Power pools

I am a returning player and i am wondering about power pools. I remember with my old alt i took flight and medicne.

My new alt has reached lvl 8 and i am thinking of taking flight and medicne again. I am wondering if it is too late to take my first power pool. I remember that you had to take your first power pool at lvl 6 in order to get the next one.

You can take a power pool at level 4 (used to be 6), or any level thereafter. There is no requirement to take it by a certain level.

As Hopeling says, your memory is in error in this case: you may take your first power pool power at any time after level four when power pools open up. It used to be level six, but there was never a "use it or lose it" requirement to actually take a pool.

Also, power pool requirements have changed on the travel pools specifically. You can now take the travel power in the travel pool without taking an earlier prerequisite power. In other words, in the old days if you wanted Fly you had to take either Hover or Air Superiority first. Now, you can just take Fly directly. Also, the Fitness Pool is now inherent: everyone gets it automatically. If you have older characters that took fitness, you need to respec to get inherent fitness. If you have older characters that never took any fitness powers, the next time you log those characters in you should get all four fitness powers automatically.
