swimming formula

[Shruikan]

what's the formula for swimming, for example, how many tiles can i swim with 50 con?

[ApocalypsePlease]

There was some changes made to swimming a while back and I'm not aware of if there's a proven formula which manages to work for all cases( the old one wasn't that friendly to work with either).

I will say however, with 50 con, you should be able to swim across about a 20 tile river with a little wiggle room. To provide an extra layer of safety, back off from the river and have your character set to path across it, and right click a waterflask to bring up the flower menu (you need to do this before you start swimming or the menu won't pop up). With this, you are able to drink when you start to get low on stamina (somewhere between 30-50% depending on how risky you want to be with lag).

Please note, whatever you take back from what I've written here, I still hold by suggesting you to either obtain more constitution before swimming, and/or wear a ferryman ring for absolute safety. I do not take any responsibility for anything that may happen with you if you choose to take my advice, you are the one who makes the choice and are responsible.

I know you mean that quite seriously but.........
makes me laugh.

I already knew this, i only asked for the formula... But thank you anyway

So... back to my question

[Amanda44]

He did answer - he said 20 tiles, or thereabouts.

We used to know the formula, but it worked off the atomic coordinate units and elapsed time. Then at the start of world 4 (Pretty sure), swimming got buffed so it wasn't so dangerous, and with that there was a new system put in place. We haven't been told/learned how to calculate exact distances yet. From personal experience, I can say it should look something like this:

Code: Select all

Distance = 10*sqrt(CON/10)

I know you want an exact formula, but dude, it hasn't been figured out yet so I wouldn't hold my breath.

okay, i think this is good enough... thank you

was it you that died to swimming because, on the wiki it says you can swim 10 tiles with 10 con, so you thought that with 28 con, you could swim 28 tiles?
that made me laugh

the only time I've ever swam was because a bear got between me and my boat.
The only time I will swim a river will be running away from people with swords.

And because you made that reply I threw in an extra phrase so nobody ever has the trouble you had
