Most Expensive Spells in the Game

[WarpathEQ]

If you notice the spell costs are pretty directly correlated to how valuable the spell is to that class maximizing their potential, and how effective the class is at farming. AKA the most expensive spells are expensive because they earn players the most money.

For example I've probably made about a 2500% return on buying Torpor for my shaman and subsequently farming stuff that I couldnt without Torpor.

I can post some links if it's that serious. But if you're curious you can also go on Google and search EverQuest + Fungi Tunic and then set the date filter for 1999 - 2001 (it will only pull up threads from that time period).

On my server I remember Velious being very different than P99. I remember every high level player wanting Skyshrine Breastplate, and every Monk I knew wearing the Velious armor in their chest slot and thinking how insane it looked. Most of us saw Fungi Tunic as a twink leveling item, and would swap it out the second we got a Velious BP. I know in 2025 people will say that was bad / stupid, but that was the meta. Perhaps it was different on your server, but my own searches show a Fungi Tunic as being a relatively cheap item compared to how it's priced today. Granted solo'ing is a lot more meta on P99 as well. It can genuinely be hard to find a group or have the time to fully commit to a group for a lot of us.

AC and mob attack values feel quite different here to live.

Supply and demand too. Nec/shm/ench are pretty popular because they're solid classes and they also have pricey spellbooks. Sunstrike is pretty central to wizards but nearly no one plays them so it is 400pp.

Dictate is 20k but if you don't farm chardok you basically don't need it. You can make it up in a couple of days in there though so worth it if that's your style. Bedlam (12k) is A LOT more useful though even if cheaper. Maybe I was just unlucky but it took me a lot longer to find a copy of bedlam on the market (like 3 weeks checking every day). Bedlam probably drops more but there was like 5 chanters looking for it when I tried to buy mine. The market isn't always rational.

torpor will be going to 97% RA 's 54 shaman alt instead of 30% RA shaman main
