Talk:Dream Mittens +1

From FFXI Wiki

Testing

I tested this as a BLM/RDM using the number of seconds remaining on the buff, so it's expected that things will be a little fuzzy. So the approximate way to test was `Invisible;wait x;calculate_duration;wait y;repeat`. I had to vary x a bit because I started with too low a number (in fast cast gear), which means we expect the durations to drift a bit off expectation.

My "duration build" was 20% gear (Ammurapi Shield and Embla Sash) plus 46% in augments (Gada, 4/5 Telchine Attire Set) with the hands slot empty.

  • No duration gear: 455 and 600s (x=2)
  • Dream Mittens +1: 478 and 628s (x=3)
  • Duration build: 787 to 1050s (x=4)
  • Duration Build with Dream Mittens +1: 840 to 1103s (x=4)

Assuming the base duration is really 450 to 600s, the duration with my duration build on should be 788 to 1051, which is approximately what I observed.

The Dream Mittens +1 non-duration build results indicate that they're probably +30 seconds, or we would expect the lower and upper end of the range to move different amounts if they were +5%, but I could just not be sampling enough.

The duration build Dream Mittens +1 results confirm +30s imo, which would give a range of exactly 840 to 1103. I left it running while writing this, so I ended up with more samples of that combo than any of the others.

Anyway, back when the duration of Invisible was like 15 to 180 seconds, +30 would have been really cool. Now it's basically just comparable to another +10% piece of Telchine. --Byrthnoth (talk) 10:50, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
