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.
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.
Partner-skill buffs now apply from anywhere in your party rather than only the active pal, so the movement, jump and glider perks listed here stack onto your traversal without benching your combat mount. The Wing Pack is the mount-free alternative: it lets you glide without a flying pal, but it only descends. A high-speed flying mount still gains altitude and covers ground several times faster, so it stays the fastest way across the map.
