Freezing Brew timer
Is this the new salvage dupe?

If you talk to any npc while having the brew active it "freezes" its timer until you are done. Pop magian spectacles and freeze it until your group pops another nm and brings it to you, kill it, rinse, repeat.

To answer the op no I don't think SE would consider that on the same level as the salvage dupe.

I agree.
It's not like you can do it with every buff since the initial release of the game.
Wait a minute....
PS. Magian spectacles don't work in abyssea.

Making more topics about the same thing isnt going to bring more attention to the topic.
Freezing timers on dialogs is as old as the game itself. I was used in sumoner burns, it was used in fell cleaves, it's used in brews.

Whatever, I haven't tried it and it's the example I heard. Use a martello, or an npc, or a conflux, or your uncle jimmy, whatever.
Well, they technically work, but you get event skipped in 45 seconds when it depops. But yea, use a martello, pyxis, w/e.

I used to do this all the time with flee. Pop flee, do something that pauses the status, wait 5 minutes, run off then pop flee immediately again when it wears. Great for getting through dangerous areas.

I don't know why they didn't work for you in Abyssea, cause I can confirm 100% that they work in there.

I just hopped into Abyssea to check. The item loads to completion and it looks like I was able to successfully use the specs, but the book didn't appear.
If you use it in town, there will be a message that says, "That action cannot be used in this area."
I zoned to Sauromugue and use it, the book appears as normal.'
So yeah, can't use it to freeze brew in abyssea.
I don't know, maybe there's some kind of condition to fulfill or it's just some kind of bug.

I used specs to freeze timer from killing Konstat VNMt3 and then killed Turlul, worked fine.
If you care about drops at all, you take a few people(hopefully each holding a pop) to help you hold the NM long enough to proc yellow/blue/red/TH before you blow it up. Lets people get +2 items, leys the person working on the empyrean pop multiples, etc.
And yea, specs definitely work inside abyssea. Your system must be lagging or something. They still suck for brew holding tho, since they event skip you out of the dialog when they despawn.

Thanks for the feedback. I know flee and other status can be frozen, but some like boost have been patched. I highly doubt SE can afford another banhammer. However, if it becomes the new standard way to burn Abyssea bosses I feel they will patch it.

The book counts as an NPC. So in normal areas if you have your NPC out, the book won't come out/cannot interact with it. By extension, perhaps Ihina is trying to use the book in a full party in-zone (i.e. no space for NPC.)
Just a guess. :p

Boost has always been like that. Even back in my ballista days (2005), if you /quarry to dig for petra, boost effect wears off when you get a temp item or petra (Or i think even if you get nothing)

Anyways that's ridiculous lol
The e-mails is one of our main concerns, with this I agree. Our second concern should be.. why would you ever brew Sobek?

As follow-up on this, and because I can't leave things alone once I get them in my head, I checked the various zones with the Magian Specs.
All alone (without party) I was unable to activate the Trial Log book in Ulegarand/Altepa/Grauberg (Heroes zones) but was able to do so in all 6 of the previous (Scars/Visions) zones. Maybe that caused the trouble for Ihina initially.
Anyone else able to confirm they are able to bring it up in the Heroes expansion zones?
