Question about Spell Casters

[ccd1977]

I noticed on my Cleric that some spells ingredients need to be purchased from the DDO store. I also noticed that some of those spells are spells that I would like to have. Here is my dilemma...Is there an easy to play caster that will allow me to play through epics without having to spend money in the DDO store to use spells or is this just the way of the spell caster to be effective.

I am particularly interested in the Warlock because I have heard some of its best attack/spells are not DDO store dependant. However, I know nothing really about Warlock.

So, if this is in fact true, can anyone advise me on a detailed build for this type of warlock? I just want survivability but yet I don't want gimped DPS either. With the upcoming nerf (from what I am reading) some guidance is helpful.

I have access to all the iconics and am VIP too so content is not too restricted if that helps any.

There's not a single ingredience that is needed for spellcasting that is not available in game via platinum (trap the soul maybe not, technically, whatever).
You are probably just looking in the wrong place then.

Check Feather's Fall Apothecary in House Jorasco. You should find any divine spell casting ingrediences there you could possibly want.

Where can I get OmniSpell items outside of the DDO store? These are all over the requirements for a lot of spells. Any help is appreciated.

Pretty sure they sell those khyber shards in the portable hole, and the skeleton the shroud before pt 4.

they are not requirement - they are the pay-to-win ALTERNATIVE to regular platinum priced spell components. So you can use either.

Yeah, sometimes people run out of spell components inside a quest, and buying them from the store seems like a better idea to them than just using other spells for that quest, or recalling and going to buy some spell comps.

It's a convenience item.

I like OP's join date and his question together.

You either buy the normal spell components (about 10 usually), or you just buy the two above, to save inventory space and the time it takes to go to the component vendor in house J near the teleportation portal where you buy 1000 of each.

It can drop in any chest, but with an extremely low droprate.
However, as others said already, it is not needed, but an alternative. I personally always carry some omnispell dust as backup in case I run out of normal components.

And by the way, if you have multiple ingrediences that qualify for a spell, the stack comes is first in your inventory will be used. I just put my omnidust in my very last backback slot.

I find it funny that some people still think the dates on the forums have anything to do with in game playing time.

Once you've bought your spell components, drag them onto a slot on your quickbar so you can easily keep an eye on how many you have left.

That is a slick idea. thanks.

[ccd1977]

OK. I went looking for Omni Spell Dust in House J from the Apothacary shop. Not there. I stumbled upon this in my search. https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...o-you-get-itIs this still true? It seems the responses in this thread indicate this is not a TP purchase only. Any advise is helpfulThanks.

So what are my in game, non ddo store alternatives to the Omni spell dust component.

[cru121]

Omnispell dust can rarely drop in chests.

However, why does it even interest you? Spellcasters don't need omnispell dust.

Normal components you can purchase for platinum:

Banish omnispell dust/stones from your mind. Do not buy them, do not use them, do not think of them.

Go to the divine reagent guild vendor in House Kundarak by the mailbox. Buy 1000 each of all nine different material components for cleric spells. Don't think about material components again for at least a month.

But never again think about omnispell anything.

There's not a single ingredience that is needed for spellcasting that is not available in game via platinum (trap the soul maybe not, technically, whatever).

Sold in the Twelve for plat.

So what are my in-game, non ddo-store alternatives to the Omnispell dust component.

Everything else.

To be more specific:
-Omnispell dust can be used for EVERY spell which doesn't need a 'rare' (read: more expensive in plat) component.
-Omnispell stones can be used for EVERY spell which needs a rare (read: more expensive in plat) component.

So the answer to your question is: whatever the spell says its component is, is what you use. Where it says omnispell dust or omnispell stones that's just DDO reminding you that there's a store bought option if you suddenly find yourself without any of the in-game, non ddo-store components mid quest and a spell won't cast. Or, if you have a lot of money, maybe you prefer just to buy dust and stones and only carry around 2 ingredient types instead of one type per spell level you can cast and maybe some 'rare' components too.

It takes more than 5 years to learn the spell components system?

Do you want me to copy-paste the text on the wiki pages?

OK. That sounds good to me. I will do this. Is this the same for Warlocks, Wiz, Sorc as well?
