I’ve updated the spell parchment converstion chart to include spell parchments level 29 through 59.  Some of the lower spells get a little funky since they can be used in multiple levels based on class.  If there is a number and class in paranthesis it means that there is at least 1 spell made from that parchment for that level and class but the majority of spells for that parchment will be from the number to the left.

Also worthy of note, the lower level spells that use the ‘Hides’ have multiple hides they can be converted to. For example, a Raw Runic Hide can be converted to five different types of cleaned hides to use in five different levels of spells.

So. Kenworth mentioned last night that he still needed his 65 and 66 spells for his shaman. Being the good guildie that I am I tolk him that I’d go ahead and make them for him when I headed up to PoK with my enchanter.  I figured that since my research skill was at 293 it would be no problem and I could do it whenever I needed to restock. Little did I know that I would be doing it much sooner than I expected. As of about 4am all 14 or so of his spells were sitting in the guild bank waiting for him. Anyone interested to know why they were done so quickly can feel free to read my ‘Screaming Banshee From Hell De-Man’s Jhet At 1AM‘ post.

Anyone who reads this post and wants spells made (up to level 70) can contact Jhet or Xyzth on the Nameless server (only). I’ll make the attempt on any researchable spell for the price of 100p and the cleaned parchment neccessary to make the spell(s).

This plat earning strategy has seemed to work well for me on The Nameless server recently. If you have a character that has a high spell research skill level, making spells level 61 to 65 seems to return some decent profit. Generally I will sell spells in that level range for 3k to 5k each spell. Ironically, I have had the least success with the people that specifically ask for certain spells to be made. Often times they buy it from another spell researcher before I have it on my trader or they disapear from eq for a time.

I’ve had the most success making spells for magicians and shamans. Enchanter spells have not sold well for me despite the fact that there are few for sale in the 61 to 65 range. I have had mixed results with hybrid spells. Generally, what I like to do is make sets of spells once I have enough parchments for a complete level. Or I’ll make a specific line of spells all at once. Such as, I’ll make all of magician pet spells for 61 to 65 and put them up for sale.

To get the most return on investment don’t buy the spell parchments from traders. Use /buyer. I really can’t stress that enough. For example, I often see sooty fine runic vellum for sale by people in /trader for around 5k. Now that might sound like a decent deal if you can sell a level 70 spell for 12k but if you consider that I put up a buy line for 100p and have had people sell them to me on a consistent basis, it no longer looks as appealing. It’s really a choice of whether you want to earn about 11.5k or about 6.5k.

Another thing to keep in mind is that inks such as Ink of Pain or thickener such as Conjuring Thickener is all player made. There are no vendor sources for inks and thickeners. The good news is that you should be able to make all of the inks with components sold from the two PoK research vendors next to the small bank.
