Effect
Faster movement, cheaper sprint

Running levels up as you sprint around the world, and a higher level both increases your movement speed and reduces how much stamina sprinting drains. Every trip across a biome, every escape from a Troll, and every supply run back to base gets faster as this skill climbs.

Why It Matters

Because it applies to essentially all overworld travel, Running is one of the skills that pays off from the very first hours of a playthrough and keeps paying off for the entire game.
