The Haste Totem was a totem of undying on Halfast during the Eleventh Era.
When held in either hand, the totem added a slight increase to mining and attack speed, noticeable but neglible in terms of advantage.
The Haste Totem could not be crafted, but it could be obtained by unlocking its prize crate at Top Survivor Hall with a Top Survivor Key received from winning Novigrad Survivor.
Grinsepaule was the first person to acquire a Haste Totem after receiving a "pity prize" honorable mention in the second month of Novigrad Survivor. Unfortunately, he was fooled by Jrod into simply carrying the totem within his inventory, so that when Jrod mercilessly slaughtered Grin it did was not automatically "popped", letting it fall into Jrod's hands with the rest of his loot.

Grinsepaule was surprised that he barely felt the effect of the Haste Totem, expecting it to provide a comparable effect to a Haste II beacon. HyperSilence revealed that while he had created the item after requests for more practical uses of the Haste effect, he had struggled with balance; he wanted players to be able to mine quicker but was wary of giving server PvPers too much of an attack speed advantage. This concern proved prescient when Grin's totem fell into the hands of the PvPer Jrod.
