Aren't JBoots like 5k? That's a long ways off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Buy gear and sow potions for now. Wizards don't get our first snare until level 29, and our first good AE quad nuke is at level 34. Once you're higher level, you can start porting for plat and save up for j-boots.

Just save the plat for your spells maybe some cheap INT gear

The 5k for Jboots will be a lot easier when you can port ppl for plat

Don't waste your money on gear that doesn't give much benefit.

As a wizard the s ro jboots are pretty easy to solo (grab a high level sow and a staff of temperate flux). Every 8pm hit the desert to check for the 9pm AC pop).

Not at level 9 though.

By the time you can start quadding, you'll be able to port people.

A couple of ports will buy you roughly 10 hours of SoW.

jBoots are half the speed of SoW.

SoW pots, baby.

you won't be able to quad effectively without jboots. they are a critical component. I would never even fathom being reliant on sow pots for your basic leveling, seems like a bunch of shamans in this thread trying to drum up business. you also won't be able to quad without 2-3k in +int/mana gear either tho. I would get you some gear first, and switch over to the jboots when you get around lvl 34 (which is the point you're gonna want to start quadding)

2-3k? Damn, I got the impression that i need just a few +int/mana pieces. Do you have some suggestions on items I should get?

I was quadding with my wizard around lv 24 with jboots. I leveled extremely quickly because of it.

well ya, but "a few" int/mana pieces end up costing 100-300 ea, with some going up to just south of 1k. it adds up real fast. Golden sapphire earrings, loam encrusted set, impskin gloves, braided cinch cord, bracelet of woven grass or golden jaded bracelet, are good items to start looking for.

your mainhand is going to be sotf (staff of temperate flux... not your epic) for 100% of your quadding career, don't bother with a primary.
