Resting in Chair

“

You are resting to gain a small boost to experience when the time expires.

— In-game description

Resting in Chair is an effect that is applied when sitting in a novelty type chair and grants A Little Well Rested (+5% experience bonus) after resting for 5 minutes.

Mechanics[edit]

This effect is received when sitting on a chair while not already having any Resting effects from Arborstone or The Wizard's Tower.
The effect lasts for 5 minutes.
After resting in a chair for 5 consecutive minutes without dismounting, the character receives A Little Well Rested (+5% XP bonus) effect for 1 hour.
- This effect is granted to all players regardless of masteries trained or expansions owned.
Sitting in a chair with a character that already has any Resting effect from Arborstone or The Wizard's Tower extends the duration by 80 seconds every 10 seconds, up to 4 hours (14 400 seconds).
- This also includes the effect given by the chair itself, since it is also the first tier of the Arborstone resting effects.
- It takes a total of about 31 minutes to stack the effect to the maximum 4 hours: 5 minutes of initial Resting in Chair and 26 minutes of gaining A Little Well Rested.

Sitting in a chair does not extend the resting effects of Homesteads, and instead gives Resting in Chair, but when the effect ends the Arborstone effect will not be granted.
There are cases where Resting in Chair will still be received when interacting with the Portable Hot Springs Chair when all possible sitting slots are already filled. This anomaly may have fixed as of February 2025.
