Calculating Flight Speed

Feet Per Second

(21.00 FPS base) + ((1 + sum of enhancements) * (18.18 FPS + (LVL * 0.21)))

Miles Per Hour

(14.32 MPH base) + ((1 + sum of enhancements) * (12.4 MPH + (LVL * 0.143)))

None 42.12 28.72
1 Flight DO 45.65 31.13


Speed at Level 22

Enhancements FPS MPH
None 43.80 29.87
1 Flight SO 51.39 35.04
2 Flight SO 58.98 40.22
3 Flight SO 65.46 44.63
4 Flight SO 66.60 45.41


Speed at Level 50

Enhancements FPS MPH
None 49.68 33.87

2 Flight SO 68.78 46.89
