I'm curious as to how much speed different bowmen have and how it affects training. Some of said 140 speed is best while others say keeping it at 12x is most effective. What do you guys think?

I have 111 (Sirius + 100% shoe scrolls, I'm cheap like that). 121 with pill, which I always use. 138 with bathrobe and maple crossbow (for traveling).

118 speed, 115 jump. 1 point in thrust, 3 from shoes, 3 from overall, and speed pill.
For me, speed is a personal thing. Whatever speed you have, its not "better, worse or recommended", its what you're used to.

140 without a speed pill and I love it
I also have 110 jump which is pretty good for me...I still can't get a good handle on jumping while in haste, I guess I don't have enough hand to eye coordination so I fall and miss ropes a lot

I absolutely hate jump, I can't stand more then 5 of it.
Seeing how I just stand and snipe at newts, speed isn't a big deal. Either way i have 101 speed, (1 from overall). I have speed pills but I never use, that's what a hog is for.

130 with a pill. I've never really put any effort into getting 140, both because 130 is good enough, and I train with NLs more often than any other class.

Back in level 3x~7x, I had awesome speed equips. Before bathrobes even came out, I managed 140 speed with a pill =P
(Awesome speed equips that cost me like 5 mil =P)
Now I got 112. Speed isn't a factor in training as much anymore, but I'll start getting more speed soon, because I'm gonna start raising Thrust now that Bliz is 21

psst, speed pills add 10 speed, Itay D: 131 + 10 =/= 136 xD
Edit; realized you werent talking about speed pills (or were you?) when you said 136. How do you randomly gain 5 speed? D:

122 speed, 102 jump (yeah, my Bosshunter Greaves have 4 slots still)
I'm comfortable with this level of speed. Half the time when I'm training I'm partied with a Thief, and I have a mount for normal usage and sometimes while training. If I need more speed, I use a speed pill. I carry a stack around with me.
I absolutely hate Thrust, I refuse to put points into it. 140 speed, especially when it's passive and you can't get rid of it, is sometimes too much. It's harder to climb towers and you're more likely to accidentally run into a monster and start firing MB because each button press moves you a mile.

And I don't understand the can't-climb-towers thing. I've never had trouble, even with 130. The main reason why Haste makes it difficult is the jump bonus, not the speed. Well, both of them combined, really.
Then again, that's not taking jump/dex shoes into account, since I've always been too cheap to wear them.

So is everyone comfortable with the speeds they use? I see jump is more of a hassle for some of you. Interesting feedback, thanks.
