Why you should only buy the King's Bounty

Just a quick post to educate the new player to why you should save your AP to buy only the King's Bounty.

Many players buy the lower level AP rewards because they either don't know any better or are too impatient to wait to gather 10 thousand AP.  The lower level rewards occasionally throw out a planet coin but in general you will receive crafting materials for items you wouldn't want to craft in the first place. Popinjay's Footwear which has stats of 70 att, 70 def, 60 perc.  You can get better boots than this by hitting any number of raids.

The kings bounty will also give you some pretty bad gear but with a huge silver lining. Here is the list of items in the King's Bounty which unlike the lower level rewards are all unique.

The Red Prince's Legplates - (Pants) (95A, 95D, 95P)
The Red Prince's Cuirass - (Chest) (95A, 95D, 95P)
Avenger of the Realm - (Main Hand) (200A, 80D)
Defender of the Realm - (Off Hand) (80A, 200D)
Henchmen - (Legion) (3 Generals: Intellect; 16 Troops: Strength; Power Bonus: 200)
Once you have all 5 of these items you are guaranteed to get 150 planet coins each time you cash in 10 thousand AP.  It is possible to get 150 PC before getting the 5 items above but I wouldn't count on it as that seems to be a very rare occurrence.

Now when you first start playing 10k AP may seem a very long way off but eventually it will roll in pretty fast and then you can use your new found PC riches to buy some gear that is actually worth it.

New chart and more to come

With leon being down I am working on getting up some charts that people use regularly.  If there is something in the game that you need info on comment on it here and I will do my best to post it.

I have just added a chart that has the ap and 2 epics damage required for non guild non tiered raids.  I will add the guild raid chart separately.
