Rested XP while servers are down?

We apologize for the delay but we have some information about rested bonuses to share.

When ARR launches, rested bonuses will be reset so you won't need to log out in your inn before the final maintenance. In addition, there will be more areas outside of inns that you can gain your rested bonus such as near aetherytes! Isn't that convenient?

There goes any ideas of getting a bigger headstart on lvling arcanist that others lol

Darn, looks like they are scrapping the built up rested bonus of everyone who's got a LV 900 character

EDIT: Obviously everyone else too >_>" but just saying we can't use ours lol~

Why would you think that? You don't get rested exp when logged on, only when logged off so it doesn't matter.

You do get rested xp while logged on, you just have to be in the inn room. I rarely log out and still get rested xp for just standing in my room.

In XI you could craft in mog house. I did alot of my crafting in there either for simple peace and quiet or in my more newb days I had believed that crafting in the mog house was the only way to get moghancemnets to work.

No moghancements were passive traits applied to you so they worked anywhere, for example Moghancement: Experience, Fishing and Money obviously would do nothing if you needed to be in your Mog House for them to even function.

Yeah I was kicking myself when I heard this; been building it up for a while now :<

Will we be able to craft there? I was under the impression that crafting in inns was restricted to keep people from consuming rested EXP as it generated, thereby exploiting a loophole. If that's the case, we can expect these rested areas to be packed with crafters. Even well-built servers have their limits.

It generates painfully slow, hardly possible to 'exploit' it.

It's not hard to apply a 10 minutes cooldown before any rested EXP starts to be earned... Actually that's how it works on XIV. You only start accumulating rested EXP after staying for a little while in your room, it doesn't come straight away.

So if someone would be crafting in his room, he would have to wait ~10min+ between each attempt in order to receive rested EXP. Which makes it impossible to really exploit.

Sorta related, will anima be reset to 0 as well, since we are losing aethecite bindings on ARR launch?

Everyone, existing and new, will mostly likely have 100 anima at the start of play.
