One of the patches awhile back made it scale faster for those with lower stats, it slows down when you get higher.

I agree with Vuldan, I compared the progression a while back, may have changed, mining and chopping trees is the way to go when you’re at the keyboard (plus you get stuff), otherwise swim.

[This in no way implies I have ever macroed afk which would be in violation of df tos. It is just a coincidence my Quickness is 110 unbuffed.]
