Alternative Advancement System


The alternative advancement system is that “Additional non-level-based advancement options for those above level 50” that was one of the features of Everquest: Shadows of Luclin. It allows anyone who has purchased and installed Shadows of Luclin to further customize their high level (51+) characters.

Putting special points into different new Abilities does this.  In order to attain these points, you can toggle your experience into the alternative advancement pool. (This can be done by clicking on the Adv. button on the full screen inventory window on the higher resolutions.) When you do this, your experience will be allocated to this pool in lieu of your "leveling" experience bar. It takes about the same amount of experience to get one point as it does to level from 51 to 52. Switching between the two pools will not cause you to lose experience and experience loss due to death suffered by the character will be taken from the "Leveling" experience pool, but it will not impact your alternative advancement pool.

Everyone has the same general abilities that they can put points into starting at level 51.  At level 55 there are 7 different Archetype Abilities groups that can be used depending on what class you are. Then at level 59 each class has its own set of abilities that can be used.

Max - # is the number of levels you can go up in this;
Cost - # is the number of points it takes to go up a level

General Abilities: Max Increase – 5 or 3; Cost – 1

These can be done by all classes.  You need to spend a minimum of 6 points here before you can train any Archetype abilities.
