what is the delay when switching in an item to activate its charge? afaik it was 3 minutes on life, same here?

no delay here on Uth

The delay you are speaking of I believe was mainly put into play with ToA.

This was because many people only had their artifacts in backpack, without equiping them. When they did this, they could have the artifact regenerate it's ability, and use it when the timer was up again, without ever having to put the artifact in the template.

After this was widespread use, the reset of timers upon equip, and delay on charge items was implemented.


Since uthgard have no ToA, there is no reason for such a timer, and here you can have charge items in your backpack and equip for use as you please.

Just remember that potion and charge have each their own 1 min delay between use. (So you you need to wait 1 min between each time you use use a charge, or potion.)
