Invoking! Is this correct?

So a buddy of mine and I have found that....
When you Invoke the gods ONLY the first 3 times in a day will you get AD that you can refine? People are stating that you can refine 24K AD/day from invoking but I don't see how they are getting that many.
Correct?

Then your character is a fool....
What rewards you get for invoke are random. So you simply got lucky for the first 3 invokes then where unlucky. Remember you have a chance to get the Ardent coin I think it is every time you invoke as well and look at how often one of those shows up.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
You can also get AD from doing dailies. You can get it from doing skirmishes during the 1 hour event time. Invoking, some professions jobs and some loot drops in a few quests. You can also get refined diamonds by trading in idols that drop from the locked boxes, (40,000 per) from selling items on the broker and from people tipping your awesome foundry quests.
All die, so die well.
There is some randomness in the rewards (you might get a random potion and you will get a random buff), but you only get AD the first 3 times you invoke per day (I'm not sure what constitutes a new "day" - when I invoke early in the morning Eastern Time I'm actually invoking for the prior day). Also you get an ardent coin and a celestial coin the first time you invoke in a "day" - as mentioned above, the new day seems to start either late morning or early afternoon Eastern Time.
I haven't bothered keeping records since, but I Invoke consistantly on all my characters. First invoke of the day gives coins, AD, XP, and a buff. 2nd and 3rd invokes (1 hour later for each) give AD, XP, and buff. Every invoke after that gives a buff and sometimes a potion. Every day, on all six characters. It's really not all that random.
Leveling, in my opinion, is already hella fast and I've gotten nearly 4 levels just from invoking. Toss in the 2 XP boosters from the catastrophe pack and all I'll need to do is sneeze and I'll be max level.
The first time is 100% chance. Then it goes down to like 90, 70, 50, 30, 10... you get the idea.
Giggle.....
I have gone up two levels with a charter by loging in and invoking...
Whats up with that?
AD (100% first invoke, but random amount, each additional invoke has a lower chance, BUT also can never be as high an amount as any 1 invoke that came before it that day)
coins (1 a day, each) (I NEVER got more than 1 ardent, even with some days invoking 12+ times on 1 toon)
potions/other (not sure)
The AD is not random, it's a set amount based on your level bracket (my lv30-39 characters get the same amount every day. When they hit 40 it goes up, and then stays there til they hit 50). The second and third invokes each day give 2/3rds and 1/3rd of the original amount.
(Only difference is the absolute first time you invoke, they give you 1450 if I recall correctly.)
The xp you get is a set amount, directly related to your level. (My lv33 character got the same amount every day, when she hit 34 it went up 40xp, and was equal to the amount my other lv34 character was getting.) The xp gained is halved for each of the next two invokes. (So, if you got 1000xp on the first, the second would be 500xp, and the third is 250xp.)
Not random. The amount of AD rewards for invoking is now (and has been for a while) based on the level of the character doing the invoking. At least as long as I've been playing. And as others have said, you only get AD the first three invokes of the day. Again, it varies by level but the second and third invoke generally give 2/3 and 1/3 of the first invoke.
*LOL, kiralyn beat me to it. I type to slow.*
What I have observed:
The first invoke per "day" (it varies WHEN this is and I cannot figure out why, perhaps the first time that character prayed ever??) grants you a bunch of AD and your coins.
After that, it *seems*, from a tinfoil hat perspective that if you have ANY of the invoke prayer "buffs" active, it just gives another buff. If your buffs are expired, you have about a 50-50 chance at a smaller amount of AD (about 1/2 of the first time roughly). This makes log in and out fast just to pray less profitable. Best to play a bit on each character as you go.
But that is not absolute, I know sometimes I have a buff active and it gives AD, but the characters that have no buff at all get them more often.
As for getting AD per day, leadership quests & dailys give you AD. To get 24k a day takes a lot of work, half that is more reasonable for someone playing the actual game rather than farming the game.
Its a lot more efficient to farm in parallel with a bunch of characters than to try to hit the cap on ONE. That is, I can make 50k on 5 characters easier than capping 2 characters, a LOT easier...!!
I've been invoking on six+ characters for weeks. Several of them, I just log into, invoke, refresh crafting, and log out (I concentrate on actually questing with only one or two at a time). So I know that having an active buff doesn't effect what you get next. I've had characters with up to four buffs active simultaneously, it doesn't change anything.
First invoke of the "day" - 1 ardent coin, 1 celestial coin, "Full" AD value (based on level bracket), "Full" XP value (based on level), a buff.
Second invoke - 2/3rds of the full AD, 1/2 of the full XP, buff
Third invoke - 1/3rd of full AD, 1/4 of full xp, buff.
Four+ - buff
Every single time. The only random event is whether you get a potion or not.
(and yes, I spent a week writing down all the numbers on six characters, for three invokes a day. The only thing that ever changed the numbers I got was when they gained levels.)
Pretty dumb to be an atheist in this game. Clearly the god in this game DOES do something.
Athiests can just consult the aliens for their AD and buffs. "Yo ET! A little help here?!"
Clearly an in-game atheist is like a Real Life theist: dogmatic positive belief in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. An odd role-playing choice for sure.
hahaha Yup
"GOD DOESN'T EXIST"
"Umm I just prayed to him and got cash and experience"
"NOPE NO EVIDENCE"
"Well I just levelled up and got more AD... The evidence is pretty concrete."
"NOPE DOESN't EXIST"
"Ok whatever buddy... Missing out on free **** here."

"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*
