It should be noted that reaching or exceeding 289 worn AC during Kunark as a Paladin or Shadow Knight is possible but not at all easy. Some high-level hybrids barely exceed 200. I focus pretty heavily on AC on my own Shadow Knight and sit at 264 worn AC, albeit I'd have somewhat more if I was either super rich (I'm not) or in a top raiding guild (I'm not). Somewhere in the 250-260 range should be sufficient to get you to 1100 displayed AC with standard buffs depending on your agility and what you consider "standard" buffs.

Did you ever try to measure the 900->1000 and 1000->1100 AC differences in a precise way?

I don't use log parsers if that's what you mean. I don't care enough to bother. I've done personal testing as well as tests with friends of a less precise sort but nothing I ever bothered to keep records of.

Reading the chart with the AC hard-cap by level...
If I'm understanding correctly, this means that the AC hard-cap is easily reached pre-level 50s. So, boosting AC will not matter much (in theory). All of this confusion was summed up in Lorraines post about this whole matter being very unclear.

That's right, in theory. In practice I don't know if AC even works the same on eq-emulator as it does on Live. Certainly it did not when P1999 first opened since it didn't work at all back then!
As they say, it's clear as mud. In the end, all you can really do if find what works for you and stick with it. Danth | ||

For what it's worth, I wouldn't further reference that AC post outside of the Kahvok quote and the information from that famous post on TSW.
I know I'm not providing much information here, and that's largely because I don't know how AC works on this server, but that post addresses LIVE and more importantly, has many unsupported points about LIVE. The big red flag for me is that the post was from Velious-era and it was answering questions that folks on TSW and SK.org didn't know the answer to years later. If you actually check the sources you'll see things such as Quote:
