    A nice old fashioned pocket watch with an alarm timer linked to a glyph, when the glyph is used the watch will go Ting Ting Ting audibly to say 10 seconds left on the glyphs buff when the buff is about to run out, for example frenzy on your pet, fireflies on monster etc etc. 1 watch per glyph, and a choice of alarm sounds to tell which glyph is running out maybe a limit on 2 watches or no limit and a good selection of sounds to alert you on your glyphs.

    I think that is a visual rather than an audible the watch would give an audible note and a different one for different glyphs. plus i would prefer an in game item rather than more programs slowing my system down, but thank you for the info.

    I've used the Buff Monitor system for years, and it does not slow my system (being an IT person I would notice).
    Besides it is a Lua app, and SotA incorporates it straight into the game.

    Yes but it is only a visual not an audible warning your buff is running out. I wanted an audible warning different sound for each glyph maybe a limit on how many pocket watches you can have each with a different sound or 1 watch that can do 10 glyphs.

    10 different noises going off when glyphs run out? That sounds like a terrible idea honestly.
    We already have a perfectly good buff monitor system.
    How much more hand holding do you really need?
