Want to be able to AA or XP grind while AFK? Well, there's an easy way to do it. You just need access to two accounts. This works best with pet classes, but it's not needed. Here's how:

1. On account one Hire the highest level Warrior (tank) Merc you can.

2. On account two Hire the highest level Cleric (healer) Merc you can.

3. Go to a zone with KoS Green-Con (or light blue if you want to risk it) mobs.

4. Set yourself up in a spot where when mobs pop you will agro them. I wouldn't plop down in the middle of a group, but a spot with a lot of roamers and/or fast respawn timer.

5. Go to bed.

Here's what will happen. Mobs will agro you. Warrior Merc will taunt and tank it. Cleric Merc will heal the Warrior Merc (and you if needed). If you have pets, make sure Pet Hold is Off and they will add to the DPS as well. Now you can go to sleep, and wake up with some AAs, never having had to touch MQ2.

If you want to use MQ2 with this, you can always have your favorite puller Macro set up and then MQ2AASpend to really get the most out of this. Enjoy the easy AAs!
 
hehe ive been doing a version of this... i have certain zone i like where i have my lvl 60 shaman running shambot and have a tank merc.... turn the mac on for the tank and they sit in the middle of the room where the roamers love to go aggro shammy tank merc kills and then shammy mac im using even loots... so i am actually waking up with more pp than i started with... getting about 30-45 aas a day...
 
I've been doing this for a while with some of my lower level alts and shrouds. Does anybody have any suggestions on a good place to do this with level 85s for AAs? I'm looking for a low traffic place a little out of the way where I'm not likely to get noticed/trained.

Also, in case of death I like to run this little macro to camp me out if I zone. That way I can rez up when I come back to the computer.

Rich (BB code):
Sub Main
	/declare OriginalZoneID int
	/declare CurrentZoneID int
	/varset OriginalZoneID ${Zone.ID}
	/echo StayInZone started, original zone: ${OriginalZoneID}
	
	:Again
		/varset CurrentZoneID ${Zone.ID}
		/if (${CurrentZoneID} != ${OriginalZoneID}) /camp desktop
		/delay 45s
	/goto :Again
/return
 
I have been doing afk merc exp w/out any MQ or programs in Dreadspire Keep in the undead camp close to the zone out to level up my little ranger (about half a level of reg exp per night in the low 70's if lucky). However, when the named spawns it's too much for my t5 tank merc and t5 cleric merc to handle when combined with 2-3 other light blue undead that spawn in the camp.

I did this until one night my corpses rot and I lost full exp on a few toons when I woke up hours later.

If anyone has a suggestion where is a good safe place to get green/light bllue afk merc exp please post with your suggestions. I am struggling finding a new (semi safe) spot.

Slow safe exp is ok cause any exp while I sleep is good!
 
Katta Castrum, I like to clear a pad and space out the spawns even if it means let them beat on me for a while to break spawns up and just park my toons on a pad of a dozen pops.

Also TBS has tons of wandering mobs and tightly packed locations.
 
COD, hotzone as well, cpl areas in the rats you could setup, works even better with 3 accts running, 2 merc, 1 cleric, you can wake up and have 6aa waiting, nice and safe if not fast
 
Anyone have any suggestions where a 66 Necro and a 74 Magi could do this? I don't even have the expansion yet because I was playing on test, but just moved back to reg servers an need expansion anyways.
 
So green mobs give exp now? And yes, I've been away for the past 2 years. So, what are grey cons? When I left it was this:

1) Green=no exp
2) Lite blue="fat chance in hell you get any exp...but slightly possible"
3) Dark blue=vanilla exp
4) White (even con)=good exp
5) Yellow=good exp
6) Red=best exp

What does this table look like now? I heard green=exp and grey=exp. I have yet to con something and see grey. Though I haven't looked at the lower zones much yet. Been mostly doing yard trash in FoS inching my way up to 85.
 
its now like this
1) Grey=no exp
2) Green=little exp
3) lightblue=better exp then green but not 2 much
4) dark blue= better exp then the lb and green
5) white= Same as befor, pretty good just hits harder
6) yellow=same as befor just hits alot harder
7) red=same... just hits a F ton harder
 
What is the best way to get into Dreadspire Keep since /zone does not work ? none of my toons can get in through Stoneroot. any info would be cool.
