Test Release Discussion - 20 August, 2009

Interesting about your sloop's speed. My light sloop clocked at 20 kts without full sail or ramming speed. And very small changes in direction affect forward momentum only the lsightest bit for just a fraction of a second.

What kind of sloop were ye in, Jack?

My light sloop tops out at 10 knots.
Full sail boosts it to 12 knots for duration of the skill.

I do not have ramming speed yet to test it.

For that matter, my War frigate has the EXACT same specs.

Ok, previously we had believed the new quests were level dependant right to left.

Well yes level dependant, not right to left.

So far....

Jeremiah Dedman - Requires Level 20
Samuel Shaw - Requires Level 8
Capt. Rott - Requires Level 4
Nathan Gould - <unknown>
Bill Barrett - Requires Level 5 (maybe 4, but you get level 5 doing Rotts quest).

Level requirements of quest givers left to right: 20 - 8 - 4 - X - 5

Do not know Nathan Goulds level requirement yet.

I was in a regular sloop. With my regular galleon I was only able to hit a max of 9 knots. It may be possible that if you go straight for very long distances that it will gradually increase speed, I simply based my result of the arrow reaching the end of the speed bar and my knot indicator stopping.
