Greatings Dragoons.

This is more of a general request, but centered around DRGs in General.

Basically, This item here:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Earth_Greaves

Was a nice Idea by SE, it grants your Dragoon Stoneskin, a 200dmg stoneskin, Which is pretty wonderful with how many charges it has and its recast.

Problem is, The effect of these boots only lasts 1 minute, I think this is rather poor. These boots could potential serve good purposes if the duration of the stoneskin lasted 10~ minutes or so.

Some of the problems i hear on these forums are pet survivability, especially for Wyverns. Dawn Muslum helped, These items, If duration extended, could be another step to fortifying our pets.

They're cheap to make as well, and the Recast is only 1 minute.

This isn't a big problem or request, But the gist of it is, Could we see the Effect duration of these boots Extended? maybe just to 5~10 minutes.

You guys can discuss/talk or what have you, Just figured i'd throw this out. I'm disappointed at such items like this, that could be really useful, but have downsides like rediculously short duration, or effect leaves if you dequip the item.

(Now, I know the Recast on this is one minute, Essentially you can keep your wyvern Stoneskined, But I think spamming the boots every 1 minute to keep it on is the problem, which is why i think a Extended duration would be nice)

I'll be shocked if anyones heard of this item >_>

I had 4 pairs of Earth Greaves made and was very disappointed when I tested the duration of the Stoneskin effect. I'd very much like to see the duration extended not only because they help keep my wyvern alive but also are quite tedious to make. Earth animas used in making the Lithic Wyvern scales aren't sold often on Asura so I had to have those crafted. Next I had to find a Bonecrafter that was high enough to make the Earth and dragon greaves who also has the Bone Purification Key Item which is required to make the Lithic wyvern scales used in the greaves :\ I know 3 100+ Bonecrafters and only one of them had the key item :<

Would be really lovely to see the duration on the Earth Greaves extended especially for how much time/effort is put into having these crafted.
