BAMs can be solo'ed. They do yield quite a bit of exp. I think it's worth it.

I don't think so. Pairing with a healer will make everything a lot faster.

If you mean playing as a healer, then it probably will. If any other class, then it's the same. HP regen crystals are enough to pull whole field of mobs. Zerkers/slayers/sorcs these day do most of quests in 1-3 pulls from very low levels (archers/warriors/lancer are fine too, but a bit slower), since they removed stupid agro limit (could agro only 6 normal mobs at the same time before F2P).
Also it depends on the people. Some people afk often, those endless smokebreaks and such stuff. Some are just terribad etc.
It also depend on your play style a lot. For some slowish and relaxed gameplay, it's fine in the most cases. But if you want to level faster, then it's: static party with skype/ts/mumble (so you won't waste time on typing in game)>solo>party with randoms.

Actually, it's the same for 60 and gearing/farming/etc.
Static party is the best obviously. But if compare PUGing for the instances or even making your own party in LFG chat with soloing easier instances for MES/MW alkanest, it'll be faster to solo ET or LoT than farming AC/MC/SG/etc with randoms.
It's unpredictable how good or bad your party will be, especially if you got it through LFD. Which means fails, wipes, lost of explaining, rage quitters and much more.



Not really, even for DPS with exp boost. It could be worth only if you're leveling an alt and make +9-12 weapon for the lulz. But overall, normal quests is the way to get it done. Or in some cases grinding mobs with 100% exp boost, like 54 to 58.

Actually, in Korea, they nerfed BAMs not long ago. HP, attack, removed or weakened special attacks and now they drop hp and mp spheres during fight. Guess why? Right, because no one bothered with them since game's release.
NA producer said they don't want to nerf those, though. And I think it's a right decision, leveling to 60 is a joke anyway, so if someone <probably new> will want some fun and challenge, he'll have it.

Is that really worth 250g? O_o
If it is, I would sell it since you will eventually get something better.

I had a gold earring drop. I could sell it for 250+g, or I could use it. (I'm an archer.) Would you guys recommend I use it, or just sell it on the AH?

Mystic Aura is double critical rate.
Some forum posts have suggested that critical rate is a direct 1:1 with your rating i.e. 40 rating is 40%. Crit defense modifies that rate multiplicatively but in some unknown manner. I think how levels, glyphs, and crystals factor in are also still unknown. Unfortunately, the community has done very little testing on this so there isn't much solid evidence.

Edit:
I take that back. The official forums are just utter shit for searching. A one year old thread has brought these formulas up:
Crit % = (Crit Rate / 10) + Carving crystal
Crit % from behind = (1.8 * (Crit Rate / 10) ) + Carving crystal + Castanic racial (if you're Castanic)
