AA Abilities can be very confusing. In this guide Iwill go over the basics of AA's. Then I will go over each one in detail.

Titles:

You can acquire 3 titles according to how many AA's you have in a specific category. You must get these titles in order. For example you cannot become a Venerable until you are a Baron.

The titles are

Baron/Baroness
Venerable
Elder

Baron/Baroness requires 6 points spend in the general AA section.

Venerable requires 12 points spend in the Archtype category.

Elder is awarded when you spend 24 AA's in the Class category.

AA Abilities can be trained once you reach level 51. You can alot a certain percentage of your experience to AA's. To do this open you AA abilities window by pressing the V key. On the right will be a slider that you can move to choose the percentage of experience you want to spend on AA's. You can raise and lower this at any time.

Dying will not reduce the amount of experience you have gained in the AA advancement. Instead you will still lose experience from your level.

To train in an AA, you select the AA from the list the AA, and push the train button. You cannot get these points back if you change your mind so choose wisely.
