The final stretch

[Zacatac]

So, currently sitting at 286 skill (trophy is at 70%).

I'm thinking after a 2-3 more points, I may just stop doing 64/65s and power the last few points doing nothing but 63s until they go trivial (at 292). That way I can stock up on them while they still give skill ups, and then go back to doing 64/65 spells after 292.

So, what are some of the good 63 spells to make? I might be making large quantities, like up to a stack, of some of them.

Tranquility, Po9, Malosinia. . what else?

Good luck, I'm in the final stretch myself sitting at 294.

A lot depends on the spell market on your server so look for a niche. I avoid putting more than two copies of a single spell on my trader at one time.

Here's a few suggestions of level 63 spells:
Blessing of Replenishment - druids and shaman
Force Shield - necros and wizards
Pious Might - pally
Swarming death - druid
Sound of Might - cleric
Embracing Darkness - necro

PS - I hope you're not on my server (CT)

Protection of the Nine
Swarming Death
Blessing of Replenishment
Spirit of Rellic
Blade of the Kedge
Saryn's Companion

These are the most popular. But also because they are the most popular, prices of some of these spells are down to a few hundred pp due to stacks of them being sold in bazaar. Diversification is the only way to get spells sold.

I do believe exclusively making 63 spells for the stretch between 285-292 is a very good idea though. Just make a few of each but increase your variety as much as you can.

Thanks for the ideas. I might get there faster than I thought. I ended up getting 4 skill-ups over the weekend!

I looked for Force Shield for weeks before someone put it up on the zar (Nameless). Might want to check into that one.

One of the other things I do is check barter occaisonally to see if anyone is looking to buy spells, that can indicate a spell not being made. One day there was someone looking to buy Planar Renewal(64 mage spell) for 10k. That night I made 7 of them, put them in trader the next day for 8k, and sold out in 2 days.

[Elfdruidess]

I wish that'll happen on my server .

18 Planar Renewals in bazaar at 3.5k.

2 hours after Dreary Deeds went droppable, 24 copies in bazzar.

I did make a quick score on the Dreary Deeds, saturated now tho

I started out making a bunch of different spells and tracking how they sold.. then dropping the ones I couldn't sell for a profit (however small... I'm not really trying to make money on it, I'd just like it to fund itself).. now I've figured out the main ones that sell.. and I pretty much keep a stock of 5 spells of those, any time they drop to one I restock.

I'd planned on doing the save, once I hit ~285... just do the Shabby Vellums.. but the problem is they're both rarer, and more expensive than the Fine Vellums, so pretty much I think I'll save my Shabbys till 288, then burn through what I have, and do the other two from there...

Q

[Zacatac]

Well I hit 292 last night, so I won't be buying up any Shabby's now.

[Mortifier]

Grats, I hit 300 on BB Sunday night the 9th. Last few points were a pain ;(

[Zacatac]

I hit 294 now, not too far behind you

Now go post in the 300 thread - http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?t=24873
