Title: Bonus AA scaling details
Post by: Khauruk on October 06, 2010, 08:43:43 AM
Considering how many AA people have to get these days to be a capable player in the minds of the min-max'er crowd.. I've moved the AAXP bonus scale to reach 0% bonus at 2500AA for House of Thule. The bonus degrades linearly from 500% at 0, to 100% at 2500.

For those wondering where they sit on the bonus scale, based on this new info, it will look like this:

KK it's 4am my time plus I'm uncertain what I'm reading.

So at a guess are you saying that a character that has no AA, will get bonus xp up until the total of 2500AA. (I think I read somewhere that it was 1000-1200AA before).

I have a total of 26AA at lvl 63 lol. - I guess if the above is true I better just AA grind till I have 2500AA.

Yes, you will get more AAxp/mob now than when you have more AAs.  And when HoT goes live you will get more AAxp/mob than you are currently.

I would say though you can't usefully spend 2500AAs until lvl85, and that'll get you probably 75% of the useful stuff at 90.  A lot of the rest are just such minimal returns they're not really worth buying.

It's a good thing imo.
Helps new people level up to standard faster.
Helps ya build a bot army quicker?
Helps people burnt out with their class change mains with more ease...

Just because I was looking in, the last time I heard, this has been extended to 4500, however that might now be out of date wit RoF arriving.
