Spreadsheets Original Spreadsheet Cost Tables 9999 8888 AA Name Expansions

If you need to know the /alt activate ### for an activated AA, it's the number before the name. Just make sure that the particular number is for your class, as some AAs have different numbers for different classes or sets of classes.

Spreadsheets

Newest version is AA3.

There are several spreadsheets available. The original contains all the data, and no formulas. It is editable by anyone, and hopefully those who edit the AA_Costs_? wiki pages will also update this spreadsheet.

AAWikiFormulaCost2b is non-editable and shows the basic idea of the wiki conversion spreadsheet. Finally, AAWikiFormulaCosts2a lists the formulas used in Excel format. Note, that the formulas use a tilde ~ character instead of the Alt+Enter key sequence in the displayed spreadsheet to make it more visibly appealing, and clear as to where such line feeds need to be placed. Feel free to use these.

A few notes about the resulting wiki format from the use of the formulas:

• There are several character sequences which must be replaced, as follows:
• "" needs to be changed to "
• "° needs to be changed to a null string
• °" needs to be changed to a null string
• '! needs to be changed to !
• In plain words, a double double-quote needs to be changed to a single double-quote, an aprostrophe plus exclamation mark needs to be changed to a single exclamation mark, and a double-quote plus degrees symbol (may appear different here and in varying programs, but should be a degree symbol in Excel and EditGrid spreadsheets) and a degree symbol plus double-quote both need to be deleted.

Cost Tables

Tables needing basic editing look like this one:

9999

AA Name

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26	27	28	29	30	31	32	33	34	35	36	37	38	39	40
Cost
Lvls
Exp.

Tables that have the basic editing done, but in complete, look like this:

8888

AA Name

Ranks: # :: Cls :: Passive or Active: Refresh 9:99:99
Requires: AA Name Rank 1
AA Description text.

Rank	1	2	3
Cost	4	8	12
Lvls	59	66	71
Exp.	3	8	12

Note, Ranks: # is the maximum rank as of the current expansion, namely Underfoot, as of this writing. Cls is a list of 3-letter class abbreviations that get this particular AA ID. Note that some AA Names have multiple and differing AA IDs for specific classes or sets of classes. Passive or Active is as listed in-game in the AA window with corresponding Refresh time for Active AAs. AA Description text is the in-game description text in the AA window.

Requires: AA Name links to the appropriate AA_Costs_? page and #number, if there is a previous AA purchase requirement.

Cost row describes the cost in AAs to buy that Rank. In the above example, it takes 4 AAs to purchase the first rank of AA ID 8888, and 8 more AAs to purchase the second rank, and 12 more for the third. Lvls row describes the minimum level required to purchase the particular AA Rank. Exp. row describes the Expansion required to purchase the particular AA Rank. Refer to Expansions table below to see the list of numbers, expansion names, and links used in the tables.

If there have been extensions to an AA in the past few expansions, you may want to leave and appropriate number of blank cells for the next few expansions. However, there should be no need to extra blank columns for an AA line that has not been extended since The Serpent's Spine expansion or previously, as it is unlikely any new extensions to that line will be made.
