Necro Strength Gear
 

Well, I've got my cleric, and I've got my necro... And that darned Necro gets encumbered faster than I can say "encumbered!" lol

He is still low level, but I can move him to EC Tunnel, np. What would be some good STR items for low level necromancers? I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks!

use the bank or buy a weight reduction bag

Netted Kelp

The cost of netted kelp is very high though.

Honestly if you just want raw strength, I suppose you could get gauntlets of potence they give 15str, or a thick banded belt both give 15 str. They would only give str, and not be very practical for anything other than that.

If you want useful caster items, loam belt gives 8str, loam choker gives 4str, steel wristband of strategy gives 7str and 7int, actually a few loam pieces give strength and are quite cheap.

Also, a way to inadvertently make yourself lighter is to get gear and a robe that is lighter weight.

As others suggest, weight reduction bags are useful, but they are expensive. If you want light weight bags, get shaman potion bags they are .4 in weight.

You can go to NK gypsy camp give the gypsy greater lightstones and she will give you 6 slot containers that hold giant items that only weigh .2!

I wear this for the HPs and it happens to have str on it as well.

Honestly I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice HP gear for STR gear. I will +1 the suggestion to use medicine bags if you aren't already doing so. If you are carrying regular backpacks then those are heavy just in themselves. Carrying 8 medicine bags vs 8 backpacks will save you about 20 in weight just in the bags alone.

yeah dude spend thousands of plat on +str items like gauntlets of potence and a thick banded belt instead of buying or farming yourself a weight reduction bag. you definitely won't look like a complete fool every time someone inspects you, and even dumber when you tell the people in your party why your necro is wearing raw +str gear.

why are people who suck at everquest trying to give advice on this forums?

I agree. I particularly like this gem of advice given by some genius.

If you want to criticize advice given, read the entire post and don't take it out of context.

If you're an iksar, this is pretty decent (and looks cool too) for like 50p or so:

Cheap item, not a lot of great low-lev face items anyways:

If you're a ERU/HUM, cheap item:

Cheaper item that has other good stats (free if you wanna quest them)

Not exactly a cheap item, but definitely should be on your list as a caster item that has decent STR:

Can be had for like 300p:

Not all that cheap, but at least it's not a wasted slot, since it's also got nice +int:

Dunno, tons of stuff to be honest, depending on your budget. Can always just go to the wiki and poke around:

Forum bans need to be double duration with each strike.

I use the level 1 spell Siphon Strength all the time on my necro, the extra 10 STR helps out.
