Rested EXP

1
Author Content Date
Really?

0.43% Rested EXP, logged off in town so basically getting 0.10% an hour of offline time, that what its supposed to be? That means if im offline for 24hours I'll get a rate increase for a whopping 2.4%, that can be gained even at high level in a matter of minutes.

Was it intended in that way or should things be a bit different than that?

Rested exp increases the more you have so for the first 5 hours you would get a little then 5-10 the rate of gain would increase. It's to balance out reward so the hardcore gamers will only get a small amount.

I think in total it can take 9 days offline to get the full 100% but you can see how it would scale the more your inactive/stood in town.

the rested xp is way to little to make a difference im not a hardcore player at all and i logged of after playing for a thew hours yesterday have logged on this morning and have just over 1% exp rested

so how is that an incentive to help casual players if you log off for an 8 hour period you should be getting at least 20% rested or more tbh

on another note

thanks for bring this amazing game back to life and spending your own time to get it right

thanks a bunch

Last thing you want to do is unbalance things by changing rested xp system, it was a big worry for alot of us been implemented at all, and it seams to be ok. I voiced my opinion quiet strongly about this so im sure i don't repeat it hear. that been said... it doesn't seam to be doing the game any harm. i wasn't even sure i would try somadev because of one or two things. But im glad to say this was something i was wrong about, it could have been implement wrong wildly unbalancing the game... but it wasnt and over time if you get 1% more than the hard core everyday or what ever it works out at thats still an advantage for your avg. joe. 20% a day for logging off for 8 hours would not work lol

This has probably been answered somewhere else but I couldn't find the post/info on it. Here is my question anyway.
Does the rested xp only effect the rate at which players gain xp or does it also apply to the rate at which players gain stats? Because if it's only the xp that's going faster then that would be counter productive (especially for devils) since you'd be gaining less stats per level against doing a non-rested level.

Just a concern

Yeah me too, Scale Raps isn't worth it at the moment but I decided to go there with 20% rested xp and gained stats alot faster than anywhere else.

If I have 50% rested, does it go down for every 1.0% I gain or is it a timer?

if you gain x% exp your rested depletes by the same value. You have free unlimited rested up to level 50. If you are in town your rested regenerates. The rate of regeneration decreases as your level increases. Ensure any time you log off that you do so in town.

Thanks, so in effect; 100% rested at say level 60 means an entire level of rested rates.

I've not logged on since Sunday mid day and have gained 70% rested. This is a huge boost for me who can only play weekends for a 8 hours over both days. If you're not gaining enough rested then maybe you're a bit more hardcore then the rested was aimed for.

I've never seen a problem with rested and the gms have got that balance spot on.

Correct and that remains true up to and including cap.
To regain 100% rested it takes approximately:
3 Days lvl 50-60
4 days lvl 60-70
up to a total of around 9 days in the late 90s.

Remember that your leveling rate will also slow down as your level increases. If you can afford to I'd suggest buying mats for crafting during your leveling days meaning that on days where you are gaining rested in town you can either A- Log off and live life. B- Craft while gaining rested in town.
Restocks happen at t1 as always however there are random restocks at varying times throughout the day. Check each time you warp for pots etc.

***it looks like I am contradicting the GM above due to the fact he has changed how rested is regained since that post - it is now quicker for lower levels***
