Have you actually tried to build (learn)something that takes longer to build(learn) than the time that the equipment reduces the build (learn)time?

The reason I am asking is because I just tried to check myself, the quoted time doesnt change whether the items are worn or not.

This doesnt necessarily  mean they don't  work.

Apart from that,they do have other benefits.

yes a lv8 building that was over 23 hours and both item was off then i put them on and time was still the same. didnt matter if my hero was wearing them or not. no change in the time. I havent checked the other bonuses yet. i hope they are working but i dont know yet, i been busy doing other things aways from game. and that 23 hours should of had 5 1/2 hours taken off it and it didn't
