What is it about Specs?

[Virtuosos]

quad-kite them in oot, manastone back up to 50% with regen on, med till next pop, you can do that for hours and hours with mana being able to keep up....

thats a fuckton of merchant cash lol

[Ingrum]

Enchanter, cleric, mage, necro. 39+ specs anywhere are awesome.

i must have gotten a hold of some cheap spectres then. I FINALLY found the ones in Feerrott uncamped about 2 weeks ago. I said to myself "cool, finally got specs this will be great" I needed some money and have heard rave reviews. Killed the one outside and first 2 inside...got about a plat off of each, 1 rusty and 2 bronze scythes. Left and went to sol A and murdered gnomes and cleaned up. I figured they would at least dropped FS.

go figure

[druziil]

specters in oasis still most con darkblue to lvl 50. probably in it for the exp

Spectres are good because of their low HP. It makes them quick kills so you can fit a ton of them into a 6 minute time frame and then they start popping again. They are terribly boring though and the cash is not good (I don't care what people say). The cash is terribly bad in OOT/Feerrott if you can't sell the Scythes.

Why would you not be able to sell the Scythes in either of those places? The vendors in OOT are super close, and there are vendors in Feerrott too. I guess if you're a druid/non-evil wizard, fine, but a Bard can always use the DE illusion mask in Feerrott to sell if they want. Maybe the money isn't *amazing* compared to farming seafuries, but some classes just don't have that option. Name me a better money-making option for a Bard.

edit:

5-6K in three levels .. Post-40 I am assuming... is pretty terrible.

To be clear, I don't know how long it was because I killed specs intermittantly while going back and forth to royals and shit like that, and one of the levels was a hell level (45). Also, that's not "terrible" because the levels went by extremely fast. I doubt you made 1K from levels 10-16 extremely quickly, you probably spent insane amounts of time selling to people in EC or something like that.

Not everyone can sell in Feerrott ... also the vendors are no where near the spectre caves. If you want to leave the camp to go sell you are just inviting people to come take your camp and you weren't present at it.

The problem in OOT is that you pretty much have to be a quad class to kill them. It isn't a very good camp. Between dodging skeletons, having to pull 4 at once (unless you have lull/fd) it is a pretty terrible camp.

Also I did not sell anything on EC on my shaman. It was like week 3 into the server's life (late october) and there was no economy. The secret is... Don't run to oasis to level. Leveling near Qeynos has much better options for exp and cash. It took my shaman like 1-2 days to level 10-16 and I made over 1k in the process on kills alone.

I still say spectres fucking suck. They are good for exp and exp only. The only time cash is good is when you get a random good gem or something. Once your weight reduction bags are filled with the good scythes, unless you want to leave your camp unattended and open to someone stepping in, you aren't gonna sell them.
