Quick question about Necro for these new servers

[Teflondon75]

If I were to make a necro now and WAY down the road wanted to restart as an Iksar necro can any of the gear be reused or would I be looking at completely regearing? Thanks all!

I cant think of any droppable gear that iksar cant wear but other int casters can. But obviously if you get planar gear (like blighted armors) that is no drop

also kunark gear is mostly better than classic, so you would likely want new gear anyway when Kunark is out

Wait, so you plan on playing a class for like a year and then delete that guy and start again with that same class except that it will be a lizard man instead of whatever? Have you thought this through? Don’t you think you’re going to get a little burnt out trying to climb that ladder again?

First of all, yes, most easily-obtainable gear is droppable. Temple of Sol Ro quest armor, for instance.

Secondly, there is, in fact, at least one significant droppable necro item Iksar can't wear: Golden Efreeti Boots. For Iksar, the best easy alternative is ShadowBound Boots from the Temple of Solusek Ro quest.

And BB, he doesn't have to delete his first necro. He could keep it, mostly naked, and park it somewhere to farm something, or camp it in some raid zone for his guild to use for corpse summons or resurrections. Having a shared necro bot could be awesome for a guild that does Plane of Sky. Of course, only share info with trusted people, and change the password from time to time.

OP, your plan is not crazy. However, consider making a mage first, gathering a bunch of droppable mage/necro items, making your necro, and then having access to both a mage and a necro. In fact, farm 2 suits of gear so your mage remains properly clothed. You can raid with your necro and park the mage at some cash camp to farm when you don't want to play your necro for some reason. Mages can become coth bots later.

Whatever you do, make a new loginserver account for your new necro so you can have a friend log in one and you log in the other. Don't put multiple level 50 characters on one account like a noob.
