EverQuest Ascendant! Just started in Feb

Yeah sorry about that, perky crew was mentioned in the quarm thread and got brought up again here but I dont think it has its own thread.

Ascendant is still early in progression at kunark with velious coming soon. You play a single class but can unlock any class AAs with specific tome drops which are completely rng, AFAIK there is no limit to the amount of power you can gain this way until you run out of AAs to unlock. But at first you are kinda weak but atleast you can at least farm xp for your own classes AAs.

Perky is through PoP but has a lot of "custom" content which are just cherry picked from much later expansions. It now has a level cap of 54 but all AAs are from scroll drops. You dont need specific class ones meaning you can just farm AA scrolls. You are capped though up to 3k AAs on your 3rd rebirth. Rebirths are the main gimmick here allowing you to unlock other classes AA lists. You are always your base class but each Rebirth adds another class to your available options, up to 4 total classes AAs available, again up to 3k total forcing you to pick and choose which ones you want. Gear is fucking insane here, with gem augs giving you many classes abilities and spells, and is clearly the main power creep, almost obsoleting the need to multiclass at all. Rebirthing is really about expanding your aa cap and unlocking a few choice AAs from other classes.

I believe you are allowed to box on either but I dont think its required, certainly not on perky

Honestly best advice for perky is to level to 35, unlock MMM and go farm plat you can make 10k from vendor trash in like 10 minutes, then hit the bazaar and just buy a ton of god-tier gear, level to 48 where you can wear everything then worry about rebirths and AAs and shit. I'm now farming AAs in PoI seems to be the best spot for it...

tbh though I will probably give ascendant another shot then prolly delete both of these. Neither one really understands the appeal of these things or the purpose of solo servers, it's not about leveling up or grinding the AAs out. Nobody's power fantasy is farming lguk for weeks "solo".

That's not the carrot. It's fucked up that THJ is the only ones who got this right and I don't understand how none of these people can figure this out. "the journey" is not the power fantasy, I don't want to spend weeks farming exp mobs for levels or AA whether random scrolls or class specific scrolls. The power fantasy is being strong enough to solo raids. I should be at level and AA cap in a day or two then you let me solo group/raid content. The gear that drops from the raids is the grind, letting me clear the hundreds of raid targets that are available in my own DZs hoping for a good drop at a good level while i'm slowly ranking up the gear that I wasn't lucky on getting the lego version of.
