Logged in a secondary character this evening that I haven't played in probably 6 months, and got this:

Welcome back! Here's some long-term experience boosts to help perk up your day! You have been awarded 50 Long-Term Experience Boosts! You may use the BOOST command to access this reward!

O.o

Might need to start playing him again.

Heh, there's a whole thread of me complaining about them on the officials b/c I have limited playtime. I know. Still not a bad way to get a secondary character exp and then get him closer to level even though you don't play him often.

They're fantastic for Reim and Duskruin.

@sabotage I must disagree. As Mogonis mentioned they're fantastic for Reim and Duskruin, but they are also great when you are chaining bounties back to back. And then you get the benefit of increased offline absorption and also a slight increase in online absorption unless you're in your lumnis period. I try to always have some long-term exp in the bucket. Sure you sacrifice some exp in the beginning, but the long-term benefits more then make up for it.

Long-Term Boosts are good for hunting as a Sorcerer for necro juice, and I'd imagine useful for Wizards hunting for their infuse mana. I also use them when doing bounties and i'm fried before completing them.

Don't but my statement!

The long term pool is another bucket you can absorb XP from. It speeds leveling, it's amazing

I had like 35k exp in long-term from Reim and Duskruin before I deactivated in April. I came back and used a bunch during Duskruin again. I still have 7k left to absorb. It's basically exp you never would've realized.

I'll add another + for long term experience. If you're someone who likes to hunt till encumbered, they're particularly nice.

The only way to cap hunt!

I've been hunting like that since 1998!

Only way to Cap hunt is to group Reim!

Group Reim is rough for me, I like SoS!

I'd freak out at the screen scroll. I like to see what's going on.

alas, long term boosts don't help wizards with infuse mana. Sorcs get the juice when they kill, Wizards when they absorb, and long-term is excluded.

Geez... and I would have to imagine XXX doesn't mean it collects 3/2 times faster?

Damn, all I meant is that some long term exp boosts wouldn't get me to start playing a character again.
