Brain capacity & learning speed confusion

I'm currently learning Furniture making 2 and I've used a lot of shrine favour to speed up my learning.  I then bought an upgrade card for 3 brain capacity units making my brain capacity 98/40 instead of 98/37.  

I assumed buying this upgrade would speed up the learning of Furniture Making 2, but it's had no affect on how long it will take me to learn it.  It has reduced the time on skills I've not yet started learning but I thought it would do the same for my current skill - is that right or wrong?

  • According to other posts that's the way it works - brain capacity upgrades have no effect on a skill currently being learned.

  • Thanks for letting me know. 

    That's a real pain though as I've still got a week to learn FM2 so I can make my house better & I hoped this would speed it up a bit :(

  • Lol, I still have 19 days to go to get that skill. I was able to speed up a lil by donating to Alph.
    I try to do that as much as possible, it helps a little.

  • @nao and LoloPop: If you need any furniture made in the meantime , I'd be happy to make it if you can provide the supplies. :)

  • I don't know if this works, but you could try stopping learning it and then starting it up again.

  • Pascale, it does not work. I did that on a suggestion in Global and it added nearly an extra day to learning FMII.

  • If you pause the learning of the skill, learn or unlearn something else, then resume the first skill, the upgrade card will affect the first skill and reduce its learning time.

  • Oops! This is not intentional (and we thought we had it fixed already): buying BC upgrades should have an impact on the skill you are currently learning. It is being fixed.

  • @Sparrow My FM2 was 30 days when I started learning it on May 2 (or 3). It's now down to 4 days and some hours, that was with the help of shrine donations and spending emblems. The pausing/restarting did NOT work.

  • @Jarhaven I think mine started out at 33 days. That was how much time I had left to go when I posted.
    I don't EVEN want to look and see how long metalworking is going to take.

  • I still have 34 days for FM2. It started at 40 days. Spending max favor points only speeds up learning for 3 hours. What a waste.
