How Fast Is An Archer's Speed Compared To Horses?

Hello,

Just a quick question, does anyone know how the Archer's Speed effect from Escape II compares to travelling on horses. On the Wiki it says using the spell can be faster than a White Horse over short distances, but is it more efficient to move using speed instead of early access horses?

Thanks

I'd say it's usually best to use Archer's speed over horses, especially with speed builds. Horses can be subject to lag which ruins travel with them, and with Archer's Escape you can perform massive jumps.

 

Horses' step assist is a blessing tho
