Necromancer Gearing

[Louien Thorngage]

Ok, let me start this with;

I am not looking for this link;

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=80972

Or a link to the wiki. Or a link to somewhere else that details the BIS/Pre-planar/Planar/50+/etc gear.

I am barely able to make enough cash to buy my spells every few levels, this is my first character on P99, and I haven't played Live since....Luclin I think. Currently, I am still wearing Small Cloth armor and running about with a Snake Fang as a weapon. The only "stat" gear I have are a couple derv rings I picked up hunting in Nro.

What gear could I reasonably look for, farm, quest, acquire without expenditure of large amounts of plat between lvls 16-30, solo, duo, or group? Do I even need gear?

necros can solo to 50 naked if they had too. probably 60. as a necro you can farm mass amounts of loots and pp. you can already farm the sisters in lfay easily to get some cash.

[Louien Thorngage]

What/where are these sisters in lfay? I've heard about them a handful of times, but on Live (whenever that was) I played a warrior - so solo farming anything was out of the question.

It also means I don't even know what gear I'm looking for. Unless Necros can where +sta/str plate...heh

This is a really naive thing to say as a caster. I dont think anyone should take you seriously at all with a comment like that.

[Louien Thorngage]

Or anyone could assume it was sarcasm.

I'm well aware of the gear limitations of casters. Just the only gear I remember from Live were things like the Crafted set, and weapons like the Lammy and the Yak. Clearly none of that will help me as a Necro; thus the question.

In retrospect, I get this odd feeling that I was just trolled.

I'm assuming you're on blue server. Short answer is you don't need hardly any gear to level as a necro. Don't worry about camping anything or sitting in EC, just go level. Once you're in your 50's you can go back and camp something that you really missed.

Just pick up any +Int or +HP gear as you level. That's all you need to be concerned with. Mana and HP. As a necro they are one and the same for you, you just need to manage them.

[Tecmos Deception]

Load up the necromancer equipment database on the wiki (http://wiki.project1999.org/Category...ncer_Equipment) and loot at each slot and sort by hp, int, and mp, looking for gear with as much of those things on them as you can farm/afford.

I got my necro to 51 before my laptop started blue screening and encountering problems. He still had some horrible gear, and while more int would have been handy in some situations you'll find yourself with plenty of control over the fights you enter.

Advice to just level is good advice. Warslik's Woods from about 21-22 onwards at the giant fort will see good returns, and some of the stuff there sells well to vendors (at Overthere etc). Get to 35-36 and you'll be raking plat from spectres I'd imagine [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks guys, the responses have given me a pretty good direction to start in.

my necro only has 111sta and 128int and he just hit 46. he has mostly levled up outdoors fear kiting but its all been easy so far. almost al my deaths have been from not paying attention rather than lack of mana. i think i even put most of my starting stats into str to avoid encumbrance
