    Quick obi question...

    Just curious to those that use these often: is the bonus given ONLY to numeric effects? (i.e. elemental magic, curing, etc.) or does it also seem to help land/lengthen enfeebling magic, and strengthen enhancing magic dependent spells, too? (i.e. enfire, phalanx, ice spikes)?

    btw, stfu about the crafting bit, seen that go on for pages at a time. I just want to know what others that have them have noticed.

    Better question is does weather/day effect buff spells.

    You should of know that if you are RDM ^^; Idk about Obi if they have hidden effect, so I'll answer like they have none.

    Staves, Obis, etc. will help with Enfeeblnig magics (Slow, Paralyze, etc.), but nothing for Enhancing (Bar-spell, En-spell, etc.)

    Staves & weather DO help enspell. Staves only help when they are equipped though, which makes that benefit pointless, but it is there.

    The real question is, does having an obi equipped lessen the chance of your enspell damage being resisted?

    Seconded, i got a wind obi just to test this. Definately get day/weather procs on every swing.

    As for "do they help not resist", I'll have to look more into that.

    Day/Weather does give bonus damage to en-spells. For example, on Iceday with double blizzard weather I have seen Enblizzard go up to 25 additional effect from the base of 19. (You get a 10% bonus with the day and each weather level, but the bonus does not proc 100%.)

    does it also seem to help land/lengthen enfeebling magic

    :Yes on land no on lengthen

    strengthen enhancing magic dependent spells, too? (i.e. enfire, phalanx, ice spikes)?

    :Dont think phalanx help with obi I do know it will boosts enspell/spikes dmg
