Its hard to calculate by how much but it was mentioned earlier that regular equipment can give you lets say 100 agility (71 base + 29 equipment) and AE can also give you 100 agility (68 base + 32 equipment). Regular equipment gives you the opportunity to use the BT's on SP's to raise that category. Thus 100 agility with regular equipment>100 agility with AE equipment because having the higher base will raise the effectiveness of SA's and also give a little bit more from VA's (not much but .45 more). Add in the fact that intense training>regular training and 100 agility with reg equip is definitely better than 100 agility with AE.
The +SA modifiers or % modifiers do make the piece of equipment better, but at what point does searching for the right piece of equipment outweigh the benefit of having AE.
I think we can all agree that if you got the perfect piece of equipment the first time you went shopping then AE>regular equip. Someone should do some math and figure out after how long of having to train on normal and shop is AE no longer worth it (assuming you hold out for a +3 stat +1 SA/+% piece of AE).
Why does it have to be 68 base on AE and 71 base on normal. Why cant it be 71 base on both, and thus 103 > 100
I'm not positive, but I think the difference between 68 and 71 may have been made up by getting the skill points from the temporary token boosts.
Unless you are straight caping something to 68, you can achieve both if you manage your player well. Save your BT for AE but at the same time, when you can rach a cap a level earlier to gain the bonus from a natural level gain, use it.
This is the most efficent way to build.
Those extra skill points from BT go somewhere and they would allow you to have a higher base, whether its 71 base to 68 or 77 base to 74 base.
