We know a lot of new travel features will be added to XIV in the future, At the minimum Chocobo's and Airships, and yeah theres rumors of Carts and Ships as well.

But what about people who are already deep in adventure and away from home?


Well thats where the Beaten Path status comes into effect.


While traveling on a Established Road (Marked on Map, Paved in world.) After taking approximately 10 steps without going off path you'd recieve the Beaten Path status bonus.

While under this status you gain an increase in speed as long as you maintain the Movement on the road.

If you stop running, or leave the path it will wear off after 10 steps (or the time it would have taken for 10 steps if you just stopped moving.)

Also while under this traveling status your health regeneration rate increases.

Yay new ideas!
