Does the refill system work on a specific time reset or is it always 24 hours after the last one.

I read something in a forum post very recently that implied the former and that there is a way to time refills around the refill reset in order to use 2 very practically in succession so that combined with the original full bar you can 3 full bar trains in within a few minutes.

Does anyone know if its true and if so what time is the rest?

I can't find the post where I read this recently.

No it works on a 24 hour countdown, if you refil now you won't be able to refil again until this time tomorrow

Sorry MB but that's incorrect, as others have said above the refill timer counts down to the new day reset every day (ie. 12:05am TC time), regardless of when you refill as it pretty much always has - it used to be 12:04am but they pushed the new day crons back to 12:05am a while back.

erm, but its not 12:05.

its 12:04. i did it today, and it was definitely 12:04 that the cron reset.
i mean in the end of the day for the OP it doesnt matter, he just has to use the first refill between 12:00 and 12:04, and then use the second after, but in the interests of accuracy,,,,

its 12:04 :P
Butters [34298]

It's definitely 12:05 and has been for a while now.

Don't bother looking at the game clock at the bottom of the tool bar as it's buggy and often falls behind by a minute or two - look at the timers for your energy / life / nerve regen as they are accurate and in sync with the server clock.

Also to point out... the renewal time being :04 or :05 is always that in TC time.... so if you live somewhere with daylight savings time adjustment, that will change the time when the renewal time hits for you personally when daylight savings time adjustments occur

There is a very simple explanation - there is no need to over complicate things.

You can use 25 points to refill your energy once only in a 24 hour period.

That does NOT mean you have to wait 24 hours before you can use 25 points to refill again. It simply means you can only refill for the second time after the cron kicks in 4 minutes after midnite. So, yes you can refill at 5 minutes to midnite and at 5 minutes after midnite. But after that second refill you will not be able to use 25 points to refill your energy again until after the next midnite. Thus we arrive back at the original statement "You can use 25 points to refill your energy once only in a 24 hour period."

Of course there are other methods you can employ to increase your energy. :)

As far back as I can remember it was at Torns end of day...6 or 7 o'clock Texas time. The only thing that has varied is the exact time that occurred after Torn EOD that might be different.

No offense meant MB...just trying to poke the hornets nest a bit. ;)

I always thought the count down timer on the points page didn't care about the actual time but then again I have never had to use refils under a limited time frame

The hornets nest is trying very careful not to swarm lately so would appreciate if you didn't try poking it with a stick ;)

Timer resets at 00:05 TCT. So you could use points at 00:04, then again at 00:05. I'm guessing this in regards to training, and it does work well if you can time it right, but I wouldn't wait around a few hours for this when you could just start stacking again. Especially since points cost is rising and the amount you gain (gym) from a refill is minimal compared to the main train.
