It's not nearly as common but I was wondering if anybody had tips/tricks/hints with soloing. Your carrying capacity is going to take a hit (Unless you're a mage, or have BoG I guess) so would it be better to carry heavier gear and prevent the hits, or lighter gear and more heals? Maybe class specific stuff, like good places to hunt (Any place where there are reasonable exp rates and where you can disarm pretty well)? Stuff like that.

Um... I don't think there's enough room on this board to answer that question. And I know I'm not taking the 3 hours it'd take to answer it fully... You might as well have asked "How do I play AA?" *grin*
Here's my tip/trick/hint.... Use your common sense. *grin* Kill things that don't smush you. Wigwog is just as much as exp as Blor... Carry enough heals to kill the kill, or kills in an area, that you're planning on killing. Running out is bad, but you can always get more, and if you have too many, you ain't gonna be able to carry any of the junk from the kills. Use eq that's light enough so that when you kill the kills, and use most of the heals you brought, you can carry most of the eq on the kills.
*shrug* Like I said, use common sense. Try it yourself, and find what works for you. Everyone's different. Did I mention using common sense? *ponder*

wigwog=9k, blor=7k if not stacked and is much harder, common sense is being blor's friend

Blor's a 7k ? *ponder* and to think that all those years, I always thought he was a 9k... and all the AA websites with npc listings on them call him a 9k too. Guess some people need to check their lists. And I need to pull a better npc for a hypothetical comparison out of my butt next time when I want to get the idea across of killing an easy 9k versus a hard 9k. And by the way, when did npcs start being worth base levels of 7k? always thought a lvl 19 was 9k, 18 was 6k, 17 was 3300, etc... (*grin* You nit-pick my post, I nit-pick yours!!! )

i know for sure that blor is lvl 19 npc
remember that the more a npc is killed the less exp it has next time it spawn.. as sinister wrote in some thread if u want the best exp of a npc.. kill right after boot
it's stupid for ie a effy player to kill npcs at end of a boot

I thought 9k was a rock-bottom and they only went up for each reset they survive? Or some of them did. *scratch*

unless they've stacked.. if i am tanking a party near drak towards the end of boot, i will always go check to see if monolith is open. everyonce in awhile, you get lucky and it's not open, ie the npc's inside are stacked because they haven't been killed in awhile.

i meant 6k yea, but i stand corrected, last couple times i killed blor i didnt get 9k for him, maybe i'm just dumb or had taggers and don't remember.
and peblo might have a point, or it might just be coincidence.
Name : oink Total XP : 9219 Time : 0 Mins
Name Lvl HP SP Line XP Share XP
Leader Taita 17 102 7 ON 100% 9219
Name : oink Total XP : 8899 Time : 0 Mins
Name Lvl HP SP Line XP Share XP
Leader Taita 17 71 9 ON 100% 8899
gotten in consecutive resets, xp lowered somewhat.

I think the base exp you'll get (as shown in a party) is 1/75 of the exp required to get to the level of the npc. If the npc is level 19, it takes 666,666 exp to get to level 19, and 1/75 of that is 8888.88. So, if you kill a level 19 npc just after it spawns, you should expect 8889 from it. If they've sat around a while, they've accumulated more exp and will be worth more.
At least, I think that's how it works.
