Everquest 2 Guide: The Lowdown on Crusader Achievement Points

In some games, it can be hard to differentiate from other characters of the same class. But some MMORPGs have a system set up, to help specialize your class. In Everquest 2, you achieve this by gaining Achievement points. This is similar to a system used in World of Warcraft, called the Talent system.

However, the World of Warcraft Talent system works very differently from the Achievement system. Later on in the game, you will gain an additional experience bar. You fill this bar by achieving special events. These range from killing special monsters to finding new locations. Every time you fill the bar with experience, you will get one point to use.

The Achievement trees are split up into two different sections. One section is specific for the class, and one for the subclass. For the Crusader classes, there is a tree for the Paladin and a tree for the Shadowknight. Then there is a tree that both of them have, the Crusader tree, which is what this article will focus on.

In the Crusader tree, there are five different paths you can take, each one based on one of the five stats. There is a single ability that you have to put a point into to be able to put points into the paths. The paths have a tier system, making it so you cannot put points into an ability unless you put enough into the previous ability.

Each tree (this is another word for path; In this case, they mean the same thing) has a title used to describe it. This title is also used to label the tree. In addition to that, you will gain that title if you put points into each ability in that tree.

The Strength tree is called the Avenger tree. After the first ability, which increases your Strength (this is common to each tree; the first ability will increase the stat it is based on), you will get a combat art that increase your attack speed with an axe if it hits, an ability that improves your base attack speed, an ability that increases the hate gained from enemies, and finally an ability that improves all of your casting and recovery times. This tree is useful for making a fast, quick hitting Crusader.

The Agility tree is called the Cavalier tree. The Cavalier tree will, after the Agility increasing first ability, give you a spear attack that does more damage from horseback, an ability that gives your auto attacks a chance to hit multiple targets, which has a better chance of occurring from horseback, an ability that increases defense, and gives the Cavalier a chance to resist knockdown effects while on horseback, and finally, a spear attack that will snare and damage the enemy if done on horseback. If your Crusader is effective on horseback, then the Cavalier tree is the one for you.

The third tree is the Stamina tree, called the Champion tree. After the first ability, you will get an area affect knockdown, usable with hammers only. After that, you will get an ability that increases your critical hit chance, an ability that increase your health, and finally, an ability that will absorb most damage for ten seconds. This tree is very versatile in nature, making it useful for soloing Crusaders.

The Wisdom tree is called the Knight tree. The Knight tree will give you an ability that increases your wisdom, a group buff that increases slashing damage for the group, which is only usable while equipping a sword. After that, you will get an ability that increase the fighting and casting abilities of your group, an ability that increase your groups in combat health regeneration, and finally, an ability that gives you immunity to fear, and buffs your group in a huge variety of ways. This makes the Knight an effective group character.

The Intelligence tree is called the Legionnaire tree. After the first Intelligence increasing ability, you will get a damage spell that will only work if you have a symbol in your off hand, an ability that increases you spell critical hit chance, an ability that increases your healing critical hit chance, and finally, an ability that will reflect a spell cast on you, if you have a symbol equipped. These make the Crusader an effective caster, and help you to utilize that side of the class.

However you wish to play your Crusader class, there are trees in the Achievement systems that are suited for your play style. So choose your specialization, and good hunting.
