Altana's Favor = Forever Reraise

I've been dabbling with Cait Sith's Astral Flow ability, Altana's Favor, and just wanted to share my discovery. It all started when I accidentally hit my Altana's Favor macro between Skirmish runs while trying to RR2 myself. It gave RR3 to my whole party. Well a few days later my friend informed me that he had not logged off or changed jobs, and that RR3 was still up. That was last Thursday (the 12th).

Well, last night I accidentally overwrote it with a fresh one, I guess he was closer than I thought he was. (I think he just wanted to be free to change jobs again!) That was about 2 hours before the 1 week mark.

So yeah. Altana's Favor RR3 lasts at least 1 week real time. My guess is it might last forever...

...or a bug? Isn't that what you'd think first?

Another quirk, or at least a couple updates ago:

1. Cast Magic Barrier.
2. Change jobs.
3. ???
4. Magic Barrier's still up.

Just tried it, still works. On 49 WAR/WHM with 500 damage Magic Barrier up. Not that it helps all that much after the first couple enemy spells.

Maybe if SE didn't have such a hard-on for SMN lately :) But you're probably right.

Sounds like the bug when the Phantom Roll rings came out. You could Roll and 11, and you would always keep the Bonus 11 buff on you, being the low recast timer and unable to gain the Bust effect. So you could always spam rolls for best outcome. Even if all rolls were to where off, you would keep the low recast and non-bust.

Sadly, it's fixed now.

Not as great as the unlimited Quick Draw bug, or, to a lesser extent, the Flee-speed Mazurka bug.
