Update to chain timers.

After doing a level 75 manaburn tonight with some extended chains, I was able to narrow in on the chain timer for chain #6+. We had one successful 6+ chain at 60 seconds, and many in the 55-58 second range. We also had failed chain attempts at both 61 seconds and at 63 seconds. Allowing 2-3 seconds for lag and observation error, I think it's safe to say that the limit is very near 60 seconds.

Also, I believe that the chain 5 timer is actually longer than 6+, but I wasn't able to catch good times on chain 5 to confirm as much.

For merit parties, the times seem to be

Chain 6+: 60 seconds
Chain 5: 120 seconds
Chain 4: 180 seconds (I've gotten at 177)
Chain 3: 240 seconds (I've gotten at 225)
Chain 2: 300 seconds (I've gotten at 295)
Chain 1: 360 seconds (assumed, could also be 300)

Leveling my SAM on Yuhtunga Mandies, I saw:

(Chain 6+ 40?)
Chain 5 at 73, not at 84 (80?)
Chain 4 at 117, not at 127 (120?)
Chain 3 at 118, not at 175 (160?)
Chain 2 at 203 (200?)

On Yhoator Mandies:

(Chain 6+ 45?)
(Chain 5 90?)
Chain 4 at 128, not at 136 (135?)
Chain 3 at 180 (180?)
Chain 2 at 215, not at 268 (225?)

I was suprised that the Yhoator numbers don't match the Yuhtunga numbers, since that would be a change at mob level 35, and the old list of timings says that they change every 10 mob levels.

Thanks for the feedback, folks. The Exp Chain Bonus Chart was updated accordingly, at least for the level 60+ chains; any further data to help straighten out the lower levels would be quite helpful.
