Turning off adventure xp for AA points..????Follow

LOL looks lik this posted twice.... Hehehe

My monk was lvl 56 when KoS came out and in now lvl 70 now has 69 AA. My troub. which i made when I got EoF is now lvl 59 and has 72 AA. You do the math.

I've never bothered on any of my toons. I just roll them up and play normally. I quest a lot anyhow so I've never really had a problem. I gain AA and regular exp together at a pretty steady rate. I never feel I am 'grinding' AA as I am usually working on quests anyhow and I see AA as just a bonus reward. I personally think that it's silly to deprive yourself of the regular exp.

The OP's toons are all in the L20'ish range apparently. They have awhile before the hit the L70 wall, I'd imagine.

Katreena, I wouldn't be too concerned If I was in your situation. The AP's come pretty quick if you quest and explore as you level. I do understand the the concern, and I actually made the decision to turn off combat xp's on more than one occasion. Catch that...you can turn off the combat xp's not the entire adventure xp system (someone correct me if this is wrong). So if you turn off your combat xp's and run around and finish off quests...you will get AP and Adventure xp's for finishing the quests.

I'm lvl 58 now, and leveling slowly. I have 48 AP's and I'm trying to increase that number so that I don't hit the lvl70 wall at full speed. So occasionally, I will turn off the combat xp's, so that I don't lvl too quickly. Granted, SOE added 50 points to the system after I was already lvl 45 or so, so I had a bit of catch up that was beyond my control.

I spend allot of time harvesting...harvesting in the tier above my adventure lvl. With that in mind, I have found that my adventure lvling gets out of whack with the AP's. Lots of xp's for killing white and yellow mobs that aren't associated with a particular quest while I'm searching for the harvest nodes. I typically turn off the xp's when I harvest now-a-days.

There are so many choices that you can make for progressing your character, turning off the combat xp's is just a tool that can be used to slow it all down a bit so that things don't get completely out of whack.

I just got back into the game and started with a new character. At L.29 it has 21AP points. Am I lagging behind in the AP department or is that about right for my current level? Also is it really worth the effort of turning off the Adventure XP just to run after every green quest that you can find? I'm on the good side but I found some quest starters in the Nek docks. is it worth stopping all adventure XP and divert my attentions away from TS?

I started my new toon when the EoF expansion came out. I hadn't previously got any AA expansions, but bought the all-expansion pack to play EoF. My toon is now level 60 and has 63 AA points, so about 1 AA per adventure level. I don't raid much, so don't kill that many named. I have done quite a few collection quests though.
