Quickly link to speed nowI was desperately looking for a page that can better refer to walking speed, and related means of movement, being not too detailed
[[Speed]] in [[Wurm Online]] is measured and expressed in '''kilometers per hour''' (km/h). Beside every [[player]] who can move at a speed, be slowed down or accelerated by certain [[player status effect|conditions]], there are vehicles and animals that move at various speeds that you can [[riding|ride]], like [[cow]]s and [[horse]]s on land, [[ship]]s on water, or [[crocodile]]s that can do both. Yes, you can [[animal taming|tame]], or as a [[priest]] of [[Libila]], [[zombie|re-animate]] crocodiles and ride them on land and [[water]].
== Walking or running ==
You can not '''''run''''' in Wurm like in other games, where you can perhaps toggle between walking and running, or even temporarily sprint at an even faster pace. Your walking speed is affected by the [[weight]] you're [[inventory|carrying]], any [[armour]] and [[clothing]] you're wearing, any [[player status effect]]s you might have, the [[slope]] you're walking up or down, and largely the [[tile types|type of map tile]] you're walking on. Your speed can be anywhere between 4.90 km/h on tar to 17.3 km/h on cobblestone when not encumbered and on a flat surface.
=== Roads ===
Travelling on [[road]]s and [[highway]]s is one of the fastest ways to get around. They usually have [[pavement]] that allows you to walk at the highest speeds. Established [[server]]s more often than not, have a well developed road infrastructure entirely built by players. If you find a place to [[settlement|settle]] in a speck of wilderness, you will have to build your own roads.
== Riding ==
While mounts are technically vehicles, they're commonly rather referred to as a living [[creature]] that can [[Age#Creatures|age and die]], instead of a mechanical vehicle.
There are a number of [[animal]]s and [[monster]]s you can ride as [[mounts]] if you meet the requirements. Once [[animal taming|tamed]] or [[dominate]]d, some can wear [[animal equipment]] to make them move and turn faster. They are not affected by tile types and pavement, and move at their regular speed, even on [[tar]]. Mounts ignore the amount of [[stamina]] you have, and won't slow down if their rider is [[player status effect|exhausted]]. They are however affected by [[slope]]s you're riding up or down.
You can not take passengers on mounts at this time.
== Vehicles ==
Vehicles, with the exception of the [[wagon]], can take 2 to 13 passengers, in addition to the driver. To control a vehicle, you will have to ''embark it as commander'', it's generally referred to as ''to sail a boat'' or ''to drive a cart''. Passengers to ''embark as passenger''. They are controlled by the player's movement keys, sped up by ''walking forward'', slowed down or backed up by ''walking backwards'', and turned by ''strafing left or right''.
=== Carts ===
[[Small cart]]s can not be embarked, they can not be [[drag]]ged by animals, they can only be dragged by players. The weight you can drag is limited by your [[body strength]].
[[Large cart]]s can seat up to 3 passengers, they can be dragged by players, or be pulled by up to 2 animals like [[horse]]s, or [[brown bear]]s if you're an able animal tamer for example.
[[Wagon]]s can not be dragged by a player, they need to be dragged by up to 4 animals and can not seat passengers. [[Bison]] are very good at dragging wagons.
=== Rafts ===
[[Raft]]s, although able to float on water, can not be embarked and used as a vessel. They can only be dragged by players like a small cart.
=== Boats and ships ===
[[Rowboat]]s can drift slightly in the [[wind]], but are mainly propelled by ''walking'' as the commander. They're overall the slowest vessel to use. [[Sailboat]]s make much more use of wind while not largely dependent on it, but like bigger [[ship]]s still make use of the commander's walking. Larger ships are highly dependent on wind, and can reach speeds in excess of 30 km/h in a gale, but can still receive a small boost from the commander.
Every passenger will passively speed up the boat or ship a little, helping to reach its maximum speed.
