Block time

Block time is the time from when a zone is taken or revisited by a player until another player can take the zone. New turfers block a zone for ten minutes. At most, a zone can be blocked for twentyfive minutes (of a turfer with rank 60).

The higher the rank, the longer the block time. For your block time, see table here.

Revisit

For revisits, the block time is static at 5 minutes, regardless of rank.
