I heared somewhere in EoTN (HoS) you are able to spamm these? Is this true? If so, where is this location exactly?

Thank you for your time!

I just reading about this on wiki so if you google this item on the wiki site it explains it some. I can't remember now myself but it was a couple of dungeons in EotN where it is somewhat helpful as I vaguely recall. (Maybe one of the Shards of Orr ones is one of them???).

You can use it anywhere outside an outpost apparently, just there are certain areas where it can be a bit more helpful.

@Gadd Fan: I think he was asking whether there was a place they could be used that would allow him to get around the 10 second delay, not the areas that they were (ab)used in. (Though why they added a delay rather than change the creature type is beyond me.)

Afaik, there isn't one. There's the Loose Magic effect in the Divinity Coast explorable but I haven't heard that it'll cancel the timer. With tonics it's possible to use two at a time if you click quickly enough; perhaps this is possible with gitb's too. In any case, running between two areas ought to be faster than waiting out the 10 seconds.

But since when has Ghost in the Box not been spammable? In Outposts and GHs anyway you can click away like crazy can't you? I always have. There is no 5 second delay on that one I know if, just tonics. So if his goal is to spam a lot of them to gain party points, do it in a town.

I agree he can't spam quickly in a dungeon. I just thought he was looking for a place where they had value outside of a town and just used the word "spam" wrong. :-)

Doesn't say anything about making a distinction between outposts and explorables, though I haven't popped any myself since then so I can't confirm.
