Disambiguation icon Not to be confused with Murky Oil of Speed.

Oil of Speed grants the Normal Haste effect for 1 hour or until dispelled. This potion lasts considerably longer than its spell counterpart and doesn't cause Fatigue. Repeated uses don't stack.

Description

This oil increases the movement and combat capabilities of the imbiber. The movement rate is doubled and the user gains one extra attack per round. Thus, a movement rate of 9 becomes 18, and a character normally able to attack once in a round attacks twice. This does not reduce spellcasting time, however. The duration of the effect is 1 hour.

Gameplay[]

One of the most useful potions in the game.

After quaffing this, the user gets what's stated in the description. A boost to movement rate and an extra attack per round, per the normal Haste effect.

Drinking this potion will neuter a Slow effect. A Free Action (status effect) will undo the potion's effects.

When the potion is consumed a "gulp" text display is shown, a lighting effect and color fade is played over the user's sprite, and a sound effect is audible. When the potion expipires another sound effect is played. The party member's portrait will also have a "Haste" icon (No. 38) displayed while its active. This potion is subject to Dispel Magic effects.

  • The original in-game descriptions still say it doubles the attack speed, but the Haste effect has never been implemented that way. Description changed in Enhanced Edition.
