Server rates: EXP, capacity points and drops

guide · Server guide

Vanadreams runs at the standard pace for experience and item drops, with a few things kept faster or tougher. This is the Default mode everyone plays in. (Classic mode holds you to the standard experience rate as well; see Classic mode. Moogle Mode, with faster rates, is live; see Rates and modes in the server guide.)

Experience and Records of Eminence

What | Rate |
EXP and limit points from defeating monsters | standard |
EXP from quests, missions and other scripted rewards | standard |
Fields of Valor / Grounds of Valor page EXP | standard |
Tabs from Fields of Valor / Grounds of Valor pages | 20x |
Records of Eminence EXP and sparks of eminence | standard |
Unity accolades from Records of Eminence | 2x |

Capacity chains, Corsair's Roll, King Kupofried's aura, Capacity/Trizek/Endorsement/Facility/Vocation rings, gifts and the other capacity bonuses all stack on top of the 10x.

Drops and treasure

- Item drops from monsters are at the standard rate.
- About 1 in 2 regular monsters leaves a Treasure Casket. See Treasure Caskets.
- Bayld from quests, Reives and Coalition Assignments is 3x.

Monsters

Monsters | HP | Base stats |
Regular monsters | +15% | +20% |
Notorious monsters and bosses | +10% | +10% |
Regular monsters in Abyssea | 1.5x on top of the +15% | +20% |

The extra HP on regular Abyssea monsters gives you time to land the finishing blow you want for lights.
