thats what i was thinking after i posted. seems like it affects the multiplier for the productivity skill.
You get an XP multiplier on each job or skill based on that job or skill's max level ("1 + the max level of the skill or job / 10" according to the description for touching the eye to reset).
cool thanks for the info.
just saw the eye desc. forgot about it after the first time. sorry. about to reset for the second time.
