Spell advice

[walkinthrurain]

Any advice on the spell training people started off with? What spells do you want to rush for vs. slacking in another circle?

It really depends what build you have. If you're currently a swinger, getting 211 and 215 is really worth it (Most clerics are swingers, or at least semi-swingers until 20 or so).

I'd say most clerics single in Cleric circle regardless of build. getting 103 is pretty much required, and 107 is helpful. After either 103 or 107, 215 is a normal goal, followed by 120. Then it's a choice between 130 or 219-225.

I'm 49, and currently have the following:

Spell Lists
Major Spirit.......................| 35

Spell Lists
Minor Spirit.......................| 30

Spell Lists
Cleric.............................| 62

Every train I get 1 more Cleric, then get as many MjS as I can (goal is 240) Then I'll get to +21 in Cleric, and start getting MnS for defense. Yay cookie cutter builds.

If you are in Voln and like to raise you don't need to worry about 130 for awhile, 120 is a nice defensive spell though.

I would shoot for 225 before 130. Being able to do rescues is nice when you don't feel like hunting.

125 and a bit of perception/arcane symbols is a great way to get your own boxes open as well. With 33 ranks of AS and 50 ranks of perception, I haven't missed a glyph trap since level 30 (At the time I didn't even bother checking). I've even disarmed a -119 glyph with only the 33 ranks of AS and no Disarming Traps. If you plan on leveling in Zul Lugoth or River's Rest (actually, tons of locksmiths there during the right hours, it's off-peak hours that you'd struggle) 125 is a GREAT spell to have.

But good point about 130, with Symbol of Return (I got mine at about level 22, with some heavy undead grinding) you won't really need it. You can stop at 120 to get to 219/225, then work for 125, or get 125 the go for 225, or what have you.

Again, it all depends on your build!

I'm 49, and currently have the following:

Holy crap 49 already!

Anyway, I did something like this, (but I also swung until level 25 or so)

Cleric at least 1x a level, as for the others...

201, 202

101,102,103

203-215

104-120

215-225 (at the times I could triple in spells I tried to get 225 pretty quick)

120-130

Now I am something like (at level 41)

cleric - 53

minor - 30

Major - 30

It really does depend on if you want to rescue. I did not get 225 until around level 35 or so and 130 around 55...
