once you reach level cap, xp goes toward rested

pretty self explanatory SUGGESTION, once you reach 80, doing things that get you xp like roulettes instead adds a % to your rested xp bar.

this allows for a player at cap to run things that their party/fc/static needs, but still give some kind of 'xp' benefit to when theyre playing other classes that doesnt preclude actually PLAYING those classes, it could also benefit very low level classes as those can burn through rested xp in 10 minutes and then you smack yourself cause your lvl 40 wouldve gotten much further on that rested xp and right now youre completely boned until the rested fills back up over a couple days

so like you could burn your rested, run your daily expert/8man/24man on your 80, and you have like 25% rested bar applied, and if you log off you accrue rested as usual

Rather elegant use of wasted exp, I definitely want something to happen to exp.

I have thought it could be fun to have a glamour sphere/crystarium/license board/grid that uses exp- allowing you to get special effects, emotes, other items, and unusual glamour restrictions unlocked (merit points that are for fun, you won't be disallowed from a group for not having "stone +5" and "raise cooldown -20"). In part just because I'd like to see a classic stereotypical FF 'progression' system in this game, even if it's more of a novelty lol, and because then we might get something like unlocking things that are not normally possible in our current systems like "Dark Knight Shadowy Void Effect Unlocked (from the trailers)".

Something would be nice :).

I love it when threads are presented like they are announcements of things actually being implemented into the game (something you would particularly expect to see in the impending release of a new expansion), but are really just suggestion threads.

Rested xp is a very intentional design decision to make it time-based, I don't think they'll change it

if i had a choice when to use it i wouldnt have any problem with it being time based only, but i have literally blown through a full rested bar in minutes before because i switched to a low level class to do something and that ate the whole thing, meanwhile i had like 3 other jobs that couldve used it more due to them being above 30 and not gaining the benefit of a bunch of xp buffs
