Gathering Tents for Fieldcrafts for "Rest EXP" Bonus

[Geabrielle]

I actually have a suggestion to the development folks about the resting exp and gathering jobs. I was wondering if implementing Tents for the DoL crafts would be a viable thing. They could be based off the scroll formulas for the calculation of gathering job specific resting exp ... because running all the way to town to gain rested exp after chocoboing/teleporting way out to the insanely far grade 3 + areas is annoying. The tents could be tied to like a level 30 guild quest, be unique/untradable and be called like Angler's Tent, Miner's Pavillion and Harvester's Bedroll .. or something like that. Also, make this contingent upon logging out of the game as well to keep from abuse.
Or if that's too much give them a 3hr, 25% exp bonus with a 6hr cool down ... or something. Just a suggestion, that came to me while I was hauling around the Tranquil paths and such....

Well they announced that they're going to have two home points.

I'm not sure how much of a help it will be for your particular gathering but you can set your home point at the inn of your town of choice and then Choco to where you want to gather and set your homepoint where you want to go gather after you get your rested SP bonus and just hit return when you log in later. So I think it's good for Hiir.

I suppose so, but there's tents in just about every other final fantasy game for fieldsave or some such. figured it'd be a good suggestion

I like the idea of having something out in the field to get rested EXP, even if it's slower, or less effective than the inn room/housing that will be added. Only problem is, space. The zones are going to be seperated, and you'd be seeing quite a few of these in some areas. Having it would be nice, but hard to see how it could be made to work.

Please keep in mind, I'm not shooting down the idea, I like it as well. Just need to find a way to make it work.

To be honest Tranquils' Path isn't that far a destination and if you are having issues with traveling to an area and back just to gain rested xp you might not be using everything to it's full potential.

As a gatherer you should take advantage of setting certain area for "favored location" or make use of the return feature when needed. If you are really cramped on time then either set your HP in Gridi or Tranquil Path. If you Set HP in TP then you only need to spend 2 anima to go back to town to rest for the night since the only time you would need to go back to the inn is if you are logging out. Then upon logging back on just use return to return to TP and continue where you left off.

I mean if you think TP is far then don't even think about gathering in Iron lake lol. TP is sucha straight shot from town and with chocoback it prolly takes 5 minutes to get there. Is 5 minutes heading back to town really so troublesome that you would need a tent function just to take advantage of rested xp?

It's just an odd request, rather then your suggestion just look at the abilities around you and make the most to save time lol.

I actually think this is the best proposal for a tent in an FF MMORPG that I've ever heard of. Obviously needs some further tweaks and thought, but nice idea.

I think it would be lovely to have a tent to camp out in (even if we get no bonus/xp). I am often out adventuring in far distant lands (some places very hard to get due to all the big scary mobs). And rather than just hiding in the bush or behind a tree I would not mind my own little camp.

[Ulric]

I agree. That's mostly why I'd want it, just a little place of your own to hang out in while out in the world, even with no bonus for it. Suppose we'll just have to wait and see, eh?

It's been a few days, but thanks for the time to reply.

As for favored locations and such, I'm well aware of their usage and what rested EXP can be 'saved' for, if I had any chance to use it for gathering jobs. My typical game time is usually insta-kidnap via friends for leves or exp-parties so I can't use it for gathering at this current time.

The idea was proposed for areas beyond Tranquil and such that aren't near a camp or a town area. Also, anima is a commodity when expend for other travels doing the Ifrit fights or Moogle and soon Garuda. I just thought the tent thing would be a decent proposal for those of us who like to chill out in the far way outdoor areas and save or returns for when we need to get back to town.
