Spells from 61-65 QuestionFollow

#1 May 19 2004 at 2:34 PM Rating: Decent
Hello,
Quick question on spells from lvl 61-65 for a Druid. I checked EQ druids and it said most of these spells are found through "Ethereal Parchment Turn-in." Other than that, there is no other info on how to obtain these spells. So can anyone clarify how I obtain these spells from lvl 61-65? What does it mean by "Ethereal Parchment"? I realize you can buy these spells at the Bazaar, but I would like to quest the more expensive spells rather than buying them. Thank you.

61 and 62 spells you get by turning in Etherial Parchments to Wanderer Astobin in PoK.

63 and 64 spells require spectral parchments

65th require Glyphed Rune Words

parchments drop off of Tier 2 and 3 PoP mobs

GRW drop off of Named in PoP tier 2 and 3

good luck in finding a GRW... i have been hunting in tier 3 PoP and have only seen one drop in like 4 months.... they need to up the drop rate on them. i ended up buying the more common 65th spells but Bot9 and acouple of others still elude me. i have seen Bot9 go for like 50k on FV....

Loot these items and turn in for the spells:

Ethereal Parchments give level 61 and 62 spells.
Spectral Parchments give level 63 and 64 spells.
Glyphed Rune Words give level 65 spells.

EPs are fairly common, and for the most part people will let anyone pick them up without a roll, since the spells are so cheap now.

SPs are usually found on more difficult mobs in some of the higher level zones. They are not rare, but not as common as the EPs. Sometimes people will roll on these, since there are a couple spells that can still fetch a decent bit of coin.

GRWs are rare. For the most part you will find these on named and/or boss mobs. Usually as a guild you will loot these and turn in for the needed spells and hand them out to the people.

The prices of many of these spells have dropped signicantly since the release of PoP. Do a search in the bazaar and you might be surprised at how cheap a couple of the spells are.

Kill mobs like Corinav, and you'll see like 10 of them drop.

lol yeah like everyone has elemental access =p of course they drop lots in eplanes, but lots of people dont have access to these zones.

and even in eplanes most rune drops are off raid bosses.

Ethereal Parchments drop in Plane of Valor and Bastion of Thunder--which are level required zones (not just flagged).

Spectral Parchments drop in Bastion of Thunder as do the Glyphed Rune Words (off of the named). I have seen the Runes drop in BoT (never was lucky enough to win one though), but they are rare.

I'd like to add to this. One of the reasons BoT is a very popular hunting spot is that in addition to being very good exp, it also will drop pretty much everything you need/want pre-elemental.

There are a couple major types of "boss" mobs in the bottom area of BoT. The named that spawn in various areas in each of the 4 wings will commonly drop spectrals and the occasional ornate and other junk items. The named mobs that spawn at/near the pads themselves will drop runes (at about the same rate that others drop spectrals). The pad named are a bit tougher then the rest, but not horribly so. A good solid group can certainly manage them. They also drop the ring that you use to make the tower key (every time as far as I've seen).

If you raid the corner towers, many of the "lesser" mobs will drop spectrals and the tower bosses will commonly drop runes (and ornate bits and non-junk weapons and such). Those are much tougher though. You aren't going to be bringing a single group there if anything in those towers is an upgrade...

Runes are certainly obtainable without a raid, and without being elemental flagged. It just takes a lot of time and a bit of luck. Given the potential cost savings versus buying many of those level 65 spells, it's well worth making the effort.

Each time you turn in an EP/SP/GWR you will get a random spell in return. It could take 8 total, or it could take 50. It sucks that it is random, but we all went through it.

It helps if you have friends of the same class too - often guildmates. You will probably get some dupes that the others don't yet have, and they may have a spare you need. I got several of my high end spells as trades.

Also - the higher end spells drop less but at the same time there aren't as many 65 spells as there were in 61/62.
