I really did not see anything in the database about NPC speed, which seemed strange. So are NPC speeds always going to be set via LUA? Maybe I just missed the column but I caught myself looking a few times for it. I would think the database would be a better place to control it. I can imagine times when you would possible want to change the NPC speed via a query, definitely easier than changing tons of scripts.

It can only be done in lua I believe. Only time a NPC will move is if it is combat or if a movement loop is scripted. In combat the default speeds are faster then a players and for movement loops speed can be specified per location, or you can change the default speed in the spawn function.

Roger that, just verifying before I move forward.
