Quadding is fun though. Have you tried it?

You make up all the fun during Raids too. My Necro is too boring during Raids. I get excited when someone needs mana...

Wizards can also essentially sit at Hammer Hill and make cash virtually AFK. So it's not all bad.
Something close to a group experience for wizards is to bind at the ocean of tears ancient cyclops, quad seafuries and gate back to bind to hang out with AC crew between quads. They are a friendly lot these days and as Tadkins mentions it is overcamped by level 60 druids, meaning you will almost always have potg to speed up them quads.

Gems worth over 50pp drop about 1:5 kills these days and there are still some seafuries blues at 56.

To be fair I was referring to the SRo version of the AC. Wanted to try to earn jboots there legitimately, can't compete against all the high levels as a mere 30 something wizard. It was very demoralizing.

I know the OoT version is more stable, but you also have to be a far higher level, too high for a wizard to get to without jboots, really.

Just roll an enchanter and you can do everything.

I tried for the first time giving a torch to a hasted blue mob more than a week ago. Charm broke due to a bullshit bug in the p99 code; charm is not supposed to break early here

Anyway the thing ate through my two shields and melted me down to 25% before I could land a stun. Another bullshit bug where I can’t channel through every hit like was promised on forums

Until they fix the charm breaking and not being able to channel bugs I have stopped doing that. I don’t feel like having to plant my pet halfway across the zone to be safe, I’ll just stop with the torches

I can’t even imagine giving it a haste item….

You can’t compete with the sro farmers because they use a class that can track so they will easily get fte before you

You don’t need jboots to level at all. Buy sow potions. I leveled a wizard into the 40s before I got bored and never had jboots. I used sow potions to quad with

The thing with sow potions though is that they're like 10p per 30mins, which is realistically only a couple of quads. There's no guarantee that you'll be able to recover that as most quad mobs aren't known for being super rich. There's also the issue of having to AFK and ending up maybe getting one quad per charge. Plus, if I'm in the middle of a quad and SoW drops I would be in trouble.

I really just wish I could get Jboots instead.

It all goes back to the title of the original thread. If I'm struggling to compete this much for something as simple as jboots, seriously, what chance does someone like me have here?

None, your terrible self-sabotaging attitude disqualifies you. Stop it.

I did Sro at level 34 on my mage. Getting Sro AC is all about luck. Keep showing up and you’ll get it.
