  My head just hurts from how runescape has changed and the gigantic story. One day I'll go through its horrid wiki and see about finding out the story.
  
  Anyways, we're off topic. Anybody know exactly how long it supposedly extends music buff duration?

  
  
  I can find out, I was supposed to buy it this weekend but was so adamant on trying to get the stuff for a celtic sword that I didn't do it. If nobody answers you by tomorrow I should have an answer as I plan on buying it tonight.

  Wow, just wow. BEST PET EVER!
  
  Okay so on KR I have rC Enduring Melody, no enchanted lute (can't test beyond here but...)
  
  No Deer -> 30sec approx. (give or take due to timing/skill lag)
  With Deer -> 1min 50 sec approx. (give or take due to timing/skill lag)
  
  Overature rE
  No Deer -> 40 sec approx
  With Dear -> 2min 34 sec approx.
  
  Harvest Song rE
  No Deer -> 2min 8sec approx.
  With Deer -> 8min 30 sec approx.!
  
  Lullaby rC
  No Deer -> 10 sec approx.
  With Deer -> 10 sec approx.
  No change. Does not appear to affect Lullaby
  
  Can't test with March Song or Vivace as I don't have those two.
  
  That's about 3-4x longer duration. Pretty Sweet.
  
  Bonus:

  That's from the Tuan's Grudge skill it has. This skill lasts for 20 seconds and decreases mob movement speed while they are inside of the circle. Effect wears off the moment the mob leaves the circle (unsure if it's cause it left the circle or time just ran out for the effect. There's no visual marking on the mob).
  
  It's other skill Tuan's Whisper appears to be passive, assuming that's the skill that grants the music bonus

  Well... Dang... Look like I will need it as its a pet must for any grandmaster bards like me.

  After reading Rune's comment, isn't this pretty ridiculous...?

  I was hoping they make pets more useful rather than AOE spam, but I don't think this is what any of us had in mind.

  Okay after debating and looking at the pack data and debating some more this is what we've come up with. Hopefully it helps.
  
  Whisper of Tuan (Passive)
  Description: Buffs Music skills and grants 2x Music Skill Training in a 8m Radius
  var1 = Range of 2x exp bonus (800, 8m) You must be within 8m of the deer to receive 2x training bonus. Rough translation of the description supports this
  var4 = the multipler for the music duration buff (x3) Formula we came up with to support this (matches the timings pretty reasonably) Music Buff Duration = [Normal Duration + (Normal Duration * 3)]
  var2 and var3 are unknown
  
  Tuan's Grudge (Active)
  Description: Tuan wraps the Enemy in his strong grudge. It gets the enemy a Movement speed decrease within an 8 meter radius
  60 Second Cooldown
  var1 = We're assuming to be 50% movement speed as it makes the most sense
  var2 = Radius, 8m
  var3 = ?
  var4 = Duration, 20 seconds
  var5 = ?
  
  KR went into maint and there are still a few more things we wanted to test :(

  At least it doesn't directly invalidate music like nimbus did to healers.

  So, somewhat similar to Flying Food Truck in the sense that Tuan's concept is made for music.
  
  I'm guessing that's 2x training is user only.

  Summon Pet -> Cast Overture -> Desummon
  I'm gonna love my overture doubling in time. Repairs once a century.

  That isn't going to work. I just tested that. Overature lasted 40 seconds when I did that. However, if you wait until after the normal expire of the music buff ends, it seems to keep the effect.
  
  You also have to be within 8m of the pet, otherwise it won't work so you can't just summon it and leave it far away, it has to be with you until the normal music buff duration ends, then you can move away from it or desummon it.

  That's what people said about Fire Horses.

  
  
  Since when are there fire horses in vindy :o
  
  I mean the look of the pet reminds me of the battle/theme of the area where Regina is

  I don't think there was. Probably mabi players who never played and just assume things about Vindictus who said that.

  A mysterious spirit of Tuan once kept to by the music-loving Partholon race. This melodic companion raises your Bard Talent skill stats to the max. Your skills may disappear or your max ranks may change when you Rebirth into a different pet.
  
  The Partholon race disappeared from the history of Erinn, but the spirit of their favorite pet still remains. The Tuan has returned to join your side in a flutter of petals. The Spirit of Tuan was well-loved by Partholonian bards as it was known to aid in their performances..

  
  Looks like the Partholon kept their prince as a pet~
