1. See Breakpoint table at
http://www.angelfire.com/nt/bones/break.html#breakpointtableRising Speed value from 7 to 50, you gain a Recovery bonus of 12.
(See complete Bones Guide at http://www.angelfire.com/nt/bones.)
Recovery penalty from wearing a Plate is 30 at Normal, 15 at Expert and Master in Plate, 0 at Grandmaster in Plate.

2. Some time ago I asked what is the Recovery bonus from Elf's Arcomage Chainmail of Recovery.
In two words, wearing this Artefact Chainmail helps to deliver blows by 20-25% quicker. Simply to say, a spear now is as quick as a dagger and a dagger is as quick as a dagger with Armsmaster bonus = 12.
