Question - Mercenary AA xp

[Kokopelli2014]

Is there anything that affects how much xp flows to the mercenaries for AA xp? For example, setting toon's xp to more aa or more reg xp? Anyone have any advice on this?

I believe you just get what you get. Having a merc up lowers how much exp YOU get, but there's no way to affect the other way.

I believe that they get more xp when you've got lesson up, or an xp potion or other modifier.

Fair point well made. They get a %age of what you get, so if you have a modifier of some kind to get more exp then they'll get more too.

So what then if your toon is max xp and max aa except for merc aa's (have just 24 left to go and the bar has stopped moving altogether for days now? What can I do to get full merc aa? Load that merc up ?

In my case the last merc to max aa is the war and he only has 24 aa to go

It doesn't make a difference which merc you have loaded. You gain points just for having any merc out while gaining xp. DH HAs give great merc xp upon completion. I always make sure to have mine out when I hail Gribble at the end.

After experimentation, loading the particular merc that requires merc aa xp, will cause the xp bar for it to start ticking

That hasn't been my experience, but whatever works works. I run a healer with max aa while I put points into the tank.
