"Raises target's agility"

Speed is an alchemy formula. It is found in the Volcano in a hidden area. One room in the caves of the Volcano contains a single pot with Water in it. A hidden passage in this room leads to an alchemist that teaches Speed.

Usage[]

Speed increases the target's agility, raising both their evasion and their hit percentage for 45 seconds.

Speed is a decently effective formula, acting as both an offensive and defensive buff at once. Missing attacks usually isn't a problem, and Speed doesn't raise evasion too much that the target will constantly be avoiding damage, but it does help on both fronts. If the player has room for Speed in their alchemy line-up, it is worthwhile to bring along.

The increased miss chance has no benefit if the player is also under the effects of Barrier or Aura.

Along with some others, this Alchemy formula is in the list of potentially Unobtainable formulas.

Duration[]

Upon a status' reception, its timer starts at 1, then counts upward each frame, until reaching a pre-determined limit and expiring. However, Speed's timer is set to a starting value of (Dog's Defense + 1), due to misordered code in its handler. This results in the target getting an average of a handful fewer seconds of benefit from Speed than the intended duration (of 2700 frames). The greater the Dog's Defense stat, the lower the duration of Speed will be.

Duration on PAL:
Formula: T = 54 - ((D + 1) / 50)s
Example (with 499 Defense): Time = 54 - ((499 + 1) / 50)s → Time = 44 seconds

Duration on NTSC:
Formula: T = 45 - ((D + 1) / 60)s
Example (with 499 Defense): Time = 45 - ((499 + 1) / 60)s → Time = 36.17 seconds
