a thing that bugs me and makes me wonder about rested exp

[Jinko]

What's that got to do with it ?

You are telling me that if you went to Natalan at 50 to SB you "require" XP pop ups and text to inform you of your progress ?

You could take the numbers away and you would still spiritbond, and you could look at your gear page to see what your progress is anyway.

It makes absolutely no difference if the XP is viewable or not.

Spiritbond still requires XP.

No it doesnt. originally it did, but they changed it to comparing the level of the gear to the level of the monster being killed. so if u want a ton of lvl1 materia u can kill lvl1 mobs and get no exp on a lvl50 job but still get decent SB for the low level gear your wearing.

This is true. Spiritbonding is per kill not per XP gained. You can tell when you go out farming the stronghold NMs, the adds give you no exp, but your spiritbond meter still rises.

I thought they changed it, so even less reason to show it at cap.

no, it doesn't affect the rested bonus. it's in the 1.21 patch notes.

oh okay thanks

Or an even easier solution would be to read the patch notes corresponding to the update it was implemented. (1.21)

yes, that's solid game design right there. Wanna know something about the game? Find when it was released and look up the notes. You have no idea how much I enjoy doing it when assigning attribute points. Its like having bonus content.

Lol. it isn't mentioned in game because...it's pretty obvious? idk...you're exp bar isn't colored at 50.
