The respawn timer
After a wave dies, the next one arrives after 15 s minus your reductions, never below 9 s. In this game speed does nothing for combat — it only shortens this timer.
- Every 30 speed: −0.5 s. Riding a mount gives speed; speed on gear, the Swiftness imbuement and Wheel bonuses also count (some items have negative speed).
- Parked mounts (owned but not ridden): −0.1 s for every 2 mounts, up to 11 s.
- Premium: −2 s.
In a party
In a party the timer uses the average of all members’ reductions, increased by 10%. A member with no speed, mounts or Premium slows the group down.
Examples
- Free account, not riding: 15 s.
- Premium, not riding: 13 s.
- Premium, riding a mount, 10 more mounts parked: 12 s.
- A party with that Premium rider and a free member with nothing: 13.4 s.
