- Speedbarge Diving Helm
- Breathing! While underwater! Do Not Remove! Comes standard with thermohydratic flippers for faster swimming!
Speedbarge Diving Helm is a buff rewarded when accepting
[15-30] Down in the Deeps at Fizzle and Pozzik's Speedbarge.
Similar to
[Sea Legs], the buff provides underwater walking, water-breathing and a movement speed increase while underwater in Thousand Needles. After the quest, players will always have this buff in Thousand Needles.
The speed bonus depends on how the player is moving:
- Swimming speed is increased by 60%, becoming roughly 8% faster than running on land.
- Running on the sea floor is as fast as apprentice riding on land at 60% faster than running on land.
- The buff does not stack with Mounts.
