YES IT IS, at least on an iPad. I TT with talismans all the time. I’ve had the Viking helmet, ruby crystal, seeker’s Star, magic folio, theater glasses, shot of vigor, gold ingot, and the artifact that gives you a 50% increased chance of finding the diagram and winding key running for days now even though some are only good for an hour. All you need to do is make sure you exit the game entirely when not playing. You can even let the date go back to being automatically set AFTER you’ve exited the game. Then, when you’re ready to play, just reset the date and time to at least two minutes after the time you first activated the talismans. For instance, I activate all the talismans I want to work with, noting the date and time that they were activated, then as I play, I set a timer for 50 minutes if I’ve got hour-long talismans in the mix (it’s easy to lose track of how much longer the talismans are active and that way I don’t have to keep scrolling to check). When the alarm goes off, I reset the date and time back to a minute or two after I activated the talismans. Play, play, play, repeat. When I’m done playing, I reset the talismans, exit the game (double click home and close — don’t just minimize), and reset the date and time to “automatic” and go on about my business. I can either continue to use my iPad as long as I don’t touch the game while it’s set to the actual date and time, or turn it off or leave in standby. Then, when I’m ready to play again, I immmediately change the date and time back to when the talismans were activated before opening the game and they’re fine. Even if it’s been over a day, they’re all still there and can keep being reset. What you cannot do is TT back to before you activated the talismans without losing them, or allow your date and time to progress beyond the window for the talismans. Therefore, there are some restrictions. The first is that you cannot collect more energy, XP, or any other trophy item until you’re ready to let the talismans go (but if you’re using the shot of vigor, energy isn’t a problem anyhow, although in theory access passes can be). You also cannot craft anything that takes longer than the time you have for your shortest activated talisman. Those are really the only limits that I’ve found. When you’re done with the talismans because you either need more trophy items or need to craft longer-duration items (like special event stuff). I also find TTing incredibly useful for crafting the 10-hour talismans without any wait. I order, advance a day, collect, and go back a day to reorder more, repeat. I can only speak to doing this on an iPad Air. That said, it’s completely changed the game for me. I’d also note that I play entirely solo — I haven’t even activated the friends feature because I really do t understand it (I’ll read up another time). Thus, I cannot speak to the effect my manner of keeping talismans alive for days, weeks, or months on gifting or allowing people to visit you. Hope this helps.
