Cultural TS regarding imbues (deities)

[Kieroth_whiteleaf]

I'm relatively sure there's a human cleric of karana - they have a cleric/pally guild in qeynos.

I could be wrong though. Rare if any actual players tho, and I doubt the spell can be scribed to them.

Regarding solusek ro smithing:

no 'cultural' sol ro stuff. There are J/C and pottery combines, but that's it :/ *I* think you should be able to add them to robes for int casters. They'd be pretty useless in smithing.

The JC/pottery combines (like all the other similar items) can be made by anyone (no race/class/diety restrictions) but only work for sol ro followers.

You're both right -- I'll see if I can edit that post to say human cleric of Karana and troll shaman of Innoruuk and CT.

And while we are on the subject of deities ... I never understood why bards can't worship Innoruuk. Anyone who thinks you can't sing about hate has never listened to real punk.

Someone may want to verify imbues on the karana thing - I know that some of the class/diety priest combinations can't scribe their own imbue, but don't know which ones offhand.

I *THOUGHT* it was cleric of Karana, but I've been wrong at least once before...

Bards can't worship the "evil" deities, ie., Bertox, Innoruuk, or Cazic-Thule.
They can worship Rallos Zek, though...

[Kieroth_whiteleaf]

Rallos isn't evil, he's just misunderstood

Help! I need someone to imbue

Foraged and bazaared 3 stacks of Plains Pebbles and blew 40p to buy the imbue spell 3 times. I wonder how long it will take to find someone who does the imbuing for me - although yesterday I offered

1. the spell
2. 100 p per imbued stack
0r
3. 1/2 of the pebbles as payment

no in in PoK, BB or EC reacted

[Kieroth_whiteleaf]

My advice:

If you need that many imbued, hang out in EC and offer to buy the *mass imbue* spell and toss in some plat in exchange for the casts.

Just so you know, even at the middle levels (40-50) imbuing that many gems takes a LOT of time and mana, even with the mass imbues. I'd do it for what you were offering, but I tend to have too much time on my hands anyways.

Mass imbue spells are sold in the tunnel in EC for ~75pp - but the catch is that they are NOT droppable. So you basically have to give the person the plat, they buy the spell, then they start imbuing.

I wouldn't be willing to cast 60 normal imbues in a chain, but I'd probably be willing to sit through 12 mass imbues.

They are droppable now, it was changed in a patch a while back.

One thing to remember, up until a while back, there was no deity restriction on the shaman Imbues, so an old Shaman (like Myself) may be able to do more than his own. If you already had the spell inscribed, you got to keep them. I can Imbue Ivory (I am a Barb) and Jade ( I had this already), Unforntently I never bothered to pick up the other shaman Imbue, as I had no use for it. ( I got the Imbue Jade to make some RZ Northman Weapons for a buddy)

If you know that you are going to constantly need specific imbues then its often easier to level an alt of your own to the required level than have to depend on finding someone else to do it.

With the notable exception of the PoP imbues which require a fairly high level player to complete, all the normal imbues can be done by the specified classes at level 29. You would have to try pretty hard not to be able to level a new alt from scratch to level 29 in more than a fortnight and most people would be able to get them there over a long weekend.

My own main is an enchanter which pretty much covers all the imbue spells (except Imbue Torment which is the worlds biggest pain in the rear end to get)

He is also a tinker so he needs imbued rubies or black sapphires in order to make tinkered armour. We'll unless you are pretty insane and decided to go with the Bertolloxxus route from some perverse desire for self flajulation, pretty much every gnome with a brain goes the ruby route and levels a brell cleric of some form to make the rubies for them. I decided to go the gnome cleric route as then she would be able to use the armour that my main produces. In hindsight I should have gone with a dwarf cleric as that would open up a whole area of cultural smithing that is not available to my main. However I like gnomes and it never really occured to me until much later to make any other type of cleric.

You have a need for imbued plains pebbles? I had the same problem with my Halfling Ranger of Karana and his cultural fletching, he needs imbued plains pebbles by the bucket load. Solution? I made a brother for him in the shape of a Halfing Druid of Karana and leveled him to 29 so that he could do the combines for the ranger.

Levelling an alt just to do imbues and combines for you isn't for everyone but if you are stuck it is the most obvious and less frustrating way to solve you imbue problem. And there is another great advantage to alts, you get a much better apprecitation of the abilities and limits of the other classes and you might just find that you prefer playing that class over you current main - I did, my original main was a froglok paladin and I only made my gnome enchanter because I wanted a steady source of mana vials, magic clay and enchanted metals. However I enjoyed playing the enchanter so much I don't think I put more than two more levels onto my paladin since I started what was only supposed to be a tradeskill alt.

Good advice....

...and its not that I haven't thought about that - but fact is I would be forced to delete toons that allready have a minor TS function as I did spread my tradeskills and I would need even 3 slots (Karana, Tunare, Rallos Zek).

So before I lvl 3 toons over 3 weeks and teach 2 of them baking and fishing to 200 guess I will just keep /ooc ing my desire for imbues during LFG time....

I just hope I will be able to avoid such "mistakes" on EQ2

okay, ive seen what worshipper can be what....
now what can each worshipper imbue?

Specifically, I'm wondering what can a Rodcet Nife worshipper imbue?

One way to experiment is to search on the main site for "Spell: imbue". That gives a list of the imbue spells, including both the diety based ones (the topic of this thread) and the PoP class-based ones. Reading through the list, the item "spell: imbue opal" is restricted to Rodcet Nife followers. Thus, Rodcet's imbued gem is opals.

Thank you!

I, personally, have some alts for imbues/enchants. My main is a 65 Bst tradeskiller (250 Baking, Brewing, JC. 221 Tailoring. 220 Smithing, Pottery, Fletching.)

I have an Enchanter who has no purpose other than to enchant metals and make vials. Currently still low level (12), but soon, I'll be levelling him to 49. I don't have plans to go beyond that for the PoP imbues...but we'll see.

I have a High Elf Cleric to Tunare for Solstice Robes (Imbued Emerald). The emeralds have other uses, of course, but that was the primary reason. He is level 30.

I have a new Human Cleric to Erollisi Marr for the Star Ruby Quartz. This is in preparation for post-200 Pottery. She is now level 18. Started her this weekend. She is not PLed...has just fought in a group (with various alts that are on my second account and my girlfriend's account) in Paludal.

A while back, I had created one of each class for Vah Shir to complete the Officer's Cloak quest. So, I had to do tradeskilling for all 4 of the non-bst characters also. The rogue, shaman, and bard have since been deleted. The warrior (who's smithing is in the 150ish area) is still there, but only because he's been the tank for other alts to help them through Paludal between levels 4 and 20ish.

I know this is not the route that you want to go, due to character slots, but others in similar predicaments could do such a thing.
