    Company-issue engineering manual

    So i was doing some of the starter quests for the grand companies (the maelstrom specifically) and after receiving my first seals i found this little precious scroll at the seal exchange npc.
    These items give increased sp on synthesis. (theres a gathering variant of the scroll available as well)

    Now i havent seen any topic on here in regards to these so far, so i dunno how many people know about them.

    So anyway i decided to try one out and it give me about 40-50% more sp on a 3hr duration, at the rank i tried it out on. I dunno if its really a % or based on rank, or fixed and based on rank or such.

    Just figured id put the info out there since i noticed there wasnt anything on the item at yg.

    It's quite awesome for skilling up.

    it doesn't really last 3 hours it has a set amount of sp before it runs out, what I would like to find out is what that x amount of sp is before it runs out. the crafter's grace seems to run out faster than Gatherer's Grace from my experience, but that might just be me not noticing time.

    In my experience, it has been the opposite with gatherer's grace wearing much faster.

    The SP bonus seems to be around 5k

    I found this thread after my engineering manual effect ran out after just 40 minutes.

    Rough calculation based on what I was making, I think mine hit its SP limit after about 4000 points.

    It's very handy, but I just wish we could carry more than one at a time. ><
    We just have to keep going back and buying another one, I guess.

    I think I have worked out that the gatherer's grace gives 50% increase in base sp gain for 5k extra sp.

    I say bonus sp because sweat of brow doubles base sp as well, so you dont get double, then an extra 50% ontop of that

    So the going theory seems to be that it lasts until the +50% sp reaches a set amount. I thought it lasted for a certain number of synths, either way it (sadly) does not give the +50% for three hours.

    It's still well worth it, in my opinion. I've been burning through these.

    how do you "read" it? When I select it I just get options to discard it or sort my inventory.

    The mini menu with the chocobo whistle on it has a button to use items, use it from there.
