I'm trying to solo with a lvl 8 Conj but I run out of mp after 2-3 mobs and either waitng 10 min for tranquility or for the crystal. Anyone else having this problem?

Stop burning through your MP so fast.

I typically cast stoneskin, shock spikes, and just spirit dart. Cure when needed, I use maybe half my MP for ever tranquility.

Re-spec your point allotment a bit and put more into MND. That'll give you more MP, and thus more MP back everytime you use Tranquility.

you should have more points in VIT then. It should be fairly high at lower levels, definately try and hit 40 by level 10. if spirit darts not powerful enough, have you upgraded your wand? maple wands are cheap enough. what are you killing? at that level i was killing yellow glow flies, without healing in combat.

Yep, it really is just as simple as "use less MP;" you can't just go repeatedly spam your best spells, it would be clearly broken if you could. The limitation placed upon mages by MP allows for attacks that can do greater damage -- they must simply be used sparingly.

moved because conjurer questions should be put on the conjurer board, not general discussion. your first TP ability comes at level 10, and is very good

The tp ability you get at 10 is lame for mp replenishment. However the damage it does is nice.

i disagree. I find it to be an amazing ability. Everytime I use it, I hit for about 200 damage. That's almost a full cure's worth of mp back. Granted at level 18 I have to cure 2-3 times a fight, but i'm also using radiance quite a few times during fights especially because it tends to give a nice exp amount. If you play conj by just buffing - shock spikes, (protect, shell) and then casting spirit dart, you will use up exactly half of your mana every 15-20 mins. It is plenty of time. You will also notice a greater increase in EXP if you stop nuking. It is alright to nuke occasionally, I tend to start fights with nukes, but Spirit Dart will be your primary attack.

trick i use for mp...

Radiance (conj tp ability @lvl 10)
+
Damnation (THM tp ability @lvl10)

They don't have very good accuracy, but if you save up 2000 tp and then use one, regular hit, the other, regular hit etc then the monsters will be dropping like flies.

The down side? you have to level both con and thm to 10 (at least to 10) to get them both. I suggest ANY job getting con to at least 16 anyway for protect, cure, shockspikes (for stun not dmg)but that's just me.

You should be ok for mp
just add more points into MND and VIT and also vary from piety and intelligence.

I am rank 13 on conjurer and doing very good at managing mp/kill speed.

They are right about spirit dart and the speed at which you can gain SP points

magic is not to be wasted but used sparingly.

It gets better once you can use Stygian Spikes from Thaumaturge and Spiritbind from Conjurer, if combined these two spells are overpowered and I see them getting a nerf soon. I'm at the point where I simply ignore my 10 min MP spell.
