    [dev1301] Private Player Residences

    * The following changes are scheduled for the 1.21 patch release.
    * Features are under development and subject to change or postponement.

    With Patch 1.21, players will be able to access inn rooms, private areas for their own use, after completing certain quests.
    Inn quests

    In each city, players will be able to use an inn room after completing a quest issued by the NPC manning the front desk of the inn. Players must first complete the main quests listed below in order to accept an inn quest.

    City Quest
    Limsa Lominsa Treasures of the Main
    Gridania Souls Gone Wild
    Ul'dah Court in the Sands

     
    Inn functions

    Inns can be used free of charge, and provide the following functions:
    Replay event scenes
    In the inn, players may access a list of completed quests called the Records of a Journey (provisional name) from which they can replay event scenes as many times as they like. Event scenes can also be skipped.
    * When replaying event scenes, player characters are shown with their current equipment, rather than the equipment they were wearing when they first completed the quest.
    * Event scenes from inside raid dungeons and non-event scenes will not be viewable from the Records of a Journey (provisional name).

    Rested bonus (provisional name)
    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 will continue to accumulate up to a maximum limit.

    The accumulated bonus is visible on the EXP bar.

    When characters have accumulated sufficient rested bonus, they receive a boost to experience points received. The accumulated bonus decreases in proportion to the experience point bonus granted, and when it reaches zero the effect ceases.
    * 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.


    With the implementation of the rested bonus, Guardian's Aspect will be abolished and the experience points awarded in regional levequests will be adjusted. Players will receive more experience points than they do now when not under the effect of Guardian's Aspect. 

    In the current Patch 1.21, the inn rooms are simplified private areas, and players cannot synthesize, repair, or affix material while in them. (Such features are planned for inclusion in FFXIV Version 2.0's housing system.)

    * More features, such as login events, are planned for the future.

    Ohhh pretty neat.

    I like how they merged the XP band effect with being well rested and the CS replay.

    Right now I'm at a BC-ish fight in Gridania against a Greenwrath. It destroyed me in 3 hits... So I guess I need to level up a lot more (almost lvl 14 right now) before giving it another try. Will also need to level up crafts because there's not gear for sale in Gridania. Was fighting in lvl 1 gear for the most part.

    But seriously, they need add way more gear to npc shops, players aren't crafting anything to sell because it's just not worth it.

      The watching movies while in your room is something I've been harping about for XI for ages - preferably in the form of a projector or some kind of furnishing like that (needs moar interactive furnishings!).

      Glad to hear they are bumping up EXP on Regionals to compensate the loss of GA. So it sounds like with rested EXP + bumped up leve exp you'll be able to get more exp than before. Still, I can't help but feel I should sign up now and get back to grinding while I can still use GA - I've gotten as much as 1600 EXP on a single swing while mining/logging with GA + Sweat of Brow activating.

          What's wrong with hugging trees?

          I liked that storyline way more than the others. Although they really need a global AH system for stuff.

            Seems interesting. A bit mixed about looking the aspect though...

            I dont like the rested xp bonus as well. Mainly because I don't want to have to go into the inn every single time i log off to get it. There are times when i have to suddenly log off for a day or two..

                    Well, despite my desire to re-sub... it can't happen until after I close on my house, paint and move in... and likely not until my finances are all sorted out so I know where all my money is going. I wouldn't get much out of this upcoming month if I subbed right now. I'll wait until the next cycle and see where I'm at.

                      Likewise I'm starting work again next monday for the next 4 or 5 weeks (yay govt contracts @_@) so I dunno how much energy I'll have for XIV, much as I want to re-sub right freaking now. I'm also waiting for details on how the XI/XIV situation works.

                      ~. ~ money is good, but I'm not crazy about having to get up for 7~3 shifts or riding the damn buses again.
