This article explains how antiques function in Where Winds Meet, what they do for your character, and where to find the most important ones. You’ll learn the core mechanics, the best farming routes, and how to choose which antiques to keep.
Formula
The calculator above works out your average pace and speed based on the time and distance you enter. The formula for pace is:
Pace = Time (minutes) ÷ Distance (km)
For speed, the formula is:
Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) ÷ (Time (min) ÷ 60)
Where Time is in minutes, Distance is in kilometers, Pace is in minutes per kilometer, and Speed is in kilometers per hour. This is the standard way runners and hikers measure their performance.
Worked Example
Using the default values from the calculator above: you travel 10 km in 60 minutes.
First, calculate the pace:
- Pace = 60 min ÷ 10 km = 6.0 min/km
Then calculate the speed:
- Speed = 10 km ÷ (60 min ÷ 60) = 10 km ÷ 1 h = 10.0 km/h
So the calculator shows an average pace of 6.0 min/km and an average speed of 10.0 km/h. These match the headline output.
When to Use This Calculator
Use this tool when you want to know your real walking or running pace for training, route planning, or just tracking a hike. It’s also handy if you’re comparing two different routes: enter the time and distance for each to see which one you’re moving faster on. The result is an average, so it doesn’t account for stops, elevation changes, or terrain.
How to Read the Result
A lower pace (min/km) means you’re moving faster. For example, 5 min/km is faster than 6 min/km. Speed (km/h) is the opposite: a higher number is faster. Most casual walkers average around 5 km/h (12 min/km), while a jogger might be at 8-10 km/h (6-7.5 min/km). If you’re using miles, multiply your pace in min/km by 1.609 to get min/mile, or divide your speed in km/h by 1.609 to get mph.
Common Mistakes
- Unit mix-ups: If you enter distance in miles but time in minutes, the result will be wrong. Convert miles to km (×1.609) first.
- Rounding too early: Keep at least two decimal places in your calculations until the final step. Rounding 60÷10 to 6.0 is fine, but for other numbers, premature rounding can shift the answer.
- Forgetting to convert time: If your time is in hours (e.g., 1.5 h), multiply by 60 to get minutes before using the formula.
Limits of the Formula
This is a simple average. It doesn’t tell you your instantaneous speed or how consistent you were. If you stopped for 10 minutes, the average pace will be slower than your actual moving pace. For a more accurate moving pace, you’d need to subtract stop time from the total time before entering it. Also, the formula assumes a flat, straight line; actual distance on a trail is often longer than the straight-line distance between two points.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my pace to miles per kilometer?
If you have a pace in min/km, multiply the minutes by 1.609 to get min/mile. For example, 6.0 min/km × 1.609 = 9.65 min/mile. For speed, divide km/h by 1.609 to get mph.
What’s a good running pace for a beginner?
A comfortable jogging pace for a beginner is often around 7-8 min/km (roughly 11-13 min/mile). This corresponds to about 7.5-8.5 km/h. It’s more important to maintain a steady effort than to hit a specific number.
Does elevation gain affect my average pace?
Yes, significantly. The formula only uses time and distance, so it ignores hills. A route with steep climbs will produce a slower average pace than a flat route of the same distance. To compare fairly, use a tool that accounts for elevation gain.
Can I use this for cycling or driving?
Yes, the math works for any moving object. Just enter the time and distance you traveled. For driving, you might want to use hours instead of minutes, but the calculator expects minutes, so convert hours to minutes first.
Why is my calculated speed different from my GPS?
GPS devices often show instantaneous speed or a rolling average that updates every second. This calculator gives a single average over the whole trip. Also, GPS may measure distance differently on winding roads, so small differences are normal.
