Yes, it is a single-use item.

Is there a cap on the level of mason necklace?

That is for me to know and you to deduce by way of elementary googling.

If you, let's say, get up for work at 8am, need 1-1,5h to get ready and get to work and spend there 8h, you can synch your alts to pick orders at 8:00, this way you can pick two every day and have enough time to play on the character.

There will be "minute creep" always, unless the timer is a bit shorter than 12 hours.

i collect now 2 times per day... but if my alts must timeplay ... isn't possible... 23:00 go sleep 6:00 wake up -> 40minutes travel bus, 8h in work.. 15:00 out -> 16:00 in house ... repeat

That means you are away for a little less than 9,5h. That means you can get enough playtime on 4-5 alts per account. If server crashes or little delays screwed up your order picking time, you can always skip one and get them back on track.
What I am trying to say here is in the end making it 10-11 hours won't make much difference, if any.

Lol, even JC is a little paranoid thanks to Salem's dynamics. Thanks for the updates JC!

Trade Order requires: 12 Iron
they give 2 ious

and exist more easy what give 3 ious... and cost less
mean i ask, you will balance this ? or you leave ?

next question: can you less time wait for take order ? mean, not 12h but example 11h or 10h ?
because it's hard take perfect two order per day... one-two hour for preparation, nothing change much, but more easy take "radom" trade

Yes I don't mind the idea of decreasing to 11 hours now that there is 'some' play requirement inbetween gatherings. Also I don't mind balancing the trade orders. But it is quite difficult as you need to look beyond the 'mat balance' given that I expected the order itself to have some value. For example I imagine that Heffernan is willing to still turn in the 12 iron bars for 2 Tokens simply because I imagine at this point he has 1 billion iron bars and would prefer tokens over them. So what might be trash for one player or of lesser value might still have a market value for another. If a TO loses all market value because literally nobody will turn it in I'll turn on logging data for them. If the entire server boycotts a trade order for some number of weeks then I would argue it certainly needs adjustment.

There I just pushed the change. The bad news is the server might crash while I am traveling. The good news is that if/when it does when it does get restored I have already pushed the trade orders down to 11 hours. This gives you guys a bit of wiggle room if your late and/or like the idea of a hard schedule.
