Movement Speed is a statistic that, as its name implies, affects how quickly a character moves.

Base movement speed is 5.0 (measured in yalms/second) and the maximum possible movement speed is 8.0.

Base player movement speed was originally 4.0, but was increased by 25% to 5.0 in [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/38764 December 2013]. Every +0.1 therefore represents +2% movement speed, and all speed adjustments are multiples of this value. Although gear was adjusted to compensate for the base speed change, job abilities and other enhancements were not, and the global cap was not increased. For example, Flee, which originally increased movement speed by 100% (to 8.0/4.0), is still subject to the global cap of 8.0, resulting in a movement speed increase of 60% (8.0/5.0). Similarly, buffs that used to increase movement speed by 25% (+1.0/4.0) now increase it by 20% (+1.0/5.0).

Movement speed is one of the few variables in FFXI that is entirely controlled [[clientside]].

==Quantification==
There are various clunky ways to quantify movement speed (Ex. [[Talk:Atma_of_the_Master_Crafter|example]]), but the easiest way is to look at the speed number sent in packets. Windower's SpeedChecker addon does this.

==Enhancement Bonuses==
Movement speed can be directly affected by certain spells, abilities, key item effects, items and enchantments, and equipment.

=== Active Effects ===

*[[Atma of Ambition]]: +12%
*[[Atma of the Master Crafter]]: +12%
*[[Cheer: Jumbotender]]: +3%

=== Temporary Effects ===
*[[Flee]]: +60%
*[[Sprinter's Drink]]: +60%
*[[Hermes Quencher]]: +60%
*[[Pom-pom Fruit]] ([[Quickening]]): +10%

=== Volatile Effects ===
*[[Raptor Mazurka]]: +10%
*[[Chocobo Mazurka]]: +20%
*[[Bolter's Roll]]: x1.0~1.62
*[[Chocobo Jig]] ([[Quickening]]): +20%
*[[Fleet Wind]] ([[Quickening]]): +20%
*[[Sprinter's Shoes]]/[[Rarab Cap +1]]/[[Talaria]] ([[Quickening]]): +10%

The effects of spells, abilities, and equipment stack up to the maximum movement speed of +60%. All sources stack additively, with several notable exceptions:
* Only the highest value from equipment counts.
* [[Mazurka]] and [[Quickening]] effects have a combined maximum value of 20%.
* [[Bolter's Roll]]'s effect is multiplicative with equipment, but not with other sources.
Thus, the closed form is:
<nowiki>(100% + max(Equipment)) * Roll + min(sum(Quickening, Mazurka), 20%) + sum(Active) + sum(Temporary) <= 160%</nowiki>

The client only receives even movement speed %s, so totals that are odd will be rounded down to the nearest even number.

All volatile effects wear off when the player takes any offensive action against an enemy, or is the target of any offensive action, even if the action is evaded or resisted.

==Debuff Reduction==
Movement speed is directly reduced by the [[Weight]] status inflicted by the spell [[Gravity]] or monster abilities with a [[Weight]] effect. This penalty can range from mild (-12%) to very significant (nearly immobile) depending on what caused the weight effect.

The [[Weight]] status can be inflicted upon enemies via [[Gravity]], [[Gravity II]], [[Indi-Gravity]], [[Geo-Gravity]], and as an additional effect on various weapons and Weapon Skills.
*Weight effects stack between Gravity and Indi/Geo-Gravity.

==Equipment Bonuses==
[[Shneddick Ring]]/[[Shneddick Ring +1|+1]] and [[Kupo Suit]] are the only pieces of equipment that gives +18% movement speed to all jobs, and the rings are mutually exclusive with other [[Seekers of Adoulin]] ring rewards.

Shneddick notwithstanding, each job has access to at least one piece of equipment that gives an unconditional bonus of at least +12%, and most jobs have at least one that gives +18%. However, some of these pieces of equipment are considerably more difficult to acquire than others, and some incur significant defensive compromises while equipped.

Jobs without any 18% movement options at level 99 (outside of Shneddick Ring) are also non-iLVL gear:
* WHM / BLM / SMN / SCH
* SAM / NIN (outside of Dusk 17:00 to Dawn 07:00)
* WAR / MNK / PUP

The following is a list of the best options for each job based on shared jobs and max speed as well as ease of acquisition. Items like Herald's Gaiters and Skadi Jambeaux +1 are only optimal for the jobs listed.
