I need help about AAFollow

Hello everyone,I am a new player from China.Yesterday(04-01-2004),Everquest in China had updated to Luclin.From now on I can play this game with Advance Skills -----I call this "AA Skill".
But I have a lot of questions about these AA Skills.For example,if I am a Dark Elf Wizard,how can I training my Advance Skills.Another version,if I have lots points of AA Skill,which skill should I make trainning? And how many points should I spend on this skill.

Because of my poor English , who can understand my means? Please help me ,tell me what should I do,thank you !

(Maybe give me pictures of your AA skill )

The nice thing about AA's is tht you can use them to progress your character's development in your own individual way.

Of course a wizard putting AA skill points into things like agility and stamina and melee combat abilities may not be the most sensible thing to do, but if that is the way you want to develop you character, you can follow that path.

For casters, wizards in particular, mana efficiency, mana regeneration, and spell casting power, would usually be your highest priority, so;

Mental Clarity
Spell Casting Mastery
Spell Casting Fury

Would be the sort of thing more likely to be of benefit to you.

Of course you have to put some points into general abilities first, the concensus seems to be that;

Run speed 3

is the way to go with this. But its your choice and this is where you can make up for any mistakes you might have made with your original starting points (add a bit of strength or something like that).

I think that friends misconstrue my means.
Now I have known the impact of every AA ability. I wish that someone can give me excellent advice about the best spending on each ability.

Thanks, every friend.
I'm able to try it later.

I've got to say, Yay to you posters!

This is one of a very few threads that I've seen where everyone has posted helpful information in answer to a question without things descending into a series of personal attacks.

So to all of you who posted here:

I'm not a wizard, but my thoughts on AA abilities:

General AAs - you need 6 AAs here to be able to train Archetype
Get Run 3 (3 AAs)
then get Innate Metabolism 3 (reduces food consumption), getting regen 3 as a wizard would not be really useful imo

Archetype AAs - you need 12 AAs here to be able to train Class AAs

1- get Spell Casting Mastery, 10% flat saving on the cost of all your spells, 12 AAs
2- get Spell Casting Fury, gives your spells a chance to do critical damages, 12 AAs
3- get Spell Casting Subtetly, reduces the amount of agro you get from your spells

Class AAs
1- get SCFM, increases a bit further your chances to crit a spell
2- get Exodus, gives you the ability to instantly evac your group (or yourself if soloing), lifesaver
3- get Quick Damage, reduces the casting time of your DDs

Then in the archetypes you can get Mental Clarity (improved mana regeneration), Natural Durability + Combat Agility + Combat Stability to lower your death rate (gives you more hps and higher mitigation/evasion) as well as channeling focus (to reduce interrupts), other Arch AAs are pretty much useless

Then in class you can get Improved Familiar (to make flappy stronger), Quick Evacuation (spell haste on succors and evacs) and Strong Root (can be useful from time to time)

Mana Burn may also be useful, esp. if you're in a raiding guild.



When you have all of these AAs, you can consider getting "gravy" AAs like stats (+int and others) in the General section, until the next AA set (Planes of Powers) is released for you (you can also save up to 30 AA points)
