uGH please help young wizard :(

Being level 25, I am stuck with my research at the moment because I was not sure how to raise it by making trivial spells. Currently its at 36 only

After hunting I have about 3 bags of runes, but unfortunately not a single combination can I make out of all these runes I have. I dont have any of my level 20 research spells or my level 24 (except ones that can be vendor bought like levitate)

I have searched the bazaar and vendors in POK for runes and spells, but can find none.

I read a long time ago that you could buy some runes to make trivial spells and combine, but i have lost that info and cannot find it anymore.

I read there was a vendor in OOT or something like that.

I have looked at the SPell FAQ on Graffes and the WIzarde FAQ etc etc.

Is there a vendor that sells runes? If so where might he or she be located?

I used my only runes that can make my level 24 spells up when my research attempt failed, then I saw the post about Spell Trivial here and realized I needed like a 71 for level 24 spells before it went trivial.

How do wizards fight without all these upgrades?

Im getting very frustrated. I dont even know where to go to "farm" runes.

None of the sites are very helpful.

moratin,

as far as i know there is no particular vendor that sells runes. A lot of players just dump runes off on the closest vendor so i suggest just start hitting up vendors as you come by them.

Shadow Haven vendors alway have Paladual People selling research components to them.

I found ALL of my level 20 research components on Shadow Haven Vendors.


Look at the merchants around the PC zoneline.

Well, as above posters have mentioned, Shadowhaven is a good place to find runes sold by players. I have been finding a lot of low to mid level runes on the Bazaar merchants, and even PoK vendors. Rathe Mountains merchants (in the huts,& also the gypsies’ tents) and Thurgardin have been good places for runes too.

(nb: remember at level 25, your research skill cap = (25 -15) * 5 = 50, so at skill 36 you can only skill up 14 more points.) Spells at level 20 trivial at 46, then spells at level 24 trivial at 71.

Take a look at the list below, it’s a cross reference of wizard runes & spells. These are the only runes you need to collect for now, anything NOT on this list, sell (unless you luck out and get your hands on Advanced Research runes – bank those for later!)

NB: There are two runes of attraction, both named the same, there seems to have been a stealth fix so that either one will combine in the relevant recipes, but they don’t stack with each other. There are also two runes of fulguration, they don’t stack and I’m not sure if they ‘stealth fixed’ this one, so you may have to try both.

Hope this helps!
