Alacrity
From Istaria Lexica
Action speed reduction bonus when completing an action. This is also referred to as reducing the "delay" between actions, such as how quickly you swing a sword or cast a spell.
The Alacrity bonuses speeds up an action by the percentage displayed on the character summary screen. For example, if a gathering action takes 1 second per "swing" to gather Metal Ore, a 10% Gatherer Alacrity would reduce this time to 54 seconds (60 seconds - 10%, or 6 seconds).
Improving your Alacrity (or "reducing your Delay") is a key goal for players wanting to gather, cast or attack more frequently.
Gatherer Alacrity[edit]
Gatherer Alacrity enhances action speed while gathering.
The default "gather" speed is 2 seconds. Gatherer alacrity reduces this speed by a percentage amount. For example, a Gather Alacrity of 250 reduces the gathering speed by 12.5%, resulting in a gathering speed of 1.875 seconds.
Gatherer Alacrity can be increased by:
- the Dragon spell Primal Harvest
- the Biped spell Gift of Alacrity
