Hi all,I just made a Fae Ranger and he is now level 10. What would be the fast way to get all the AA points needed to get th Befriend animal AA?Thank you.

Well, you get AA for:1. completing non-repeatable quests that are blue or higher,

2. killing named mobs that con to you for the first time,3. discovering new places in zones that are T2 (10+) and higher4. looting status items and curious treasure items for the first timeso... do those things, and you will get AA.

You can't start getting AA until level 20. And with that said, I think you need at least 20 AA to get the animal friend (IIRC). AAs are hard to come by in the earlier levels even if that is all you do is focus on getting them. I would guess it would be possible to get 20 AA by level 30-35 but that would be hard to do and take some planning and consistent AA action (like buying high level collection quests).

You start earning AA at level 10 now.

Last I looked it was 21 total, as you needed to spend 20 AA in the line and then 1 for Befriend Animal. I suppose at the lower levels it might be more useful, but BA was really kind of pointless for me when I beta'd it.

It's spend 17aa in the survival tree and 1 for the animal charm, I just got it at lvl 28.

I killed lots of named, did all the quests I could (over level 10), turned in lots of collections andran around getting exploration exp in as many places as I could. If I was rich I could have had it earlier but oh well SMILEY

Soloing in EL is a different story now SMILEY

AAs are a cake with the new expansion. I just started a Fury alt and after only a few short sessions I'm already lvl 14 and I have almost 6AA. Just do every quest that you can since there are so many lower level ones that are really easy, they all give amazing exp. I think with my Ranger I'm going to just mentor a low level in GFay and run through and do all the quests, I think I could get 5-6 in only a couple hours just by doing them.
