I was playing an alternate character (Erudite Wizard) 12th level. Me and my
shaman buddy were bumpin around on Wisp Island and I ran into a bard of 13th
level who we grouped with, after about 5 min the "light" went on, The Jig!
So I grabbed my handy (never once used) stopwatch. 3 bubbles of mana regen
with:
No Song: 170 sec standard
Jig singing: 149 sec 12.35%
Jig with drum 138 sec 18.82%
I did this test twice just for some repitition.
I intend to meet my shaman buddy with my 20+ level bard and do similar tests
to see if level, singing ability, percussion ability make a difference.

P.S. - I had always thought it was really in my friends head when they
always wanted me to play the jig even over restoration, but I guess not.
