Adept III must havesFollow

Adept III's are made from rares. This much we know (or you do now). Tier III rare- Rough Jasper is going for 12-15gp on Neriak as of Dec. 2004. Needless to say most people may only have 1 adept III per tier as it seems you will out grow it before you get another 14gp or find another rare.

Here is my question: What would you propose as the must have Adept III? You can break your answer down by tiers if that makes it easier.

29 Assassin here, and uhh rough jasper goes for about 45-75 gp on Permafrost hehe so wish it was 15 gp i would have 20 of them :D but ya i would wait till your 26 as an assassin (or 25 for get what lvl you get Assassin Blade) well im a 29 assassin ive done 665 dmg with app1 assassin blade i have a lvl 26 assassin friend that has adeptIII assassin blade and his highest hit is 772 dmg 3 lvl differance and he still out damages me so much :( spent more then a week farming for a damn jasper if you can get it for 15 gp get it man well worth holding onto it for assassin blade :D btw assassin blade has about a 600 sec reuse or so its long wait but trust me its a nice skill to have :D

Last night, I mined my first piece of Coral so I'm in a similar situation.
I was thinking that I may either upgrade Pierce(since I use
that quite a bit) or Bladed Furry(I don't think there is a
spell upgrade for that).
When I mined my only piece of Lapis, I chose Quick Strike
mainly because I was soloing alot at time. If I had to pick over
again I would go with Sneak Attack or maybe Evade, which like Bladed Furry I don't think it has higher level spell which would make it obsolete.

21 ranger here i would suggest AD3 shadow blade and shadow lunge

Dont argue with an idiot he will drag you down to his level and beat u with expiriance

I heard a ranger the other day praising the value of having adIII makeshift arrows... apparently it gave 45 carbonite hunting arrows instead of the 20 that the adept 1 did, and i imagine you'll probably be using it all your days. All damage spells will get replaced eventually as level cap goes up and up, its things like sneak and makeshift arrows that you'll be using for ever.

those of you who played eq live, imagine upgrading a crappy spell like conflagration (drood here) thinking it was going to be amazing doing an extra few hundred damage, then coming to level 60 and realising you could have an uber-snare as opposed to a damage spell you never use except for farming.

upgrade the utility spells, they dont become obsolete. just use adIIIs for damage spells unless your gonna be usin them for a long long time.

sorry for the bad gramar lol, typing fast

33 Troubadour here.

you have to take in account what abilitys will be replaced at higher levels.


adept3 the abilitys that buff but take no concentration. Or an ability that is grey that you still actually use.

I would suggest performers talent (this can stack with other buffs and cost zero con.) or quickstrike. nice to have the extra hit at low powercost.
