Stack offense and defense protocols with Arborstone resting

[Hotride.2187]

The Arborstone resting mechanic is fine while you are leveling up masteries, but after that there is not much point to using it. In addition, logging out at Arborstone means you must teleport to somewhere else in order to stack up on offense and defense protocols.

It would be great if Arborstone as a hub would have a charging station and offense+defense protocols to stack up. Maybe gate it behind the maxed out mastery, if for some reason this would be "too strong" for players "new" to EoD. Or better, that the protocols would get stocked up to 1 or 2 hours after getting the resting bonus.

Considering that you can now take the protocols anywhere in open world, it would be good to have some extra convenience.

You do realize there's an Offensive Protocol and Defensive Protocol just outside the south-east entrance of Arborstone? Mount up on a Raptor and 2 leaps, you're there. You can easily get 4 charges at the zipline right where you map in. Go outside where there's another zipline and 2 jade batteries ( one just above the wall on the left). That's easily 1 1/2 hour of Offensive and Defensive overcharge, which will just take a couple of minutes.

Or if you really want to max out the overcharges, soon as the power charges are empty, just jump back into Arborstone and right back out. Anytime you travel through the gate portal, the zipline and jade batteries will be recharged. Do it as many time as you need to max it out to the 2 hr 15 mins.

easiest way I've found is go to the substations/labs in kaineng city, they have both usually close outside with charge stations inside with unlimited charges, so doesn't take too long, i agree though the resting being kind of pointless after all the masteries are done.

It's not convenient though. None of them are close to WPs. Only time it's easy is if you're doing the meta or farming near the area. Also, as OP stated, that'll require teleporting. Still think easiest is the method I mentioned above if you're in Arborstone. Using the zipline to get 4 charges, just use and soon as you have 4 charges, drop down by pressing any mount keybind and glide to the protocols. Fastet method to get from 0 to full overcharges for both.

north substation is close to the wp for the jade bot heart, ride a zipline up from there and drop down to the protocols right out side the substation and then charge/get protocols repeat til you are at max time, takes less than 5 minutes for max.

I think Canthans are kinda weird for building them in such random locations separate from each other instead of placing them next to each other. So inefficient.
