you can get the bands recharged via the past allied note NPC in exchange for Allied Notes instead of Conquest Points.

To date, recharging these items required that adventurers call upon guard NPCs located within designated conquest areas and towns. Depending on their current job level, however, adventurers may find these areas to be a considerable time and distance away from their current base of operation. To address this inconvenience, West Aht Urhgan and Past Vana'diel are scheduled to be added to the list of rechargeable locations for the bands. The price of the service in these new locations will be consistent with that of existing areas.

I was just wondering, I'm almost to level 18 and I have the empress band and I love using it. But I was wondering: if you activate Empress Band, then switch jobs with it active, does it stay active? Or does it disable and make you wait another 16 hours??
This ring is why I wake up in the morning :D

Now this is off the top of my head but I believe the ring gives:

maximum exp 1000
7 charges
New emperor ring is

210 minutes?

I'm not sure on all that but just a ballpark view

I have been using this ring everytime I party, even taking the time to go to Jueno/Sandy to charge it when I'm partying in ToAU areas. So, over a year now.
Today, I was soloing goblins, half way through fight, realized I hadn't used ring yet. So, I equip, use, and goblin smacks me as a use item. No biggie, I get hit and use items all the time! Well, there is no EXP up icon on my screen. I try to use ring again, and see that the 16:00 hour reuse clock is going! Of course, I call a GM, and ask if I can have my clock reset, or actually receive my EXP up charge. GM replies, "Everything happened as it was supposed to. I suggest you check the community forums to learn correct usage of this item. EXP bonus is not a guarantee on this item."
So, my morale of this story is, not only are GMs helpful and a pleasure to deal with, don't use this in the middle of a fight.

When I read the stats on the ring, I honestly have no idea what it means and how to use it, I read the forum and kinda got an idea but can anyone clarify it more to me, just explain what everything means

1) Go to Menu - Equipment. Equip the ring on a finger slot.
2) Highlight yourself with your arrow, click and go to Items.
3) Move down list to the ring. After 15 seconds it will turn blue. Click on the ring and it will place a blue arrow over your head. Click once more to activate. It takes just a few seconds and you will have the "experience bonus" effect.
3) You can leave the ring on your finger or un-equip it.
**************
NOTE: The ring has 7 uses only - when out "Trade" it back to the gate guard and he will recharge it for only 700 conquest points. Do not throw it away or it will cost you another 1000 cp to get another one.
It has a recast timer of 16 hours. Since it can be used only once every 16 hrs time it's usage for when you really wanna boost your exp.
That's the broken down basics....hope it helps.

I believe they should have made the max XP 1000-3000 or even 1000-2000 depending on your main jobs level, like what they have for rings similar to the Tamas Ring.
example:
For 1000-3000lv 1-50 1000 lv 51-65 2000 lv 66-75 3000
For 1000-2000lv 1-50 1000 lv 51-75 2000
example:
For 1000-3000
For 1000-2000

You will have to wait till the next conquest tall before you can get it, its like when you recarge it, you can only recarge that once after every conquest tally week.

I was duoing with my partner (RDM/BLM and WHM/BLM), in Sanctuary of Zi'tah, we had just activated our empress bands, and we were getting nice little exp from DC leeches near the entrance to the zone when I noticed after a few fights that WHM was getting more exp than I was...
I couldn't find it anywhere in the log, but it appears as though one of the leeches we fought had somehow sapped my Dedication! Has anyone else ever had this happen? This seems really unfair. A mob shouldn't be able to remove the Dedication effect!
Unless it was something else? I remember using my empress band, then we fought a dozen or so leeches before I noticed the Dedication effect was gone. As RDM, I was tanking, so I got most of the MP/HP/TP-removing effects.

I must say, this really did help me whilst lvling my whm...once!! It's really annoying that it goes away after 1000. and even more annoying that I have to wait 16 hrs to use it again! grrr. lvling whm is quite boring...and I'd love for there to be a way for me to breeze through it. thank the lord for Rolanberry Pies!
To activate this ring you:
Put in on your finger (EQUIPMENT)
then, after the 15 second count down
Go to ITEMS, click on the ring,
and USE the ring on yourself!
This activates the ring!!!!
and an EXP symbol appears at the top of the screen ... you can check the ring timers by looking at the ring in ITEMS or EQUIPMENT.
After 7 uses you can turn have it recharged by your nations Conquest/signet NPC.

I just have to comment that SE really needs to make this ring better. I am not comlaining about the added 1k exp. It is nice. But one of the problems with Final Fantasy is the slow lvling at the higher lvls. I would suggest another ring or something. Instead of haveing a exp cap, just keep the duration. So 50% for 3 hrs. That would great for any level. I know this is wishful thinking, but wouldn't that be awesome to be getting 200-400exp for a couple hours? You could pull down 15-20k exp a hour. But, until then, I will keep using this thing.
This ring is great but it was realy ment for low lvl players.
But I would like SE to make another one like this for say lvl 60+ and at say rank5 to get it.
And maybe have somthing like exp +50% for 2 hours no exp cap on it or just a higher exp cap instead.
But at low lvl this is a brillent ring

I used my ring the other day to solo while lfp in Bhaflau Thickets. I had to log before I got the full bonus and had some time remaining on my ring. When I logged back on the effect was still there for another 45 mins. What I am getting at is that if you know that when you log on the next day that 1) it will have been 16 hrs. 2) you will be getting xp as soon as you log on, that you could essentially use the remaining time left if you use it before you log off on day 1, and when it wears during use on day 2 use it again. This could work for ppl with static parties or even BST.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not the exp. gained form the empress band stacks with other exp. gain effects, like Cosair's Roll? Would it show up as two exp up icons or what?

First off, Astral Candescence is a special effect sometimes(seems like always) in the Aht Uhrgan zones, where you get 12% more exp per kill there. I was exping in the Woodlands just outside Al Zahbi.
I had used my ring only 10 exp into 63 BST, and then it wore 35-40 minutes later after a fight. I checked, and I had only gotten 2.6k exp from this! 50% of 2000 exp would be 1000 exp, so I should have had 3000 total when it wore. You would think, if anything, that you would get more exp from this. I'll try it again soon and see if I get the same results from this..

I have also noticed this, and was considering posting in the BST forum as a question. This seemed more appropriate. ;-)
My initial reaction was that it should work in one of two ways:
1) Dedication XP is added in after the Sanction bonus, and so it would still wear off after 3K XP.
2) Dedication XP is added in first, so you should end up with >3K XP.
After thinking about it some more, my only guess is that somehow Sanction's XP bonus is being counted in the 1000XP total. Whether that is intentional or a mistake, I can't say. I certainly don't like it, but it's not going to stop me from using my ring. :3

You can put the ring on. Use the effect, and then take the ring off and put on something else and you still have the effect. Zoning, logging, dieing, peeing, jumping up and down: nothing removes the effect except 1000 bonus exp points or 3 hrs.

You sure they fixed it? maybe they did for Chariot Band but not for Empress Band i've been using this trick for a couple of weeks.
when you have 1/7 charges left use last charge at a conquest gaurd you can gain the charges from. When at 0/7 charges the timer returns to 00:00 trade the Empress Band to recharge it. You now have 7/7 charges with 00:00 timer to reuse so once your current Dedication effect wears off you can use the band to get a new one ^^ lovely

When this first came out if you recharge it, it use to reset the timer to 0 so you could use it twice in one day, but SE fixed this prity fast.

I do this all the time ^^, that is using the ring twice in one day.
Once you use this 7 times trade it to a conquest guard to get 7 more. once you recharge you must wait till the next conquest update to recharge agen.
one more thing you dont need to use all 7 to recharge and it costs conquest points (Varies on how meny you have left to use (0/7 costs more than 3/7)
Uhh why dont you just say it where its easy, for every recharge of the band its 100 pts it will only recharge what is left on the emp band say it was 3/7 it would cost 400 to get the 4 back need all 7 you get 700 etc, now i have not yet tried and do it with less then the required pts to fully charge it EX: Need 7 charges but only got 400 pts, not sure if it will still recharge those 400 im sure it would but dunno i never run out of CP's rarely use them except for IW Scroll's >.>

The effect even stays on if you log off. so the only ways to loose it is to gain your 1000 exp, let the time run out or disable it your self(why you now would do that, i don't get)

The Empress Ring hauls ass!it's good to see SE has come up with something to speed up the boring hours of lvling up!its only 1000exp max but it helps when u have an hour b4 u log off and u need more exp,plus seeing 400 exp over chains is nice to see!loli just wished the time limit remained and they removed the cap of 1000exp...wouldnt that be something!? ~^
to charge once a week is worth it too...700 cp for full recharge is peanuts...wth r u goin to do with all that CP anyways,wait for somethin good to come up!?probably but maybe far in the future...Use the ring wisely and watch ur EXP fly!"and try not to use it between lvl1 and lvl9
anyone can easily beat "T" worms all the way to lvl 10 with chains too if u time it rite!(^ ^)
they're awesome to use in Parties when u need to
match up to others lvls or about to log off;using it for buffers....damn idk why!hopefully SE brings out more EXP boosting itmes in the near future....fingers crossed...meanwhile

It would be cool if they made like rank ones that had to be lvl 30 40 50 60 and such to wear that would have higher caps of exp. But you'd have to chunk them if you wanted to lvl a lower job.
Note that it costs 1000 CP in your own and 2000 if you are trying to buy it in another nation and your nation is higher than thiers.
I tried to get this in Sandy (I'm a Windy citizen) and that's what happened to me.
Also to recharge it in another nation, you have to go to your consulate and not the nation's conquest person.

It Stays on you till 3 hours of game play is up or till you have gained the extra 1000 exp.
So Yes if you logged out it will still stay on, even if you logged out for a few days.
When this first came out if you recharge it, it use to reset the timer to 0 so you could use it twice in one day, but SE fixed this prity fast.
Also about the ring, if you do recharge this you pay 100CP per charage, so say you have 2 use left, it would get charaged 5 times making it a total of 500cp.
Also recharging the ring dose not reset the timer to 0 (Anymore) or reset it to the max waiting time.
So if you recharge it when you have 2 hours left before you can next use your ring, you still would have to wait 2 hours before using it after recharge.
I hope this helps with any confusion.

So Yes if you logged out it will still stay on, even if you logged out for a few days.
When this first came out if you recharge it, it use to reset the timer to 0 so you could use it twice in one day, but SE fixed this prity fast.
Also about the ring, if you do recharge this you pay 100CP per charage, so say you have 2 use left, it would get charaged 5 times making it a total of 500cp.
Also recharging the ring dose not reset the timer to 0 (Anymore) or reset it to the max waiting time.
So if you recharge it when you have 2 hours left before you can next use your ring, you still would have to wait 2 hours before using it after recharge.

From experience, this Dedication effect stays active, even if you die and require a raise. Not sure if it stays active if you return to Home Point.
I'm really glad they dont take it away when you die. It would suck hardcore, activating it, getting killed in the next fight, and not be able to use it again for 16 hrs.

remember the actual intention for this ring is for levling up your low level characters, according to SE <i think thats where i heard it>

Nobody ever gets that hint though. While this is a nice ring...
Everyone I party with - in the 60s and 70s - uses this ring in xp parties. It wouldn't be used much if SE had made it so you can only use it when playing solo only... which is really the point of using it IMO. It's much easier to get soloing done with this ring.
Most of the time everyone uses it right before we fight one mob... and then when they find out someone has to leave they ask if they can get the full xp bonus... *shrug*
And I have also been in an experience where someone forgot their xp ring and wanted a D2 to get it. No way. For one reason--they're already at camp. It'd take 10 (or more) minutes to get the ring and come back to camp. Depending on the location, of course.

Yes, you can buy an empress ring once everytime the conquest is tallied, only if you have dropped the ring, that is. You can't have 2.

im new so cut me some slack but can i equip a chariot band and an empress band to get more extra exp?
No you cannot have both. Once you have one you cannot obtain the other unless you discard the one you have. The empress would be the one to get with the slightly higher boost in exp.

Once you have it equiped you have to wait for about 15secs then got to your items menu and 'use' it, its name will be blue.

My linkshell says if you recharge the ring at an outpost instead of a gate guard, you will be charged gil instead of CP.
This is absolutely untrue. I trade my Empress Ring in at Outposts regularly and it's always charged in CP. NEVER gil.
The great thing about this ring is that it pays for itself when used in XP parties at any level. Higher XP per mob = better CP gained. I regularly get 2k-5k CP from a good XP party now. All for a tiny 100 CP per charge.
*kisses his Empress Ring*
Every time you think humanity has maxed out on stupid, somebody comes along and says, "Wanna bet?"
You are correct, sir, and the person in my linkshell is wrong.
I recharged the ring at an outpost and was indeed charged CP, not gil. I will hunt down the offending linkshell member, smite him, break his pearl, and cast him out.^^

The dedication effect will also (like food) last over your logout and login time. So lets say you have been crafting all day or the ring wasn't ready when you went to get exp, and you have to call it a day for work sleep ect. you can use the ring and then logout and get a second chance at the ring when you log back in. (work and sleep should cover that 16 gap) Have the dedication bonus from before your logout. and if it is timed right to have the 2nd effect wear off as the charges hit 0/7 you can trade it in for CP to have it recharged and RESET (but only if charges fall to zero and only once a week) Thus allowing you to get 3x the dedication bonus within one Nice Exp session.
When the ring is recharged, it is set to the maximum delay meaning you will have to wait 16 hours for it to become available again, thus you cannot get 3 lots of usage in such a short period of time.

Untrue, in my case everytime i recharge my ring i can use it straight away. First post was right...
Been away for a while, trying to get back in as of 02/09.

{Please Listen...} or read perhaps before you go ranting away. I stand by my staements earlier and will restate IF YOU WAIT TIL 0/7 CHARGES AND TRADE IT TO GUARD YOU RECIEVE IT BACK RESET AD READY TO USE! If you are a moron(wishing to argue) and traded it at 1~6/7 charges the Timer is not Reset. To get 3 uses within one hour time follow steps. Use ring until it has 2/7 charges saving last two for Uber Exp hour. Then
Use Ring (1/7) and logout for 16+ hours (sleep work and/or school fill that gap nicely) and when your ready to fire away log back in. when you log in you will have bonus for three hours. (try eatting a 3 hours food about 30 minutes before you use your ring you will give yourself a 30 minute warning)
GO EXP Use 1: 3k+ exp
use Ring again (timer reset while you logged out) ring now has 0/7 charges and no timer.
Keep Exping Use 2: 3k+ exp
at anytime you are free to do so you can return to appropriate guard and have ring recharged (7/7 charges ready for use) this is easy at early levels near town or when changing battle fields often can go along with equip/item upgrades (cause you want to be ready for more exp) at later levels recharge when Tank or Mage or other vital member is afk for 25+ minutes and you have nothing better to do.
Use ring (6/7 charges 15:59:00 til next use)
Go exp Use 3: 3k+ exp
Hence 1,2,3 Uses within one nice exp session (weekend anyone?)
I would rate the above posts but i'd rather close pop ups.

Let me just say, while you are correct about using the Band three times in one day, you can also use the band four times in a row without the 16 hour delay.
As you said before:
1) Use before you log.
2) Log in 16+ hours later.
3) Exp until your bonus wears off.
4) Use it again.
5) Exp until your bonus wears off.
6) Go recharge it.
7) Use it a third time.
8) Exp until your bonus wears off.
HOWEVER! IF you do choose to start this chain a day or so before the conquest update... You can get a FOURTH charge to use in quick succession.
For me, I party only at night. 11-4ish EST time. I, myself, cannot do what I'm speaking of. So, let's say you party only in the morning... say... 7-11a.m. EST. You can simply log out Saturday morning, using your Empress Band beforehand. Then when you awaken to party Sunday morning at 7 o'clock, you have Dedication. Milk it until your bonus runs out, then reuse it. Milk it some more, then go recharge it and use it again. This should take up a fair amount of time. Now, you see, if you are using this time zone (which is just an example by the way), the conquest tally should be coming up very very soon. Now, as soon as the conquest tally happens, run and recharge your band again. -Yeah, I know it was only at 6/7, but just do what I say.- Now you can use it AGAIN.
Four uses almost completely in succession! Viola!

Okay -- so I call it "My Precious" I love this ring!!
I found out that after you use the last charge, the timer does not restart. It stays at zero (presumably because the last charge has been used, therefore the ring is technically no longer usable).
However, if you use the last charge in a city before you go xping, you may then immediately charge it back to full, and use the ring for a second time in a row -- without waiting the 16 hours between uses.
Just thought this might be a helpful hint for people who don't always get in the full 7 charges a week. Keep in mind, though, that you may only recharge this once per week. I usually end up using my last charge just after the conquest tally, and recharging to use my first charge later that afternoon (sometimes within the same xp pt). It's always nice to have an extra 2k xp come your way.

You can get it from the gate guard in jeuno Under "common items" (thats where i got mine). It's 1000cp to purchase, and you can recharge it for 100cp by trading it to the gate gaurd.
(I tried to reply to atlusss' original quote, but the site won't let me.)
Actually, it's 100 CP per charge to recharge. If you used 5 charges during the week, it will cost you 500 CP to recharge from the gate guard.

This is a Conquest point item. It costs 1000 CP to get, either from your home nation's Guards (The names of which vary-- it's the ones who give Signet) or the Jueno Ducal guards, who do the same thing.
It lasts for 3 hours real time, giving a +50% EXP bonus to a max of 1000 EXP. It can be recharged bt trading it to a local (That is, your home nation) or Jueno guard. who will then burn 100 CP per charge to charge it to full. So, an "empty" Empress Band will burn 700 CP to recharge.
It is Rare/Ex, and you can't have it and it's counterpart (the Chariot Band) at the same time.
It is nice to have, certainly, but (especially at higher levels) hardly a requirement... since it can only be used once ever 16 Earth hours. it is not a rocket to higher levels, unless you are leveling a level 1 job-- and then it's just plain freakish.
It cannot be crafted, cannot be sold, cannot be bought (except with CP). It is like the Scroll of Instant Warp in that respect.
ONe hopes that makes it perfectly clear.

There is a certain subtle joy to being a Monk. There are few complications, few aggravations, few deep and complex subtleties involved.
There is a certain subtle joy, in other words, of just walking up to a monster and starting to beat the living crap out of it with your almost bare hands-- and having that work.
