base speed 480%

[Riet]

hi, quick question about the achievement where you have to get a base speed of 480% on a employee. I can't seem to get it. Do you have any tips on how to get it?

[Lord Strong]

Start with a few beginners around 190 to 200 base speed and level them to expert. i got this achievement in a few days playing and had a few 480 speed since then. this is one the easier achievements to get unless your just extremely unlucky. I think you may need items to get an employee to 480. as far as i know just got to reach 480 with one employee. it shouldn't be to hard to get more employees to 480. just need give the game a chance to roll employees with good stats.
you get 2 numbers when looking for employees you need the second number for speed not their starting speed.

I've never seen a recruit have those kinds of numbers I have only seen 130's at best

You have to have an Expert tier employee.

Unless you recruit a super star you won't find an expert over 400. The way to get there is to hire beginners with potential over 190 like Lord Strong said and train them up.

When hiring new employees, their Current speed isn't too important, but their Potential (max) speed is, because that determines how far you can train them to go.
For beginner employees, the Potential number to look for, is around 190%+
Train up this employee, until you can promote them to Intermediate,
If the Intermediate's Potential speed is too far below 350%, they will never exceed 480%.
If you have a good Intermediate candidate, train them up to their max, and promote them to Expert.
One look at your new Expert employee should immediately tell you whether they have what it takes. If their Potential speed is 480%, start training them to get their Current speed to that level.

I had a CEO grant me that milestone.
