Hello. I couldn't find a direct answer anywhere so I thought I'd ask here ...

Can the items Crimson Cuisses, Strider Boots, Herald Gaiters and NIN AF Boots (although they don't count as much because it's 25% movement speed compared to 12%) make you outrun a monster with normal running speed as you? Say I'm fighting some Goblin Bandit, and I notice that I'm getting into trouble, if I had any of the said equip equipped, (not stacked, but just either 1 piece) and I've got maybe 30% HP left, is it possible to outrun the goblin and get out of the melee range and escape to safety?

Yes, you out run them.

Base speed is the same as you for all normal mobs.

Not tigers or manticore or colibri!!!

Im not sure about these, but I think wolves and couerl can also outrun you. Only way to escape is flee, and they can still almost keep up. Once flee is out, you dead, fred.
 
*slams fist on desk*
Thf should get perma-flee as a throwback to old games!
 
To build on this, I also had a question about some Flee Equips. Caitiff's Socks. What if I use poison potions, and cure every so often? Will I have unlimited flee?!

According to the info I read about that, you must be having someone attacking you, in Red HP, and then if, there's a chance of the latent activating for a random duration.


Thanks Marajade for confirming.

Ruffy: I was aware that the special mobs like raptors and tigers, etc, cannot be outrun. =)

No.

However, single pieces (Striders alone) will stack with Mazurka.
 
yes you can wear 1 peice of armor and 1 spell and they will stack

Yovras actually move at normal running speed, and taking into account that like all mobs, they have a slight tendency not to go in a straight line, you can get some distance. And you don't have to get too far away from them before they lose interest (unlike phuabos, which are *very* persistent - you have to toss Sleep 2 on them and run half the zone away and they may still come find you).

One fun thing I did during those few days after whatever update it was that broke Mazurka +2 and make it flee speed, was run circles around an aggro'd yovra. Good times, good times.
