Instant Clickies

[d3r14k]

Is there a low end / cheaper option for "Casting Time: Instant" equipment? Looking to bypass the global cooldown timer. The effect doesn't matter much, though I'd prefer if it wasn't a negative spell (damaging to HP or stats).

Still learning a lot of the equipment. So far the cheapest one I've seen is along the lines of the Shrunken Goblin Skull earring but I find it hard to believe there isn't a 100-500pp alternative that I just don't know about. If I can obtain it myself, that's even better. (~lv. 25)

You're my hero. I'm assuming that's on the cheaper end since the wiki doesn't have a price chart for it.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Like ~50pp. If you can't find one pm me, I can give you one later today for free :)

Which class do you need the clicky for? There are some class specific ones (sow boots for shm, insid Rod for enc, etc)

https://wiki.project1999.com/Star_of_Eyes (effect usable by all classes from inv)
The quest is a bit of a pain in the ass but deffo worth it and a lot better than Scope

[Pokesan]

honestly you should be banned if you use clickies

[mefdinkins]

I still use Kromzek Surveyor Scope on my druid and it's annoying (makes you look forward so can mess with your vision) but useable from inventory and cheap as nuts.

Star of Eyes is amazing and the rest of stuff I won't mention are probably a little bit more intense.

[port9001]

Star of Eyes is the answer

It's the result of this quest https://wiki.project1999.com/Tarton%27s_Wheel

Depends on your class how easy it will be to get. Being able to cast enduring breath is necessary for a few of the rods. Although it's not terribly hard to get that buff from someone (carry Fish Scales!). Beyond that invis would be a real help, and invis vs. undead even more so.

The hardest rod to get is the one in guk. If you have never killed a frog you can skip down to the undead side without invis, otherwise you'll need it to get to past the live frogs. Then you'll need IVU to get down to the hand room. Finally, you'll need BOTH if the hand room is popped as the hand is not undead but there's a dead frog in the room with him. When I did this on an enchanter I used IVU to find a friendly necro down there and he cast invis on me so I had both types of invisibility at once. You might get lucky and the hand is not up.

Some of the other underwater rods are lightly guarded by goblins, invis will be enough to get by them. And I wanna say the Everfrost one has some skeletons pathing around that are level 20ish.

Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring or Kromzek Surveyor Scope are your best bets. Downside is the earring has no stats and must be equipped and Scope has the annoying zoom in effect.

It's not ideal to have an instant clicky that requires something to be targeted (e.g., Rod of Insidious Glamour, Star of Eyes, etc) in addition to the dedicated inventory slot you need to keep open.

But why the need for instant clickies? Do they serve a function besides their intended use?

[Jimjam]

Yes. Normally when you cast a spell it takes a couple of seconds for your spell bar to open up to casting another spell.

Using instaclick items instantly refreshes your spell bar's cooldown timer.

Putting these two facts together you can

Cast spell
Finish casting spell
Hit instaclick
Cast spell

instead of

Cast spell
Finish casting spell
Wait a couple of seconds
Cast spell


Which is pretty useful.

It also has some interesting interplay with how spell slot 1 works, but that is a little more complicated and I won't go into that now.

[Shrubwise]

Never thought about that, thxu~

[Nagoya]

If you're a wizard trying to just burn down a mob chain casting your biggest DD in its face using up all your mana, this trick can pretty much increase your dps x1.5 it's quite crazy o_O day and night. I got it (the scope) at like level 20 or so and it completely blew my mind how I could have played all these years without it hehe.

Spell slot 1 is the only slot that insta-refreshes the gem slot irregardless of its cool down, after using an insta-clicky. It won't bypass the spell cooldown, but it will refresh the spell gem slot so you can cast that spell again. For spells that take longer to cast then to refresh, it saves time and lives.

[TheOutdoorNerd]

Being able to spam heals and nukes is awesome and useful, and there's lots of scenarios where it's game changing, like:

-- Casting Jboots or invis on the run
-- Fast canni for shaman
-- Insta charm break for charming classes with insta-invis items
-- Agro reset for Necros and SKs with FD and pre-nerf circlet
-- Quick junk buffs for fights where you're getting dispelled

Also, even clickies that have a casting time reset the timer when they're done. For example, with a shaman you can canni immediately after the 8 second cast of the JBB and then click the JBB with no delay, sneaking in a canni between casts. So even long cast clickies let you do voodoo with the timer. Potions work the same way.

My necro doesn't have Jboots but I'm guessing you could click them on the run and then click the circlet really fast and basically be able to cast your run speed buff on the run without dropping your invis? Either way, casting on the run is awesome.

But why the need for instant clickies? Do they serve a function besides their intended use?

The client normally disables spell gems for a short period of time after casting, so you cannot cast spells back to back without waiting for the spell gems to become enabled. If you use an instant click item though, the spell gems will immediately be unlocked and you can cast. This enables you to do things like cast color slant (6 second stun) and allure (6 second cast) to recharm a mob as an enchanter without being hit... normally the spell gem lockout would not allow you to cast charm immediately after stun and you would take damage, maybe even get stunned yourself or interrupted

Does anyone know if Star of Eyes requires a target to click cast or an item on your cursor?
Do you have to be a Wizard?
What is the minimum level to get the Glowing Chest container from the Tarton's Wheel Quest?
The wiki lists the quest as minimum level 35, but maybe that's just for the final turn-in?
Does anyone know the respawn timer on the ground rods?

I will test these questions and report back once I complete.

BTW Star of Eyes is an amazing potential option! I'm going for it on my 60 enchanter.

Rod of Insidious Glamour requires a target and is annoying with the spell particles it creates. Sometimes it can conceal the particles of the spell the NPC is casting.

Goblin Earring requires sacrificing an earring slot.

Kromzek Surveryor Scope causes migraines.

10/10 great advice forum!

It requires a target but does not require an item on your cursor

Do you have to be a Wizard?
Anyone can use it from inventory

Does anyone know the respawn timer on the ground rods?
30 secs maybe? Very short either way.

One less known fact about Star of Eyes is that the Identify spell is regarded as a beneficial spell and therefor can be used for secondary aggro tagging (useful for when grabbing faction hits, etc)

[acidosis]

I've read that Star of Eyes also has a smaller targeting range than Rod of Insidious Glamour.

[khandman]

Soulfire should be equipped for clicky :)

Star of Eyes requires a target, and it's range is exactly half that of Rod of Insidious Glamor. I got one for my 60 Enchanter because I can't stand Rod's spell particles, but I can't bear to use the Star of Eyes so it just sits in the bank. Star of Eyes looks great at first glance, but unless you like standing right on top of mobs it's just not very practical imo. 100 Range is not much range at all.

Pretty sure the Star of Eyes quest can be completed at lvl 1 though, I would assume the "minimum level 35" is in reference to the fact most people sub-35 wouldn't be able to get the Guk piece. The ground rods respawn almost instantly, as soon as you pick yours up another one will spawn.

If you're a necro, Words of Darkness from the Sol Ro Temple quest is "free", doesn't need to be equipped, and works indoors where you can't use jboots. Goblin earring needs to be equipped, surveyor scope is just annoying as all get out, and star of eyes needs a target.

[gkmarino]

Damn it I thought it wouldn't require a target I thought Identify was a self only spell :(

[fastboy21]

target yourself, use item, target last target...programmable keyboard ftw.

[port9001]

People are overstating how annoying needing a target is. The target can be anything: you, a groupmate, a random guy walking buy, the enemy you're fighting. The range is far more annoying but can work around it easily. I find the telescope zoom effect far harder to deal with.

Obviously if you have the option of something that's self only or longer range, use that.

[Canelek]

I love the glam rod. Used a scope from teens to 34 or so when I was able to do the rod of insidious glamor quest. Super awesome. I have a scope for the druid and it is annoying as all shit. Need to find a better item there.

[astronaut]

I'd rather use goblin earring than deal with any of the disadvantages of other clickies. And only use it in a dungeon.

[Izmael]

The target requirement is very marginally annoying, if ever at all. The very few times it happened to me were pretty much always during a rebuffing / downtime phase where for some reason I didn't have a target and a buff was cast a second later or so.

In a combat situation you pretty much always have a target.

[dbouya]

can non-enchanters use Rod of Insidious Glamour?

[Qtip]

can non-enchanters use Rod of Insidious Glamour?

No. Has to be equipped.

[Lhancelot]

No. Has to be equipped.

It can be clicked from inventory slot also, does not have to be equipped. It does have to be an enchanter to use it from inventory though.
