I have about 50k to spend, any essential gearing needed? Contrary to popular belief; I don’t really see the value of a pre nerf COS for 12k in 99% of situations. I have the money but doesn’t mean I need it. A 5 second invis without taking up a spell slot still sounds sweet. Not sure if the fear staff is really worth it either. Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on how they would spend that money. Wish I could afford zlandicars heart!
I leveled my necromancer with a Toji robe, Z heart, HP rings, couple of cheap books, and literally nothing else. Hunted for my own upgrades throughout the journey (currently 59) and I actually have pretty legit gear now. 46+ you start getting the good No Drop stuff anyways.

Save some money for your higher end spells, probably need about 20k in your "spell fund" and you will be all set for the journey 50-60

Save 4k to buy a stack of EE's for when you enter CoM/HS charm levels and can 93% rez yourself (lvl 53)

Save 2k for a stack of Tiny Inlaid Coffins (57) and maybe 1k for 5 Jade Inlaid Coffins (39)

Fear staff is nearly completely useless, avoid at all costs and save the bag space

Toji robe is very nice for low level due to the haste and you can save it for high end charming if you feel like gambling a 3k robe on a charm pet (people do this, but I don't think I would because I don't want a 100% hasted and weaponized pet coming for me on a break). Either way this robe is nice to have

CoS is probably the best item you will ever own. The insta click charm break plus the ability to FD and instantly invis makes you quite formidable in dungeons. I can get around on my necro almost better than with my monk TBH

Jboots benefit the Necromancer greatly. However one of the fun things you can do is camp it yourself since Necro can solo so well. Line it up for mid 40s and you can XP and camp the item at the same time.

Zlandi heart is really nice but its hardly game changing. On an Iskar the extra regen makes Lich a non factor but quite honestly its a non factor anyways due to how powerful our tapping is at high levels. It's not worth 160k (I had one and sold it because I was not that attached to it)

The Velious pants are a MUST HAVE. Being able to haste your pets with a clicky and not using huge amounts of mana is so nice I can not describe it. Its not the max haste you will have available (55% vs 65%) but the convenience is absolutely outstanding. If you can sneak into a PoG raid make sure you get these https://wiki.project1999.com/Pantalo...the_Bonecaster

TLDR: Velious pants, CoS, Stack HPs - everything else is optional
