Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The gift timeout is the period during which you cannot receive any more gifts from your current god, until you gain more piety.

Useful Info

Your gift timeout increases whenever you get a god gift; the duration depends on the god. It decreases by 1 for every point of piety you gain.

For certain gods, having a gift timeout reduces your piety gain. For these gods, if you gain piety with a timeout, there's a 75% chance that you don't actually get piety - i.e., the piety is only used for reducing the timer.[1] Not all gifting gods have this penalty.

Once timeout = 0, there is a chance, when gaining piety, to get a gift. This chance depends on the god. Afterwards, the timeout resets.

Wearing an amulet of faith increases your piety gain by +25%, speeding up the timeout by that amount. It also increases the chance you get a gift once timeout = 0 by 33%.

Gods

Gods which grant gifts based on the gift timeout method include:

The following gods do not have the 75% piety penalty:

Beogh and The Shining One can gift ally blessings (gear, healing, new orcs for Beogh; healing/summon duration for TSO) when you gain piety, but these don't use Gift Timeout. Xom's gifts are random, and do not follow timeout.
