Did this ever get hashed out?

Nope, like all broken Necromancer spell issues it has been ignored.

Here's a quote from 2000 saying it was 15 minutes.

Quite annoying. Hard to see if your pet is still doing good damage now too since u practicaly need to be on top of them to see the damage messages.

[Potus]

Yeah I basically recast Augment every 3rd pull, it's frustrating because it takes forever to refresh.

Having a Necro, i would like to know if this issue will ever get fixed.

Dunno, not sure what Duration Formula 8 is.

eqemu sez...

case 8:
	i = level + 10;
	return i < duration ? (i < 1 ? 1 : i) : duration;

Level + 10 ticks, up to a cap of <listed duration>. In other words, at most 70 ticks = 7 minutes. Probably why it's so short in the first place.

Who knows if that formula is right and/or period accurate, though.

Alright.

Unless anyone can find a solid date when this spell was altered before Velious, it most likely will not be changed.

Probably not because we have people before Velious saying it's 15 minutes.

This is the correct formula.

No, it is not correct. The spell does not have the same duration as the lower level version. I already posted on the first page what it should be as there was not a change in length of pet haste spells until later on when they were all changed to 1 hour. The information on Lucy spell data is what it should be until all the spells were changed to 1 hour. You would be hard pressed to find buff spells in EQ that do not scale up by level which would be consistent with Lucy's data.
