I hit level 77 in EQ fairly quickly today, and the new spells are pretty decent, with upgrades to tash, haste, and a new charm. I also bought upgrades to the Clinging Root and Mez Mastery AAs, putting me back down at 14 AA points.
The exp is still pretty good at the fire goblin camp, so I’m going to have to decide whether to keep exping there, or start exploring a bit more, with the new charm opening up more possibilities. Either way, I think I’ll first max out my AAs again before hitting level 78, while the xp is still good.
