Please increase the run speed ;-;
It can be a matter of playstyle as well... I mean... if you want to, or try to, you /can/ stay in the blacksmith shop pretty much 24/7 and still make it to titanium. - sure, Geoffrey has some cheaper pieces that can help you pinch and save early on, sure mining can boost you quicker if you get good lucks, but they're not erquired.
Agility is completely unnecessary, and speed is almost completely unnecessary, if you just stay huddle at the anvil for the most part.
at around 10-30 it's a beaut - by like ... I dunno how much, possibly as low as 30, but maybe more..., it's basically maxed out, and there's only really a slight difference between walking and running at that point.
That's about the same story for Strength, at around 30, it's done deal for everything - at least, in 0.0.9e - as I understand it, there's a strong possibility there could be tweaks to the stat system as well as difficulty modes
