Speedman 9000 on ring resting

[woqued]

Suggestion: The planar rest ring can be upgraded in some location on the server to be able to instantly wrench the powers of space time to speed up time and instantly rest - consumes 3 charges (so 2 extra from normal) + limbo/abyss tax but rests instantly, only usable if there are no monsters on the map (same as TA). This would be as an extra option on the ring, You could still use one charge to be thrown into PPD for safety and resource management, or mid-combat resting. 

Location for access: perhaps the shortest run in Mechanus in some planar forge - or just a feature you can access first time you can reach Ixion Forge, and providing some quest materials. 

This is in line with Hell and even Abyss runs for 1 rest per map and 1 for mini, but potentially requiring you to charge more inbetween runs if doing multiple. For Limbo it would require some proper madness confidence to use it in this way. This would help with the time constraints of doing runs without adding any new power to players.

Hijacking your thread slightly.
Cool idea, QoL bussiness, all for it, it saves time. Potential issue I see is not leaving the area at all so soloers don't trigger the despawn timer.

Hijack: I would personally enjoy if the planar ring worked without actually putting it on.
I'm probably missing the balancing point of having to swap a ring in order to use it to get teleported and swap it back right away. You still can rest with the original ring on, still can use slot rings, it's just a lot more hassle for non-spontaneous casters. So all that's left is annoing nonQuality of Life.
Too often I've forgotten to swap back to original ring and did a run without an imm ring.

I'm open to these ideas. Could just do a useable hotkeyable from inventory that doesn't have to be equipped. I did the ring originally precisely because players could forget to put it on. Has more to do with challenge than balance, though it's a minor thing.

If such a thing would fit lore-wise and reward-wise in one of the places in the game, that'd be really awesome to be honest. Inventory clutter has gotten worse over the years with more potential swappable/buff items, rods and things that never leave your inventory like vestiges, undroppable items and epic spells - it seems like a bit of a unneeded thing for it to be a ring. I've ran into the problem several times where my front page on inventory has no space after using my ring of choice for the run and found it (mildly) irritating that i need to deliberately make space for the ringrest swapping as close to ring slots as possible for least trouble. Ring on, ring off. Ring on, ring off.

Perhaps the ring could still be a ring until it is used as a material piece for this newer fancy eldritch/mechanical/magical device that no longer needs equipping and get the expensive instant resting feature on top. Sounds pretty cool to me, and a fairly lucrative reward not quite compareable to TA but more universal for characters.

DND 5e has this boon:

BOON OF PLANAR TRAVEL

When you gain this boon, choose a plane of existence other than the Material Plane. You can now use an action to cast the plane shift spell (no spell slot or components required), targeting yourself only, and travel to the chosen plane, or from that plane back to the Material Plane. Once you use this boon, you can't use it again until you finish a short rest.

Adding a new ability to players that could be activated could be really nice for rests - remove the need for a ring/additional item. You could even remove the 10/pedestal requirement, and implement a cooldown (e.g. 2x / 15 minutes).

Removing the equip requirement would be great additionally because it would remove the need to !sb fill when swapping out a slot ring to rest, which is just a little inconvenience but doesnt add a challenge to the mod.
