<Even worse, if you step out of Reim once you've transported, you can't return within the same 2-hour window without burning another transport.>

This is incorrect.

You can transport unlimited during the 2 hour window. You are only charged for the first transport.

Yep, just returned back in. recouped energy in under an hour and finish around that.

Wisps of ethereal energy start to appear and undulate in a circle beneath your feet. Stray tendrils slowly circle your body in a chaotic motion. Glancing down, you watch your body shift into a shapeless mass, and panic sets in as the world turns white.

Rune-carved mooring stones secure massive iron chains at the edge of a nearly vertical precipice. A small pool of clear water reflects the sky overhead and a tall, craggy peak in the distance. To the east, a narrow footpath leads away from an abandoned guardhouse. You also see some ethereal mist.

Also, most people do Reim in groups. It takes like 15 mins to get 500 energy in a large group.

Look for the vortexes

Great, thank you both!

What? No. Doing Reim one singular time, gets you enough energy to do transport back to there four times. If you just transport there once, and do reim until you replace the 500 energy, you will always have the energy to go back the next time. It's a self-sustaining thing. None of the other Reim boosts are worth wasting the energy on anyway. So just always use the energy to get there, kill at least enough stuff to replace the 500 (which is trivial) and voila. I don't understand this perceived problem.

I think my experience is tainted by always doing Reim in large groups. I guess if you are trying to solo it, you won't get that much energy.

It's both ways. And the more you do it, the higher your max energy gets so you can save up. I've never had an issue unless I spend my energy elsewhere, like mana boosts when I run the fortress defense.

It's near impossible to not get enough energy in a group unless you aren't "tagging" as many ghosts as possible. Always be using AoE attacks to get credit for as many as possible.

>Always be using AoE attacks to get credit for as many as possible.

When I went, I had only a weapon, and fought every single moment. My training has changed since then, and while I do have an area magic attack now, I would never use it where it is busy, because someone could get hurt.

:(

I have been so frustrated about Reim all this time. Until we can get there from FWI or something, and I keep hoping that would happen, I just do not know what to do.

You cannot transport in until you get to the second reputation level (friendly). You are kind of forced to migrate to Icemule for your first few runs. It is possible to get to that reputation level quickly if you go in a group.

Yes, vortexes are your friend! The player map has them on there.

> You are kind of forced to migrate to Icemule for your first few runs. ~Retser

Yup, this is precisely why I haven't done it with my other characters. My characters live on the other side of the world and I don't want to upend them for days/weeks or spend serious ducats on chronomages.

> FWI Portal... Just saying!

I'd be up for that. Or, if another Reim-like adventure comes out, have the new iteration be located in the East to spread the love a little.

>Don't forget that to also do the tavern quests for additional energy and such. That helps bridge the gap and keep your energy high if you're still working on it

Tavern quests cost energy. Its an extra 100 to transport to them. If you are tight on energy and transporting, you need to avoid doing them.
