Mage focus items for Shaman

[titofuentes]

I was reading up on shaman pets for when I get there and heard that mage focus items are usable from inventory. Is this true? Would be nice since shaman pets are so mana hungry. If they are, how would a shaman get a hold of one? They're no drop right?

Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks

[radditsu]

They work fine

Shovel of Ponz FTW

[titofuentes]

Can any class turn in the items then?

[radditsu]

have the correct faction and yeah

[titofuentes]

Guess its shadowmen killing time. Heh

[phobus]

Yes and yes! I have the torch on my Necromancer, and the shovel on my Shaman. Just get whichever is cheapest or drops first for you if you're farming the pieces yourself.

I will assume I will need to do some faction work as an ogre shaman. Feel free to correct me if that's not the case

[phobus]

I'm an Ogre, but I don't remember specifically doing any faction work for this quest. You can just hail the quest giver and go through the dialog. If he asks you for the items, your faction's high enough.

If it's not, you can do the quest in South Ro where you hand Ortallius some money over and over for faction. It's quicker than killing shadowed men.

[titofuentes]

Sweet. I'll have to try it when I get the items

In com or hs soloing I never used a pet. But in groups and stuff it can be nice to have some emergency mana incase something goes wrong. A torpor or slow can be a lifesaver sometimes.

got the broom on my barb sham =D think ive used it once lol If your even in a spot where a pet dismiss would save you, your probably done for anyway lol Shamans known OP =p

Its not only for that, it is to bring up the strongest pet you can get without pissing away all your mana. Plus yeah you might get enough mana back to gate or get off a root or heal. It is a damn handy item to have. A shaman is crazy not to have one. Their pets use a shitpot of mana to cast. :o

[Legend]

so... you can use mage focus items for all pet classes?

this is new to me, i never knew,

exploit?

does it work on 50+ pets?

[ArumTP]

The focus is used for the reclaim effects.

I got one for my spectacular cleric pet. Go go stien

Splain please?

[phobus]

It's not about the focus effect. Any class can use the Reclaim Energy (http://wiki.project1999.org/Reclaim_Energy) effect without having to equip the item. For most classes it just frees you from having to memorize the spell, but it's even nicer for the Shaman because we never get the spell to begin with.

clearly hes saying it summons the strongest pet for his lvl due to having the item in his inventory?

fact? i dont think any class is suppose to be able to use mage pet focu items from inventory, sounds like a bug/exploit

No, he isn't. He's saying you can reclaim your pet if it's not max level, regaining most of the mana it took to summon in the first place. Repeat until you get a good pet.

To do this without one of these items would mean wasting a lot of mana as a Shaman, because:

[Legend]

this really seems like a bug/exploit

mage only pet foci being used by any class/race

kinda like using donals, where is nigron eli to pull some logs

[phobus]

Are you even reading my posts?

The focus effect is not usable by any other class (it has to be equipped for that anyway).

The clickable effect is. That's what we're talking about here.

[senna]

nerf this pls

[Daero]

I guess for a shaman it's better than nothing, but on my mage I get much more mana back when I cast the spell versus using the clicky.
