same as Blitz Ring)[2].
- Speed Belt gives 61/1024(5.95..%) haste, slightly lower than the listed value of 6%.
- Ace's Helm = 40/1024(3.90625% haste).
- Rune Chopper = 90/1024(8.78..% haste)
- Homam Manopolas, Homam Gambieras, Dusk Ledelsens +1, and Dusk Gloves = 30/1024(2.92..% haste).
Using the items from the above examples - a Dark Knight using a Rune Chopper(9% from in game description), Ace's Helm(4%), Homam Manopolas and Homam Gambieras(3% each for 6% total), and Speed Belt(6%) would have a total of 25% "listed haste".
However, the exact haste from each of the items would only add up to 24.51%~ haste(251/1024). To cap haste on equipment, 5/1024 haste would be required.
Adding a Blitz Ring to the DRK wearing the items in the example above would add the final 5/1024 needed to cap haste on equipment(which is 256/1024).
Take note that adding the Blitz Ring would only add 5/1024 haste rather than 11/1024 haste(which Blitz Ring has) due to the haste cap on equipment being 256/1024.
In the above example, 26% "listed haste"(haste listed on gear in game but actually different than the actual haste value the item has) would be required to reach the 256/1024(25%) haste cap on equipment.
