I have a level 53 Necromancer which I have soloed about 95% of the time and I have never come across a time when I needed a COS that bad... Sure, I have used FD before but it was never anything where I was totally stuck and couldn't get out of the situation.

I'm just looking on really being sold on the idea to spend the 10K instead of just being told that I have to have one cause I'm a Necro...

Invising while running and insta invis if fading. Popping out of fd and invising without agro. You can't do that with your spell. It's actually painful for me to even think about that. Breaking charm is another good use. You can get away with not having one for sure, but you're gimping a necros capabilities. And necro at full potential really stands out.

If you are running through a dangerous area and your invis starts to fade you can refresh your invis without it ever breaking. Or if you are training mobs somewhere you can re-invs on the run so you don't get smashed by mobs ahead of you. You can do the same thing with a ring of shadow but it only has 3 charges. Main instances that come to find are plane of sky and VP.

If you charm undead you can break your charm instantly they don't care that it's not invisibility vs undead. Even invisibility vs animals works for this.

You can also use it in conjunction with feign death. FD, pop up and quickly invis without gaining agro.

I can understand the whole running and staying invisible or breaking charm. Speaking of which, I don't think I have ever seen a Necro use charm on a live mob or an undead mob. But I do solo a lot so maybe they do it in groups?

Feign Death has never been a problem for me. Maybe it's because I have the mob fight with my pet while I'm casting Darkness then Fear. So if I do need to cast FD then the mob is more busy with my pet than thinking about me...

I've got 2 on blue and 1 on red...

They were farmed literally 24/7 for years of Kunark, I'm hoping the price stays low or even drops for new players like some "entry level" items have. Here's to hoping, for those who don't have one yet.

Put your money (I mean COS) where your mouth is, and do an event to help a newbie out, or simply give it away since you so keen on a newb getting one for cheap. Offering "hope" is a sweet gesture but let's be honest, it doesn't help anyone or anything.

Also, lol at Filbus creating a post to manipulate the market on his hoarded Circlet of Shadows. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If people want help getting started on a particular server they know where to come...this is nothing new.

99% of the people are on Blue, so I assume you mean you will help out those on Blue, right?

Just so I can find you here, do you play "Swish" on Blue mostly, or are you on another alt? I know some lowbie necro/sks that could really use a COS.

Good looking out man, always nice to see someone willing to walk the talk not just talk the talk.

P.S. I LOVE the cat gif you running atm, I had to look those cats up on Youtube. Hilarious clip - really!

According to our market analysis department, a charity event like this could have a negative impact on Prenerfed CoS sales over the next two fiscal years. Also, with the new server being launched soon, these prices will inevitably decrease in the time being.

Haha, you nerds. Damn this thread makes me feel good!

Prenerfed CoS are abundant
DBG won't allow a new p99 server
Set treadmill to walk and work on your type 2 status.

You can't play p99, have a p99 avatar, and call other people nerds as if it's some sort of insult lol. Glad you're feeling good though.

You've no idea what the Avatar stands for, which means you're just another EC tunnel bug, exacerbating your diabetic status while waiting for your big chance to make plat on prenerfed CoS sales,..lol

Your electronic image you dunce. And last a1c was like 5.

Mudflation over time, are we going to see a dwindling supply of new players? People like new and fresh - this is far from it, particularly with Daybreak doing easy to install EQ and up to PoP, and (probably) launching another TLP server at some point at the end of this year or start of next year.

We all know this is the best place for truly classic EQ, and hopefully we'll get some Daybreak stragglers, but who knows. Maybe enough existing players who havent rolled a necro/SK yet will do so and the demand will outweigh the supply. At least one person in this thread said they're sitting on a supply of them didnt they?

10,000 plat is not an unreachable sum for a casual necromancer main (i.e. Not alt). It is a game changing clicky, but it is not an absolute requirement to play.

They will not drop anymore. There ARE more of them in existence than active sk/necro players but I'd wager many of those are either already parked on the sk/necro alts and unlikely to ever be sold or parked on dormant accounts from people that no longer play.

I only have one and it won't ever be sold.
