UO Second Age

I'm looking to Macro my Magery up to 100, and I wanted to know what the best & most Reagent efficient spells to cast in order to do this? Mind you I have 0 Magic Resist, and I don't plan on leveling that at all.

So what's the best order of spells to do this? And with reagent count in mind?

Thanks ahead of time!

0 - 30: Train via NPC
30-62: Lightning Bolt
62 - 90: E-Bolt
90 - GM: Flamestrike

Target self if your training in Town;
Target your Spell Book if your training in a House.

I use invisibility to 92 then FS on another character you want resist on, or just do the lightning, e bolt, fs thing on that character also.

From 30-44: Fireball : Black Pearl
From 44-62.9: Lightnening : Mandrake Root & Sulfurous Ash
From 63.0-82.9: Energy Bolt : Black Pearl & Nightshade
From 82.9-100: Flame Strike : Spider's Silk & Sulphurous Ash

lightning bolt, ebolt, and FS all require 2 regs. Invis requires 3 if i remember correctly.

less resources used generally means more efficient

Incorrect, invisibility uses moss and shade.

I stand corrected, that would be a viable option then ^_^

NOTE: this is displayed skill and not "show real"... you wont get to 62.9 real with lightning and MANY a toon have wasted reags when reading these guides...

If you are in town at a bank set up a simple restock macro so you only pull 5 or 10 reags at a time (if that many) and typically theifs will leave you be. (see guides section for help on restock if you need it)

But do the shard a favor and go to a small quiet bank... Everyone hates AFK'ers at WBB and the other popular banks! Good luck!

I agree with this, I would switch to EBolt at 61 at the latested, and yes Restock Agent is your friend.

Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for - THANK YOU!

2nd Question: Is there a way to write a script in Razor that automatically detects your "shown skill", and then adjusts to the next spell in line accordingly (according to your list above)? Or do I need to manually adjust my script once it reaches the next spell to begin training? Just trying to find a way to macro this effectively while I'm at work during the day, and not burn up all my reagents on one spell. But if that's the only way to do it - that's fine. Just trying to be efficient

Thanks again for all the help guys

Manually adjusting is easier, but you could work out some For loops and use: If SysMessage = "62" or whatever skill level you want it to change at.

I did this with stealing, "If SysMessage = "40" then pickup bottle, drop in pack. Then repeated for each skill level (50, 60, 70, 80, 90) and essentially afk macro'd stealing from 30-100

I suspected as much. This isn't a problem

Thanks again all for the answers!

you can put an if conditional in say for example

if system message 62.0- "meaning you hit 62 skill with lightning"

pause 2000

then you can end a macro with the end current macro hotkey under the macro grouping under hotkeys. Record that.

then you can put the "Else" command in at last.

this will at least save you regs.

I dont know about beginning another macro via hotkey in this macro as you have to end the current macro first I assume...toy with it, maybe it will work. Maybe beginning another macro will end the current one.
I havent been afk macroing in some time so I dont know myself. I tend to just turn it off. Something I will look into in the future though.

I would imagine I would have to setup a chained macro if that's possible (fire off a second macro from inside this one), or a heavily nested macro (lots of IFs statements inside each other).

The condition would have to be exactly "61.9" (or whatever number you need), because if you use "62" - it will probably keep kicking off over and over since you go through "62.X" a total of ten times.

I may try this and see how it goes. If I get somewhere with it, I will post my macro here for the benefit of all
