Talk:Asphalt Block

most players would use lightning boots for mobility, why should players use this? its a nice convenience factor for starbriges yes, but unsure what else... 67.233.98.29 00:17, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Asphalt blocks give a greater speed boost than boots do, regardless of whether you're wearing boots or not. --186.136.108.121 17:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Does this only affect players or mobs too? If anyone knows they should add it to the article. --80.213.18.77 17:03, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Just tested, it doesn't affect mobs, will add to the article. --186.136.108.121 17:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Confirmed that when alternating blocks with air, stuff like glowing mushrooms do not negate the effect.--71.123.218.120 06:19, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Speed nerfed?
As of 1.4.0.4, my base speed while running along an asphalt skybridge (elevation 510' in a Small world) is only 53mph, and Frostspark Boots increase that to only 57mph. Furthermore, the other lower-tier speed boots (e.g. Hermes Boots) appear to have no effect at all. --Quietust (talk) 02:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
