Time to learn Cloaking V varies wildly between 2 alts

Recently returned after a decade away. According to EveMon, two of my alts both have Cloaking 4, but the time for them to learn Cloaking 5 is 26 days for one and 55 days for the other. Cloaking requires Intelligence and Memory, and the two characters are nearly identical for those skills. The faster character has 22 and 22, while the much slower character has 21 and 21. I doubt that is enough to account for such a large difference. Why does one dude train Cloaking 5 so much faster than the other, considering they both already have Cloaking 4??

is there anything training before cloaking 5 on the second one?
i canā€™t imagine that one attribute on each one is making a differenceā€¦

any boosters currently running on one?

maybe you started cloaking 5 on the first oneā€¦

hover over each skill and see how many SP is injected compared to how many total.

like mine is fully trained, so it says 1.536.000/1,536,000

0% complete on both of them.
Neither one of them is training anything currently; other alts are training right now. Iā€™m just looking at EveMon skill browser to see how long it would take to train things.

As for boosters, ā€œboostersā€ can mean several things. I havenā€™t picked up any of these new event-related boosters since returning. As for synths or medical boosters, I highly doubt I have any running. How do I double-check that?

If you have a booster active it would be in the top left screen

Idk what else would cause the discrepancy

@Gerard_Amatin any clue?

Can you please check (and share screenshots) of your training rates by hovering the skill in the skill window:

And the duration it shows in the training queue?

Of both the characters? These locations can be found in the skill window:

I have little experience with EveMon but I suspect the problem may be there and not in the game itself.

If youā€™re wondering why the ā€˜time until trainedā€™ of 80d2h32m in the first picture is much longer than the training time of 25d20h in the second picture, thatā€™s because the skill queue already contains two months of skills before the cloaking skill.

If a booster is active youā€™ll see this icon top left:

And the skills in your skill queue that are affected by the booster have the same icon as well as a >>>> pattern behind them:

Looks like the first is Omega and the second is Alpha, beside the fact that it will be yellowboxed and not trainable in Alpha mode.

Omega/Alpha could very well be the reason, it explains why oneā€™s taking twice as long as the other.

I guess this was just an EveMon thing. The time in game to train the skill is nearly the same for both alts. Thanks for the quick and enthusiastic help! What a community!
