Waning Gibbous 67% - 62%

257 ninjutsu casts
17 triggers

Trigger rate 6.6%

Yinnyth: Ah good to know it is an established phenomenon, and not just me losing grip on reality ^^

Tile: I'm not sure how relevant the time it takes to trigger would be, considering I don't just sit there and cast magic. I have to pull back to avoid links, do weaponskills, rest sometimes, and so on, and not every enemy I pull is a mage.

That said, you can calculate a theoretical "average time to trigger" based on my trigger percentages. For me (little haste gear, no fast cast gear), I can do a full elemental wheel of Ni level spells (1.5 sec each), then one Ichi elemental spell (4 sec each), and have ~2 seconds before I can start the Ni elemental wheel again. With some spreadsheet-Fu, after 224 of these cycles (6 Ni, 1 Ichi, 2 seconds wait), that will come to 1568 casts taking 3360 seconds. All my data thus far points to a 6.5% trigger rate, so 101 of the 1568 casts - would theoretically be a trigger.

101 trigger / 3360 seconds = 1 trigger / x seconds
0.030 trigger / second = 1 trigger / x seconds
x seconds = 1 trigger / 0.030 trigger / second
x seconds = 33.27

So in a world where I can just stand around casting ninjutsu 100% of the time, it would take 33.27 seconds on average. A more realistic measure, but still a bit muddled because I spent some time on a few Taurus and a Hydra Dark Knight, would be from my Tavnazia run: 20 triggers / 2 hours = 6 minutes per trigger on average. This factors in "reality", time spent hunting for time statues, time spent pulling/weaponskilling/resting/using pet abilities/getting camped on/opting not to target bombs/fish for the midnight hours.

Edit: if someone knows how much earth time corresponds to 8 vanadiel hours (the time I spent not pursuing magic trigger), that little Tavnazia calculation would be reasonably better.
