Noob question

[Shika]

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>Greetings all, new Paladin here with a question. I hit level 8 last night on the isle and I now have the green box with the yellow cross on my screen. Is this where I choose my AA's? It looks like my choices will allow me to increase a stat of my choosing? I'm wondering where I can find more info about this so I can figure out what I should be choosing. Or if anyone has any recomendations let me know. I'm planning to lean more towards a lot of soloing but that may change. So I'm thinking I should choose to increase the stats that will increase my melee strengths and power? Forgive my noobness, I used to know how this worked as I leveled a ranger to 24 right after launch but havent played since then. <div></div><p><span class="time_text"> </span></p><p>Message Edited by Shikari on <span class=date_text>10-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:47 PM</span>

AAs are something different.  You will not be able to earn those until you reach level 20, and you must have Kingdom of Sky installed and registered.  Press "L" to bring up your achievement window. As for what stats to boost, Paladins need STR (how hard you hit and part of our power pool), WIS (part of our power pool), and INT (increases crits, important as most of our damage is from our spells/combat arts).  How exactly you mix-and-match will really depend on what you plan your role to be - will you tank a lot?  Solo?  Be a support warder/healer/DPS on raids? Read through the threads on this forum - you will find a lot of info about the various ways to develop a paladin. <div></div>

Thanks for the replys. I also found the official manual online which helped refreshed my memory about a lot of things! Now I have another question, is being an alchemist usefull to Paladins? I'm trying to decide if I should go with weaponsmithing or alchemy for artison skills! <div></div>

<DIV>Alchemist will allow you to craft your own abilities/spells and make potions you may like to use.</DIV>

<DIV>No alts yet, but I probably will creating one soon as I do like the idea of having more than one Artisan toon. I would like to try Alchemist and Armorer and maybe Sage too but I'm going to do Alechemy wiht my main first to get started with. </DIV>
