Reservation

✍️This article is a stub. Please help improve the article by expanding it.

Reservation is a method of using a resource, typically spirit, to pay for an persistent effect, such as maintaining a permanent minion or buff.

Mechanics

When a resource is reserved, the reserved amount cannot be recovered, used to pay costs or as a defence, or otherwise provide its original function.

Reservation does not affect the maximum value of a resource, though it does affect the unreserved maximum value. A resource which is being reserved cannot be "full" (e.g. Full Life) unless the threshold is lowered below 100% of maximum resource (e.g. Idle HandsIdle Hands
Sectioned BracersEvasion: (72-83)Requires Level 28, 36 Dex(40-60)% increased Evasion Rating
+(60-100) to Accuracy Rating
+(5-10) to Intelligence
25% increased Attack Speed while on Full Mana
You count as on Full Mana while at 90% of maximum Mana or aboveThe devil finds work for idle hands.). Leech is removed by default once a resource is filled to its unreserved maximum; this is not the same as being at "Full Resource".

Persistent reservation effects do not deactivate on death.

Reservation efficiency

Reservation Efficiency is a modifier that affects the spirit reservation of spirit gems and some granted skills. All sources of #% increased/reduced Reservation Efficiency modifiers are summed before being applied to the calculation. It uses the following formula:

$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\text{Resource Reserved}}={\dfrac {\text{Base Reservation}}{1\ +{\dfrac {\text{Total Reservation Efficiency}}{100}}\ }}$

Example Reservations

Increased Reservation Efficiency	0%	25%	50%	75%	100%	150%	200%
30 Spirit	30	24	20	18	15	12	10
60 Spirit	60	48	40	35	30	24	20
100 Spirit	100	80	67	58	50	40	34

A reduced reservation efficiency of 100% or higher would cause skills to have infinite reservation, making the player unable to use any reservation skills.
