Necro or Mage
Hello, I'm returning to p1999 after a hiatus and starting pretty much fresh with no characters over lvl 20.
Looking for a character to solo with no gear but have never played an int caster. I find necro appealing because of feign death and fear. Seems to have high survivability. But obviously mages have the best pets in the game and great nukes. Another big concern is that I've always played good races so would want to be a gnome, but I'm not sure what kind of faction concerns I would have being a mage vs necro. Is there a resource that lays out what places I would be KOS in as a gnome mage/necro? I need a good farming character as I will want to gear a melee class later on and need to build up some income. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks! | ||

mage for sure, necro pets are very bad and you actually LOSE health from some spells,

LoL played both, necro can hold harder camps solo > mage, all a round more versed. Fear, Snare, Lifetap, Mana-regen, mana-battery, just versatile.

Necros can get around all kinds of faction issues though later on. Skeleton form helps a lot of factions to change to non-kos (though this is meant to be a bug I think), and with a Circlet of Shadows you can easily invis up towards banking in Felwithe, Kelethin, North Freeport by hiding behind a wall and scrolling back on your mousewheel to target the bankers on the other side. Bankers will be kos so don't go running in with a "HAIII GUYS!!11!" attitude [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||

gnome necros are extremely KOS in kelethin and felwithe.
You are basically stuck with Ak Anon, Freeport underground (and NFP after you start killing corrupt FP guards for xp/faction), Neriak (stay the hell away from any non-necro caster guilds, though), and Overthere. It's still quite a decent amount of options for a necro to bank at (DEs are basically Neriak/FP Underground/OT only.. not sure if Oggok/Grobb are viable for DE or not w/out massive faction work). The wildcard would be paineel/erudin. I had some decent faction luck on a gnome bertoxx necro in Paineel, but certainly not erudin. But yeah, for the love of god, don't send a gnome necro anywhere near Kelethin or Felwithe. | ||

Dabbling in the dark arts and feign death, ftw....
Mage just sounds boring to me. | ||

feign death has already gotten me out of at least 3 certain death situations.
