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

Chariot, Empress, and Emperor Bands
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:
lv 1
all jobs
+50% exp bonus
180 minutes
maximum exp 1000
7 charges
New emperor ring is
lv 1
all jobs
+50% exp bonus
210 minutes?
maximum exp 20003 charges
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.

There has been an Update to the Empress band Icon
Here is the link to the new pic.

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
Does this work on XP giving scrolls and chests?

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.

mobs that are easy pray arn't nescerally the same level thos higher level ones give more xp
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.

I tried to get this band from guard in Sandy, my home. I am only offered clothes, weapons, scrolls and return ring. Is the ring only for certain jobs? I am a 18 rdm leveling my 3wm.
Thanks for reply

Can you recharge this band anywhere in Aht Urhghan?

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 >.>
