Charging the Beguile/Placate Day Job Power?

Hmm. Well, I have a full set of charges on my Defender...so it's definitely working. However, the one thing I can think of is...how long have you been staying offline?
If you don't stay offline long enough to get a charge, the timer on it resets. And I don't know what the timer is for this power, but it *might* be 24 hours. So, were you logged off for 3 days straight, or did you log back in several times to see if you had a charge?
It was at least two days in Pocket D. It may have been less than a day at the tailor. I will try it again and see. Glad to know it is not a known issue and only user error.
Thanks for the tip!
...weird. Where were you logging out in Pocket D? The only other possibility I can think of is that you logged out somewhere that counts for a different badge, like the hospital or vault.
If you try it again, and it doesn't work, I'd /bug it. It's been a while since I got mine charged, so it might have accidentally gotten broken since then.
And you're welcome.

By the way, this was tested and proven to be incorrect, as time logged off is kept track of and NOT reset. There is no minimum amount of time before time is recorded.|

With Day Jobs, you're better off leaving it for a week rather than a few days. It takes a while to kick in.

...that's very strange. My main was working on getting Crafting Discounts from the Entrepreneur accolade. I logged her in every day for a week, and didn't get a single coupon...but when I left her logged out for two full days, she finally had two coupons.

How long ago was that? It's possible that they recently improved it, as Lavitae pointed out in the linked thread. I've gone ahead and tested it since then with the day job powers web grenade, fragmentation grenade and revive ally power and they were accrueing time even if I had logged in a few times within 24 hours.|

My off-handed guess is that it charges like 10 per week or something once you have the basic accolade. This is as guess as I alt jump so much and have so many characters, but it seem right. I don't ever seem to have 3 or 7 charges unless I used some. I always start with having 10 or 15 or whatever per Day Job power.|

I have spent two to three days logged off in Pocket D and at the tailor since receiving the accolade, but I don't see the power in my list. I am probably missing something obvious, but I am stumped. Any help will be much appreciated. |
Your levels at a day job improve after getting a badge that can help recharge things faster. This especially is evident in the Market Teleporter which will recharge faster as you get to the advanced levels of the Day Job badge - or at least it used to.

Probably 6 months ago? I dunno. If you tested it semi-recently, you're probably right, and they fixed it.

Mine seems to be charging fine, but then I have alot of alts so each one can get a decent about of "downtime".
It was user error, I'm ashamed to say. I was parking my toon near the blue side elevator in Pocket D...but too close to the Vault Reserve.
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks to all who responded.

It may be that not all Day Job powers are accruing time properly. I've been working on Field Crafter for the last couple weeks on one of my toons, leaving them logged off in King's Row WW and logging on once or twice a day. |

This whole time my WW teleporter has remained at 8 uses.
@Doctor Gemini
Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
Perhaps my memory is failing, but I thought the max number of charges on the Day Trader Teleporter was 8 charges.
Edit: Just found something else out at ParagonWki:
"NOTE: A character can have Day Trader Teleporter and Enhanced Day Trader Teleporter at the same time, though once the badge has been obtained, it is impossible to obtain further charges on the standard Day Trader Teleporter. Additionally, using either of these powers disables all Consignment House teleportation powers during the cooldown, including the purchasable Market Teleporter temporary power."
Have you earned the Enhanced Day Trader Teleporter?
Day Trader max charges is 10. Enhanced Day Trader max charges is 10. You no longer earn charges on the Day Trader power after earning the Day Trader day job badge (and thus the Enhanced Day Trader power).
