As my character on Mari is rapidly approaching 2k total, I've been thinking of using an elite hero card to make an elf elite druid on Alexina. I usually don't buy any nx at all, therefore I live on 3-week freebirths, and don't mind starting on a new server on my quest for new friends. Is it worth the $20 to jump start a new char at level 2k and 800 ap with mage skills preranked?

I would say yes, just because it'll save you a LOT of time ranking things, getting skills, rebirthing, etc. You also get one of those +50% training badges (I know at least Starlet and Vate hero characters get one) making things easier. And, assuming you don't have a lot of resources on your new server (pets, etc) it's probably a good idea to have every advantage you can going in.

It is really the worth $20, not because of extra APs and training badges you get, but because your elite character will start with a HUGE advantage. Druid elite, for example, lets you start a 2k character with all the Int-Magic skills learned. That means you don't need to go through tedious skill book quests and no need to pay 3m+ for exploration/ice spear/thunder/fireball pages.
Also a warm welcome to Alexina server!

That depends on what you also want to do with the character.
Will you continue maging? Then I guess it could be worth it. Otherwise, no, your stats will be weaker in other skillsets that you haven't even made character for.

There is no question at all: Yes it is absolutely 1000% worth it. How many rebirths would it take you to get 800 AP? Way more than $20 worth. Easy math.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll take the elite card then. After some maths, I've decided to rank all the bolts and int magic to r1 first, along with bolt mastery (just because it's already r3). The pre-ranked skills plus 800 AP add up to be around 2.3k AP total (because elves use more AP for bolts), which seems worth it to me, plus I don't need to get pages @_@
I looked at the description for the elite cards on Nexon's site and the druid skill ranks listed seem to be the ranks for the normal hero card. Nexon probably just goofed x.x
