Semi-permanent learning speed-up

I almost hesitate to report this, but....  

Last night I drank a Pungent Sunrise, which sped up the learning on my current skill while the progress bar ticked down, but then when the effect should have worn off... it didn't.  This morning, I am still "learning super fast", the effect never wore off.

  • I saw this too, but wasn't sure if the "learning super fast" notice just wasn't being taken away, or if it really was learning super fast for longer than it should have.

  • OK, so I just did a test on this, and this is what happened:

    I drank a Pungent Sunrise, and it started the countdown. The skills page showed no change, even when refreshing. The rock animation sped up in-game. After the countdown was over, the skills page then displayed the "Woah, your learning super fast!" message, but there was no difference in the time left to learn the task, or the speed with which the counter counted down. The rock animation continued to move fast in-game.

    As far as I can tell, the only effect of drinking this drink is some animation and text changes (some confusingly unexpected), but there is no actual change to the learning speed.

  • The same happened to me after getting the "clock" quoin. I learned one skill fast (or at least the animation went fast... didn't pay attention), then the next skill was normal, but on the skill after the super fast animation returned (looks like the actual speed was normal).

  • I have the "learning super fast" notice, but the timer countdown on the skills page is going at normal speed... so it seems like this is still a bug?

  • I'm still stuck with super fast learning but only for one skill even if I change skills.  Better Learning V but any other skill is fine, but as soon as I change back it's stuck.

  • You actually don't have super fast learning.

    What happens is if you had speed learning running (from shrines or whatever) and then switch skills while it is active, that skill is locked into "speed learning" but you are not learning any faster. There is no message on this, but there should be imo, which is why I bugged it myself a while ago.

    There was a discussion on the mechanics of this here a few weeks ago which is how understood what happened. The net result is you should NEVER switch skills iF you have a speed learning running as this bugs the skill out. I got stuck with a 9 day time for BL5 because of this.
