If you do 2 sets of buffs do you get 5hrs or does the time stack to 10h?

Not sure if there’s anything official but this was in another thread.

> Different monolith timers don’t stack, so the max for the buffs is 5 hours.

Each set has its own timer.

By the time you get the second monolith to level 5, you probably have 4 hours 55 minutes or so, because it starts from as soon as you finish the first challenge, but yeah, each monolith has it’s own timer and counts down from the moment you finish the first challenge level. Completing the next level of challenge adds one hour, but doesn’t extend the original timer, meaning if you win the first level then wait 30 mins, then win the second level, you’ll then have 1 hour 30 left, not 2 hours.  
So, it’s best to get to level 5 as fast as possible in all the monoliths you want, then start playing PvP battles.
