Capable of speeding up my learning too much

Ok, so I noticed this before on a previous skill but thought maybe I was mistaken on the details so I didn't mention it then.

I sped up Penpersonship today from 9ish hours to 4.5ish hours. I switched to a different, slightly shorter skill to finish it up, then switched back. I learned for about an hour before I noticed I could speed it again. I was able to speed it from the just-under-4-hours time it had left to 1h45m.

Now, I'm not saying that I mind being occasionally able to do this, but I can tell it is not intended, so I figured I should let somebody know.

  • When you switched from Penpersonship, was the speed learning happening?  Or had you let that run out and switched while you weren't speed learning?

    Apparently the penalty for switching only applies if you switch during the speed learning time.

  • Like Wind said, not a bug in the way you think.

    If you swap skills, WHILE any sort of effect is on you that speeds learning (sunrise, floating clock, shrine donation, etc), you lose the boost AND become blocked from ever spending it up again. The visual/graphic effect of this is the rock always assures you you are learning fast. You're not though.

    To me, it's a bug since it never tells you you'll lose it for ever and ever and be locked, plus it says I'm learning fast when I'm clearly not. So, yes bug, but not the way you think. Takeaway is never switch if you have a speed learning on!

  • You guys totally misread. I was able to speed up my skill by 50% two entire times, I am not upset at a lack of ability to speed it up. I did switch immediately after speeding by 50% and was later able to speed it up an additional 50%.

    Which is cool, but definitely not intended. Thus I posted it :)

  • How do you pause a skill and then go to another one~?  I thought if you stopped a skill it would go back to 0 progress??

  • No, if you pause a skill it keeps your progress, Miso George.
