some questions about super fast learning

the skills page carries a warning saying that you'll lose fast learning if you switch skills. can anyone explain this in a bit more detail? I assumed that if I was learning super quick and switched skill the time left to complete that skill would increase back to the length of time it should be, for example, if I had a skill that took 10 hours and spent favour points to get it down to 8 hours, then immediately switched to another skill, the time left would increae back to 10 hours. this doesn't seem to be the case though. yesterday I spent favour points to speed up a skill, and my rock was learning superfast. today I had 2 days and 9 hours left to complete the skill. I switched skills and the time left for that skill remained at 2 days 9 hours. the skill I switched to however is now also learning super fast. the skill I switched to was one I had previously already started learning and speeded up using favour points, so it seems I didn't lose the speed boost for that skill, it was just paused until I resumed it.
so a skill that is speeded up can be paused, and when resumed it's still speeded up. I thought you would lose the speed boost. is this how it's supposed to work?

  • The warning is overly broad.

    When you have super speed learning, it stays with the skill you applied it to.

    1) Imagine that Mining V originally took 10 days
    2) You speed it up so that there were only 5 days left via lots of donating to shrines.
    3) You switch to some other skill
    4) At this point, super speed learning will be off.
    5) You switch back to Mining V
    6) At this point, super speed learning will be back on, and you will still have 5 days left.

  • ah, the warning is not very clear. perhaps it should say quick learning cannot be transferred from one skill to another.

    if I'd known this it would have helped, there are times when I've wanted to switch skill but haven't as I assumed all the donating I did would have been wasted.
