		+	==Experience Tracks==
		+	One of the most personal concepts is where you decide to earn experience most frequently.
		+
		+	Good rules to follow when you go slaying are:
		+	Locate sources of experience that are moderately close together,
		+	don't fly from one side of the map to the other just because you
		+	know one place might be a good source of experience.
		+
		+	A good experience track takes you in sort of a circle around
		+	the world of Lost Souls. However linear tracks that perform
		+	sort of a sweeping motion around the world are also acceptable.
		+
		+	Form a habit of following a track that resets your alignment to
		+	the proper side at the end of the track.
		+
		+	Don't be afraid to revisit earlier areas you've used as sources
		+	of experience later on, in order to clear your kill log so that
		+	the new sources of experience you've found remain to give those
		+	rich chunks of experience.
		+
		+	Don't be afraid to take others with you, or even try to get others
		+	to take you with them. You earn bonus experience in groups based upon
		+	the amount of damage done to any given target. Often taking lower leveled
		+	players than yourself can result in you making additional experience just
		+	for them being there. Or if you're following someone else, you can learn
		+	of new places that could potentially be new sources of experience.

		+	==Adventuring Companies==
		+	Once you reach a desired level of comfort with running a xp track, it's most wise to create a advcompany.
		+
		+	Basically members of these companies share a portion of their experience points with all other members, this effect even takes place when a player is logged out. Upon logging in the built up portion is given to the player.
		+
		+	An active company can end up benefiting all members quite extensively.
		+
		+	Some general guidelines when trying to form and maintain a advcompany:
		+	Players inactive for 2 weeks or more should be kicked and replaced
		+	All players should share the same build style/alignment outlooks (this affects how effective the share ratio is for all members).
		+	All players should be roughly within the same level of each other, give or take 30-60 levels. This also affects the sharing ratios.
		+	The player with the highest leadership skill should be designated as the leader, and all other members should invest in the Subordination skill.
		+
		+	Keeping an active company is a quick method to make experience even when you're not at your computer or logged into the game.
		+
		+	Companies also encourage player based inclusion and communication, the sharing of ideas and concepts that can often be critical to learning and discovering new methods of personal advancement.
		+
		+	There also (at least to me), seem to be bonus experience rewards when grouping with members of your company.

		+
		+	Typically the best way to go about doing this is to set your combat mode to defensive until the desired level is reached.
		+
		+	The reasoning behind this is that if you have zero kills, you will not be eligible for experience based challenges. You will also stop getting quest challenges at 35% quest point completion. Once this happens you'll mostly get the intoxicated, skill experience, charity, and exploration.
		+
		+	By spending 50+ levels focusing strictly on developing skills, exploring and getting 35% of the quests done will end up saving you a lot of headaches later on. This is because after 50 levels you've now earned 250 attribute points, will have explored a significant amount of the mud, which is often used to calculate some things for in-game content.
