Notes

• Quickening Terrain works even in PvP outposts; this can cause a character under the effects of Sugar Rush or Sugar Jolt to take damage and even die within an outpost.
  • Although you cannot be resurrected if this happens, you can map out or change districts.
  • Although this type of death does not affect the Survivor Title Track, it will cause Death Penalty.
• Since you are under this effect on the Isle of the Nameless (PvP), you can die by running around with your speed boosted by the Masters of Winds. (Deaths there will halt progress on the Survivor title track.)
• Using speed boosts without any other benefits is probably counter-productive.
• During Alliance Battles, players under the effects of Battle Cry will suffer the health loss from Quickening Terrain.
• "Fall Back!" or "Incoming!" can counteract the health loss produced by this effect.
• Muddy Terrain will prevent Quickening Terrain from affecting allies and foes.
• Shameful Fear is the only skill that can increase a foe's movement speed.
• Moving foes will almost certainly be knocked down by Churning Earth.

Trivia

• This Flux was in effect from August 1 – 31, 2011 (UTC).
