Most efficient: walking or resting?

[010jonathan]

A question I ask myself in every day travelling, when I do not have energy boosting items: should I walk or should I rest? If the answer is walk: would this answer change when there is a musician?

[Quyneax]

I suspect the musician is worth it, but ordinary resting isn't. Nothing to base that on though.

[stewierocks]

in my opinion resting is best because i hate walking but i think that just walking and waiting for run energy to restore is best.

[Sy_Accursed]

Resting is best by far.

 

Running is substantially faster than walking; and more than makes up for time resting.

 

If you both had same agility level and 0 energy and had a race. The one walking would the the initial lead, but the one resting would overtake them before they got their energy back to run.

okay thanks ^^

I just did a little test to see how the numbers would actually work out. I started from a point south of Nardah, and ran due north to where the Phoenix hangs out (the longest straight-shot that I could find on the map) . Then I turned run off and walked back the same distance. I then ran around until my run ran out and measured how long it took for my run to restore while both walking and resting.

 

Running time: 96 sec

Walking time: 183 sec

Recovery walking: 100 sec

Recovery resting: 30 sec

 

Just to make everything more understandable, I'm going to declare that the distance that I traveled between Nardah and the Phoenix is 1 KM. It doesn't really matter what the actual distance is since I'm only trying to compare the two methods.

 

So, using these numbers, I can run at 35.5 km/hr and walk at 19.7 km/hr.

 

If i decide to run/walk I will spend my time running for 96 seconds at 35.5 km/hr and then walking for 100 seconds at 19.7 km/hr. Doing the math, I will travel 1.54 KM in 196 seconds which works out to 28.3 km/hr.

 

If i decide to run/rest I will spend my time running for 96 seconds at 35.5 km/hr and then resting for 30 seconds at 0 km/hr. Doing the math, I will travel 1 KM in 126 seconds which works out to 28.6 km/hr.

 

It looks like the run/rest method is slightly better, but my measurements are probably off by a second or so here and there, so I'd probably say that its most likely a tie between them both. And certainly neither method is "best by far".

levelling agailty to 75 should eleminate the need for any of it...

Running speed is exactly 2x walking speed in most cases.

Walking means your character moves 1 tile per game tick.

When you run, your character runs, your character "teleports" 2 tiles away. (as there is no such thing as half a game tick)

What was your agility level when you took that data though?

That's cool. My numbers weren't exactly 2x as fast when running, but it was pretty close.

 

I was at level 86 agility. It may make some difference in the numbers if I has a different level, but I bet the two method will still be pretty close at any level.

Someone did a few tests when that update first came out. Running, then walking to a destination is the same speed as running, then resting and running to a destination. However, if you find a musician, that's obviously the best method of recovery.

as long as the musicianis in your path, often i find then just an odd 10 to 30 seconds away from my would-be path. that could compensate for the gain in energy restore.

 

someome should go to a f2p world (thus level 1 ajil) and run a set distance, acros the wildy wall? and see how that changes things.

Its highly subjective to your agility level though.

 

If you're low this is true, but when you get to about 80+ (as the op is) rest then run, beats walking

Look up a few posts. At 86 agility it is still a tie.

In my experience from 80+ resting was definitely faster than walking.

Try doing your own test and look at the actual numbers. It only seems faster.

My test was the fact, as I mentioned much further up, in a race resting then running overtook the walker before they got run back.

On the mental aspect of it, seeing is more than enough.
