Spell/skill upgrades - when?Follow

Hey everyone. Thanks for the help with my bag question. Now I have another!

It's obvious one can upgrade skills (apprentice 2, 3, etc). Is there a level cap on this of any kind? Such as "You must be Level 18 to become Adept 1" or something.

Or is it just a situation of being able to use whatever your money can buy?

There are 2 ways that your spells upgrade. Firstly as you level, most spells/skills get replaced by better ones of the same type that replace them. Secondly by upgrading them through the apprentice, adept, master series.

If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of it all, hopefully you can find detailed info for your class somewhere.

It's not worth spending big money to upgrade every single spell as some of them will be replaced in a few levels and others only give small added benefits in progressing from App 4 to Adept 1 (for example).

You should take all spells/skills to at least App 3/4 though.

I've never played a finger wiggler so I can't help you there but you should be able to find the data on the SOE site or on one of the dedicated class sites...

Here's a good site for Summoners. Lots of forums with spell data and upgrade info.

When selecting upgrades, use your own experience to help decide. If you use a spell continuously, think about a serious upgrade. If you never use a spell, then lower apps is fine.

As a Summoner/Necro, you will want the best possible pet you can afford, Adept 1 or Adept 3. You will also want to upgrade your DoT's, especially those with mitigation effects. Your main damage will come from your pet and your DoT's. Also remember that your INT directly affcts your power pool and spell damage.

Good Luck!
