So, I have seen several forums about how donating works, but I am still quite confused. I do not have the internet in my apartment until next week, so I have been checking forums from a cell phone and cannot really search through all the old forums to see if any answer my questions. If any exist, please post a link to it for me!
How does speed learning work? I understand you can get a skill to 50% of its time and nothing more than that. However, I think there may have been some bugs surrounding this or there is something I am confused about.
a) Kevbob mentioned that you can't use Pungent Sunrise or Yellow Crumb buffs (which speed up learning) after you have reached 50% time. I have used Pungent Sunrise before and it has worked after I was at 50%. So, was that a bug when that happened, or has it changed? Also, if you really CAN'T use either buff after you have learning sped up to 50% then there should be some sort of warning or something so that you don't drink a bunch of drinks or munch a bunch of herbs trying to get skill times down without any effect.
b) It says when you pause a skill that you lose speed learning. But I have paused and restarted skills and have not lost my speed learning. What's more, I have paused a skill with partial speed learning (we will just say 25% cause numbers make more sense), then restarted the skilll and was able to donate to get up to 50%. Is that a bug? If not, what is the "punishment" for pausing a skill?
If we could get some dev input, I would really appreciate it. The whole thing can be quite confusing, and I would like to be as efficient as possible when the game launches so I can learn some of my favorite skills faster!
