Raise Dead Wand

[Lothsahn]

Looking for a self-mana or self-recharging raise dead item that a wizard can use--something that won't break.

Also looking for a self-mana or self-recharging well of life item that a wizard can use.

If you have anything like that, drop me a message at Lothsahnatyahoocom, or you can contact me in game as Lothsahn.

[Lothsahn]

Bump.

[thefarmer]

If you can find Earthdiver, he has both.

edit: Though it's been several months since I've talked with him.

[Lothsahn]

Thanks. I've contacted him, but still looking until/unless I hear something...

[Lothsahn]

Still looking. Haven't heard from Earthdiver. Anyone know where he might be?

[waywardgs]

Stealing things in the park?

Why the need for self-charging? The WOL scrolls are easy to find, and Raise dead mage rechargables aren't that rare, and the number of times you're likely to need to use the thing aren't that high. I'd go that route, as you're going to pay a kings ransom for the self-chargers.

Yeah. Just use the town NPC. Non-clerics can't gain exp or use chrism gems. Really not much need, unless you are looking for the tools in case of field raising in a small handful of areas where fogging ain't possible.

Earthdiver's taking a break from the game, as he was accepted into grad school and is focused on that. His stuff isn't necessarily gone, as he'll be back, but he ain't coming back for a while.

[Belnia]

Grad school is an expensive mistake.

(I took Archigeek's comment as an example, because I/Lothy hear this a lot)

Lothy is a fairly talented wizard, but he does things "outside of the box", if you might say. For instance, he hunts with haste+sword/shield. For that reason, he would like to be able to raise. I suppose a mage-rechargeable raise dead item may suffice, but Lothy's never charged before, and because he's a war wizard, his magical abilities are somewhat lacking. For that reason, I'd be concerned that I'd have a major failure and blow up the item.

I wasn't aware of the restrictions on exp for non-clerical raises. However, he has no problem getting experience hunting and would just love to be a "strange" raiser around the lands, if it is at all possible. Just kinda want a permanent solution that I'm never worried about the "per charge" cost or risk of blowing up the item, so that I can use it while needed.

Hope that clarifies...

Wish him the best of luck. I've had as much school as I can personally stand, and thankfully I'm in a profession where I don't need a PhD or masters to earn a decent living. :)

I sold a 5x/day Raise Dead staff a few ago, but I really doubt it's moving from its current owner.

[Belnia]

The current owner uses it quite a bit!

If you aren't having any luck with self-charging/self-mana, try getting a charging crystal and a mage rechargable wavable raise dead instead. The well of life scrolls are common enough that you don't need to worry much about having a stock of those. Plus, you can charge other items with the crystal too.

The crystal will probably run you about 40 million silvers and the wavable mage rechargable raise dead maybe runs you 2-3 mil for something ordinary, or a bit more if you want something special.

As for raising people, a cleric is generally always going to be people's first choice. A good cleric has some huge advantages over you, that you can never overcome. You, and the person you are raising will end up in a longer RT, and they'll likely have less spirit when they wake up. A chrism gem will also afford them a good amount of their lost EXP back, and you can't do that either. Still, I find it to be a very useful skill, and rarely get complaints, because I'm usually doing it somewhere a cleric isn't available.

Oh, and don't forget you'll need 24 ranks in spirit mana control.

[m444w]

unlikely you'll get anyone that owns a charging crystal to sell it at all, let alone 40 mill

[Archigeek]

I dunno. They're more common than self-charging/self-mana raise dead items. Either way, he's going to have to be patient if he doesn't want to go the mage-rechargable route with the risks of destroying the item. Not to mention that everyone knows what he's looking for, so he's going to get raked over the coals when someone decides to part with one.

[Belnia]

Sergey just sold 2 charging crystals at 55 million each in under 6 hours.

[Archigeek]

Well there you go. Looks like you need 55 million silvers to get what you want. Probably going to cost you that either way.

Ooh, didn't know I needed 24 ranks in spirit mana control. That's gonna be costly :)

Forgive the ignorance, but what exactly is a charging crystal and how is it used? Feel free to also point me at a howto or a manual...
