Can you change the effect on the friendship circlet to level 50 or less?

So I did the recruit a friend thing cause I thought the friendship circlet would be useful in the future for levelling new jobs (when I recruited my friend I was already 50 everything).

Now with the announcement that jobs are going to start at 30, the circlet is pretty much redundant to me since it only works up to level 25... So could you please change the effect to be a 20% exp boost up to level 50 so the circlet can stay relevant into future content?

Nah, we'll be fine with it staying the way it is (I have one too) :) It's mostly to help new players out by helping them catch up a little. There will be plenty of quests, beastman dailies, fates, hunting logs, challenge logs, dungeons, FC buffs, food, etc to help get us our levels fast enough as it is :) Just imo.

As for relevance, I love the way it looks, so I tend to glamour mine a lot.

Someone just posted a thread with almost this exact same suggestion last night...

Agreed, it is a beginners item and later a lovely vanity item.
Leveling is already very fast.

Yea, it's kinda selfish to think of the circlet as something that should benefit you more because it means you are missing the point of it entirely.

The Circlet is given to both the new player and current player in an instance in which both may have a job at lv 1 they both want to level. Rather than just give the xp perk to the new player and causing a 25% xp gain to accumulate over time they give the circlet to both players so that they can reach 25 at about the same time. While yes the current player may have rested xp and xp boost from having a job at 50 already, the new player has quest which they can use to balance the amount of xp they get compared to the current player.

By the time my referral paid, I was > 25 in the jobs I bothered enough to want to level, and he's almost 40 now in the only job he wants to do.

Pointless item. WoW's system links accounts for 3 months. Level together and get bonus xp. No item and no payment requirements.

Well see, you're saying things like "in the jobs I bothered enough to want to level" and "the only job he wants to do."
You'll soon come to realize the benefit of having everything to 50 (and assumingly in two weeks from now, 60) where the circlet will come in handy. This is more on your friend than you as a single class alone won't get very far in terms of job stones, cross class abilities, and the general idea of how other classes work.

So in your situation, it sounds like the circlet still has some use for you.

Also, without doubt there will come new promotional items with experience bonuses.... Not necessarily right away (though I suspect at least one of the headgears released with preorder/collector's edition has exp bonus perk), but there will be more ^^

It'd be nice if they bumped it up to level 40 for the expansion Jobs to get some use out of.

it's to help new players so no

New players will need to level the expansion Jobs too once unlocked.

Doesn't hurt to help everybody a tiny bit.

Considering it takes maybe a day to get to the point where you need to unlock another class....

The *only* thing I'd need for my bard if I keep it there(probably switching when I get to HW to AST but eh) is Blood for Blood. My Lancer is 22. Already almost too old for it. I already have the useful stuff from Pugilist.

Working Thaumaturge now to 26 for Swiftcast. Conj is 30, Arcanist is 34. As I've complained about in a few threads now, no only are certain jobs limited to certain classes for cross class skills, the selection of which is incredibly limited. You have most all of what you need super early, and everyone takes the EXACT. SAME. SKILLS. There's no room for choice anywhere.


He's a Dragoon. It took him an afternoon to get Marauder to 15, it'll take him another afternoon to get I think it was Pugilist he uses? to think it's 12 Internal Release and Second Wind, and then he's done.

You don't get the item until they've paid for their first month. It's greatly outlived it's usefulness by then, especially with the 30 days free. Getting to 25 in all jobs before that 30 days is up is *not* unfeasible, especially when you have no intention to level more than one Job.

This man isn't an alt person. He picks a class and he stays with it regardless of how bad it sucks. He's not going to play anything *but* his Dragoon. I'll tell you that now.

My problem is less of the item's restrictions and more of when you get it. WoW's RAF bonuses apply the moment they create an account, not after it's been paid once. The mounts take a little while, but the xp bonuses are immediate.

I kinda gotta agree, making it so that it goes to 50 instead of 25 is a good idea. Why?

Because level 1-50 is officially "Old" content. It's no longer current, our new game is 50-60, and we should want to see people getting there as soon as possible. The climb from 1-50 is already a tredge enough as-is, there's no reason not to expedite it a little.

I know World of Warcraft has mechanics like this to help people get instantly leveled to the current expansion-related content, which I think is a very good idea. I'm not saying give the levels for free, but reducing the grind is a good idea considering the rate at whcih we actually learn to apply our skills.

Mantra is at 42, though admittedly it's a toss-up between taking that or Foresight.

He's not getting Mantra. *I* will not get Mantra. I have 0 like for the class and refuse to level it that far. Besides, if you have a monk, you want them doing it. Note, he's also not a raider, and isn't even remotely hardcore so it really doesn't matter. Not to mention that it has 0 effect on the topic at hand here, which is an item that's useless for any job once you pass level 25.
