Next skip in?

[SiriusWorth]

I used to be able to fast forward the monster chest or raid chest whenever I wanted based on my choice to use gems. As of today I am getting a “next skip in” note with a count down until it lets me fast forward. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks!

It’s always been at a certain frequency, not sure exactly, my bet is you just tried more frequently than before or you’d have run into this already.

Sounds like you increased the frequency a bit on your skips recently. The delay point has always been at a rate yielding around 5 chests per day, I believe.

I believe the limit is three skips in a rolling 24 hour window … which works out to at least 5chests per day depending on how you space them out.

If ur paying them the 20 gems to you shouldn’t have to wait at all

My summary elsewhere:

@Guvnor

It’s a rolling time period.

Essentially the way that it got explained to me is that:

1. You essentially get 3 in a 24 hour period
2. They “refresh” at a rate of 1 per 8 hours.

So think of it like your titan, raid or world energy flags… This is a “skip chest” flag. You have capacity to store 3x skips. Once you use the first one it starts regenerating it, taking 8 hours for it to fully regenerate.

If you run out of skips (i.e. get to 0 remaining) it has a timer until your next skip flag becomes available.

This timer will always be somewhere between 0hrs and 8hrs, as this is the time it takes a skip to regenerate.

Hope that makes sense?

It’s unfortunately not a bug and is designed to stop players taking advantage of the skip chest function to get unlimited elemental chests.
