Magic Help

[livvy]

I'm wearing my refugee glove to perform my magic spells. When killing caprinis and bodocs, using acid 2, I get the message that my weapon isn't strong enough to get the bonus. Someone told me to crystallize a spell and enchant the weapon with it. I tried this with all my spells, but still get the message.

Can someone help? Is there another weapon that I need to buy? I see melee weapon vendors but not magic weapon vendors.

You're using a spell level that is higher than the quality level of your amp. You need a new pair of magic amplifiers - look on the 2H Melee Weapon merchant, at the bottom of his list, or ask in region for someone to make some q20 or higher for you (bear in mind that you are limited by your Intelligence as to how high a quality pair you can wear). Mittens are classed as Close Combat because they hurt just a little more than a slap when you hit someone

Sounds like your spells are too good for your weapon. Starter and NPC gear is pretty useless anyway so you'd be better to upgrade.

Amps can be found on the melee weapon merchants, theres two sets of melee merchants so check the right one. (2h)

If you do the first few magic quests they give you a nice set of amps.

Two things to look at on amps:
The quality of the amp (you can use your intelligence + 10).
The percentages it boosts your speed and power by.

It will take a while to understand how difficult it is to make amps with high percentages, but just as reference i think the gloves you get from those RoS quests are 83% boost across the board. Those newbie gloves you had are only 20%.

Wow. I hadn't even considered checking the melee weapon vendor for a magic vendor but it worked. Thank you! Now, if only I could find the rendors that I need to kill. It's only a matter of time!

*whispers to the rendors "No, it's still not safe to come out - stay here!"*
