Rechargable Totems

[Malvos]

First of all buy whatever type of totem you want, (this trick seems to work with all of them) then use it down to the last charge, but DO NOT use the last charge. When you have only 1 charge left camp out to the character select screen and then log right back in . Your totems(s) will be fully charged again. Useful for when you dont want to have to head back to town and have a long run ahead of you...or just to save some cash on those more expensive health and power regen totems.

The only flaw I've noticed with this trick is that it seems the totems will randomly start rechargning to only 4/5 or even 2/5 charges instead of 5/5. This might have something to do with whether or not you actually still have the buff effect from the totem on when you camp out to recharge, but this hasn't been confirmed. Either way i have been using the same Spirt Totem of the Wolf, and Bat for about a month now...and i play every day

This is very cool. I'm going to try this out.

Hey Malvos, I just wanted to check in and let you know that I tried it and could not get it to work. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I just received a PM from another user that this does not work for them, either.

Does this still work for you?

Yes it's still been working fine for me. The number to which the totem recharges has become slightly less predictable since sony decided to remove the requirement to attune them but it defenitely still works.

I just double checked to be sure and my totem of the bat and totem of the wolf which were both down to 1 charge last night were now at 4 and 3 charges respectively. The only suggestion i could make is try logging off for a few minutes rather than off and right back in. The out and in method has worked for me but perhaps it varies from server to server.

On a side note, now that the requirement to attune has been removed I've been able to pass a totem around when I'm in a group (one i trust to give it back to me of course :p ) and letting everyone use a charge. only 4 at a time of course, then logging off and on and recharging it and letting the other 2 members use it use it...a bit time consuming but sometimes it has been the little extra help we've needed to take named mobs and such
