Kingfury,

This is a well thought. Man, this sounds like something that should have been available sooner! lol. Awesome idea bro!.

I was telling my wife about the idea, and she said it would be nice to have the vendors in the gym to offer food/drinks or "Supplements" that help aid in skill ups. Just like how you in real life to get the results that you want. The medicated effects should only last for sometime, but should be able to be removed upon exiting the gym and/or while in the gym.

------
Yep ^^ "Gym points" and "Medals" would take care of just that!:
"Gym points called "tokens" (these accumulate to be used to purchase key items called "Medals" which offer redeemable items and benefits that enhance regimen performance),-- "acquiring certain Self Improvement "Medals" could drastically improve regimen results since they will be designed to enhance certain aspects of a players performance, like the rate of which skill ups occur, enhanced attack speeds, rapid refresh, and more, while undertaking training regimens."
----
So with Gym points alone, a player would be able to purchase weaker buffs such as food/drinks(refresh)/etc., or pretty much all the buffs you can purchase currently using the Fields of Valor system. With Medals, a player would see the really good stuff such as the increased skill up rate, increased att speed, super refresh, and more And yep, everything would wear off upon exiting the Gym zone.

Thanks for the feedback, you and your wife ^^/

I like the Melee Skill ups picture because it looks like a miniature Babe Ruth homerun swing. Kind of fits the bill, too, because staff skill ups are so sloooow and sometimes you wish you could just swing for the fence on the monster and send it back from whence it came. The taru's facial expression says it all.

Lol Glad you like the sketch ^^/ It has always been pure entertainment for me to watch a tarutaru's melee animations lol Thanks for the post /salute

I like the "gym" idea but I would have to admit that they USED to have a very easy way to skill up and was actually not as dangerous as you would think... If people would engage in Campaign battles already in progress without getting tags you could skill up off of mobs that were busy attacking other people. And pretty fast I might add. I have a WHM I got Divine skilled very very fast. At Least .5 per every other spell cast. Then Enix took it away. I was very upset. I think they should reinstate that.... I think I only died 2 times using this form of skilling up...and with EXP so easy to get now thats not too bad really

I think this is a fantastic idea and seems really fun. I could see me and 5 of my friends sitting in windy waiting to go to the gym and work out lol. When I saw this tweet i actually thought SE released this info for their next version update. Great idea, fun, lots of rewards and great for team building in your linkshells. SE why not?
