== AAs == [[File:Mercenary AAs.jpg|right|thumb|Sample mercenary AAs.<br />(Image: Sony Online Entertainment)]] The ''[[Call of the Forsaken]]'' expansion introduced Mercenary Alternate Advancements (AAs). {{Cquote|Normally when a mercenary joins your group, it takes a portion of your experience gains from the party. In the past, this experience just went away. In Call of the Forsaken, your mercenaries are finally putting that experience to use. Experience gains taken by a party’s mercenaries will now go towards unlocking Mercenary AA Points. These points and abilities will be stored upon your character, and will be available to all of your mercenaries.||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/call-of-the-forsaken-mercenary-alternate-advancement-and-equipment.203910/ Call of the Forsaken: Mercenary Alternate Advancement and Equipment, October 1, 2013]}} {{Cquote|We have noticed a few questions on how your character’s experience affects the Mercenary’s AAs, so we have added more tips inside the game to make sure you know how it works. If you use your Mercenary, you can gain experience to use towards your Mercenary AAs. If you don’t use your Mercenary, you gain nothing towards Mercenary AAs. If you use an experience potion, your Mercenary also benefits from that increase to gain more experience and thus earn AAs faster.||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/november-producers-letter.205020/ November 2013 Producer's Letter]}} {{Cquote|<br /> - Increased the cap on banked Mercenary AA experience points to one-half of your current level, every 10 levels, starting at level 50 (up from 10 at level 50, 15 at level 80, and 20 at level 100.)||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-october-20-2021.278181/ Game Update Notes: October 20, 2021]}} {{Cquote|<br /> It's correct that the mercenary "takes" a portion of the group experience in a similar way that having another person in the group would "take" a portion. A mercenary's experience comes from the group split, not you directly in the way that enabling personal AAs subtract from your base experience. For non-kill sources such as the achievements [and quests] referenced above, my original statement applies that the experience they receive doesn't subtract from the experience you receive. If you don't have a mercenary hired (suspended or active), you're missing out on free experience that they would receive from that particular achievement. ||| [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/request-toggle-for-merc-xp.278533/page-2#post-4076837 Meeko, EQ Developer, November 4, 2021]}}
