Latest revision as of 21:42, 9 June 2023
Here you will find a list that may save you some headaches. There are a number of AA's that may not do what you expect them to do because of your class or your experiences later in EQ's life. Remember bugged/useless AA's that existed on AK will likely remain that way on TAKP since AK gameplay is trying to emulated here.
