Also, about how much does a set of 4x double leather cost these days?

Why the two handed weapons?

And why the really low Discipline roll and really high Agility roll and really average Dexterity roll?

Cool name, and welcome back.

:D

Thx to those who replied.

The 2HW is because this character is a warmage. It is his primary form of attack.

Couple other questions...

Is skinning worth the trouble? I've mastered CoL and could dump off the first aid and survival skills.

Whats the status of wizards opening their own boxes? I last played wizards during the era of the new incinerator traps. Trying to pop your own boxes was a deathtrap. Have things gotten any better since then?

CM. is it worth training CM to get the extra AS?

And finally, lores. Are they worth it? If I were to train em I'd definitely go the earth lore or fire lore route. However, I could always just triple spells more later on instead of dumping points into lores..

What do some of the more experienced warmages think?

Oh and one more question. Climbing and swimming. How much is enough?

Skinning probably isn't worth the trouble; for the sheer cost of FA or survival, it would tank your spells or other more vital abilities quite a bit. They made skins like normal treasure in that hunting pressure decreases value.

You can *probably* pop like age boxes. Use 416 to detect for traps, I recommend casting it a few times to make sure. The only trap it sets off now are glyphs. They have a few dangers of their own being that Ithzir can be in the temporal rift but well thats the only true danger.

I'll leave the Warmage questions to the other crazies.

Climbing/swimming by level 70whatever about 24-30 ranks will get you wherever you need to go including the Rift and Old Ta with a bit of extra weight on.

[Askip]

As a caster I cannot justify CM cost, but I believe the warmages do train in it. Check the last dozen or so topics in this category, I think Anticor (polearm mage) posted his stats.

Also, even with the nerfing of pelt prices they are still my main income. I'm 1x in both survival & FA, with no lores.

10mages=10opinions :D

Good luck and have fun.

i can post my route since i'm a two handed mage, with my lores though, i'm dropping all of them after i train in a few hours and dumping them into CMAN till i get fully maxed there, i've already maxed my spell aiming and my two handers, and my plans since i've stopped training in PT, EMC, MIU, and Scrolls, since i got them as affective as they need to be....i'll be going up to brig armor training. As with you, i also am a pure swinger, and come outta a hunt with full mana. Differance here would be i'm a Voln master but to each there own, CoL would be ALOT easier for a warmage. Anywho let me know if ya need anymore help....this has been VERY rewarding for me and i'd never go back pure...+ I <3 Dwarves!
