fastest running character at level 4?

[SmashBang]

just to make favor grinding as fast as possible.

What is the fastest running character possible with vet status? no monk, warforged, half orc/elf, I just don't own those.

thank you

I should note that all the favor runs are happening with the help of a high level character, so the favor character does not need to do anything but run from one quest to another

[Jakarr]

Ranger or Barbarian with Sprint Boosts

Prob Human barb+dragon mark for expeditious retreat and sprint boosts

And a past life with a House P trinket to get around Stormreach faster.

If the toon is for favor grinding, delete and repeat, 1 ranger 3 monk, half elf. You get the perma speedboost from monk, the speed boost 5x per rest from ranger, and the dilletante wizard + stacks of expeditious retreat scrolls from half elf will give you a ghetto 20% striding. Those scrolls are dirt cheap.

This is what i'd go with. Barb is probably a better choice due to the built in 10% striding not to mention the useful DR.

Good going dude.

No half-elf or monk.

barb + wizard
15% barb natural run speed + sprint boost +exp retreat = fastest toon
period

Good going dude.

No half-elf or monk.

not to mention it is still slower than a barb wizard

[Loromir]

Ranger with Sprint Boost and expedicious boots is pretty fast. Maybe only behind a barb with same gear and boosts.

[Imitating]

My favorite is Human Barb 1 / Cleric 3 (or Anything 3) with Lesser Mark of Passage (exp retreat 3 x 4 min per rest) and 5 x Sprint Boosts per rest.

[Frostwhisperer]

have a warchanter 1/3 barb/barbarian that runs pretty fast

The same + 5% sprint can be achieved with a barb 4 with passage dragonmark. Barb 4 opens up sprint boost 2 while human still allows expeditious retreat. Just a small difference though, not the end of the world.

Then level 4 wizard. Haste scrolls. Build str into it for melee.

And buy half elf and monk, heh.

[Asketes]

monk @ lvl 4 will only have 2.5% over haste/P-trinket

barb @ lvl 4 will have 10% over haste/p-trinket

ideal would be 3 monk / 1 barb (but this doesn't work hehe)

ranger doesn't even compete b/c it's limited to only boosts

Or half-elf.

[SmashBang]

thanks for the replies.

Since this toon gets deleted once he/she hits 100 favor, does not make sense to me to buy any of the races or classes I do not have already..

A human Barb with sprint boost II and least mark of passage works very well for my needs. Thank you

In that case have you considered just lvl 1 human barb with least mark of passage.You will run slower , but you save time on levelling the veteran to lvl 4 on ship ,taking enhancements and gear.

If you need it you can get the sprint boost after completing a single quest to get to the next rank

barb + wizard
15% barb natural run speed + sprint boost +exp retreat = fastest toon

A barbarian only gets a 10% boost to natural run speed.
