Do you need the cape equip after the cast for it to be in effect ?

I just bought this cape and only tested once. Don't know if it's a fluke or not.
54rdm capped enhancing skill(no enhancing earring, no merits from other jobs)
on ice day; fullmoon (dunno if it's related but i'll just list it anyways)
w/ auster's staff ; w/o cape
sneak lasted 40sec
w/ auster's staff ; w/ cape
sneak lasted 3min30sec

Well we've killed Boroka now the last 6 days and so far this cape has dropped everytime which leads me to believe it is a 100% drop rate.
Day 1 - Cape, Torque
Day 2 - Cape, Earring
Day 3 - Cape,
Day 4 - Cape, Torque
Day 5 - Cape, Kote, Torque
Day 6 - Cape, Kote, Earring

well a friend of mine and me like to go exploring through vana'diel, and thus he's 61, but i'm just 54 so we got to be carefull (he's brd so can't solo a lot), i got this cape as a present and combining it with wind staff, i've noticed a long improvement on my sneak/invis combos. My enhancing skill is @104 so it's low for my lvl. This cape, atm has never failed me yet :D ~.^
Has anyone tried this out for Sneak oil and Prism powder? Just curious if it also adds to the effect of those or not. Thanks.
I bought this because for some reason I seem to do a lot of sneaking myself and/or others. I was just as likely to have a sneak or invis wear off seconds after casting when I was wearing this. While on occasion they would last considerably longer, the difference was hardly noticeable. Especially when I had a few sneaks wear off in seconds one after another. I promptly put it back on AH and was able to get my money back. (I noticed most people who bought on AH sold it back soon after.)
I tested this on True Sight mobs. I think it reduces your "cross-section" of getting aggro but does not eliminate it. I didn't aggro until I was right in the face of the mob, and where i tested it one would usually aggro far away.
OK, I bought one of these, after gettin p*ssed when I lost sneak in kuftal tunnel and got gangbanged by about 15 crabs XD
I've been testing it out, and it seems like it only improves the maximum time sneak/invisi can last.
I have had sneak last for 18+ minutes after one cast with the cape on! =D
Longest without is about 6 or 7 minutes...
**Invisi lasts a bit less, but it can be recast over the top of the original spell at least.
It still has the crappy thing where it goes wrong though, and u cast sneak and like 5 seconds later it is "beginning to wear off" ><
That needs to be sorted out!
But it happens without the cape as well, so just a bug to fix I'm guessing, as it only started happening after an update in February or March or somethin?
So in general it works, sometimes not a noticable difference, other times a huuuuuge difference =P

This cape is easily worth it's ludicrous price tag (200k when I bought one on Hades).
If I'm not wearing it when I sneak/invis, they can and do wear off in less than a minute.
If I'm wearing it, I'll probably cancel them to recast at a safe spot before either starts to go several minutes later.
The cape greatly increases the duration sneak/invis lasts for you. If you can equip it, I'd highly recommend you pick one up.

FYI, it does work. I have been experimenting with the cape a while ago and it does shows effect. According to my results, occasionally it doubles the potiency of the Sneak/Invis. I have even last 6-7mins on Darkday in Garlage(sp)Cadirel(sp)too.
Also, no it does not work for other that is casted on, ie if u cast Invis on an Ally it will not work for them, only you.
Hope this helped anyone. ^^

It does work on otheres, going through Riverne Site B01 with that and sneaking/invis pt members it lasted the entire way through
Again, someone asked this already but let me repeat ^^;... Does this affect anyone cast upon(Say I cast it on a MNK, does he get longer sneak?) or only the one wearing it(meaning that the MNK would in fact only get longer sneak if he was wearing the cape). Thanks ^^
I have one now that I bought, and it seems to sometimes be a nice boost for my halved enhancing on my SMN... But it's hard to tell if it's really handy.

It only made your cast more long (not a lot) and NOT hide u from HNM or True Eyes

Boroka drops this NM in Riverne - Site #B01
paid 300k, sad to say the benefit is difficult to tell.
While I haven't had any "immediate wearoff" cases with it on yet, I can still get short durations. I dont feel like trying truesight yet ;p
Overall it would take a lot of testing, this thing is more for psychological value than anything.

I doubt this will hide you from HNMs.
I do suspect that this will slide average duration more towards the maximum. Personally, I have Enhancing capped+15 @ 60 RDM, and I get maximum duration in most cases. (People I give Sneak+Invis actually comment on this ^_^)
RDM Enhancing and Enfeebling skills are superior to all jobs(B+), RDM75 has 256 Enhancing capped, and can have extra:
Duelist Gloves +15
Warlock's Tights +15
Enhancing Torque +7
Glamor Jupon +3
I bet even a RDM with 296 Enhancing will still have insta-fades :)

This enhances the effect of sneak and invis...
This could mean increased duration of the spells...
This could also mean True Sight mobs will not aggro you while wearing it... If I get one, I will test it...

Where can this cape be obtained? Is it crafted, quested, buyable at the AH??

Does that mean the enhancement affects the caster and anyone he casts sneak or invis upon? or does the cape enhance sneak and invis for just the person wearing the cape? If it just boosts the caster's enhancement magic then this thing is just an overpriced rag, because I haven't seen any connection to how long sneak and invis last with a caster's level of enhancement magic.
Isn't there a definative answer anywhere for what this cape ACTUALLY does other than "enhance?" Because "enhance" doesn't mean anything with sneak and invis being so unpredictable. Stabilize would be a better attribute don't you think? What good is a 30 percent boost in time when your sneak wears off in 13 seconds rather than 10 seconds just after you cast. Maybe the 30 percent is a theory untested, but I would more willing to shell out 300k for a cape that provided some stability to being sneaky and unseen.
I know mystery and unpredictability adds a twist to this game--and a bit of adrenaline, but I would like to be able to find "real" stats on some on this stuff. Tell me it will make sneak and invis last at least 5 minutes or your money back!

After try it 100 time I notice I can say :
With this item on u when u cast SNEAK or INVISIBLE the spell duration is +30%
With this item on u when u cast SNEAK or INVISIBLE the spell duration is +30%
Umm.. how do you gauge something with a percentage that has a random time span?
Actually the higher your enhancing skill the longer the duration of the effect.
actually this is not true
i am a bst/whm and yet my sneaks and invis last longer sometimes then whm/blm, and yet my enhancing would be half that of a whm... :O
this cape gives "Enhanced Sneak Enhanced Invisible" which means longer sneak and invis duration
