Alternate Advancement

From SoDWiki
(Redirected from AA)
Jump to navigationJump to search

Once a character reaches level 51, they will be able to put experience that they gain towards Alternate Advancement points (AA). These points can then be used to train various AA skills. All classes have unique AA skills as well as a set of common skills that they share with every other class. In-game, these skills can be viewed via the Alternate Advancement Window (the default keyboard shortcut is V).

Within this window, you can adjust what percentage of your gained experience will go towards normal experience (level advancement) vs AA experience (AAXP). If you turn this percentage to 100%, then you will stop advancing in level completely, but will gain AAXP at the fastest possible rate.

There are bonuses under certain circumstances when it comes to gaining AAXP. Your first 250 AA points will be gained 50% faster than normal. Also, you gain a 10% AAXP bonus at level 63, 20% at level 64, and 30% at level 65. It is widely accepted that the base rate at which you gain AAXP matches the amount of normal experience required to go from level 50 to level 51 (more exp parses are needed).

Per December 8, 2021, patch notes:

  • A player's first 250 AA points will be gained faster than normal (previously 50).
  • Max AA experience limit has been increased to 150% of an AA. (previously 25% of an AA) This limit scales with mob difficulty.
  • The level 63 to 65 bonus AAXP experience is now properly included in a player's experience message.

It is believed that racial experience modifiers do not affect the experience points gained for AAs but rather affect the number of experience points needed for an AA point. For neutral races, this number is believed to be approximately 346,500 (between 346,428 and 346,556).

Human -- 329,900 EXP (more parses needed)
Barbarian, Erudite, Half Elf -- 337,800 EXP (more parses needed)
Dark Elf, Dwarf, Froglok, Gnome, Halfling, High Elf, Ogre, Troll, Vah, Wood Elf -- 346,500 EXP
Iksar -- 355,200 EXP (more parses needed)
