The Virtuoso's Suit
The description for this says Improves Active Bards mastery bonus x2. Now I have tried and my buffs still remain the same both displayed and on my pet. Does this only work for a certain mastery or is this suite broken? By the way I am using it with the peace mastery.
Thanks
Thanks

@Mariah not much on UO wiki
Did you double click it to activate it? can only activate 1 piece at a time.
Looks like you get a 10% Bonus for 1 min and a 15 min or 30 min cooldown.
I think the X2 is the non mastery skills are 5% and the mastery one is 10%. But you can only use the mastery skill...
Try activating it and be ready to test it.
Maybe you can activate a different armor piece every 5 mins.
I did double clicked the hat while wearing all four pieces. First tried with the Mastery (Peace) active, displayed buffs did not go up. I checked my pet also and the regens didnt go up. I then waited 15 minutes and tried again with the mastery not activated. I then activated and it did not increase the regens. You can activate the second piece once the first piece quits. Just doesnt do anything with the peace mastery. I do not have any of the others to test with. I think it stayed active for 1 minute. So if it worked you could use it for 4 minutes and then wait for 11 minutes and start all over again. The time for each piece is kept separate or so it seems. I could be wrong on some of the times but I am doing this from memory and I am tired. Thanks for the response. I will go to test center and see if I can figure out how this works tomorrow. If a developer wants to chime in and save me some time that would be great. I tried searching the UO site but no information to be found on this suit.
https://stratics.com/threads/virtuosos-set.266920/ So it works not like I thought. Seems weird. But OK.
So lets say you have the Peace mastery activated. You click a piece and for 1 minute you have a 10% higher chance to Peace a Mob. During that minute you also have a 5% higher chance to Discord or Provoke a Mob.
Do you have to wear the armor piece or does it work in your backpack?
I guess it would be used on a Boss fight. Most are difficult to Discord. So you get a 10% higher chance for 1 minute to discord the Mob.
So the way I am reading this. If I have discord as my mastery I get a 10% bonus chance to discord without the Virtuoso's item. If I activate the item I then get double 20% chance to discord. If Peace is my mastery and I use discord I get a 5% increase chance to discord and if the item is active I get a 10% chance to discord. I got that information from a comment in the above linked thread. Which I pasted below.
Bard Mastery Bonus is an item property found on the Virtuoso's set. Bards with any mastery gain a 5% bonus to their success chance when using any bard skills and a 10% bonus when using the skill of their mastery focus. When active this property doubles the bard mastery bonus to a 10% bonus when using any bard skill and a 20% bonus when using the bard mastery focus skill.
This is making my head hurt. But it is clear as mud now.
What % increase do I get with just 1 piece.
