could you ask the individual what his lvl80 dinged AA was. just curious because soloing i have a system ( does not take advantage of RAF or mentor bonuses obviously) and while its not near 7 hours its not bad at all and after taking a character that missed the first 20 levels of AA ( character was made and dinged long before AA where in game as a pure crafter ) about 3 months ago i started playing this one that has a good 30 aa dis advantage ( starting characters from scratch i get about 32 aa by lvl 20). where im going with this is . i enjoyed playing my character completely solo and dinged lvl 80 ( this isnt my first one to concentrate on AA though) and when i dinged 80 yesterday i had 181 and nearly 182 AA. I have started another experiment with a new character that will keep level locked for a VERY LONG TIME and see how many AA i can achieve and what the curve looks like to find sweet spots and move on points to establish new curves and spots.( this experiment requires a lot of patience and is not so enjoyable for most people )
I doubt it was much AA; if you look at Zimm's leveling notes he only did a half-dozen dungeons. I'd be interested in anyone's "how I did it" bits, especially one on hitting 80/200 with a quickness!
Whoever said 30AA is probably close to right. With so few places visited, and only 4 completed collections, it can't be THAT many... Then again with the slider bar set at 5% you actually gain AA really quickly with 275% xp gain.

Normally its an online poker or bingo site, twice its been Nuts and once was for a male genital enhancer that "all the top **** stars use!!" My brother has the same issue using Chrome - both of us based in Europe (Norway and UK). Not the end of the world cos we're using private, home PCs but annoying especially as we're both premium members. Speaking for myself I only get it on Allakhazam EQ2, not EQ1 or FreeRealms.

Meh, I'll stick with adverts disabled... In a wierd way I would get into more trouble at work having 'Party Poker' pop up on screen that ****... something to do with them being one of our competitors...

If you go back and mentor for some of those zones/quests, you missed along the way, you're getting a HUGE AA exp bonus and I think they'd hit 150 AA before you could sneeze twice...now 150-200, may be a bit more difficult, but someone said 4 days for a wizard 80/200, I could believe that.
Couy@Nagafen wrote: No matter what. This is just so pointless. Why rushing to lvl80 in 7 hours. Having only 30 AA and so be totally useless and gimped. And then spending weeks wasting money on chronomaging each Tier getting your AA's up. It's much more effient. Not to mention. A lot less tedious and lot more fun. To spend a bit more time with leveling and keep your AA's up along the way. But that's just my 2 cents.
With the addition of the chronomancer, it is easier to go back and get the aa's imo. At 80, mentored to any level you will plow through quests faster seeing as you will kill it 10 times faster. /shrug Either way works. Fun is subjective

You missed the point... The guy did it as a sort of told-you-so esque way to show that you -can- level a toon really fast. People didn't read Calthine's post regarding the nature of the leveling? Besides, leveling 1-80 in 7 hours isn't hard. Getting the remaining 170 aa's? I'd bet money it was about another 13 hours of grinding if my math is right. Then you figure the epic quest? Oh no! 6 hours tops. Mythical? PUG it up in a couple nights. End result 80/200/Myth and some t4 patterns if you've bought some or an alt of a guild that can get them. Basically This "useless" toon is now better than most people's mains. In less than 1 week no less.
