D&D Online

I'll look into those bracers, although I'll probably have a hard time finding a group for that now that I'm lvl 6.

Turbine really needs to work on their Compendium, that thing is useless, just a static list. I can't even look up stats or anything... not all DDO players own the D&D books!

Ranged... yeah maybe I'll keep a crossbow next time I find one. It was fun swinging the Muckbane around in Catacombs the other day though, but with my wimpy Wizard STR I had no fear of ever getting any aggro.

Making cash in DDO - since there's no actual economy and the AH seems to be insanely inflated, am I pretty much screwed until I'm high-level and able to sell stuff myself at insanely inflated prices?

Economy wise, make sure you start selling to the specific brokers in the various houses...not the general guys in the marketplace.  They pay MUCH more.  The bracers in question are "armored bracers", and you can find them at level 6 that are equal to the WW bracers I believe.

Have I not noticed the house brokers? I usually just find some vendor (any type) in whichever ward I'm in... guess I'll take some time and take an NPC Tour next time I login...

If you can't buy D Door scrolls, do they drop as loot?

Also, do mages get to pick a new spell when leveling up or do they only get to pick at first level? [My main is a cleric, but I am having fun with a WF Pally/Mage, haven't trained for 3rd yet]

Oh another question: I've acquired three items that give extra SP. Do these stack or am I only getting whatever the max single +SP item is giving? I'm still on a trip so I can't login and check.

Talyn did you use the default wiz build or did you follow another build? Thought I would just dabble in a caster alt see how much I can suck at it haha. I saw several with 18 int rest stats all 10 except Con wich was at 12 I think.

Dunno if that is good or not. Turbine build has 17 int and 12/13 I think in DEX. Then I don't know what feats to pick.

I'm just about certain I used the default build, but I don't remember. I plan to use the wizard as my main, so the whole "unlock a 32 point build" thing is a little distressing if I'll end up having to re-roll the wizard to get a better build out of him.

Unlocking 32pt builds basically means you'd have +1 more in your best stat. Slightly annoying, but not exactly a gamebreaker.

My wizard's main damage is his greataxe, so can't help ya on that part.

Wands are fine at lower levels. As the levels increase, you may not use them other than for when you wouldn't have wasted sp to cast anything at that time anyway. Beats selling them. Maybe.

If you don't feel you're pulling your weight, at the worst just throw firewalls or a dance spell, cast the proper Resists on those who need them, and keep the party Hasted and Blurred. Throwing a displacement on the tank during fights is nice, too. Point is, when in doubt, use your sp to buff other people, and they'll love you for it.

I hate that damn Alltel commercial! Everytime I play my wizard now I think of that stupid commercial and the way they say wizaaad.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I envy you.

They don't stack.
