If you plan on raiding I would start working towards 90/100 SV Magic/Fire/Cold. You can either buy resist jewelry or start hunting for SV items.

My critique is that you should level first and worry about gear later (especially as a caster) ... IF you want to get powerful as quickly as possible.

But ultimately it's a game and you should do what's fun for you.

Thats a great set of gear for someone new to P99.

Necros can level to 60 naked.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Categor...ncer_Equipment

Can go slot by slot and sort by int / mana / hp and figure out what else you could get.

Hello, good to see another necromancer blazing the trail. I can offer you some suggestions, but first I need to know do you have a price range you are working with? Are you farming plat + leveling? Some items range in price, before I offer suggestions, I would like to know how much plat you have to roughly work with.

Here are my personal suggestions for buyable upgrades for fair prices. I will include some higher end items too. Your gear is good enough to get 60 though, I agree with the above statements.

loam arms -- Gatorscale sleeves - runs 250pp - 300pp (if you need some extra HP)
lizard scale belt -- Crystalline silk belt - Runs about 2k
golden efreeti boots -- Coldain skin boots - Runs about 2k
dire wolf hide cape -- Iksar hide cape -- Runs about 3-4k
loam leggings -- Astral Leggings of the titans runs just under 1k
harvester -- Tome of the eternal, Roklys channeling crystal, or Ornate Rune shield -- 600pp - 1.2k
dagger of marnek -- Iksar hide manual or Frozen orb -- both around 500-650pp
If you have the money boneshear or Eye of Narandi are nice range slots for 8-10k.

The rest of the items I left out I am having a hard time thinking of fairly available tradable upgrades. Maybe Shaii'din Revenant bauble for ears, but that is really it.

Good luck to you!
