Sprint Cost Reduction

Sandjah · June 2017

Can someone explain me how the sprint reduction works? I got a full Fiords Legacy and Darkstride set which gives me 65% cost reduction, my CP gives me 27% percent cost reduction and all my gear is well fitted which gives me about 28% cost reduction. I should be running at no cost but my stamina is still going down when i run.

From the linked post (I have not tested it in update 14 but I know of no changes to sprint cost):

The formula I verified around update 10 for sprint cost was:
SprintCost = Base * CP * Buff * Set * Item

Which in your example would be:

SprintCost = Base * (1 - 0.27) * 1 * (1 - 0.65) * (1 - 0.28)
SprintCost = Base * 0.18

Or 82% cost reduction. Only sprint cost reduction within a single category (Buff/CP/Set/Item) is additive, everything combined is multiplicative.

You can also use our build editor which has the sprint cost reduction calculation built into it (look down the right side a bit).

Unfortunately, I made a typo and meant prisoner and not fiords, which cratered the discussion, but it covers what you are seeing.

But what does that mean?

There's a post in that thread that confirms prisoner+darkstride removed Sprint cost entirely.
