reagent for symbol - peridot

Dalayan Beginner
i am 60lvl cleric and i feel the cost for peridots is far too expansive. not likely i group with a mage everytime. is there any way to fix it? 12pp for each symbol and last about 40mins, 12 x 6 = 72pp for every 40mins... is that supose to be? :eek:

Suggestions:
- Since you're level 60, use Blessing of Aegolism. 3 Peridots for 3 hours. It's a 500p spell, but well worth farming the cash for due to the mana and reagents it saves you. If you can't afford it, use Marzin's Mark; the group symbol. The spell database lists this as 1 peridot for 83 minutes.
- OOC for a mage willing to summon some for you (probably should donate).
- If you're not 60 (suggestion for others, not you), don't use the big symbols on everyone. Use it for your MT, your ench, and maybe your shaman. Use smaller (jasper) symbols on others.

perhaps Wiz give cleric a teleport spell so i can go pick up the summoned peridots from that kindly mage. :roll:

on the live sever mobs at 50+ drops very good rate for cash gems. peridots are not a problem for cleric. drop rate of cash gems got nerfed in SoD a lot, if there isnt enough cash gem from group and clerics not able to farm,

even i can farm.......what the hell i have to use my time to farm to purchase perdots while other class they farm to upgrade their equipment ! :mad:

i sugest there could have a quest for right click summon peridots for cleric :p
pet summon and Translocate dont need reagent anymore why symbol still have to !
 
I don't even carry peridots. If they want aego, they can find me some.

Find reagent conservation. It'll save you tons of cash, or, like he said, buy BoA (it's more mana efficient anyway). And mages are a dime a dozen.
 
Spend the plat on the dots, and insist the group reimburse you the cost.

When I played on live every group I was ever in provided the clerics with plat to cover gem costs, it was simply a given. I can't think of a zone where you don't make enough plat to cover a few dots. If you arent making enough plat then the group should dig into their pockets, or get used to carrying around a stack of summoned dots each, just in case the cleric doesnt have any.

There really is no excuse for the cleric to be spending their own plat on buffs for the group.
 
Either come up with 100 pp, or spend some time leveling in Mielech C, and get yourself the Cap of Instability. It has Reagent Conservation V, and is well worth the 100 pp, (or the Great exp you would get from going there!)

And if you're going to go out adventuring, you might want to think to ask a mage in newport Before you travel to your destination. I am reasonably sure that almost any mage would be willing to trade: a stack of pdots for an Aego ;)

Otherwise, if people ask for Aego, just tell them you have no dots, they must provide.

(P.S. depending on your faction, the dots might not cost you 12 pp; check both the cleric vendor and the npc gem vendor, the npc sells them to me for 10.5 pp)

there are already several quested port necks that you can use.. just bind where you are, port yourself to a TL and find a mage, not all that difficult
 
I cant believe this is a legit post almost. You're level 60 first of all. You dont use aego? What do your group members say? And even symbol of Marzin doesnt last just 40 minutes. If you can't come up with 3 dots or the cash equivalent every 3 hours then you're doing something wrong. Also, theres so many mages around its not even funny. Most of the mages I met are all great about giving dots if you just ask. Sometimes I don't have a mage either, but I still find some way on earth to come up with the means to cover the cost of 3 dots.
Ive never really been in a group where cash items go to clerics like back in the day on live, but it wouldn't be hard to just ask for the first cash item. And you'd probably make a little profit if it's worth more than 50 plat.
How can you not use aego??? OMG thats the best spell I ever got on my cleric!
 
If you're so desperate you can always level a mage to 44. It would take you about two weeks if you were serious about it and knew what you were doing.
 
Personally i try to find a mage to summon me 2-3 stacks and donate about 5pp a stack, Ulema will most liekely be glad to help for that rate and she is online quite often....

more importantly.....i have a question.....

How does reagent conservation work on a spell that uses 1 reagent ??? i never grasped this concept

On the other version of this game, it made sense since high lvl mage pets used 4 malachite ... but how does this work on a 1 reagent spell???

plz explain someone

P.S. hassan werent u trying to organize a mage-peridot-summoning strike last night? hehe
 
Reagent Conservation is a x% chance to not use a reagent, where x depends on the level of the Reagent Conservation effect. For a 1 reagent spell, it's straight forward, x% of the time the reagent won't be consumed.

As for multi-reagent spells such as Blessing of Aegolism which uses 3 peridots, I don't know if the chance is applied to each reagent, or to all reagents together (i.e. whether you can use 1 or 2 peridots instead of all 3, or if it's all-or-nothing).

Edit: Typo, x depends on level of effect, not spell.
 
From my experience, it's all or nothing with mult-cost spells.

  • Reagent Conservation I = 15%
    Reagent Conservation II = 25%
    Reagent Conservation III = 35%
    Reagent Conservation IV = 50%
    Reagent Conservation V = 65%
    Reagent Conservation VI = 80%
    Reagent Conservation VII = 95%[/list:u]

If the request is polite I will generally summon you whatever you want as long as it isn't an extraneous request (Hey, could you summon me 2000 peridots? thx) or I don't have to go way out of my way to get to you (Sorry, I know you're forty-five minutes away from a translocator and in a full group, but could you come to summon me an FT2 staff and some dots? Oh and some food and drink?).

Note that I haven't actually had these two requests, they're just exaggerated examples of what I would consider asking too much or expecting too much.

If you come to me, you'll get your 'dots. Donations appreciated but not required. Likewise, an exchange of beneficial spells is considered good etiquette.
