Need confirmation on MageEvan post acensin I have checked these out myself but want to confirm. Party buffs are now influenced by Buff Mastery. Before ascension, Holy Symbol for the user was 180 seconds, and for the party members it was 120 seconds. After ascension, and having turned buff mastery on, it seems to end at the same time. Evans no longer need to buy books. I found out my sister's char was able to max magic guard and critical magic without ever buying a book. I'm wondering if its the same for all Evans now. Thanks.
