Ok, so i used 2 of the 3 remaps i got when starting. It has been a years since my last remap. So the question is id i use my last remap, will i have another pop up right away, or will i have to wait a year, till the next one. The reason i ask is i have 80 or so days on my current que but want to remap so i can cut it down(percption, willpower). Then remap so i can train my fitting skills again.( intelligence, memory)

Wait... I was supposed to bring sexy back?!?!

You are mixing 2 things up, you used up 2 of your Bonus remaps

You ALWAYS have a yearly remap. So if you remap now (20 March 2016) your next normal remap can be done on 20 March 2017 or later. You will NEVER loose a remap if you stick to the yearly remap counters.

The BONUS remaps are exactly that, a BONUS, which is used up when you remap when your timer mentioned above (1 year) hasn't passed yet.

Bonus remaps, when used are gone. You get 3, use them wisely. Once your bonus remap count goes to 0, you are stuck with your current remap for 1 year.

Ok, i was going off info from evanova. It states that my last timed remap was Feb 2015. But if your saying that the bonus remaps are used before the timed, i will wait untill my current que is completed. Then i will remap for different attributes.

The yearly remap (if one is available) is ALWAYS the first to be used so if you have used 2 remaps you should still have one of your bonus remaps left (you get 2 bonus remaps as a new character). If you still have a bonus remap left it should say so on your attribute window ingame.

I can add that I personally wouldn´t waste a bonus remap on a queue that's 'only' 80 days long since it's unlikely that it will make enough of a difference to warrant the change.

So, your last remap was in Feb 2015, which means from Feb 2016 onward (aka now) you can remap without using a Bonus map.

It's pretty simple:


Have you remapped more then 1 year ago?

If Yes > You can remap again without using up a bonus remap (general remaps are ALWAYS prioritized over bonus when possible).


If No > You will have to use up one of your bonus remaps to remap before your year has passed.



And actually it will say so in text if you can remaps now or are still on the yearly timer.

If your character sheet says "Remap available: NOW" then it will use your yearly remap.

Once you use your yearly for this year, it will say "Remap available: 2017-03-20" so if you want to remap again before that date, it will use your last bonus remap.

After you use that, if you try to remap again, it will say "Sorry you have to wait until 2017-03-20."

There are two types of remaps: annual, and bonus. Annual is always used first, and is available one year after being used. Bonus remaps are only usable if the annual remap is not available, and once gone they are not replaced.

The annual remap does not accumulate, so use it or lose it! I try to remap every year.

Bonus remaps are EXTREMELY VALUABLE so don't use them without at least 6 months of training planned. Personally, I'd save them for later. [I still have 4 after over 7 years.]

You have skill injectors now, why would to worry about remaps anyway?
