Now, as far as I know, AAXP is indeed calculated in the exact same way as normal experience above; however, whereas for normal experience the amount of EXP you need gets higher and higher every level, for AAXP you always need the same amount to get 1 AA point. It's just that depending on your level and the levels of the mobs you are killing, you can get it faster in certain places than others...just like normal EXP, but it can be much more noticeable.

AAXP is indeed calculated in the exact same way as normal experience above; however, whereas for normal experience the amount of EXP needed to gain a level gets higher every level, for AAXP you always need the same amount to get one(1) AA point. The amount of AAXP needed for one AA point is equivalent to leveling from levels 51 to 52.
 
=== Group Level Range Calculation ===
What is the maximum level a player can group with and still recieve EXP?
 
<math>MAX=\frac{lvl}{2} + 1 + lvl</math><p>
Note: Division is always rounded up.<p>
 
 
For example, a lvl 46 can group with:<p>
<math>\frac{46}{2} + 1 + 46 = 23 +1 +46 = 70</math>
 
==Weapons==
=== Bow Range and Damage Calculations===
Total Range = Bow Range + Arrow Range
Total Base Damage = Bow Damage + Arrow Damage
 
===Haste Calculations===
There are basically 4 types of haste. Only the maximum of each type will be added into your total haste.  
*Type I: Item Haste(This includes tribute)
*Type II: Spell Haste
*Type III: Overhaste(Mostly bard, althought some BST spells too)
*Type IV: Bard speciality overhaste.
 
== Class Specifics ==

===How many pets a Necro can have?===
Necro's start with a standard spell caster pet.
The [[combat ability]] to wake the dead, can raise one pet from one corpse.
The level 68 AA [[Army of the Dead]] which raises 3 pets at level 1, and has three more levels which add 1 pet each. Army of the dead and wake the dead are on the same reuse timer and can not be used at the same time.
[[Swarm of decay]], a level ?? AA, adds one archer per AA level with a maxumum of three levels.
The Necromancer's epic clicky pet is a big red skeleton. <br>


ingame, hit "shift T" to bring up the title window.
So in a battle a necro with all the AA's maxed could have 11 pets up at once as follows;


== bow damage ==
*1 standard pet
* total range = bow range + arrow range
*6 army of the dead
* total base damage = bow damage + arrow damage
*3 swarm of decay
*1 epic pet


== Audio Triggers ==
The army of the dead, swarm of decay and epic pets despawn rather quickly and are "dumb" pets that are unable to be commanded. [[Suspend minion]] allows a pre-cast pet to be put aside for later use, the pet is not seen, nor can it be used.
 
== Special Commands ==
=== Audio Triggers ===


Audio triggers are sound effects that are played when certain patterns appear in the chat window. You can make audio triggers to play any sound you want when something you want to be sure not to miss appears in the chat window. This might be /tells from specific friends, certain buffs fading, or any other event you can think of that has a text message associated with it. The window used to configure your Audio Triggers can be accessed via the EQ button -> Actions -> Audio Triggers.

== How many pets a Necro can have? ==
=== Veteran rewards ===


Necro's have a standard pet which is always around. Then there is wake the dead, which raises one pet from one corpse. Also there is Army of the dead which raises 3 pets at level 1 it has three levels which add 1 pet each. Army of the dead and wake the dead can not be used at the same time. Then there is swarm of decay which adds archers one per level up to three. Then there is the epic pet a big red skeleton. Also there is suspend minion, only that pet is in a pocket and not seen.
Veteran rewards are bonuses given to long time players of Everquest. For every year of paid play time a new reward is unlocked. Some rewards are of dubious value and some are simply whimsical. To check which rewards you are entitled to, type > '''/played''' <.<br>
*Year 1: Lesson of the Devoted-double experience - Buff slot - duration 30 mins - Reuse Timer 1 day
*Year 2: Infusion of the Faithful-maxxed stats and resists (to individual caps), slightly increased Runspeed  - Buf Slot - duration 15 mins - Reuse Timer 1 day
*Year 3: Chaotic Jester-summons an halfling that randomly casts illusions, food ([http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=64044 Lucy Link]), drink ([http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=64046 Lucy Link]), can heal or give mana - duration 30 mins - Reuse Timer 1 day - As a matter of etiquette ask your groupmates if they would mind the Jester's presence.
*Year 4: Expedient Recovery-summons all corpses and gives 100% rez for all corpses with rez timers - Reuse Timer 7 days
*Year 5: Steadfast Servant-summons an imp that heals and casts an AC and Haste buff - duration 30 mins - Reuse Timer 1 day
*Year 6: Staunch Recovery - full health and mana recovery (mana not for Bards it seems though) - Reuse Timer ?
*Year 7: Intensity of the Resolute-Increased chance of crits - Duration ? - Reuse Timer ?


So in a battle a necro with all the AA's maxed could have 11 pets up at once as follows;
As of the [[Prophecy of Ro]] expansion(April 19th, 2006 patch message[http://everquest.allakhazam.com/news/sdetail7237.html?story=7237]), all reuse timers have been shortened by four(4)hours.


*1 standard pet
=== Titles ===
*6 army of the dead
*3 swarm of decay
*1 epic pet
 
PS: army of the dead, swarm of decay and epic pet despawn rather quickly and are dumb pets that you can't command to attack.
