Necro twink on 25k budget

[tefog]

I can probably go to 30k or 40k. but what are the best items for a 25k budget for a necro?

[Shadey]

well don't buy a Fungi robe. Has an impending nerf coming. From what i've read on the boards retroactive too.

Just get cheap-ish hp or hp/mana gear IMO. Nothing outside of regen or clarity will actually help you level any quicker.

[baalzy]

my necro has ~3k total worth of gear discounting my FBCR...

[baalzy]

To humor you
FBCR~8k
Runed Cowl~1k
Ornate shield~4k
Cryosilk Webshield~2k
Golden Bracers~1k?
Golden Chitin Bracer i dont even know

At lower levels 15hp 15mana Golden Jaded Bracelets will be a much better return for you than golden Chitin. I don't think the int conversion is better on GCB till around 30 and even then you have to give up 30 hitpoints for just a few extra mana. You will also save yourself a good chunk of change.

Platinum fire wedding rings x2 of course.
Platinum sapphire necklace provides INT and STR (don't ignore strength unless your budget includes 100% WR bags).

Black Sapphire Jewelery, HBC, Plat Fire rings or Platinum Skull Rings, Rokyls Channeling Crystal, Platinum Tiara, Golden Jaded Bracelets, Dagger of Marnek, Cone of the Mystics, Shadowbound Boots, Embroidered Black Sleeves/Mantle

You should be able to pick up all that as well as minor stuff for the missing slots for your 25k budget easy. All that gear is heavily focused on HP and raw mana (which will heavily outweigh INT for a long time) and past that, not much you can do to make life easier, unless you have enough of a budget to get a Rod of Annihilation.

Necros can't use Fungi Robe anyways. (CLR DRU MNK)

This. Hp gear is massive for a necro, because you can safely operate between a lower % range of your overall health (since it has to fluctuate some to be efficient with lifetap dots, etc) and not have to worry about unlucky strings of hits by mobs.

Edit: Lol, just saw the "bone to be wild" tag. Nice.

I believe I have the ultimate necro twink mainly because he's wearing a hierophant's cloak and wielding a Rod of Annihilation, he's actually meleeing for 150 damage at level 27..lol but anyways yea...focus mostly on AC and HP gear < 20. Mana gear will be better for you at the start, however you will probably level up pretty fast.

First of all you didn't say what race. Iksars can not wear Gebs, Golden Chitin Bracers, or Golden Bracers (there's other items that they can't wear either like black chitin legs, granite bracers, etc).

Here's a list of gear to aim for that you may potentially desire as a necro at some point:
5 AC / 55 HP rings
Djarn's Ring
Gem Enrusted Ring
GEBS (if not Iksar)
Golden Bracers (if not Iksar)
Golden Chitin Bracers (if not Iksar)
Tattered Leg Wrappings
Grave Sandals (if Iksar)
Braided Cinch Cord
Thick Banded Belt
Idol of the Thorned
Impskin Gloves
Ivandyr's Hoop
Earring of Essence
Fingerbone Hoop
Platinum Tiara
Ornate Rune Shield
Cyrosilk Webshield
Tola's Robe (Jumpy Robe)
FBCR (if can't afford the above)
Squallsurge Shawl
Hooded Black Cloak
Necklace of Superiority
Glowing Bone Collar (if can't afford NoS)
Enshrouded Veil
Bracelets of Woven Grass (if Iksar)

I would focus on meleeing and tanking pre-20...so try to find a good weapon. Obviously the RoA will be out of your budget but I'm sure you can find something decent. If you have questions hit me up in game on Skorge or Wakky (my necro).

Dragoon dirk works well enough as a beginning weapon. If you can get someone to help you out theres also the visceral dagger, which you can keep in your main hand for life if you really wanted.

Shadowbound gloves/boots are fairly nice as well and are iksar usable.

[Mcbard]

Make sure you get J-boots.

[Extunarian]

Make sure you get J-boots.

Wow I can't believe this wasn't mentioned yet. Absolutely get jboots.

[tefog]

Sorry i forgot to say twink is already level 36

[falkun]

If he's already 36 then you can't really call him a twink anymore. There are plenty of high PP camps that I feel a 36 necro could do that could net him 25kpp. I mean, hell, couldn't he camp his own JBoots?

[tristantio]

Honestly I would spend it all on 100% WR bags as those will be the most useful after you have decent hp gear.

Btw on necros and money - my nec is my highest toon at 38 currently and I have around 7k in plat in bank and circlet of shadow and a mask of obtenebration (on rogue alt). The Mask was from buying/selling, the circlet and plat was from farming, so 25k is definitely possible without being a twink if you save your cash.

Also speaking of which, circlet of shadow is pretty nice (inventory usable).

[baalzy]

Aye, if you get lucky and can land the sisters camp in OoT at level 25 you'll have made 5k+ by the time you leave at lvl 32-33 (tho you can stick the camp out until 35ish). Then if you do halflings in Misty you can make another 10k by 40-41.
