The '''Gift Timeout''' is the period during which you cannot receive any more [[gift]]s from your current [[god]]. It begins the turn you receive a gift, and decreases every time you gain [[piety]] (this piety is only applied toward ending the gift timeout). The exact duration of this period varies from god to god. Gods that grant both weapon and ammo gifts will also have a shorter timeout for the ammo than for the weapons.

Version 0.30: 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.

Useful Info

Your Gift Timeout increases whenever you get a god gift; the duration depends on the god. Whenever you gain piety, it decreases.

For certain gods, having a Gift Timeout reduces your piety gain. If you gain piety with Gift 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 Gift Timeout = 0, there is a chance, when gaining piety, to get a gift. 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 have the Gift Tiemout system, but 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. Vehumet grants gifts using a different system. Xom's gifts are random, and do not follow timeout.
