Level 40 Nec, seeking advice...

[Mojote]

Hello, I'm having a great time being a Necromancer and such, but I figured I could always be better. I have my AA points in Ooze Crawler and am working on Minion's Barrier or whatever it's called... (The one that puts the 2/3rd damage to energy) and yes, I know it sucks for soloing, but I'm working to be a grouping NEC mostly, though I'm definitely considering switching from WIS to STR line... My main concern, however, is my equipment, and religion. <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=653822202" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2players.station.sony.com/...terId=653822202</a> I'm pondering going with... What's his name... The Underfoot guy for the extra HP/heals to boost Lifeburn. But aside from that, I really need better gloves and a belt. Though upgrades to anything would be nice. Any dungeons in particular I should visit, or items I should look for?

For one thing, your belt can be upgraded via a quest in Sinking Sands, assuming you have the DoF expansion (I imagine you do if you're working on both KoS and EoF AAs), called <a href="http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?eq2quest=2116" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">A Terrible Crime</a> which is third in a series from a fellow named Numair.  Not sure at what level it becomes available, but it shouldn't be too hard as the stuff you need to kill is level 45ish. For other upgrades, the best I can think of would be level 42 Mastercrafted if you can afford it when you hit level 42.  At your level, a decent money making scheme is to do some solo work in Ruins of Varsoon, working between the Tome of Death, Tome of Life, and Weavemaster Esh'rax.  They should be green up to level 42 or 43 and drop some decent gear.  Some of it (Sleeves of Secrets from ToDeath, Cap of Woven Whispers from ToLife) will be small upgrades to what you have, otherwise you can sell the Legendary (and rarely Fabled) gear and Adepts/Masters you get for some decent coin.  On top of that, if you don't mind the grind of doing this, the experience really isn't too bad, although I was doing this around level 38 as I had Tainted Heals, etc.  I made a small fortune doing this for a few levels, and was able to buy MC gear with money to spare for spell upgrades. Good luck! [edit] If you do go ahead and go solo in RoV, when fighting the Weavemaster, make sure you fight him or his PH at the entrance to the room from the outside hallway.   I used to walk up onto his platform and fight him there, but more often than not my pet would "disappear" through the floor, and everything would turn on me sometimes resulting in a very painful death.  Never had a problem when fighting him from the doorway on the bottom though.
