Okay, I am still not exactly sure how it happens, but this is how it happened to me frequently.
I usually use my rat totem because of its power regen during crafting. I have my illusion on. When i craft (doesn't matter what) usually when I zone out of TS zone to my room by bank or different zone then back before totem buff fades, my totem recharges by 1. Example...
Totem charge 4/5
Uste Totem
Totem charge 3/5
Craft a while...
Zone out of TS zone
Zone to my room
Zone back to TS zone
Continue crafting a while...
Totem buff fades...
Totem Charge 4/5
Not sure when it happens or what makes it recharge, but hey, I have used it as much as 10 totem. True its cheap but hey, silver adds up if you don't buy em
