Skill upgradesFollow

Does anyone have a good link that details how skills are upgraded. I know that you have to buy appII, and create appIII, but I am just curious what happens beyond that. I have heard a lot of talk about adepts, and I would like to know more about what it takes to achieve them.

Adept 1's are dropped from a range of NPC's

Adpet 3's can be crafted by a player using rare componets.

In theory Adept 2's can be purchased but not sure were off hand.

I see. Thanks. Does anyone know how Masters work? Also, how much do Adept1's cost? Where are Adept2's dropped in Freeport?

Master spells are extreemly rare drops. Like, in beta, there was one per server (they've removed that restriction, but they're still ungodly rare.) That said, a Crusader in our guild got a master scroll (Blackjack) last night. Check out the size of the chest on the left in this thread and that's a master chest.

As for Adept II, they are not in the game yet, other than the test server. On there they are toying with giving made spells a "quality", with the quality going from Adept II to Adept IV. Technically, from what I understand, Adept II were supposed to be quested at one point.

Are there levels of Master or just one?

Actually there are 4 spell levels per type:

Apprentice
I – granted
II – granted on certain spells, or sold by NPC vendors
III – crafted from common components
IV – basic quest reward

Adept
I – treasure chest drop
II – difficult quest reward
III – crafted from rare components
IV – long, difficult quest reward, no trade

Master
I – dropped as treasure, no trade, Exremely rare.
... the creature mastery skills/spells are Master I, but they are restricted to use on particular mob types.
II – unknown (not implemented at this time)
III –crafted from extremely rare components
IV – artifact rarity, 1 per server, no trade

component foraging tier relates to the level at which the ability or spell is first gained. 1-10 would be tier 1 commons (lead, malachite) or rares (rough lapis, copper cluster), 11-20, tier 2 commons (electrum, turquoise) or rares (rough coral, silver cluster), etc. so cerebral spasm, a level 15, tier 2, spell, would use electrum or turquoise (commons) for the ink when making the appprentice 3 scroll, and rough coral or silver cluster (rares) for the ink when making the adept 3 scroll.

i've not confirmed the scrolls that have been noted as quest rewards as yet.

How can Master IV be no trade and one per server? What if I found a spell of somekind that I would never be able to use, and I can't sell or trade it to a mage?

just quotin what i read :).

cant remember where i found that bit, though :x.

it's possible that it might be a quest reward, or a reward from a very high level mob that will only be killed once. hard to say.

it's also possible that it ceases to drop or whatever when someone actually scribes it.
