Though I’ve just been grinding AAs in EQ lately, I made two big discoveries recently.

First, the anniversary quests aren’t gone yet, even though the event has ended. This means I can keep doing at least the fishing one, for a pretty good amount of cash and a couple AAs for an hour or so’s work. I’m not sure if this is intentional or if it’s just because the servers haven’t been rebooted yet, so I’ll have to do it whenever possible in case it vanishes soon.

And I also remembered that I can give charmed pets weapons to make them dual-wield. This resulted in a huge increase in DPS when I tried it out on the fire goblins in Buried Sea, and now I can make 4-5 AAs per Lesson period instead of 3. It’s also riskier when charm breaks, of course, so I also have to be a lot more careful.

And speaking of AAs, I’ve bought up all of the ranks of Jewelcraft Mastery and Salvage, and one rank of the research mastery AA as well. I think I’ll finish off that one (15 more AAs to get the next two ranks), just so the important tradeskill AAs are completely over and done with, and then get back to leveling.
