AA XP from grey quests (LU42)

Anonolo · 01-28-2008, 06:09 AM

Hi,I've read about it in the testupdate-notes. Is it for every grey quest we can get above lvl10 (afaik AA XP is only given in quests above lvl10?!)?That would be great, as I haven't done soooo many quests on my leveling route and I lack a lot of AA XP that I could get by grinding grey quests SMILEY

No, I think you're misinterpreting the notes. Previously, if you leveled by completing a quest, the adventure xp would be rewarded first and if it level'd you and that made the quest turn gray, you wouldn't receive the aa xp from the quest. Now, if you complete a quest and that quest levels you and turns gray, you still receive the aa xp for completing that quest.

Oh

Thats dissapointing... but it would be nice, if they would allow to get AA XP from every quest, so I had a reason to do all that grey quests - just because they are easy doesn't mean, they are bad - and it's a shame to see so many good quests fading away because leveling is so fast nowadays - which isn't a bad thing either SMILEY

I think they do this my purpose, so you will be encouraged to use "the mentor trick". And as you likely wont like to ask for someone to mentor all the time you need a second account to do it easily. So it will help to get the subscriptions up. SMILEY

If you wouldn't need to mentor, you wouldn't need a second account. If it wasn't clear. This is meant to be sarcastic.

I don't post on the forums, but this patch note really caught my eye. Almost everytime I level a char up, I always have to worry about getting as many AA as possible, because it's a pain at 80.... I solo'ed my alt Necro to 75 and was probably in about 6-10 grps total my whole time leveling and locked my xp acouple times for the quests to not turn grey.

So let me get this straight, I can stay at level 75 or 80 and still get AA from doing any grey quest in the game. Question is, How much AA xp do you get at 75 if I do a level 35 quest or so without mentoring someone. Also does it count in Nameds to?

If this is all true, it would extremely awesome. Also it would fix the empty zone problem that everyone has been talking about, because everyone would be doing grey quests all over Norrath. Other thing is, would this eliminate the xp locking thing, or is there something else usefull for locking your xp. Would definitly kill the plat farmers hehe.

No, that's what sahet was clarifying up above. It changes nothing with respect to getting AA from grey quests. The only thing that changes are the rare case where turning in the quest gives you enough XP to ding, and dinging makes the quest turn from green to grey. Before the change you would get no AA because the AA was rewarded AFTER the adventuring XP. Now you'll get that AA. So if you're 70, doing a 60 quest . . . you turn it in and ding 71, you'll still get AA even though the quest turns grey after.If you're 70 doing a 35 quest, you'll get nothing and like it.

(Unless you mentor, of course)
