# How Blue Orbs work: 1 minute per orb

Explains that right-clicking a Blue Orb from the inventory only grants a 1-minute buff, which is why the orbs must be placed on the hotbar. The system grants 240 orbs because 240 minutes equals the advertised 4 hours of buff time.

Valid 1 is correct. if you right click the item from your inventory, it only gives you the buff for 1 minute, that is why you put it into the hotbars.

And this is also why the system sends you x240 ORBS instead of 1 because 240 Minutes = 4hrs.
