also when there is a 3 min timer it's actual a 4 min buff, since the timer goes after 1 min from 3 to 2, after another minute from 2 to 1 and after another minute from 1 to 59 seconds.
Cool thanks for this. I was able to get the weather I needed for the Swordfish, and Fish Eyes didnt give me the 4m timer until I tried a Nomad pie. Coincidence maybe, but there could be something to needing a higher Gathering stat to force the higher timer. Either way I shall I test it again when I can. I was able to get a Swordfish for completion at least so Thanks!
