Returning player with a quick question
Hi everyone, Returning after many many years of not playing retail. Played on Sullon Zek in the 2000s and P99 Red for a few years also.
Im playing Beastlord on FV and having a blast. Thank God for Gloomingdeep because i have been relearning so much of the old stuff and new stuff, this game is so different now! Anyways its been fun but i am playing on a free silver account. the Autogrant AA system basically gives you all the AAs for you level free if im understanding correctly, so would you all think its ok to stay free to play until my 50s and then upgrade to all access for AAs then?
thanks so much, -Lifty

You can probably play until the 70s or so pretty easily without AAs as a Beastlord. You can turn autogrant on as soon as you are a subscriber and will keep them all after you are no longer a sub. Autogrant currently goes to 105 for AAs.
There are a lot of other downsides to not being a sub at higher levels but that's the details on the AAs.
Thanks for the info. I will hold off then a bit longer. Been pretty smooth so far. Questing near crescent reach has been new and fun
You can't use gear with the "Prestige" tag on it as Free/Silver. Which doesn't appear outside of raids until Underfoot or House of Thule (and almost all augments.)
As you can imagine not having access to the top half of gear and all augments can pose a pretty big issue for higher level gameplay. Gear is not like AAs, if you unsub with it equipped you no longer get the stats, it can still be equipped, but it will turn yellow, which means it's giving you no stats.
Got it. Some nice guy was dropping all kinds of gear and augs by the bank yesterday l. I grabbed a few and definitely saw the prestige tag on the gems. Makes sense
