I'll cry about being a human necro when i see an iksar necro doing so much, wait no i won't ill remember he had to spend 23% more time grinding.

I think we have all been smote by a troll.

If there "aren't any necros besides iksar" I will really have to touch on the complete shi*t game design. (sorry fan boys) It is especially unnerving to consider that iksar came with an expansion and therefore all those necros that had rolled before them were now "obsolete". If an additional 8hp per tick breaks my character I'll reroll or ill quit, its not like i have any money invested into this.

edit// if we could get back to the discussion at hand....what good +mana items were those that thought mana should be stacked suggesting?

Lol I'm a gnome and idc about iksar regen but yeah.

As far as gear goes getting some of those rings is a good idea ... 55hp 5ac ... They help a ton. But don't forget to save money for spells start costing about 4-7pp each at 20+ I believe so yeah.

There's a very rabid (which doesn't make them correct) group of people here on the forums who believe the only way to play this game is the most min/max way possible. Since Iksar is the most min/max race for Necros AT LEVEL 60, that crowd has no sympathy for anyone who is more interested in getting to 60 quicker, or in playing a character who is slightly less powerful than they could be when/if they someday reach level 60.

Ignore them. Play whatever you want. And like I said, save at least a little money because there will be something (bags, spells, food ... well maybe not food, that's cheap, but you get the idea) that you'll want at level 30 or whenever and you'll be glad you didn't spend all the plat right away. Well, unless you get lucky and get given some more plat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, since I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, you might want to check out the 1k twink guide in the wiki:

Buy jewelry first if you want to "save" your plat in your items, that'll hold it's value. At your level, stack HP more than mana. You'll corpse run less. 2x Adamantite Bands = 150hp, which is essentially 7.5 levels of extra hp, for about 300p. Golden Jaded Bracelets will add another 1.5 levels of hp and about a level extra of mana for 60p.

I like Advisor Robe because it adds 20 mana, but also adds 5 Int, so that will continue to help your mana pool in your 30's and 40's and it also looks cool for a cheap robe.

650p will be a drop in the bucket of what you're going to make as a necro, so don't get too hung up on it. A necro can level on spells alone for quite some time anyway.

Right now you can kill wisps in NK and turn in the lightstones and greater lightstones for exp. http://wiki.project1999.com/Research_Aid The books the greater lightstones get you can be sold right back to the same merchant for 9-10p. Good exp to about 16. If you start now, you'll easily make a few hundred plat just leveling. If you do a little research and plan out a leveling path too, you can easily make 10-15k before level 30 solo while you level.

Ravager I had a quick question about that research aid quest. I looked it up some and I see people on alla's comments talking about another gypsy in oasis that you can do the quest with. Also they say theres one in south ro for evils... are either of these options in p99? Or is the gypsy in NK the only way to do this quest? Also.. if the other two are in p99, then what are the faction requirements? I personally have a dark elf necro so i'm wanting to make sure which npc I need to go to for this quest before wasting my time travelling far and being dubious. Thank you anyone for replies, sorry to derail thread.

To OP... I personally would just toss out a few plat to get the flowing black robe. I have loved the look of that thing since the day I started eq when it opened in 99. Mine doesn't have one yet because i'm only level 7 and I have 6p 3g to my name haha! I haven't been as lucky as you with awesome people hooking me up. The FBR seems to go for around 100p... when I somehow get to that level of plat i'm going to buy one of those straightaway as long as my spell needs are taken care of first.

Turning them in in SRo is good for gaining some evil faction. I've never heard of one in Oasis, but I never looked into it. You can go to either one, they'll both be indifferent. I just prefer the NK one because there are a ton of wisps right there in zone, so you never have to go far for the hand-ins. Also, anyone can be bound at the gypsy camp, so it's a nice way to make plat and exp for any class/race.

Wow, I never knew about that Concordance of Research quest, seriously you should fill your bag slots with those and Book of Dark Bindings. Just having lots of bag space and looting a lot adds up quickly when you need money.
For the money you have now, get the 5ac 55hp rings, or an Adamantite Band/Platinum Skull Ring if you find them for around 100pp or less.
Shralok packs are also a good investment, although once you reach the level to farm them in HHP you should.
Also as a Human necro you can wear Flayed Skin stuff which you can find occasionally in EC for real cheap, although most people just vendor it.

Seriously though as a new player bags, weight management, and remembering to loot can be very important. They make all the difference between being broke all the time and unable to afford spells, and steadily gaining cash as you level while getting all your spells.

Shralok packs can be farmed in Kithicor at level 13ish too, there's one spawn on the south wall I think that is never bothered by pathing undead mobs. Nice little 6 minute timer camp a lowbie can do. There's other spawns in zone too, but I never looked for them after finding this one. It's static too so it's nice.
