Anyone have a time pinned down for how long you gotta wait between reading through a spellbook to learn again?
Thanks,
Jalika
Last time I tried to nail it down, it appears each page has its own timer and lasts for 60-70 minutes. Well, probably not a timer, per se, as that is more system-intensive than it would need to be. More likely, each page is just date/time stamped when you read it (if it earns exp doing so) and checks the previous stamp to see if you're eligible. I'll have to run some more tests one of these days to confirm/deny that one (easy enough ... study then log out for a couple hours, see if I learn again when I come back :-D).
Personally, I just read the book until I am ML'd, remember what chapter/page I left off at, and ~15 minutes later read until I am ML'd again. Rinse and repeat until all pages read. When 75 minutes has passed from the time I started reading the first page, start over. Been working decently so far, have added 50+ ranks of scholarship since they came out, but I also only have just shy of 90 ranks now.

<<Hehe... read that post title and it jogged all sorts of memories about the old spellbook timers. <cringe>>>
OMG! I forgot about that. I remember hoping yer clear vision didn't wear off before you could prep and cast locate....<gazes off in the distance> Those were the good ol' days.

I believe it's an hour, and it's on a spell by spell basis. So you could read half, wait 20 minutes, and read the second half, and learn both times, but you'd have to wait another 40 minutes to learn from the first half again.

<<its 30 mins if i member right, i used to go through my spellbook once every 30 mins if i could be bothered to do it that is, would learn everytime
For me it is 45 minutes-plus, at the very least. Also, timer is on each page, not on the book as a whole.
