  • Replay event scenes
    In the inn, players may access a compendium called The Unending Journey which contains a list of completed quests. They can also select and replay event scenes from this list.
    
    
  • Rested Bonus
    When player characters enter an inn, they go into “resting mode,” accumulating a rested bonus as time passes. Even after players have logged out, the rested bonus continues to accumulate up to a maximum limit.
    
    
    
    
    When player characters are sufficiently rested, experience points earned through combat, synthesis, and gathering are increased by 50%.
    
    Players continue to benefit from the rested experience points boost until a certain amount of experience points have been earned. The time remaining on the rested bonus is indicated by the experience bar.
    • Green area: When the acquired experience points are within the green area, the experience point bonus continues to be applied.
      
      
      
      
    • Red area: If the green area exceeds the upper limit of the experience gauge, then the area turns red. This indicates that the rested bonus continues beyond the current level, at which point the upper limit is reset.
      
      
      
    * When playing with a level 50 class, the rested bonus does not decrease.
    * The bonus does not apply to experience points received as part of quest rewards or for completing levequests.

• [dev1134] In conjunction with the recipe overhaul (mentioned later in these notes), the requested items for several local levequests have been adjusted.
