Better Learning Time "Bonus" Not Credited

Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, I completed Better Learning V. Boy howdy, that took some time! 

Unfortunately, this morning I was browsing my next plan of attack on the skill tree and noticed that Mining III would take a scooch over 19 hours. No problem, I'll start it late afternoon, I think to myself. I get around to starting it up and … what's this? 20 hr 58 min 49 sec?! But… it was… uh… I swear… That's very weird. Ooookay… I'll just start it maybe when I hit the sack. Fast forward 4 hours later and now, what the?! 21 hr 36 min 35 sec?!?! Seriously? I only have (currently) 32 skills learned. And despite the BL chain affecting the count it purportedly gives a bonus to, I should be able to now learn 37 skills with NO penalty. And don't even get me started on it basically meaning that the 20% time reduction is clearly tossed out of the window.

Yet… penalty. Every time I learn a skill, the time increases on every skill. 

Bug. (EDIT: Or not… hmmm… English is hard.)

  • The same thing happened to me, but with an even stranger twist: I finished learning Better Learning V about eight hours ago, and received the confirmatory notice. Only somehow another huge chunk of time was immediately added to the timer, and (as of this moment) I have just over 9 MORE hours to go before I actually have the skill!

    On top of this, the time reduction has been removed from all skills, as Tamashii has experienced. Terrible!

  • Up to a whole day now. But then… I realized that I now actually have 44 skills learned. So… that could be the reason. Was confused by the "And" & "other" portions of "And XX other skills…"

    Still seems the 5 BL skills shouldn't apply towards your Skill Count (though that would still have me above 37).
