Wizard is a lonely class to play, it's a class that rarely is needed in a group setting and depends mostly on solo play to advance. I highly recommend looking into a class that suits your playstyle better. If you are seeking a more inclusive experience that gets you on the fast track to other more interesting content, I advise you choose something like a Cleric.

Honest question though, how does a wizard earn those cool clickies and group quest spells they need without having a group?

Heck, I only ended up getting my Staff of Temp Flux because my other highest char was a 45 mage and I basically cheated with him.

You'll need a Necro or an Enchanter for the KC and CoM pieces because the Human Skeletons need to be charmed to hand in the bottle. You'll definitely need help from a friend/guildie for that quest. Agreed, though. It's a pain.

You don't have to give up on your Wizard, you can play other more group-friendly classes to make friends and call upon them for a favour when you need help with something.

Highest level character I ever got on this server was a 53 wizard. I was always that guy who'd drop what he was doing to port someone in the guild who asked. Kept my bind points close to where I was hunting for that reason. Tried my best to be a team player in that way, and helped with other things too like transfers whenever folks asked.

Despite that, my last guild would laugh at me when I had questions (like what was the "plate room" in Kael). They would leave me totally hanging when I needed help. I struggled greatly at quad kiting, to the point where I'd die after every successful quad or two (damn those backstabbing birds). Never was successful in getting a KC strike force going for the Concussion spell quest.

For the most part I just wanted to be able to join the guild for some group activities, to be included for some exp, so I wasn't forced to have to crawl to 60 in vain through solo quad-kiting that I hated and honestly sucked at.

Really don't know what to do anymore. I just honestly don't feel like I have a place here. Never felt very strong in neither the game mechanics or the social departments. All I ever wanted was to see some of the cooler higher level zones and maybe earn something that can't simply be bought in the EC tunnel.

Do you play on Blue at all? Join Yoremy Tessmia if so; they would be right up your alley

I joined P99 pretty late, and made my first Blue character about a year before Green was opened. I do have something of a presence there though, and was actually thinking of trying to start fresh as a necromancer (or maybe a shadowknight) on Blue as I haven't been able to get anywhere on Green.

I'll look them up. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah definitely take a look. In my they’re like a better version of Castle and Dawn Believers (the latter no longer really exists). Lots of people throughout the level ranges and generally people are very helpful.

They have an “epic night” every Sunday where people can submit what they’re looking for on their epics and groups will get together to go take down whatever they can that happens to be up at the time. You could also probably organize people at other times pretty easily as well via in game or discord. They also do Kael nights if you need any drops for Velious class armor. Do spell farm nights in Skyfire as well for those 50+ Kunark spells that are NPC drop. And just general other pick up stuff like random crawls through Velks and Seb etc. one of the best and most organized/active guilds outside the hardcore raiding guilds that I’ve seen on P99.

Wizzie is the wrong class for grouping. It's a solo leveling (note solo leveling and not solo class) and raid class, really. The only advantage as far as grouping goes is that porting can get you to places fast if a group does want you and porting can also make you friends.

I could teach you how to quad kite as long as you have Jboots or SoW pots (you already have the flux staff).

Raiding isn't for everyone, in fact it's for few. Wiz epic would likely be very hard/impossible for you to get. Outside of clicky-robes there's not much else that'll help a wizard. Well there's the dragon and giant nukes but those are only relevant for raiding anyway. Raid items for a wiz is mostly for vanity's sake.

I have a wizard too. I regret making one as raiding isn't for me. If I can score a decent item to sell to fund a twink I'll reroll.

Be judicious and selective about which spells you need to buy. You might have to farm some fine steel at some point though if you are really too broke to get the essentials.

Go back and buy the spells you skipped later though, many times in raids you'll be asked to use something that you never saw a use for in the past. Wizard does have a lot more useless spell lines than other classes though.

Yea, that's what we always do, we skip some spells that we never really use and take some that maybe might get used at higher lvl for some reason. But yea, wizards do have a ton of useless spells that I never buy.

i feel bad for enchanters lol

their second/third set of spells go for tons of plat for such an early level

It sounds like most your issues come from unhelpful guildmates. I'd recommend finding a new guild.
