How do you organize your spellbook?

[Droop]

So rocking my first caster in many, many years. How do you all organize your spell books? Specially now that the right-click thing is gone?

I have mine set up in stacks

first line or 2 are damage spells, arranged via level

next lines are buffs for self

next are buffs for others

next are the randoms like res's and dispells.

Just by level.

The first couple pages are spells I frequently used, then i threw stuff i knew i was never going to use into the back (really low level nukes, except level 1 nuke which is useful for stuff, low level pets, lower level shielding spells, etc).

This.

First two pages are my normal spellset - AoE, highest nuke, gate, bind affinity, current shielding spell, root, snare, etc, along with my three most often-used buffs - See invis, invis, and chillsight (I'm a blind erudite wizard).

Pages three and part of four are all of my gate (self-port) spells. The rest of page four and part of page 5 are all of my portal spells. Page 6 are evacs. Page 7 are supplemental buffs (resistant skin, elemental shield, steelskin, etc).

I'm planning on organizing the rest of it according to level, descending. But for right now it really doesn't affect gameplay, so i might do it while bored and waiting for something in a raid or something...

I just put all the spells i regularly use in the front then put spells further in that I use less. Kinda group like spells, ie Illusion and such. I deleted a lot of my lower level spells that I won't need again.

For just about all my casters, first few pages are all heals related spells, the next ones are direct damage/DoT based spells along with debuffs, then buffs, then random spells that don't really fit into the other groups.

All prioritized by level and usally they are all clumped together (direct damage with direct damage, strength buffs with strength buffs, ETC.). Started doing this when I first started my shaman back when EQ first launched, that way I keep everything organized and could switch out spells with relative ease without having to dig through my spellbook to find it.

What can I say, I like to be neat with my spells [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Alphabetized by level. Level 1's being on the first page, 50's in the back

On my necro I just created this is how I think I am going to do it. Only level 4 now so there isn't a huge need yet, trying to get some more ideas.

Do you find at the high-level you wish you had done this backwards from (now) 60->1 instead of 1->60?

Yes, but at the time I didn't feel like calculating backwards and thought I would make a mistake which when dinging 50 would force me to shift all my spells like one slot to the right.

One thing you may wanna check, which I can't remember is when you open your book and flip to a page, if you reopen it later the page stays on the last page you were on. If that is true then reversing the order wouldn't hardly matter.

Also make sure to leave room for velious!
