Item Haste

[Grozmok]

I read on 'Zam that item haste scales up to the maximum percentage of the item based on the level of the wearer.

So if you have an item with 20% haste, you will only get the max of 20% at level 19+ or 30% at level 29+.

Can someone confirm?

Also, if you have a formula that would be rad.

Thanks, I'd already seen that.

No where on the wiki does it say anything about haste scaling with level, so I want to confirm.

[Hamahakki]

Haste items don't scale with level.

However, there is a cap on the total amount of haste (items+spells) which you are allowed to have, and that increases with level, up to 100% at level 60.

So, if I equip an FBSS on a level 1 character, that character will get the full effect of 21% haste?

From the wiki article linked:
Haste Caps:
Level Max total haste permitted
30 50%
50 74%
54 84%
59 94%
60 100%

So at level 1 you will get the full effect of the haste for any haste item in game, so long as you aren't buffed. However if you were to add a buff you would probably be brought to the 50% cap.

Excellent.

What I was reading on 'Zam was probably just the usual EQ rumors that float around due to lack of messaging to the player base.

I don't think that is they way it works. If you have a 35% Haste item. Say a CoF and you are level 10 it only gives you 10% Haste. You have to be level 35 or above to get the full 35%. So at level 20 it will give you 20% haste. That is the way it works on live.

Now on spell haste that works even at level 1 if it sticks.

... if it sticks?

Item haste should be full to cap i.e 50% @ 30.

So full 21%. And only reason haste should not stick is if there is a higher level spell or faster haste spell already on them....

Buffs not sticking due to low level is a much later addition to EQ post PoP...

[Grozmok]

So then what I've been reading is true.

A level 1 character only receives 1% haste from an item.

I'm pretty sure that is wrong.

I'm confused.

Can we get a DEV to post in here and squash this conjecture?

Do you get full haste (under cap) at level 1 or not?

Don't be confused. You can be hasted up to 50% from item and/or spell haste at level one. 1% haste at level one = not true.

EDIT: if you don't believe me, get a high delay 2 hander and swing without haste, then add haste item + haste spell and see if you only swing 1% faster.

There seemed to be sides supporting both.

How do I know who's the authority?

Fair enough.
