I play on Rizlona - I am trying to research my level 24 necro pet spell and I need some Raw Hides that I can convert to Pristine Hides Where could I find a good source of raw hides? Preferably in the mid 20s level range? I know I've looted a couple over the past few weeks, but I can't remember what mobs they came from
They should drop from casters in the 15 - 19 range. A few higher level mobs can drop, but more commonly a little lower.
Always google the item. First I google ----- Raw Hides eq traders and you will get stuff like this that shows the mobs and zones https://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=26284 Then I also google ------raw hide magelo for other info too https://eq.magelo.com/item/97860#dropped
I was killing the gnolls in Lake Rathetear around the time I the hides I had, and several of them are casters, so I'll check that. Thanks!! I looked on EQTraders but the only zones they listed aren't open on Rizlona yet.
Those are fine sites, but I always check EQ ZAM first. Generally has the best info, and the comments are usually very useful, especially for very old content.
I had tried EQTraders... forgot about Magelo Found a listing on Zam's and yea it looks like the Gnoll Shaman is probably where I got the ones I had
why research it? zam is showing it can be crafted (old school) or purchased. It's now sold in the Pok library w/ most spells. heretic drahur sells it (lvl 1-25 nec spells)
old spell research is a thing of the past. you can do it if it gives you a thrill, otherwise PoK library is where EVERYTHING should be for quite some time (think up to lvl 85 or something)
1 - Intent to get max AP eventually, so why not knock out some recipes now, for stuff you need anyway 2 - They REALLY enjoy tradeskills 3 - the challenge There are probably more, that's just off the top of my head.
I guess it helps to have PoK open. I hated research back in the day.. I never really found enjoyment in "trade skills" in the game. I know there are many who enjoy it though More power to em
I don't mind the idea of research, but it is *way* too expensive, especially at lower spell levels. I spent close to 100p on inks, etc. to make 2 sub-level 20 spells. Yeah, money is easier to make now than in the old days, but 100p to someone in their teen levels it's a lot
