Keep one charge, simple cmon!
Mmm ok
Not having encountered something like this ... if the item is locked down, does the timer still make it go >POOF< when it's gone?
But they have limited uses.
True but if you claim a cauldron and let it sit for over 24 hours with out using any charges it will go poof I believe. I would prefer they went to like the runic hammer system instead of the current system.
Simple fix: DO NOT claim any BOD reward with a timer until you have the MAX resources to use it before it times out. It is called Time Management or better yet you can use something like this it is called

You wont win this argument with @Lord Frodo , so stop trying. 
Maybe these timer works for people who play a lot. Contrary to Frodo's derogatory comment that it takes mental faculties to work this out, the concept is simple. Claim it and use it when you know you have the time.
But for people like me that play a total of 2 hours a week, sometimes in little 20 minutes spurts, it's more complex than that. One day I might get a nice LBOD. The next day I turn it in, and the best reward is a talisman that will expire in 24 hours. So I have to decide if sometime in the next 24 hours I'll get 1500 verite ore, which I won't. So I either store the BOD for another day (and I already have enough of these "another day" project).. Or I lowball the reward and pick some powder of fortification that won't expire.. Or like last time, I picked it not knowing yet how the time worked, got minimal return on my reward before it expired.
I'd enjoy it a lot more if I could get my verite map. The next day go locate the ore and mark a rune, the day after that go dig it up. Or just say, oh well, just give up BODs, I just want to play a little and this takes more micro-management than I'm willing to give it. I get a lot more bang for the buck by 20 minutes hunting a greater dragon or two and just harvest a little gold and hides. And a lot less micro-management without worry of some stupid timer that will expire.
So I understand the time management aspect. I just don't like the artificial sense of urgency to complete use up a reward within a certain time frame. It's the same reason I haven't attempted any of the dungeons that require keys with timers, that game wasn't aimed at players like me. And I'm ok with that. But crafting *is* aimed at players like me, or at least it was before crafting reward timers were introduced.
Bah. Humbug.

Would be great if the Devs could make these toggle into deco mode like plants.
Would be even better if players stop being obsessed with decos and pixels
Some men you just can't reach. Quality movie - Paul Newman at his best. The dude that delivered that speech in the film won an Oscar I thinkWhat we have here is a failure to communicate
