With the recent changes to concentration/boon duration (e.g. platinum doubloons now being +40 concentration instead of +4% boon duration), what foods and utilities now offer the most concentration/boon duration?

Hey man.
I had a prepatch build with 67% boon duration (100% after weaponswapping with concentration sigill) that worked without any boon duration runes, so i could use some other.
It “just” used Fried Golden Dumplings for 20% more boon duration, and “normal” utilities.
Every class has a boon duration traitline, make use of that.
I used commanders stats on armour and some weapons (Power/Precision main, Toughness / Concentration minor) and achieved 67%

After patch i was forced to go complete commander stats (all armour, weapons, trinkets) except 1 trinket (Amulett, thats still berzerker) and in addition to that i am using superior maintenaince oil… get to 67.7% boon duration.

Keep in mind though, that this is a personal choice of mine, if you slot boon duration Runs (Durability, water, etc) you can achieve 67% boon duration way easier (100% after weaponswap with superior sigil of concentration)

I like to have free rune choice, so i invested in commander trinkets and armour…

Thanks for the info

Does the superior maintenance oil give any added boon duration? From reading the wiki, it doesn’t appear so, but I’m probably not interpreting it correctly.

it converts a percentage of your precision (3%) and healing power (6%) in concentration.
Every 15 points concentration give 1% higher boon duration.

The build i run doesnt really use healing power, i only have a few trinkets in my inventory and swap them in if needed. The 3% that is converted from precision ist useful though, i run precision on every item, so its quite high and it gives round about 4.68% longer boon duration i think

Edit: Calculated the boon duration from the utility i have and corrected it (4,68% )
