Great value items vs Overvalued items

Huh? It does? SoW lasts 20+ minutes on a low level char I believe. Is the SoW from a SoW pot some other type of SoW (i.e. similar to how JBoots speed is different from SoW)?

I was under the impression that effect from potions were "cast" as if the potion maker did it (i.e. their level). So, if you buy a SoW pot from a level 50 Shaman, then it would be like a level 50 Shaman cast SoW on you when you used it, regardless of your own level. Is that not correct?

Pretty sure potions use the user's level, not the maker's.

Right, but my point is that if you're a lowbie SoW still lasts like 20+ minutes doesn't it? Isn't it like level 29 or 30 where it becomes 36 minutes from there? So if you're a lowbie SoW isn't lasting 1 minute.

I think Spyglass (or maybe Star Of Eyes, never had one) deserves a mention as a great value item.

If someone cast the buff on you the effect is determined by their level not yours.

I did not know SoW's duration scaled by level, but according to the wiki it goes from 27 min at 9 to 36 min at 12. If that keeps scaling down below level 9 it would match with a 1 minute duration at level 1, with 3 more minutes per level up to 12.

I wonder if there are any potions or procs that would scale to a negative duration at a low enough level, and how the server would handle that.
