Btw spent last few days with my beast and mage with this spell (have not gone to t7 yet as I was finishing up UCv2 on my 2nd groups bard) and all I can say is...damn!  You didnt disappoint on this spell.  Finally my pets arent so squishy...will reserve final judgement for when i go back to T7 (maybe over the weekend) but as of now TWO THUMBS UP!

Doh!  Guess should have looked at forums before that last post...TAH-DUH!

Also downloaded the new auto-patcher thingy...and it did its thing still nothing new spell file wise.

hmmm when I download the spell file from the website it only gives me the spell file from 5-29

Here is the one for mage

ok here is one that has been majorly cropped this is my beastlord but as yoiu can see at the bottom still says shaman even though has all classes listed

Ok I see that the pet buff now has listed all pet classes (and I have most recent spell file from server 5-29) but it is still listing them as x-class(255) and if you try to mem them it say your will never be able to learn this spell.  I have screen shots from both my mage and beastlord but the screenshots are to big to upload to the forums, if anyone knows how to shrink the file size to post it....

Also I just made the spell defensive boon (used bst ink ((given to me by Narl...thanks Narl!)) and combined qvic esse, tacvi esse, dminor, dmajor, gminor) gave me a shaman spell of defensive boon  Is this normal or is it just buggy?  Can we make defensive boon all pet classes useable maybe?  Hate to think I just burned all those essences!

Thanks for all the feedback...and thats a GREAT idea , Hate!  Wish I had some hard numbers for you (like other people do) but I wouldnr begin to be able to tell you anything other than my personal experience.  Here is another idea since pets dont jump behind the mob like dps toons do with a nice hotkey stroke...maybe allow pets a much greater avoidance/dodge so they dont eat it on riposites when a mob enrages?  Shouldnt really matter as pets wont hold aggro if your pc is close to the mob...the mob will go to the pc (my warrior in this case) but I dont know if that could be used as an exploit by someone or not.  I know its also a simple matter of tank positioning but I am lazy and dont always do it because with my hotkey setup, repositioning also means my toons being slung around in the process  as they chase from the rear.  Also thanks for the update on /pet hold (and the idea of putting it on a stick hotkey is great too!)  i havent tried it since I upgraded to UF a year ago...it never worked on SoF ( i believe is the CD set I ordered originally off amazon hehehe)

Not wanting pets to solo anything...i dont like the fact that necros pets can solo up to t3...maybe t4, but if pets are in an dps mode and not tanking...they shouldnt eat it either (death that is).  If I do not make sure to position pets in rear EVERY time they die.  of course I am pulling 5+ mobs at a time in T7 but pets arent tanking my warrior is.  Also has /pet hold been fixed or is it still craptastic?  havent tried that in a long while but havent seen any posts about it on forums during my morning troll errrr i mean stroll.

Never said it was a problem...just thought it was odd that in the discussion of making the research spells you stated that no essences would be used...and surprise they are.  i hope it is worth it as pet classes in their current state suck.

 Would take away the need for essences used on everything

Essences aren't used for this. Bots could farm the scrolls. Bots can farm this too, but takes more effort. Scrolls can be stockpiled so heavily that they lose their value this way either.

Class Ink, QVIC essence, TACVI essence, Dragon Minor, Dragon Major, and Gods Minor in magic box.

 

But saying that...thank you for the reply Hate and ty for working on this spell research system.

ok looking at the tab on the left side of the screen: spell recipes, why is the best spell (pet stonewall) all questions?

125434 Spell: Defensive Boon dru/shm/mag/enc/nec/bst - SPECIAL


This is the only spell that has me all happy in the pants!  My mage and beastlord may not suck anymore with this!  Anyone know the recipe yet?  I have a mage ink that I got from t7 yesterday and i know you can get loping planes vellum off the vendors in each zone (qvic, abyss, loping planes are where I have seen so far).  Is this just a trial and error deal?

If there was a way to make it remember all your usernames and passwords that would be sweet as well.  Manually entering in 12+ accounts at log in is getting tiresome 

Wow! ok I will do your leg work for you....this is sad.  This is a guide from the quest/guides ection by Strix.

Hi All

Having done a number of UC’s on multiple characters, I thought I might lay down some information on the Ultimate Charm to give new players a starting point.  Hopefully others will share their strategies in reply to this give a fuller picture of the approaches you can take in tackling what seems to be the impossible.  In truth, from the outset this quest looks quite daunting and has been the end of many a good player. 

Best advice anyone can give – believe you can do it!!!

What is the Ultimate Charm?
As the name implies – it’s the best charm in the game.  The stats are as follows:

Basic Information
How do I make a UC?
You need to level all 4 charm types (Guardian, Sorcerer, Oracle and Brawler) to level 50 and then combine them in your magic box.

How do I make a charm?
Firstly you will need to purchase a v2 Noobie Charm from the Noobie Vendor in either Surefall or the Nexus.  Eventually you will need four of these (one for each charm type).  The v2 Noobie charm is about 10k.  Once you have a Charm Upgrade (of any sort) place it in your magic box with the v2 Noobie Charm and it will create your lvl 1 charm (ie.  Oracle Upgrade + Noobie v2 Charm = Oracle lvl 1 Charm).

Once you have a lvl 1 charm you simply combine the upgrade with the existing charm to get the next level (ie.  Oracle Charm lvl 1 + Oracle Upgrade = Oracle Charm lvl 2).

Where do I find these Charm Upgrades?
v1 Charm Upgrades are located in LDON.  These charms are used to level your charm to 25.  Levelling your charm from 25 – 50 requires you to go to a different zone.  See v2 information below).  The following should give a guide as to where you need to farm in LDON to get a charm upgrade type:

LDON level 2 = Brawler
LDON level 3 = Guardian
LDON level 4 = Oracle
LDON level 5 = Sorcerer
LDON level 6 = ALL Charm Types

*** Your best chance at getting a charm upgrade to drop is in LDON level 6 (see below for more info on this).

v2 Charm Upgrades are located in HoH (Halls of Honor).  All charm types can drop in any area of HoH.  Avatar of Heavens has the highest chance of dropping v2 charms.

So I want to go for a UC – who should I do first?
There is some debate about this but the general consensus is that you should do a Paladin first.  The benefit to your entire group is just too huge to ignore.  Yes, your main Tank is going to need the HPs on the UC eventually, but you need to keep them alive too.  A UC’d Pally is an amazing beast on this server. 

Best possible order =
Paladin
Cleric (or 1st if cleric is your only healer)
Warrior
SK (or 2nd if you’re using an SK as a main tank)

All other DPS classes (excluding Casters)
Casters last (although a UC’d Wizzie is awe inspiring)
