It's been so long since I've done a mathy post I almost feel weird posting this here, but the boards have been dead anyway. At any rate I finally got a chance to buy a Patentia Sash tonight and I've read that the dual wield percent is between 3-5% but no larger than 5% according to some testing at bg. I had my own hunch that the dual wield percent was 5% to coincide with the store tp +5, which is also a 5% bonus (5 sTP == 1.05 or 5% increase). This would have been a lot more difficult to test if it had not been for the fact that I have the perfect delay and dual wield setup to do this. The test is as follows.
GEAR
I only wore four items
Twashtar -- level 90 (delay 176)
Flame Thokcha (lvl 99) Delay 190
Suppanomimi -- dual wield + 5%
Patentia Sash -- sTP + 5 and undetermined dual wield
Thief99/dancer 49 == dual wield III (25% delay reduction).
The only source of store tp was the patentia sash, for a total of 1.05 and did not affect the test validity
This gave me a PERFECT cutoff
Calculating delay
176 + 190 == 366
366/2 == 183
183 BASE delay per hand
-----------------------
Scenario 1: Patentia Sash dual wield is 4% or less
If Patentia Sash dual wield was 4% OR LESS I would have a total dual wield of 34% (dual wield 3 + suppa + 4% on sash)
183 x 0.66 == 120.78, floored to 120
120 -180 = -60
-60 x 1.5 = -90
-90/180 = -0.5
5.0 - 0.5 == 4.5
EXACTLY 4.5 tp, thus after the store tp kicks in I have
4.5 x 1.05 == 4.7xxx, floored to 4.7
THUS IF Potentia Sash dual wield was 4% OR LESS my total tp per hit would have been 4.7
------------------------------------
Scenario 2: Patentia Sash dual wield is AT LEAST 5%
If Patentia Sash dual wield was 5% OR MORE I would have a total dual wield of at least 35% (dual wield 3 + suppa + 5% on sash)
183 x 0.65 == 118.95 floored to 118
118 -180 = -62
-62 x 1.5 = -93
-93/180 = -0.516666
5.0 - 0.51666 == 4.483
4.483 per hit would be floored to 4.4, ONE TENTH LESS with the increment of one percent dual wield
4.4 x 1.05 == 4.6xxx, floored to 4.6
THUS IF Potentia Sash dual wield was 5% OR MORE my total tp per hit would have been 4.6
And so I performed a series of ten hits on level 1 mobs in north gustaburg and screenshotted the results. Images incoming

CONCLUSION
After ten hits I had 46 TP, NOT 47. Thus Patentia sash is AT LEAST 5% dual wield enhancement, and most likely EXACTLY 5%. It conforms with the store tp + 5 and is a pattern S-E has used with implementing stats on gear in the past. Thus the total stats of this badass belt are as follows
Patentia Sash -- Level 99
Attack + 8, Dual wield + 5%, Store TP + 5
Take a suppanomimi, throw it in a blender with a rajas ring, set to liquidate for thirty five and three tenths seconds, and you get this belt. Not bad at all.
