Two questions on Quickness -- Special Smite-o-Mat Recipe

This is true. It also allows you double the # of attacks that character currently has (4 attacks for someone normally with 2, 8 for someone normally with 4, etc).

It also gives you +3 Def, +3 Att. It also allows you to cast an additional spell per round.

I can't figure it out by watching battles. It seems good. I usually rush for alteration 2 (I think?) if I have any water mages, it just seems so tasty.

There is a very easy way to figure out what spells do in combat. There is a pause feature by pressing spacebar. You can find out most of the effects of the game (buff wise) by using this to look at your stats/abilities/etc before and after you cast the spell. The Search Button at the top of the forum can also help you.

So:

- Do Boots of Quickness / Quickness spell increase the net BASE AP rate or the gross increased AP rate (of Heroic Ability) (oh please please yum smiteorama yum yum) -- and if so, by how much (see above question)?

Spell/MI Quickness stacks with HoF quickness. But I believe Bless Effect Quickness does not stack with Spell/MI quickness.

So yes, you can have your guy wear a pair of boots and have his HoF ability to do 3 things a turn. But you'll notice that when you script him to do spells, he won't do the first 3. He'll do 2 then he'll either attack, or cast a spell you didn't script, then he'll cast the next 2 scripted spells, then attack or cast a spell you didn't script.
