Emperor Band

I actually find this to be much more convenient than the Empress Band. Seeing as how the effect lasts longer and how one can get more exp in one sitting -and on top of that, it only has three charges and I'll explain why that's good.

What I do is after receiving a tell for party invite, I use my Emperor Band's last charge, then I trade it to my nation's gate guard or Outpost NPC for full charges. After your initial exp bonus wears off after having fought in party, simply use it again for another additional 2000 exp. Works like a charm and I haven't thought to go back to Empress Band since.

Jehoshaphat is more or less correct.

To simplify things, if you party daily, the Empress band is probably your best bet. For those who party occasionally, Emperor is the way to go.

The two charge trick he mentioned bumps total gain on each to 8,000 a week if you know what you're doing, so really it just depends on your EXPing schedule.

Cheers.

It's sad how this is slightly deficient compared to the Empress Band.

Of course, if you don't party every single day of the week, I suppose the loss of 1000 Bonus EXP could be offset.
