Advice please

So, I after trying five different alts and working I have finally gotten my Rogue up to 86 with a little over 1800 AA. I am thinking about making the move to either 90 or 91 (probably 91 so I can start working on Alaran stuff).

I have a couple questions before I make the move to level and here is my magelo for reference: http://eq.magelo.com/profile/1920545.

1. Are there any AA's in this list I should max before leveling?
- Yes I know that I should not have purchase Finishing Blow AAs.

2. Does anyone recommend a zone to farm AA's at 90/91 solo/molo if I do not have the time to find a group?
- I know I can farm a little in Fort Mech and some of the mobs would be able to be Assassinated.

3. If the recommendation is to stay at 86/87, does anyone recommend a zone other than Thal to farm in? I get around 20% per kill, and one wing usually repop's before I can finish the whole wing, but if an SK comes in I lose the whole zone..

4. Any other advice that I might not have asked a question on?

Thank you in advance.

1. CA/CS, Burst of Power, Armor of Wisdom, Extended Ingenuity, Enhanced Thief's Eyes, Flurry, Massive Strike, Precision, Twinproc Twisted Shank. And finishing blow is just fine.
2. Bloody Kithicor/Old Commonlands/Field of Scale
3. Do the other wings/underwater areas
4. Start fewer threads

1. I would keep anatomy maxed as you level, and all the passive dps aa's that you feel like doing. IMO, i would leave all of the other activated stuff and defensive aa's until you get 95, as you have a solid base already.
2. I did Thal also, until 90. At 90 I liked old commonlands because no one was ever there. Then from 91-95 I did kurns tower instance, and switched to library instance at 95.
3. If you prefer to grp, then I say go to the lvl cap, as it's always easier to find a grp there. If you prefer to solo, stop at whatever lvl you find a camp you enjoy and stay there until you don't' enjoy it anymore
4. Enjoy the best class in EQ!

1) CA/CS is necessary to solo constantly, but I group so I stopped leveling that at like 8 or 9 ranks each. Maxed Anatomy, cleric merc now and then to keep me healed, and just found the highest teal I could take on. But having great armor for the level meant I needed less defense AA. I always recommend Precision/Precise Strikes because they were some of the strongest DPS per AA when they first came out. Massive Strike I think outweighs them now, but they are still potent. I'm also strange in liking Enhanced Thief's Eyes for group work, since it upgrades the old aura from 5% to 15% accuracy (15% chance to turn a miss into a hit, so less effect against low AC mobs); again, it's powerful in a group setting, and less so when soloing since you will be aiming for things that are assassinatable.

2) old blackburrow from the time the mobs turn teal til you can move up to Kith/FoS/or Kaesora Library. beware the undead gnolls, but everything else is an easy target. I liked the ledge camp, over the brewer.

3) what crillin said

4) other advice? hmm, stab stuff till it dies is my best advice. get two good daggers, since Scout's Piercing Mastery will make the ratio better. Cultural weapons rock if you can get them and the symbols. If you enjoy progression tasks, get a group and work on them constantly. The exp can add up, and being able to get into places like Sactum Somnium is a good thing; plus it means less boring grinds later when you want to go to those locked zones. And save tradeskill stuff, or send it to me.
*edit*
Oh, FV server. that changes my advice a little. Cultural armor AND the cultural raid augs. You might not be able to buy/trade for the top tier raid armor (or maybe you can, I don't remember SoF armor that well) but sometimes those cultural raid augs go to waste; so get them cheap. On the 5 tier expansions, they work out to be between tier 2 and 3 raid armor for h/m/e and ac. But I would recommend sticking with non-cultural raid BP (for the clicky/focus) and at least getting non-cultural pants (even group ones for summon poison clicky). I can't speak to what those would be priced on FV, but consider non-raid armor (since I don't see a lot of type 8 augs on you) for some parts. http://eq.magelo.com/item/120920 is top tier HoT group armor, it might be available to you, and the small AC upgrade comes with a huge HP upgrade once you level a bit.

All, apologize I have much better gear. I thought it was updated when Magelo said sync successful. I have mostly recondite gear. Will work on getting it corrected and repost it.

All,

Magelo is now upgraded:

Reposted link just in case. Sorry that it took far too long.

Right now I have been bouncing back and forth between Katta and Thal. I am going to try Fort Mech, just to see if I can assassinate there.

Until then, thank you in advance for any advice.

Level up to 89 in thal then max out your useful AA's and fill up your AA bank before you level. All the non-experimental kedge go green at 90. Get a solid 50% buffer then move to FoS. Focus on Anatomy, Etherium Blades and Scout's Mastery Piercing.
