Hello folks,

A quick couple of questions:
1) When summoning corpses, do you target the living player and the corpse comes to you both? I know you have to be in the same zone as the corpse.

2) When multiple corpses are in a dungeon via the same player, which corpse will be summoned?

3) From what i understand, coffins have a level limit on who they can help summon... What are the level limits for each coffin?

4) Are there only two types of summoning coffins? Black and Jade?

The following i am going to try to find on the web now, but just in case i don't find the answers:

I just made 16th lvl and have a bit of my spells already...
I am missing: Feign Death, Hungry Earth, Restless Bones, and Voice Graft (which i don't really plan on picking up Voice Graft).

Questions:
1) I know we get research at 16 and i have heard that Restless Bones and Voice Graft are both only gained through research; are the other two as well?

2) If any of these can be bought, where would i buy them?

3) Where can i find the words for Restless Bones (and Feign Death, Hungry Earth if needed as well)? I know off of mobs, but any creatures specifically?

1. yes the corpse will appear at your feet

2. The closest corpse will appear then they will need to loot it before second can be summoned <i had a hideous spawnpoint death cycle once with a Mage i twinked, 17 bodies later i just wanted the bodies back so i could loot the gear to sell>

3. 45< black ceremonial
>45 Jade inlaid
Tiny jade inlaid can be used >45 and cost far less to buy.

4. see above <for lvl 56/57 summon corpse spell >

as for research look on EQTraders for a list of words that you will need for research and i would advise buying the lvl 16/20 set as research cannot be increased very much untill 21 and you will waste alot of plat, or ask a high lvl necro friend to do it for you.

words drop randomly from any mob around the level that the spell is cast but you will need to vendor trawl to hunt out the ones you need and if you see the rare words for your higher spells get them as you may wait forever before seeing them again. My wife spends upto 20+ hours per week shopping <rather that than spend real money right?> for words and such like and we stil have NEVER seen at least 10 of the lvl 55-60 spell words.

for where specific spells are sold look under spells on this here website and it lists where they are sold. however if i remember alot are sold in OT

As previous poster has said, yes they need to be in the same zone as you and the corpse and grouped with you for the summon to work.

Lesser Summon Corpse uses the black ceremonial coffin (around 2pp) (non-stackable) and works on corpses UNDER level 35.

Summon Corpse uses the Jade Inlaid Coffin (around 150pp) (non-stackable)and works on all corpses 35 and above. Can be used for lower level corpses but is expensive to do so.

Call to Corpse is an AA ability and uses the cheaper Tiny Jade Inlaid Coffin (stackable). Works on all corpses.

Hello again Tarv,

Found a word not listed at Mith Tower or eqtraders... Words of Tyrany. Found in on a Lesser Icebone Skeleton in Kurns Tower.

I have researched (and got them on first try luckily): Restless Bones and Bansee Aura.

Thanks for the info on everything.

One more question: Someone mentioned the name Wayfarer's to me yesterday. Have you heard of the Wayfarers?

Restless Bones (lvl 16 pet spell) can be purchased in Paineel, I believe through a shadowknight spell vendor.

A little more to add to the coffin issue. The black ceremonial coffins are GIANT size and weigh 10 I believe, so you either need a rallic pack (or other appropriate bag) if you want to carry a few for a cr or an empty inventory slot. Remember, we're not typically strong, so the bag is your best bet. I only know of a few places they can be bought also. Paineel SK guild (but not in the necro guild, surprisingly), one of the huts near Kizdean Gix in West Commonlands and someone in Neriak Commons. There may be some in Bazaar or a few other scattered places, but I know there are NONE in PoK. The Jade inlaid coffins are containers, so you HAVE to have an open inventory slot for them. Tiny jades are tiny, of course, and stackable, but can't be used by you for quite some time. As for research, you can train it all the way to 200 with trainer points (expensive, but not as expensive and time consuming as find all those words). A previous poster had a good point about words. Look in the bazaar for spells that cost A LOT, find what words are used to research them, and if you see them, keep em. You'll be happy later on. Good example: Words of Allure, Words of Detachment and Words of Possession = Level 24 pet spell, Haunting corpse. Allure and Detachment are super rare, and the spell goes for 500pp on Povar. That's a lvl 24 spell! But it's a big upgrade. And remember that some pet spells can be bought in PoK Library on the SK side, since SK's can't research... Good luck

Hungry Earth and Voice Graft are the only two that have to be researched. Voice Graft simply is not worth the effort. I am at odds with Hungry Earth some say it is and some say it isn't. So far I have forgotten them and moved on. All others can be purchased, I found most of mine at Queynos and the remainder in POK. POK typically will have most of the missing ones and the Necro spells are in the basement level of the library. From my inquiries about research it will be a while before you can successfully combine words to create spells. Best bet is to bite the bullet and purchase them at outragous prices or hook up with a higher level Necro and have them combine for you.

Thanks for the help )

I found words for two of my spells: Banshee Aura and Restless Bones and combined them both perfectly on the first try, just being 16th lvl.

A fellow necro in Kurns Tower gave me Hungry Earth, as he had an extra )

I'm a lucky guy hehe

Can feign death be made through materials? Mythirian Tower has is marked out of their list and says Grobb's SK guild; I'm erudite... i don't see my making through a vendor that i'm kos to.

Also, found a 16th lvl rune and a 16th lvl magi words of tyranny in Kurns.

The lvlng in Kurns is amazing. With a full group who could stick around a while you could go from 13 to 20 in a heartbeat, but i'm having to solo... made it from 13 to 17 (almost 18) in 1 day, but that's with me having 8 hours of school and sleeping 10 hours hehe.
