EXP bonus UI

[GreyJorildyn]

Unless the MMO environment changes and something big happens to modify the way the genre is currently played, "original" ideas cannot surface. It's all been done before. Until something shakes up this genre, it will remain stagnant. Unfortunately I don't think XIV is going to break the mold and instead seems to be trying its best to fit itself into it nicely. At least that will draw players to the game, and that's the most important thing SE needs to do right now anyway.

SO I WILL ASK AGAIN

Why do we need rested exp?
"The effect of eating ingredient items (such as raw meat and fish, fruits, and other unprocessed foods) will be changed. Eating such items will only grant an experience point bonus."

8 hrs of sleep and a well balanced breakfast are important for a growing body! Can't just eat eat eat and not sleep, can you?

I think the exp bonus for food is to make it more relevant to general play in the game. It's a minor increase, but its also enough to make people feel like they are missing out if they don't have food while leveling.

The rested EXP is just another way of closing the gap between casual and hardcore players. Like, FFXI's exp rings, Guardian's Favor, and the Fatigue system, it allows those who don't have much time to play to catch up to those who play constantly.

Also, I don't recall where I read this, but doesn't the rested EXP only work with guildleves?

If so, I don't know why anyone would be against it.. Its just the Guardian's Favor automated.

While this bonus will not be applied to quests and leve rewards, it will be applied to experience points earned during leves and crafting normally. When the bonus is saved up, the experience points you earn will be increased more than if you could not use guardian’s aspect. We will be introducing the specifics on the rest bonus on Topics soon.

Nopers, I think you have it backwards.

You read it wrong D:

If there is no gap or hardly any between the hardcore and casuals.... that is stupid, I wanna see those BA guys running around not everyone be just above normal and normal. God, I'm like breaking right now.

But I can see where zan still has a point, it applies to the per kill xp in a leve (if that matters much, ymmv)

[syntaxlies]

between the current high xp gains rested xp food giving xp everyone should have no problem hitting 50 in 20 mins. But can people get all 50's in one day, thats the ?
