Regarding the speed counts point. I believe it should stay as it is. It's a temporary buff that allow players to escape a risky situation. If you were able to run more frequently at this speed most of the dangers you can encounter on Atys won't be as dangerous as it should.
That's also why I dislike a lot speed eggs. But what could be a nice idea is an occupation to allow players to craft their own speed pact (or whatever you want it to be called). I also like Revvy's idea about speed buff on armor.
And maybe add another threshold than just increase speed by 100% as eggs and speed stanza is doing.
At the moment, if you want to go fast you still have the mount option.
