Spell prices extreme?! Howdy doody!

Yeah I was shock too when I went for my see invisible on my wiz and it was 5pp and change for a level 4 spell all the other 1 were just over 1pp.

Usually only need like 2 expensive spells per spell level anyways

Do you have low charisma

Charisma wouldn't account for that amount of difference for a low level spell. Some spells are more expensive than others of their level.

OP's post is interesting though. Would be interested to see if there are a good number of spells that are listed as cheaper in the classic era than they are on P99.

[DarkwingDuck]

Completely agree. Each spell level is over 100plat. Ridiculous.

Don't forget to shop around too, especially when it comes to "shared" spells between classes like root, see invis, invis, etc. Ever notice how your guild's vendors tend to all have a level range of spells? If you don't get root until level 34 (necros) you may find the same spell at another vendor for a class that gets it at a lower level at a greatly reduced rate.

Yeah I don't think this is accurate but could be wrong

I only purchased like 2-3 spells for each new lineup.

By lvl 16 I had 150pp+ in the bank from selling mob trash and went back to buy what I missed. Cracked staff's from from lvl 1-10 humanoid mobs are mini jackpots and sell for a few plat.

Sold bone chips to to Necros for a few plat. Sold tons of rusty weapons for plenty of gold early on.

I doubt you need EVERY single spell that opens up at each lvl. So just chill once you hit teens and low 20's I was making roughly 100pp each time I went out to grind a lvl.

Soon plat wont be and issue so that minor struggle at the start becomes irrelevant very quickly.

what does howdy doody mean?

also spell prices being crippling for casters is super classic. deal.

Yeah, I just consider this the price I pay for being better than most gear-needy melee classes. A Wiz was the first character I made (and quit) and I recall the struggle to make dough for new spells. I suspect the OP is just miss-remembering, possibly after having a stroke.

Also, not EVERY spell is worth purchasing upon level up. "lvl 7 eroticisim" can be skipped until you have free plat.
