Magic A Lost Art

[Sam Merc]

Ok, I am ranked at level 31 or so. I've collected a lot of good items. But my magic is only 5. I have spells that require more. The most magic I have gotten is 9. It seels the minimum I need is 10. How do you get it? I've collected about 900 prize codes and haven't run into anything above a Magic 4. If I could get a Magic 10, I would have killer spells. So, meanwhile I shuffle my spells, keeping the high level ones, and hoping that sooner or later there will appear a Magic 10.

I'd just get two +5's (or greater). It would use 2 of 3 charm/jewelry slots, but if allows you to use your spells then it's probably worth it.

I currently run with a +9 charm and 3 items that grant +5. 24 Magic just from items.

A Magic 5 charm or jewelry only run 50 gold at the shop. You can't have 2 of the same item, but you can have 1 Charm, 1 Ring, and 1 Earring...

Ok, I have my Magic to 10 (1 4 charm and a 6 Jewelry). Now I ned it to 20. I would buy it cause I have the money, but ever since I got enough money, the shops haven't had magice above a 5.

You have to check the shops, when you need a specific item, like a 10 (or 15) charm or jewelry, every 15 minutes. Gets old, but that's the only way to do it. That's how I finally got the str charm I needed.

got a +9 charm equipped, giving me 14 and a +10 and +5 earing along with a +5 dagger sitting in the bank should I pick up some decent spells. So I can assure you the items do drop

Well, now you only have to check once every three hours. :)

This is good and bad news. No more constant checking of the shops (if you've built up some gold at least), but if the frequency of decent items doesn't change, then finding the item you 'need' may take months rather than days, as it has in the past.

Of course the shops should be full of rare or ultra items, but perhaps one rare or ultra in each category each 3 hour turn over of the shop would give a reasonable balance (with a corresponding increase in uncommons).

If it becomes virtually impossible to get good equipment from the shops, even over a long period of time, then folks who can't/don't recruit a lot are going to give up and leave the game.
