Research required for Necros?

[williestargell]

Raising your skill sucks. Finding some of the rare words for a necro sucks. If you're not one of those people that feels they should jump through all the hoops to make your toon complete I wouldn't do it, I'd just buy the finished spells.

Doing research on your own I can almost guarantee you will not be getting the spells you want at the required levels.

I bought all the spells I felt were necessary (pets / call of bones ect) and just left out the other ones until I eventually came around to getting the skill/components for them.

Raising your skill is easy. Its called going to your guild trainer and putting points into it.

It's also called 1000 more platinum to do this than it is to buy the spells.

PS - When Thulack dings 60 will there be some ceremony? Can you stop just shy of 60 and let everyone come watch you ding 60 in Kael or Velks or whatever? Hell it would probably be fitting for you to ding in EC off a griffin or something.

Not like casters have anything else to spend points on.

A new player has a lot they can spend platinum on. That's the point. No one cares about skill up points.

Beyond 130 you're dumping like 30 plat into each skill up, that's a lot for a new player. Around 180 it scales up to be like 60-70 plat I think.

I got one of our guild magicians from 0-180 and it cost me around 2500ish platinum, maybe closer to 3000 I forget... Just because none of them had the 49 fire pet and that made me sad.

I got tired of being unable to find any Necros with decent (>130) research skill, so I bit the bullet and bought up to ~175 skill with Viskovitz. If you need any combines done PM me here. Like Daldaen said its extremely pricey eventually.. I spent ~1.5k going from 130-170.

There are a few levels where it's a huge pain to find research words (34 and 49 in particular) and they're not commonly sold in EC.

It's not *that* hard finding a necro with decent research skill. I got all my combines np and I play offpeak times. Sure it might have taken a day or two.

Getting the pages is harder. But then I did a mad vendor trawl and got everything a few times over. Once you get close to 50 getting 1.5k together isn't much trouble either.

I'll probably never ding 60. I will log on to find seaworthy plankton and once i do that log off again. I might come back i might not but if i do i want a BFG [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
