...and now...

<-----

Was in PoN near the hedge, so we were fighting banshess as well, so I hit Holyforge for the first time... got crits for 108 and 195, plus a 173 point crippling blow.

And in about forty minutes, I could try it again... :/

What to now... build some AAs, or stay at 100% regular EXP? Currently I have 20% of my first AA point...

Advice? Comments? Pastry?

I'd say stay at 100% normal exp until at least level 60.

Though spending some time getting Innate Run Speed 3 would be a wise alternative, but other than that, 100% XP is best until 60.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Regular exp.

Despite what people tell you, AA is NOT better then levels.

Levels Bring:
Better spells
Better channeling
Better resisting
Better hp
Better chance at invites
Better required level chance

AA can do that, but seperately. Levels are greatest.

I'm personally going for all AA, until my third point of natural Dura.

It goes fast. At least a percentage point of AA every kill in PoN..

I figure RS3, Innate Regen, Natural Durability, and combat agility will set me up nicely for a while.

Being able to solo in the planes nets some 9-11% AA per kill in Teir 2 on trash mobs

Levels are your best bet... You can work on AA on the side, but by far levels are more important and have greater rewards.

Also, not shooting for 60 will hurt your ablity to advance to other planes anytime soon. Trust me... Teir 2+ is waaay worth grinding the level xp to 60 heh.

Level 60+ in Valor you can easily get 4-6% AA exp every kill.

It's much easier to get AA's once you're 60-62 and can get into Valor.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

The only AA I got before 60 was Run speed.
Run Speed 3 is pretty much a must have as soon as possible.

Okay... I'll prolly stay at 100% regular exp for now... if I ever get into an isane situation (say, killing whites/yellows with virtually no downtime); I might go 50/50 just to see...

Anyway, what good at critical hits/crippling blows anyway? They don't count as an extra attack or anything.. am I missing something?

I got RS2 while holding my warrior at Naggy raid levels and goofing off... otherwise I'd have kept 100% XP myself...

RS3 would be nice for indoor dungeons when you're the puller, but if you're outdoors and have Jboots, no need for RS3 till post-60....

I can't believe anyone would advocate AA over levels at 55. Keep it at 100% until 60 and get the essentials like run speed 3 and then go on to 65. As has already been said levels means stuff like better resists, higher chance of grouping (which will net you more exp than 30% on your base run speed...), shit like that...

OR someone can suggest that he play and level the way he wants to.

Do whatever you want Mightion, level grinding can get boring, so switch over to AAXP if you want to.

I disagree with this. Run Speed 3 is alright, if you want it, but it's not a "must have"

With Planes of Power run speed 3 isn't really as good as it once was. You're going to be doing all your grouping outside anyway.

You know you don't have to keep the jboots in your inventory to use them, right? You CAN put them in a bag and take them out just to click.

My Ro BP gave off a fair amount of light, but when a friend of mine gave me a Shissar Scaled BP, I couldn't refuse and say "Thanks for the 8kpp item, but I wanna see at night" Heh.

I dunno, I think I'd be discombobulated if I had more then six bags.
And I wonder why Magelo isn't showing my equipment in inventory..

I know... I had to go back to carrying a lightstone when I made my Mith Marr Field Plate BP... I always try to keep one slot open... having a Rallic pack and EE bag helps.

And I wasn't being snide or gloating. Well, maybe a little...
