In almost all circumstances except traveling very long distances at high altitude you're better off using the broom.įor reference, your sprint speed on foot is 580. If you're fine flying low for the infinite broom boost, the broom is faster.

So if you're wanting to fly high (so you would be toggling the broom boost off and on) the mount will be faster. The broom is slower without boost, about 17% slower. The broom is ~11% faster if you're flying low enough to always have your boost on. They fly at 2000 when diving down at a steep angle. The mounts fly at 1200 when at max speed without the higher speed toggle (shift) and 1800 with the fast mode on once reaching max speed. The broom flies at 1500 with 'sprint' without boost (the higher speed toggle, shift on PC) and 2000 with boost. Putting it all together, the fastest broom is 11.1% faster overall and additionally boosts 17.6% faster, can maintain infinite boost at 4 times the height from the ground, and the boost drains at half the speed. Each upgrade reduces the boost decay by ~25-30%.

The default broom can boost for half the time compared to a fully upgraded broom. The last stat that is different is the decay rate of the boost meter while flying above the infinite boost height. In total you can fly 4 times as high while maintaining infinite boost. Rank 3 is 50% higher, and rank 4 is 33% higher. So it's 1/3rd the range of your normal spells. To further put that number into perspective, most of your spells have a range of 3000. 750 height is only around 10 map-units (the number you see when you waypoint something). The default broom can only maintain infinite boost at 750 height or less. The upgrades allow you to fly at a higher height while maintaining this infinite boost.

In case you're unaware, your broom can maintain the boost infinitely as long as you're close enough to the ground. The biggest difference with the broom upgrades is the minimum height you can activate the infinite boost. Works the same as boost multiplier essentially, ~5.5% per rank. Turbo is the speed with the yellow ring boosts. The speed multiplier might also apply to your speed while boosted too (unconfirmed), making the boosted speed of an upgraded broom even faster than 15%. Each upgrade increases the boost speed by ~5.5% compared to the previous rank. The default broom is 15% slower while boosting compared to the broom with all 3 upgrades.

Each upgrade increases the speed by ~3.5% compared to the previous rank. The default/base broom is 10% slower than the best broom with all 3 upgrades. The speed multiplier simply reduces the base speed of the broom.
