<P>Thank you The General,</P> <P>I have set my tool bars accourding to your helpful information. I was looking at other forums and pple where saying that You should get high adepts for certain spells and dont bother doing anything with others.   I know I have a bunch of adepts 1s but not sure if they are the right ones. Does anyone have information on spells I should Keep upgrading?  </P> <P>Also anyone in blackborrow that makes adepts Cheaply could I get your ingame name ? </P> <P>^ I know funny joke but sometimes there is nice pple out there. IE- TheGeneral,Maddog etc </P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks again TheGeneral</P>

<P>I'd probably hold off on buying any adepts unless your the kind of person like me, who adeptizes every ability if possible, just in case ><</P> <P>The combat changes are in the middle of testing & in 3 weeks with the release of Desert of Flames, the first full expansion <A href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/expansions/desertofflames/" target=_blank>http://everquest2.station.sony.com/expansions/desertofflames/</A> alot of the abilities will be quite different than they are now.  You are 28 atm & really just getting to the point of receiving the full flavour of the differing SK abilities, so its probably not a big deal either way.  Once you reach 30+, you'll start getting more & more upgrades into SK style & upgrades of current 20ish SK abilities...</P> <P>Its up to you, but holding off on jumping to buy every adept is the cheaper way to go.</P> <P>Armour on the otherhand is something you should focus on for 30-40 regardless, this will give you a couple lvls to save up money for & you'll not change any of it, till 40 when you upgrade to Fulg.  I bought a full set of Prsitine Forged Feyiron Armour including the BP & Legs imbued for 40G & it is well worth it.  Then take a look at a good new weapon.  I think I spent 10 mins looking over the different types of imbued 1H on the dmg & dly's before deciding on Greataxe.  I went with medium to high dmg with medium dly, plus axes are much more evil than a 1H sword ><</P> <P> </P>
