Hey guys, is this normal? I'm reading a skillbook in the truce ground, and time isn't advancing as normal (the weather's bad outside, you have plenty of time to waste), yet I'm receiving the same EXP reading it normally. However, I do still end up getting hungry, so this is subject to exploit i.e a substitute for the Hungry Demon method of the blessed curaria herb-in diet. Potentially, this could lead to quick training of difficult skills to level such as weight lifting, magic capacity, armor skills, etc. Does anyone care to verify this on their game or in later versions? I'm still playing on E+ Custom 1.58.2.
