DE Necro Startup Tips?
Hey all,
I'm starting up a dark elf necro and it's been slow going. I could use a few tips. More specifically... 1) Where should I go to level up at first? I'm currently level 3 and Nektulos has been rough. 2) Where is a good place to farm bone chips? The skellies in Nektulos seem to be pretty far out. 3) Should I be pumping int/sta or int/agi? 4) It's been nine years since I played, so any other useful tips would be greatly appreciated. | ||

I can't think of a reason to ever put points in Agi though. You shouldn't be depending on dodge much as Necro. That's a true case of "doing it wrong". Quote:

I just started recently.
1. Get level 3 then go to EC. People on this server are really nice and will buff you up at the tunnel. Score and HP buff from a dru or cle, sow from a dru or sham, and most important a damage shield from mage or dru. With those buffs just smack something once and let it kill itself. Shoot for yellow or even red mobs and you can get to 10 in a few hours. Go for bears as priority as their HQ skin sells for 10pp and will buy your early spells. 2. Bone chips, buy sense undead, if you run low, chain cast it and hunt down skellies. Eventually youll hit up befallen which will stock you for a while. Thsn youll hit up unrest sometime and will be set for even longer. 3. People always say go sta/int, but really, I started completely fresh. Not having mana early game will hurt you. Maybe Im gimping myself out of 50hp late game, but that extra mana has probably been the clutch factor when having just enough for FD tons of times. | ||

Once I hit level 4. I parked my character in EC, at a spot where mobs pathed over at a good frequency, then I just AFK'd for like 4 hours lol. Came back and had gained over 5orange...not too shabby.

It won't be optimal in Classic, but in Kunark and beyond it's better than int/stam.

Hmmm... I made a DE yesterday and put 25 into int, 5 into Sta. Are we talking gear here or will that 20 point Sta difference really have a noticable effect? On a related note, I just got fear, hit level 5, and it drains like half my mana bar even though I pumped Int... can't even use it yet unless I want to med for 5 mins in between every mob. In Kunark Iksar necro should be way optimal anyway right? Really debating just going mage, chanter, or druid for now, Iksar in lich form is so much better. | |||

Well I stuck with the necro, now I'm level 8 and it's going better as I get more spells to play with. I finally got my first health to mana spell, pet heal, invisibility, and have some new diseases and leach coming at 12.
For future reference I'd recommend staying in Nektulos until level 8 as a DE necro, then going to Ecomm. Now all I need is bind and gate and I'm good to go. | ||
