yeah, but after the end of that 250 hrs you still have jboots. plus you have the advantage of having a clicky (useful for refreshing your slot 1 spell quickly, or as a junk buff in certain situations) and this is eq... 250 hrs is not an unheard of amount of time to be playing a character if you are serious about getting to 60.

Certainly. But at what cost? Do you want to live in your car while you save up for a nice house, or would you rather live in an affordable apartment in relative comfort until you could afford the house? I would choose the latter.

2-3k? Damn, I got the impression that i need just a few +int/mana pieces. Do you have some suggestions on items I should get?

Face tank nuke spam works well until like 40 (for the 30s do SK gnolls/scrolls).

With an instant gcd refresher, like staff of t flux inventoried, you can down blues fast and get more meditating in than quad kiting allows. I found having a decent weapon often helped reduce the number of nukes needed/finish a mob off.

At lower levels with the right buffs you can even chain your PBAoEs for XP; just don't over pull!

I was quadding with my wizard around lv 24 with jboots. I leveled extremely quickly because of it.

Don't we get a snare at lvl 29. Or were you doing it w/o snare?

I was doing it without snare. Just have to pick the slower mobs. I made a killing the sisters in OOT.

well ya, but "a few" int/mana pieces end up costing 100-300 ea, with some going up to just south of 1k. it adds up real fast. Golden sapphire earrings, loam encrusted set, impskin gloves, braided cinch cord, bracelet of woven grass or golden jaded bracelet, are good items to start looking for.

your mainhand is going to be sotf (staff of temperate flux... not your epic) for 100% of your quadding career, don't bother with a primary.

Staff of Temperate Flux can be cast from inventory, losing out on stats from a cheap primary is just silly. My wizzy is almost 56 and I've used Flux Staff in primary 0 times.

ah, you're right. never occurred to me to try. now i have 3 clickables in inventory though, that's really starting to hurt bag space.
