Movement Speed

Movement Speed is an attribute in Outward. The more movement speed bonus a player has, the faster they move. Negative bonuses result in the player moving more slowly.

Increasing Movement Speed

 * Many pieces of Equipment, such as the Pearlbird Mask and the Master Trader Set increase movement speed
 * Speed Up (effect)
 * Swift Foot (passive skill)
 * Stealth Training increases the player's movement speed by 30% while in stealth (crouching).

The Soroboreans DLC Sources:
 * Blitz
 * Chaos and Creativity and Flux enchantments

Decreasing Movement Speed
A character's movement speed can be reduced by:
 * Carrying too much Weight, or wearing Equipment with negative movement speed attributes.
 * The player will begin to slow down when their total Weight (including worn equipment) reaches 30kg. This is a separate effect to Pouch Overweight or Bag Overweight.
 * The status effects Slow Down and Crippled will also lower the inflicted character's movement speed.
 * Unsheathing your Weapon will slow movement speed slightly (about 10%), this is a hidden effect which is not visible on the stats screen

At -100% movement speed, the character will be completely immobilized, unable to even dodge. However, even the tiniest amount of movement speed above -100% will allow the character to dodge and perform actions freely, allowing one to roll back to a city with enormous amounts of loot.
