There were no lockout timers the week I farmed them. The thread is just taking up space. Thanks all for the feedback.

If they werent there 3 weeks ago, it was a bug. I remember those things having a 30 minute lockout over a year ago. They were put in on many DoN missions at the request of many players cause people were farming them way too fast.

I farmed 1200 crystals three weeks ago finishing Grounding the Drakes in 15 to 25 minutes. There weren't any timers that day. I don't know if it was a bug or not.

At the request of many players? Why would players care about fast instances? They are instanced so they don't relate to anyone not actually in them.

It is not a 30 min lock down, and it's always been there. The way it works is that from the time you get the mission you have a 45 min timer. So if you finish in 18 minutes, then 45-18 leaves 27 minutes or around 30 minutes. If you finish in 44 minutes then ther would be only 1 minutes left in the timer. Monster missions work in the same way. The timer starts when you get the mission. If you fail or quit the mission then this timer is erased and you don't have to wait, if you succeed it stays.

There is separate timer like 2-5 minutes for the quest giver to give missions after quiting nothing to do with this one, just to prevent too many instances being created and the server crashing.

So I was lucky to be bugged that day. A few days actually because there were no timers then. Oh well.

Yeah, they would have been bugged. The lockouts are there to prevent people from being able to farm to much and flood the market with both crystals and drake scales too quickly.

All DoN missions had a lockout in place shortly after the expansion came out. Once the devs realized how quickly you could do creator, drakes, etc they put them in immediately. This was years ago.
