  • Knowing Spell Length

    How would you know when a spell such as Protect/Shell wears off?

    Is there a message that says "____'s Protect effect wears off." or how would you know?
    Woudl you ask your party?

      No. Each player maintains their own timer for spells. In general, spells like Shellra and Protectra last the same amount of time on players at the same level, but I have seen cases where lower level members of a party had their spells fade a few seconds before the rest of the group.

      You get a message that says "So-and-so's XXXX effect wears off" for every spell you cast, so if you cast Protectra, you will always known when it has faded on members of your party (this is also true of enfeebling spells such as Dia, Shock, Bio, etc.)

        Is it possible that the length of protection spells (like protect, shell, sneak, invisible, ect.) are character level based?

        I know the other day, I was helping a guildmate (lv9 drk) powerlevel in Ghelsba and I threw Deodorize, Sneak, and Invisible on him to get thru some orcs that conned tough to him and the spells lasted all of two seconds and he got killed. (:/ poor guy.. at least I could raise him after wards.)

        Goodbye everyone.

          I am pretty sure it is level-based (in the case of sneak/invisible/deodorize, there is also a huge random factor, as well as your Enhancing skill).
