New Wizard, class questions, etc!
 

Hello,

I played up to Planes of Power and quit on LIVE many years ago, I had a level 60 Warrior & Shaman. I am new to Project 1999 and now leveling a Wizard. I thought a Wizard might be a good choice for me as I've never played a pure caster in EQ. I started playing last night and I'm almost level 10, I've got a few questions below that I hope some folks can help me with :)

What spells should I be looking forward to building my rotations or play around?
What items should I be looking for purchasing?
What quests should I be looking to completing?
I know J Boots are going to be a go-to item, when should I think about questing for them?

Thanks very much

Best thing you can do is save until you can afford jboots. I saved up and bought mine as soon as I could (which was lvl 25-ish) and it was the best investment ever. Then buy staff of temperate flux or quest it around 30-35 yourself. That is the second most helpful item you will get as a wizard.

Do your staff of the wheel quest (10 int staff) as soon as you can. I started/completed that around lvl 15.

Don't worry about buying INT gear until after lvl 25 or so. You won't need a huge manapool until you start quadding which is 29 or 34 ( I can't remember exactly). And by the time your 30-40 you will be able to earn enough plat to pay for all your gear, because, wizard gear is relatively cheap.

I don't know what you mean by, "What spells should I be looking forward to building my rotations or play around?". But I would just buy all the spells. Almost all of them have uses at one point or another.

Thanks for your response, I'll keep an eye on those first things. What I meant about what spells should I look forward, I would guess it would be whatever spells I use around 29 - 34 in order to quad!

Most of the AOE spells (if not all) are researched, so get saving those runes :p

Oh gourd.... I know nothing about research or specialization even. HALP!! :D

Should I be saving most of my training points for these? Any recommendations? :)

Save your training points for research. Easiest way to do it by far is just to use the training points. It gets expensive towards the end but you can fund it with porting.

Staff of Temperate Flux is necessary for pulling your quads. Circle of Force is your first quad spell. Pillar line is your post 50 line. Quad seafuries for money. Quad raptors for exp. Get Jboots and SOW pots to do the aforementioned easier.

Totally not necessary, although it's a great item for quadding and for other purposes (e.g. aggro kiting and whatnot).
