(N)EverQuest Scrolls

Borrowed from a post in the Newbie Zone on EQLive, heavily spell-corrected by me.

SK:

1) Blade of Disruption (even at lvl 75 there is no upgrade to this 1-hander outside of No Drop items).

2) Festive Doll (15 to all stats) Bought in Anniversary month (price 0c). Or just farm the entrance of Veksar to get the 75HP/Mana +5 stats doll.

3) haste items (cheap Soulscream Belt 4-5k and 31% haste. High price Cowl of Mortality or Cloak of Flames/Cloak of Crystalline Waters. Both 36%)

4) cheap Black Sapphire Velium Necklace (65HP/mana) If you have more PP Zlandicar Talisman.

5) 2x 70HP AC rings Palladium Fire Opal Ring.

6) Fiercely Hooked Claw (ear with ATK and 100HP/mana)

7) Earring of the Solstice.

8) War Marshall’s Bladed Staff (it does more DPS then Windblade but costs far less because almost no one know about the DPS bonus for 28 delay 2-hander)

9) Magnetic Breastplate (cheap and nice A on it)

10) Mana regen and DS potions ( DS pot stack with all other DS spells even druid ones)

11) Misty Thicket Picnic and Grobb Liquidised Meat. They are cheap and, since SK don’t use a horse, a stack can last you from 40 to 60.

Shaman:

1) Quest for Fine Antique Ring. 30mana, 20HP and Mana Preservation 2 on it

2) Fist of Shining Faith (mana pres 3 and about 4-5k)

3) Mantle of Gunthak (Imp Healing 3; about 10k)

4) Tae Ew Shield is cheap or Silver Serpent Shield if you can affort it

5) Tae Ew Chain Tunic.

6) Talisman of the Spiritseer (1 mana regen and costs around 6k)

7) Mana regen potions (Clarity)

8) Festive Doll. 15 all stats so 15WIS and 15STA For The Win

9) If you can afford the nice +3% alteration item. Can’t remember its name but ask in general chat, someone will probably know.

First, fix your faction. Your objective is to become warmly to all factions (apart from necros) for both classes, and non-KoS or better to necros for SKs.

Intended mainly as a guide to raise alchemy skill quickly so as to make Essence of Iksar – triv 172; this needs a level 59 (I think) shaman. Uses iksar meat (collect in Dulak) and wormwood. Hopefully you will only need one each. Skill up path is (mostly copied from Xanthe’s Alchemy Guide): Skill cap for alchemy is (level-24)*5.

There are other skill up routes, look in the Alchemy section of the boards at EQTraders. For some reason, their “learning a skill” section on alchemy does not include skill up paths. If you can, try to find a copy of Ugzug’s Guide to Alchemy (pdf), which beats the information on EQTraders, which has old alchemy, LDoN and GoD alchemy as well.
