Not quite.  There is a bug in the code that permits you to wear both an item of free action and another of haste simultaneously, but they aren't supposed to work that way. If you don the free action item first then the haste one, the haste is cancelled. But if you don the haste item first then the free action one, you get both effects simultaneously. Like I said, a bug.

Actually, if you have downloaded the Baldurdash fixes for the Boots of Speed and Grandmaster Armor, it will work, and should. The Boots of Speed specifically say that they increase the movement rate, not haste the character. The Grandmaster Armor says it acts like the Boots of Speed. So, with the patches, DarkThief7's strategy will work.[/QUOTE]But...as the developers could have fixed that haste/rate problem with the ToB add-on and didn't, I'm inclined to think they really meant to use haste (so that the character was weak after using the boots for a while) rather than an increase in movement rate (which would allow a character to use the boots indefinitely without side effects--making the boots too godlike, IMO). In this case, I suspect the boots weren't bugged, and that screen text was wrong.
