SNQs (Stoopit Noob Questions):
do Realm Abilities help in PvE or only in RvR? i.e. will taking the time to get some RPs (--> RAs) now in BGs (@ level 25) help me speed up regular levelling by making me more formidable in PvE?

Most if not all RAs help in PvE - normal stuff like Augmented stats, MCL etc definatly help in PvE and are not disabled if you attack a mob rather than a player.

Best example of this is MCL (Mystic Crystal lore - free mana every 5 mins) :

Caster A doesn't go to thidranki, doesnt get MCL and when he runs out of mana he has to rest for 2 mins to get the mana back equivilent to MCL.

Caster B goes to thidranki, gets MCL and when he runs out of mana he uses MCL, taking approx 10 secs (combat timer) to get the same mana back as caster A.

Therefore Caster B levels faster than Caster A, assuming all other things are constant (groups, camps etc).

Most Realm Abilities help in PvE as well. And getting some is a good way to help you level.
F.ex. casters can get rr1L3 in bg1 and get MysticCrystalLore1 which gives them back some mana every 5 min, making downtime less. Tanks could get augumented dexterity or strenght (increases the stat with 6pts/level) and such to make them more defensive/offensive.

nope, it doesn't

dieing by other realm players cost no exp (and no con loss either)

very cool
thanks for the help
sounds like BGs are a relatively risk-free way to gain power and glory (and speed up my level grind)

there's still some mobs running around in bg zones tho, so they not entirely safe from exp deaths (highest mobs con yellow to 24 as far as I know tho)

Just wanted to add that Guards of all kinds don't give xp death when you are killed by them, they count as enemy realm players iirc..
