Ring of Dark Intellect  

 

Kunark stuff? You are aware that Veksar is a recently added zone, not part of the original Kunark.

Also, there are very few spell haste 4 items out there, and they are very expensive, or no-drop.

Also, let me say that while spell haste 3 may only work on spells up to level 60, that doesn't mean its not useful for a level 65 character. Many of my level 60 spells do not have upgrades to them, such as the group CH spell. Not something I use all that often, but still its a long cast time, and 15% off of it is pretty sweet.

As far as the price, be aware that Allakazam's doesn't have some automatically updating price, based on recent bazaar sales. The price they list is based on self-reports posted here by users of this site, and therefore typically gives only a real rough ballpark estimate of value. It might be that on an old server, this would be 10k, where on a newer server, without a lot of twink gear floating around, this might sell for 50k. I knwo on my server, which is a fairly old one (rodcet nife) Frostreaver's embroidered cloak,which has this same effect, sells for upward of 25k. I can get a similar cloak, without the effect, for under 5k.

It is possible to reach this guy without having to kill anything, I do it sometimes (if I'm lucky).

To do it (I'm a 64 Necro) Keep using skin of shadows and improved ITU til you reach the very tall, long stairway (right before the spellbinders). Get to the top of the stairway and look east, there will be a crack in the wall. Now VERY carefully peak around the crack til you can see the enemy behind it. If it's a commander (About 50% of the time) you can go ITU and jump through the crack and not have to worry about being seen. If it's a spellbinder your screwed.

Anyways, head down the stairs behind the guy that's behind the crack and you come to the theatre area. All these guys are usually spellbinders so you'll have to do some ninja action to get to where you can single pull the diviner PHolder (very south-west spellbinder in the theatre). Here's the ninja action ...

Crouch at the bottom of the stairs (If you have sneak now would be a good time to do so) and hug the right wall right out of the theatre, this will drop you off the stage and you'll be where the orchestra normally plays. Your going to have to look south and hug the wall til you get to the stairs in the center of the stage. Stand up and jump on top of the stairs (you have to movely slightly to your right to do this. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that small races won't be able to do this because they'll get agro from the spellbinder in the center. If you did this right you'll be directly outside the spellbinder on the stage and the spellbinder in the center of the crowds agro radius. Now jump down off the stairs heading south (still not on the stage but where the band plays) and get into the very south-east corner of the stands. You can summon and buff yourself here without agro. The diviners Pholder is now directly west of you.

To pull the PHolder without agro from the other spellbinders use an affliction spells that DOES NOT do damage. This would be spells like slow, tash, resist debuff, mark of kings ETC. If you use a dot/DD it will get agro from the commander behind right to the left of the PHolder and unless you have a really fast method of escape you'll die pretty darn fast. Anyways, once you cast your non-damaging affliction spell let him run to you, notice how he will not agro anything. Once he gets to you, you can engage him all you want. Also note that once the lich spawns you'll notice that he's a huge wussy, usually names are harder than normal mobs but not in this case. Oh, yeah, spellbinders love to dispell. Might take a bit of practice but once you nail it down like me you'll get a ring or two. Spawn time is 30 minutes on the PHolder and the rest of the room BTW.
