150 AA for a 13th spell gem?

What were they smoking when they came up with that bright idea?

a bargain at twice the price.

If you are a wizard, you can pay 200 aa to switch your synergy to a spell that's worse that the 105 one.

The 150 aa for the spell gem does seem like a bargain at that point.

Another spell gem offers the player an incredible power increase so that cost does not surprise me at all.

That seems like a great one. I always wish I had another spell available! I didn't realize this existed, going to rush for it on both characters first before 106 even.

Required level 106 though

I would have put that thing on layaway and paid 500aa a week for 2 months to get it.

I'd pay 210 for an extra spell gem. or I guess in a day or two 220

I’d pay 500aa for another hotbar!

Blessing to a necro (sortof, now have to rework all the spellsets)

200 AA for the synergy
22 different dot focus at a quick glance.

That folks is 2400 aa to max out just the focus tab.

The 13th spell gem was the 1st thing I brought. The only downside is trying to tweak spell sets, macros and multibinds.

The UI file added support for both a 13th and a 14th spell gem. Makes me wonder what the future holds. Also wonder what keys to use... I have no F13 key.

I bet it takes less time to get 150aaa now than it did to get however many AA the first additional gem needed when it was released /shrug

Omens of War , rank1 cost 3 aa. Could get it at level 55

Foggy memory but can remember something of 4 aa an hour considered good. So probably correct that the cost in time invested is about the same.

Ahh, you was ubber. Back then 2 AA in a 3-hour evening was work for me.

This reminds me of the thread a couple weeks ago saying that the rate of AA XP should be drastically increased. If you want to go back to 2-3 AAs in an hour, then you can have abilities that cost 6 or 9 points. . . .

I bought the extra spell-gem immediately after gaining level 106.

An extra spell-gem is extra flexibility for a caster.

I'd pay 1,500 for a 14th slot.

1st thing I bought too, mostly because the AA's are horrible & boring. Not a single new AA or even any upgrades to lines I actually use. Super disappointed

You have to be a very casual player nowadays to be phased by 150 AA. With lesson burns and quest rewards, it should take the majority of players (if they were straight focused only on AA) a week at the most to get 150 AA. For over half it could be a couple days, and for probably a quarter of players it could be done in a day.
