5/55 rings are really good until high 50s when you can reasonably replace them. I do not think I have anything better on any of my characters. 110 extra hp to a low level silk wearer is amazing. I believe they are around 220-250 each. For some int http://wiki.project1999.com/Stein_of_Moggok these maybe go for around 250. Check out the quest and see if you can do that instead of buying it if you don't have the cash.

I would also save some money to buy gems that you need for reagents for your rune line of spells. This line will save your life.

Stein of Moggok is pretty much an Enchanter quest. You need to be able to do illusions or else spend a lot of time doing faction work in some unsavory places. Dark Elves can do it at level 8, others need level 12 for Illusion Dark Elf.

And what are theses 5/55 rings?

what people always forget about the stein is that u can turn in items while invis. this forces you to eat a death from the final turn in NPC (clurg? been a while) but you can absolutely get it without any faction work.

Do you do this by giving the item and clicking quickly before they notice and kill you? I suppose I would be willing to give this a shot but I don't get invis until 16 so I'll have to wait until at least then. I am currently smiting wisps in Q hills and saving up lightstones and greater lightstones for quest turn ins out in north karana as I remember that being pretty good exp and cash.

I think I'll buy my important lvl 16 and lvl 20 spells then see how much if anything I have left over to spend on equipment. I've got a few stacks of bone chips and 3 or 4 hq bear pelts to sell, are these hard to find buyers for over in the east commons tunnel? Haven't done any group play yet but the levels are slowing down and the mana regen times are picking up so it is time to start looking.

Haledan, is the thread title drawn from this?

+1 if so!

Hope you're enjoying the wizard. He'll be highly raid desired at the higher levels but it'll be a bit of a struggle to get a group at times.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I titled the thread lol. It just seemed to fit. I am digging my wizard so far and am hoping my next 10 levels are as fun as the last 10. Good to hear there is some desire for the class on raids but that will be a long climb for me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ahh, just save up about 20,000 Lightstones and buy you a Manastone. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You can port back to Classic zones and be FM in no time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You need Epic + Manarobe (Manastone is good for a select amount of content) or a Veeshan's Peak clicky nuke item in order for Wizards to be worthwhile, preferably both. Otherwise they just suck for PvE, aside from quad kiting. Unless you are going to be getting access to those items, leave this class behind.

The important thing to ask yourself is A.) are you having fun right now and B.) look at your past history with games. Do you stick around for years? If not, then play what is fun and don't worry about what is needed for raiding.

Access to epics is much easier on the red server, but if pvp isn't for you then that's all good.

Well I'm not opposed to pvp. I had great fun in DAoC and Warhammer Online and I play GW2 solely for WvW but EQ PvP is different so I'm not sure how willing I am to commit to it. I'm also not sure what I think of the balance of PvP in EQ.

As for my past history it is hard to say. When I really commit I do tend to go all out. I was doing high end raiding EQ2 last time I played it (it was the velious expansion there too [You must be logged in to view images.

I guess I don't know yet and will find out along the way. I am having fun though and am actually planning on sticking to my wizard until that stops at least [You must be logged in to view images.

The nice thing about EQ is that there are enough options that there is no reason to continue playing a character that is not fun for you.
Keep doing what you are doing until it stops being fun.
