[Mining] fix speed descriptions

the percentages like in "2800% faster" are confusing, we're not here to know how percentages work and do math

edit: i can't edit the title but it's actually just item descriptions that are the problem, i only realized that after i made the post

edit2: edited out myself being wrong because i can do whatever i want on the internet

100% agree with this. The percentage usage is confusing and also adds an unncessary amount of 0s

Yeah- there are a lot of zeros. And it's confusing

I agree and hope this gets added

Yep, would love to see the consumable tooltips rectified to be informative at all without unnecessary trial and error from the user; also to have on-site documentation about how distance relates to durability... tooltips seem intentionally obfuscating to make it more difficult to determine where the "sweet spots" are.

I’m not sure I’m understanding the problem.


Using percentages like this isn’t incorrect, nor is it exclusive to LW.


If the text says “x%” faster, then it is added on. As an example, say a wolf can travel 1m/s, “200% faster” would be 3m/s. “1000% faster” would be 11m/s.


EDIT: So if we pretend the above rate was real and use your example:

800% faster would mean 9m/s.

If the Growling Grotto is 600m, standard speed would take 600 seconds, aka 10 minutes. Now, at 9m/s, it would take a little over a minute and six seconds, which is 800% faster.


WoW has mounts that have designated speeds, as an example. Ground mounts are 60%/100% faster, which means they multiply the standard movement speed by 1.6 and 2. Flying mounts are 150%/310%, which means they multiply the standard movement speed by 2.5 and 4.1.


Unless I’m misunderstanding the proposal?


EDIT: Of course, if you want it simplified, that is okay too. But 800% faster =/= 8 times. You have to factor in the base, so it would be 9 times. Percentages aren’t wrong, but if people would find it easier to read multipliers, it doesn’t affect me.

@Bone Copy - Sounds like me! 😂 I can’t count how many times I’ve proofed my husband’s reports and was like “you messed up this calculation” and it turns out it was just my inability to math.


EDIT: Percentages are confusing. I mean, look how much we all had to think! A multiplier would be much simpler to read.
