Ring of Planar Traveler is out of gas

[Mudeye]

Yet another question. I did an immortal run with my druid. The party was mostly melee and had low dps on the boss. The only thing that worked well was FoD. I ended up resting 8 times to get enough FoD to down the boss. There didn't seem to be a recharger in the area, so now I have only 2 charges. I'll never be able to complete a run with 2 rests in order to recharge the ring at the end. Is my character now officially unusable on that server? Or is there some way to recharge it without completing a run?

You should be able to go back to the Queen Matriarch room and recharge. Alternatively, you should still have plenty of charges on a different server.

I believe that after immo you can no longer recharge at the Queen Matriarch. Having charges on the other servers is fine, but it seems a little broken to have characters that get forever unusable for a server. I'm thinking there's an obvious solution that I'm just not seeing.

Ah an idea! Maybe if I shackle non-immo I could do it? Maybe?

You have to either complete a run with a charger or get to level 55 and get your Workshop Token -free recharges there.
The Sage will recharge the ring but it's quite expensive iirc.

KE.

Immortals should be able to use the recharger at QM, but only until level 45. From 46-54, you need to go through Sissy or Thids (or Elysium if you're really brave) to recharge, or pay the sage 50M/charge to charge your ring up to a maximum of 5 charges. After that, you can get your workshop token and recharge in the workshop.

Not that it matters much, just make sure that you don't do another run that doesn't have free rests on that server until you can get the ring charged.

A Ssithrak run can be done comfortably with 2 rests on a ring. It's common practice to go back through the portal to rest in the free rest area after each house. 2 rests should get you through the final bridge and boss fight.

I thought it was L50 you couldn't use the queens ring charger but anyways the major point is there are ways to get by until better solutions are available to you.

[Mudeye]

Ok Good feedback. Thanks.
So:
1) QM is still usable. That works great.
2) SSithrak, I remember that having a charger but not really needing it because you could rest at the staging area.
3) I'm thinking I already knew not to do a run where I would need to rest without a viable way to rest.
4) 50M/charge is highway robbery! The feds should probably investigate that guy. I smell corruption.

Yup, Enius makes a great point, and solid advice.

Although it may be more time-consuming for the rest of your party if they have to wait for you to run back, this is pretty common practice.

As for the Sage recharge, this is also a great option (assuming you have the cash) if you can't manage to get a recharge run like Sissy, yet want to go on a run you need rests for on that server.

iirc you need 4 charges or less to recharge the ring from sage (this doesn't really have anything to do with your question or impact you at all, I'm just mentioning it to mention it)

Honestly even if you can't figure out a way to get the ring recharged before WS tag, it shouldn't be too difficult to just avoid doing no-rest runs on that server.

[Mudeye]

Actually, it seems like Sissy runs are relatively common and most people run back to rest.
The drow area runs are often desperate for people these days too, so both will probably work for me.

Yup  Sissy is a stepping stone to the rest of the mod's content so it is always in fashion

I certainly always run back to rest, but then I hoard rests even after WS tag  After WS tag though most of my friends tend to just use rest ring (and joke me for running back) so I assumed your partymates would likely do the same
