I havnt played the game in a couple of days
and I've noticed the spell protect, which used
to last close to an hour, now only lasts
about 15 minutes.
Yes, Im using the same character (18 RDM),
and no, I dont have any negative status effetcs
and Im using the same equipment.
This has been going on for at least 2 hours,
so its not a one time thing.
Maybe the dunes is just acting screwy.
Can anyone else confirm or deny?

I've noticed this with all of my spells and signet.
What day was it cast on? If you cast it on the same day as the element of the spell, it's more powerful.. like using cure on light day
I do not know what day it was today, but it has been different from the past 2 weeks, or 18 levels. A significant difference, by about 30 minutes. All my other spells seem to be the same.
(shell wore off quick too, but I never really casted it that much before, so cant really comment on it.)
The only reason this sucks is becuase as a RDM, if their is no WHM in the group, I have to cast 6 protect spells every 10-15 minutes, which kinda blows. My enhance skill is maxed.

What race is your RDM? Maybe they've adjusted how the MND stat affects the duration of white magic...? I haven't played for about 2 weeks so I'm not sure exactly whats changed.
As it was before, the MND stat didn't seem to have much to do with how white magic works...it didn't REALLY affect potency of heals.
Just a thought, BLM here x.x

There are seven elements (one for each day of the week), none of these include an "Enhancing" element...as no such element exists. So, i don't think it would be the day of the week that was causing the problem.
I've found that enhancing spells are sporadic as far as how long they last. Take Sneak, Deoderize and Invisible... sometimes they last a good long time...sometimes they wear off almost immediately.
I'm unaware of the actual algorithm that produces the effects of these spells; so I cannot say anything with fact. But, see how it goes when you play again...maybe your Character was just having a bad day.
Word on Signet (someone mentioned it). The amount of time that signet lasts is directly related to your Rank. The higher your Rank the longer it lasts.

Hey, you know what, I thought I was going crazy... I always thought.. okay Signet and protect lasted longer than this...
But I guess it got changed recently in the patch, or just rather server side? It's not really a big big prob, but it's annoying to lose your signet after an hour of lvling.
