Spear Quicken is a self-buff skill of the Crusader class that quickens spear strikes, raising attack speed, critical rate and evasion while it lasts. It is strongest with a two-handed spear equipped and forms the core of the class's offensive spear builds.
Overview
Spear Quicken temporarily speeds up the Crusader's attacks and sharpens their precision while a spear is held. The attack speed and critical bonuses depend on the type of spear: a two-handed spear grants twice what a one-handed spear does. The effect ends immediately if the spear is unequipped.
Mechanics
While active, the skill raises attack speed, critical rate and flee. Only the critical rate and the flee bonus scale with skill level; the attack speed bonus is the same at every level and depends purely on the weapon held.
With a two-handed spear:
- Attack speed: +30%
- Critical rate: +(2 × SkillLv)
With a one-handed spear:
- Attack speed: +15%
- Critical rate: +SkillLv
With either spear:
- Flee: +(2 × SkillLv)
The buff lasts (30 × SkillLv) seconds, reaching five minutes at the maximum level.
Requirements
- Requires a spear (one-handed or two-handed) to be equipped. Removing the spear ends the effect.

Notes
- The bonuses apply only while a spear is equipped; switching to another weapon type cancels the buff.
- Spear Quicken needs Spear Mastery level 5. At level 5 it unlocks the Paladin's Deadly Edge, and at level 10 it is one of the requirements for Critical Stabs.
