Journal of Wizard...

[slowpoke68]

Think I finally picked my main and thought I would do a little journal of my leveling experience.

After many restarts, I rolled up an Erudite Wizard. I put 25 into Int and 5 into Agility. I know a lot of the posts say to put the stats elsewhere, but C'est la vie.

Started off just killing whatever in Tox forest and vendoring it all. First few levels went by pretty quickly although it is hard getting used to being so squishy. I played a cleric on Brell Serilis just after launch for a few years. Didn't do much alting at all, and never a caster.

After not too many deaths I made level 4 and left Tox with a full set of cloth, a Sr. Apprentice Robe, the bare minimum in spells and a cracked staff. Took the boat to Qeynos and got a bind. Luckily I was able to hitch a ride to Butcherblock with someone porting and turned in all my bone chips at the Paladin guild in Kaladim which brought me almost to level 6.

Next headed to Blackburrow and got into some nice little groups/duo trios. Made a few levels there and gathered a fair amount of fangs. One problem was the number of higher levels who would come around the bridge and kill our gnolls. Levels 9-11 stealing our level 4, 5, 6 gnolls that my little group of 5-7's were killing. This forced me to move deeper past the doors which was ill advised. Three deaths in less than a half hour put a damper on my progress.

Eventually turned in my fangs hit level 9 and was done with Black Burrow.

Started killing the Rabid Bear outside and again hit a little snag with three more deaths in a half hour. With this Wiz it seems like that is a pattern for me, haha. But got my rhythm down and with turn ins I ended up getting to almost level 13 and walked away with all my spells (the good ones anyway) and an extra 120 pp to spare.

At this point I am doing some leisurely wisp hunting on Erud's Crossing and typing this in between pulls.

Hit level 13 and will stay here a bit longer. Would like to walk away with 8 GLS and some LS too. Will turn into the Gypsy in NK. My next hunting ground will be to hopefully find a bandit group or partner in WK. Will turn in Sashes and bank more money then head to ECL tunnel to see if I can buy some earrings and rings.

Want to do this nontwinked and self found. Self found meaning hunt it myself or pay fair market value for all my gear.

Anway thanks for reading. Future updates should be shorter and less wall of textish.
