Resource that lists AA abilities by class?

    I am aware of Allakhazam's list of spells by class, but this only gives half the picture. Is there something similar to this that lists out relevant AA abilities by class? And by AA abilities, I mean the ones that are essentially clickable spells but that you purchase via AAs instead of the spell vendor.

    For example, if I wanted to look at what abilities an Enchanter gets, having a list of spells will give a very large part of the picture. But if I wanted to know what kind of abilities Warriors/Rogues/Monks get, then I don't know where to look at all.

    AA's are tricky, due to the inconsistent way the data for them shows up in the spell files. What you could do (tho admittingly not an easy solution) is look at the Alt Act list on EQResource to get the names of the activatable AA's, then use the Spells search to find the Spell data by name.

    Here's the Alt Act list: http://articles.eqresource.com/altactlist.php

    And here's a link to the Spell Search: http://spells.eqresource.com/spellsearch.php

    The other way you can do it is use the AA site I created - www.eqaasearch.org - . All 16 classes are in it. Note it is still missing the last batch of CoF AA's (behind on that I know), but otherwise, it has a search feature that you can select the class first, then the list filters and you can slect activated or passive AA's (as well as numerous other search criteria), and it will list what each AA does in layman's terms.

    If you want to see what is in each slot, then you have to go to spell data but for the basic info you can see what each rank does (for anything that is in the spell data OR has been publicly figured out by players).

    To create your own list type:
    /log on
    /alternateadv list
    /log off
    your log file will now list every AA, it's code number and it's description including whether it's passive or activated, for the class of the character used to enter the command.

    Ya I kinda figured I wouldn't be able get something quite as "neat" as what's already on ZAM. Although admittedly even that list isn't the greatest due to EQ spell mechanics being as confusing as they are.



    This is great! Thanks!

    http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:AA has most lines but not info on all ranks by class, that you can sort by passive / active. The individual AA pages that are have the info, link to the spell associated with the rank of the activated AA, or the effect produced by a passive proc'ing AA. I'll admit, I've been slacking, as I had planned on getting upto date to CotF expansion for all the ranks, I just haven't found the motivation to do it. I think the first 3 or 4 alphabetic classes, and the last 2 or 3 are done. But, I stopped around Feb / Mar and never got back to finishing it up.

    I've been using Crystilla's AA site to update the newer ranks, as I'm pretty confident all of her new expansion ranks are valid, as she gets the info straight from the game at each expansion, and keeps an eye out on the patch notes for AA changes to update them. I had been keeping a watch on the patch notes also, when I was keeping the Zam pages updated. EDIT: Actually, I think she's fixed all the errors she had in the old ones too, as the last time I checked I only found 1 or 2 errors, and she's fixed those. The AA info changes alot over time.

    Also, if you just wanted to see all Activated not sorted / separated by class, look at EQ Active AA [625] page.

    Also, if you don't like / trust / find Zam spell info hard to read, you might try http://raidloot.com/Spells.aspx -- I find their descriptions easier to understand / figure out, if you haven't ever used the spell effect before.

    EDIT 2: As an example, click the War page at http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Warrior_AA then scroll down to the table (yea, I know I should be the first info at the bottom), then click the P column to sort so that Active (A) are listed first. Then click on a AA you're interested in, like Battle Leap, and the AA page lists the spell effect id for each rank, and you can click on it, like for rank 1: 11052

    Dang edit timer .. Just wanted to mention, the reason I put the links to the spell effects, is because many of them are not the same name as the AA, and a few aren't even close, so simple searches for the AA name in a spell db don't always lead to an answer right away.

    After doing some more searching, I've found simply reading guides about rotation and which AAs to pick first for each class is the best way to figure out what kind of abilities each class has at a higher level.

    I know this is a Necro but this thread was first thing I found when I websearched for AA by Class.

    Here's a resource where you can find them:

    The link to your site does lead to

    That post was from 2014 - - - after Dzarn did the AA revamp, eqresource and raidloot.com in particular ended up being able to capture all the updates much quicker than I could (since I was 100% reliant on players giving me updates for all the classes I didn't play since only during beta could I make a max level character), so that site has been decomissioned for a number of years now.
