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.

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.

[solleks]

Usually only need like 2 expensive spells per spell level anyways

[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

Hrm. Pretty sure I remember going to buy spells and remembering that I saw them cheaper on another vendor. I'll dig through my logs when I get home. I mentioned root because I'm almost positive that was one I saw it on and I ended up buying it from the cleric vendor in kaladim instead of the dude behind the counter in felwithe.

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.
