Enchanter Questions

[szechuan]

Hi

I've only been playing a week and I have a few questions.

I'm planning on going the mana route, I've read a few specs and the most common seems to be 48 mana 24 light 8 enchantment so I think I'll try that.

When I was doing lvls 1-5 I actually put points into skills before I was an enchanter does that matter? Is it going to gimp me in some way?

Also, what lvl can I enter the BGas I'm dying to get some PvP action (main reason I bought the game was for PvP server)

As I'm at lvl 10 now should I be looking for a group even though I'm doing pretty well taking down yellow and orange wolves, badgers and little, annoying men (forgot name).

What equipment should I be looking for, I currently wear grey con gloves, hat and cloak and a +1 constitution ring.

Thanks

Hi, and welcome to DAOC

You seem to be doing quite well on your own mate, and you have chosen the most group friendly route IMHO at the moment.

Putting points into skills before level 5 shouldnt make a difference, I usually put some points into light so I can get to lvl 5 a little easier and dont usually have any problems after level 5

Your equipment would ideally need to con yellow or orange, but doesnt matter armour wise unless you plan on getting hit

Your staff matters in the fact that better staff helps with your spell casting in some way (someone will tell you and me why I imagine) but it will help

Oh and first BG is level 20 .

Good luck, and have fun

Yeh someone gave me a yellow con staff after I /released after dying which cheered me up a bit - the staff adds 10 to int and 10 to something else. How do I tell a staff has (magical?) properties by looking at it as when I right click it just tells me the dps, qual etc.?

If you do Shift and I once you have right clicked on the item, it brings up another box and that shows you the information for the item

staffs

the focus on a staff will affect how much mana u use when u cast a spell

if u cast a spell with a lower lvl than the focus for that spec line on the staff u're using it will use very little mana, nevermind the additions to stats u get with higher lvl staffs

yes you should look for groups.. they give u the best experience, and they're the most fun (solo-ing sucks ass!)

if u cant find one, start one yourself - do a /who <lvl's close to you> and bug any1 u find there if they wanna join.. it's a mission, but when u get it right, the rewards are well worth it

as a chanter, i guess u should look for equipment that gives u +dex, +int or +pow mainly.. i cant think of any offhand tho for your lvl.. the con of your armour isnt that important since u shouldnt be getting hit
