Sprint is ride sprint speed from the game files; run is the pal's on-foot run speed. Perks are partner-skill effects at full condense rank.
The riding overhaul changed the feel of every mount
Palworld 1.0 reworked how mounts handle. You can now cancel a mount skill mid-animation by jumping with a direction input, which chains attacks and repositions far more fluidly than the old locked recovery. Dash and charge transitions were smoothed too, so accelerating out of a turn no longer bleeds momentum the way it used to.
The 1.0 partner-skill rework added many effects worded as “while in party,” while glider modifiers also work from a carrier in your party. Those perks can complement a different active Pal, but mounted-only effects still require their own ride. The Wing Pack is the mount-free alternative: it consumes Wing Cells for free flight without using a Pal slot. Because it uses a different movement system, the raw mount-speed tables below do not rank it.
