 | Question = Level 8 buff duration and functionality?

Let's see...according to this, it says that the majority of life and creature buffs will be self only, and that they will have a duration of 90 minutes (before augmentations).
<br /><br />
As for the mechanic for creating the spells, what I put into the previous document is all we're giving out - in a way, it's a sort of research, so you'll need to experiment around with the various components. Yes, eventually people will have them on spoiler sites, but that's fine, and we don't think the mechanic is going to be so difficult as to require a spoiler site to figure out.

 | Question = 
I know everyone is loving on the self only, but as a 1 school melee I'm certainly a bit upset by this. No way they could put limits on targets for the spells like lvl 180+ and rank X, Y or Z within their faction?<br /><br />If it is researched based I hope at least some of the comps are quested for and tradeable, otherwise melees/archers will be spending big $ on weapons while mages just buy comps and mess around with orders.

We're actually not necessarily trying to limit the spells to certain levels as much as increasing the value of the schools in which the buffs reside, particularly Creature. Level 8 spells will drop on weapons and armor, though, so an Arcane Lore Melee (or, really, anyone who chose not to get Creature) should have limited access to the new buffs - just not complete access.
<br /><br />
I thought I mentioned this in the treasure document, but all components in the new research system will drop from loot except for the scarabs. Ideally, these components will become items in the economy just as much as top-tier weapons and armor.

 | Question = Will all possible loot tiers or only the new one be able to drop these components?

 | Question = Does that mean we are going to mkae room for more comps ?<br />I thought we only need those to research the spells.<br />1 more type of scarab will not be a game breaker , but another pack of comps sure would be bad.
 | Text = Sorry if I was unclear - the new components are for crafting the spells only.
