-For a fee, you can magically make any character become either level 85 (~$35?) or 100 (~$40?). This is supposed to give you about 1000 AAs and bring all your skills up to what is normal for characters of that level.

I've done it to 100, it's great, and you get every slot outfitted with [http://morelight.org/index.php?title=Gearing_Up#Consigned_Gear Grandiose Consigned Gear] - but no Augs.

 === AAs ===
-I was already 50 before I realized that even with a free account, I was entitled to Lesson of the Devoted (extra XP for ~30 minutes a day) and some other AAs. I had to scroll through them all to see which ones I could buy. The great news is that AAs come really fast. I read that there is a multiplier that scales from something like 500x to 1x as you get your first 500 AAs, to help characters not be so squishy and ineffective. There's also an autogrant feature, but that's only for paid accounts.

That's a LOT of catching up!

 === UI Changes ===
 I see strange new windows, like the Extended Target window. I guess this is pretty useful on raids, but it seems to just take up space for now.
