Interesting LDoN Adventure Points informationFollow

Tonight I was told this by a friend of mine, and it wasn't something that I had ever heard before. However, he has a lot of experience in the game and I trust his information. But it's not something that is well known, or at least well publicized, from what I have read in my EQ research (which is often extensive when I am bored at work ).

Basically, the gist of it is this: you can use points from any LDoN adventure to buy an item in any other adventure, provided that you have earned at least that many points in that adventure first, at some point. For example, my friend had over 500 AP from several different LDoN locations, about 290 of them were in Mistmoore. He was able to buy two 250 AP items from Mistmoore, even though the conventional wisdom would be that you can only spend as many points as you currently have earned from that adventure.

This was complete news to me. Am I just totally out of the loop? I mean, this is a good thing--it means that once you have gotten a certain number of points from one location and bought something there, you don't have to keep doing that one over and over again to get an other item there...unless it costs more than the points you have earned there. And of course once you have 1500 AP in each adventure (piece of cake, right? ), then you never have to do a particular place ever again, and have the freedome to do any of them.

So, if everyone else knew this, then I apologize for this long post of obviousness. I guess it kind of becomes apparent once you have an overabundance of unspent points after buying something else first. But hopefully there are some people who were also unaware and this post will have given them some useful information. And of course if someone really thinks that this is totally untrue then I would like to know too.

The varying AP reward thing bugs me, and I can't figure out any system behind it.

I normally play with my wife, I 2-box a paladin/shaman, she plays her bard. The bard is 2 levels lower than my characters and she *always* gets 1 less AP then my characters.

I had THOUGHT the system was 1 AP every 5 levels past 20, as it was what I was getting every time (1 @ 20-24, 2 @ 25-29, 3 @ 30-34, etc), but her character is always 1 point behind, no matter what and will not get more points until I get more points. For example when I hit 30 I strarted getting 3, but she didn't get 3 until my characters hit 35 and started getting 4, despite her character being 32/33. Starting to **** her off :P

Also had one overly difficult adventure (Wasn't set to hard, I checked halfway through) in N Ro that got me 7 and her 6 when we were in our late 30's, then it went back to normal. No idea why.

As for the original post, yes, we figured that out after about 3 adventures :)

Well, I guess the reason I never noticed is because on Kane Bayle the only dungeon people seem to do, at least at lower levels, is Mistmoore. And the only things I've bought are a Dex charm for 6 points and now my Pack Shrew spell for 72. Since the only other points I have are 3 in Miragul's, I never had a chance to notice that I was able to buy something 3 points higher than I would have thought I could have after buying the charm. Oh, well, I know I'm constantly learning, thanks for being mostly nice about it.

One thing about the adventure points you earn--I believe that it is not only dependant upon your level, but also the average level of the party. For example, if you are level 35 and are the highest level iin the party, you might get 4 points for the adventure but if you are level 35 and are the lowest level in the party you might get 5 points. The other night, when I did 2 High Risk adventures, at level 40 and the highest level in the group, if I remember correctly on the first High Risk I got 6 points. I didn't ding, but some other people did, and on the second High Risk, with the exact same group and the exact same level mobs, I got 7 points...I think.

Anyway, someone will figure it out exactly someday. If someone were to keep a list of the exact party composition and the exact adventure level, and write down how many points each person got, then I bet it could be figured out without too much trouble. In fact, it probably already has, just maybe not on these boards.

To the question of the awarding of different amounts of points in the same group, The Highest level in the group gets 1 additional point then the rest. The lowest level get 1 less then the rest.
