Darn it, didn't see this one. Would have asked a class question, which I can't really figure out now... exactly how many AAs are available on each class now?

eqplayers used to have a player search and leaderboards which might of answere your question spitt but they no longer support those functions but are working on something for the future:



using magelo's leaderboard ranking search http://eq.magelo.com/ranking.jspa you get

bard 8365
beastlord 9264
beserker 7138
cleric 8842
druid 8774
enchanter 8585
magician 8475
monk 7201
necromancer 8735
paladin 9330
ranger 9848
rogue 6995
shadowknight 9661
shaman 9547
warrior 7275
wizard 7699

BUT looking through posts in searching related aa topics http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts ... _id=182857 some players have magelo links in their signatures showing stats higher than above and there were druids with 10,000 13,000 and 15,000 aa's whether these are true figures or a player can manipulate them I do not know

Didnt it just go free to play?

yep eq is free as posted here in february:) http://www.taultunleashed.com/everquest ... 81816.html

The ones you listed are false numbers. I know that the classes now take 4.5-5.5 weeks to farm all the AAs, at 200 AAs a day botted.

Magelo probably hasn't listed all the VoA AAs, especially since they actually released some with the expansion, more in December 2011, and even more in January 2012.

gee hardsell, thanks for trying to help answer my question, that must of taken you at least 15 to 20 minutes /sarcasm off

but your own math proves me right:)



5.5 x 7 = 38.50 days x 200 = 7700.00 AA's (isn't it grand being able to do basic math in your head, and thus being able to see the magelo numbers fit in your own aa level parameters:)

I'm not disagreeing that the magelo leaderboard numbers were lower than some in the forum thread quoted above' but there weren't that many players above the magelo totals but there were a very few way above the highest lvl 95 leaderboard magelo numbers

since my characters on 5 accounts had so few aa's I've always been interested in finding this answer myself, to see how totally behind my guys were and if I should just give up on eq as they would never be acceptable to raiders (unless they were totally desperate:)

you just can't find any hard info on how many max aa's there are per class

from http://www.paullynch.org/tnzfaq/?page_id=348 :



from http://almarsguides.com/eq/general/aas.cfm :


http://membres.multimania.fr/niphreedil/aa.htm has a nice guide to cleric aa's up to underfoot one could add up all the aa points needed per skill....

and that is probably why players dont take the time to just open their aa panels and just add up the ranks to answer all those posts in the eq forums of "how many aa's?" because along comes another expansion and everything changes

and then it gets tricky with class racial veteran expendable tradeskill progression aa's to pad the count and where do group raid leadership aa's count in?

looking at http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/Ca ... dvancement they break down the aa's by category adding up to 2455 available aa's in all categories, expansions up to voa but not the cost of each aa skill which might take 3 6 9 as high as 25 aa points to unlock that skill/level of skill

wish eq had aa tools like eq2 http://www.users.on.net/~beetny/eq2aa/

ah yah, my math was off, lol. I approximated it. Thank you master Yoda for teaching me the error of guestimating on a number specific thread.

I lost all my chat records for Skype (which had some of the numbers), when I upgraded my OS to Windows 7. I really thought that Skype saved everything. oops.
