Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks How often should I (long) rest?

Given that I play spell-casters with limited spell slots, I cannot possibly imagine this game in terms of "number of long rests per Act." It would be in the dozens to hundreds is my assumption. I long rest every time I run out of spell slots, unless there's a time-sensitive quest active.

If you're not playing a class with a limited resource, you should definitely long rest frequently until nobody in camp gives you any new dialogue. Then advance the storyline until people start giving new dialogue again.
