Whats the point of a double xp weekend if it doesnt affect abyssea or gov?

The point is it makes EXPing otuside of abyssea more viable. It might not affect the EXP given by GOV itself but it still affects the exp from the monsters you're killing for the GoV pages.

Also note that because you're getting more EXP, you're also getting more conquest points or IS, as those are based on the EXP you earn. if you still have your EXP band from the anniversary, you'll get quad EXP (because the notice states that it stacks with that)

so... with double xp and supposed double effectiveness of rings... would that stack?

I think what they mean to say is "the double EXP effect stacks with the Dedication effect multiplicatively."

I heard about the double xp event that is coming up soon. My question is what the point of doing this if it doesnt affect the two most popular ways of xping?

Does SE really think people will go out of their way to just xp out of gov or abyssea to do this? Especially since its already incredibly fast to xp to 99?

The only people i can see this helping are those holdouts that just refuse to do gov or step into abyssea (theres a whole ls of them on bahamut so ive met a few)

Just curious.

the point is to bring people back to the old school fun partys and not just burn and leech the jobs from 1-99. like everyone does in abyssea/gov >.>

If it doesn't effect Abyssea? Do you really need faster exp in Abyssea?

I don't think they meant that. I think it's more like "Dedication from anniversary won't wear off at 3000 Xp gained, but 6000"

Only EXP that would be affected by EXP rings gets doubled, and I'm personally fine with that.

But what about skill ups?



/cough

I think the implication is for the player to raise their skill caps by leveling up. :\

Also, I'm actually really excited about this event myself. I was progressing on Missions for the time being, but it seems I'll be needing to put that on hold the weekend of February the 8th. This will be an excellent opportunity to progress on Magian Trials and level up my Adventuring Fellow, as well as skill up some under-leveled skills in the meantime.

Yeah, all 1-3 points per mob of it

Gather a few friends and do some pages in other areas (a la old(er) xp pt style). Double ISP and CP for my whm mule sounds pretty sick to me! And if your server has the kupopower for bonus CP too... o.O

It's to get people out in the world instead of being afk in some worm party or RMT FC... It's pretty obvious.

What's obvious is that enticing people with EXP that's still inferior to said worm parties or cleave groups probably won't work that well

Yes! It'd just be for a weekend. It wouldn't be the end of life as we know it.
