Rather, I would propose that they farm the necessary items or buy the necessary scrolls to get all of these things on their character.

    FoM -> Endless potion from remnant vendor
    GH -> Scroll
    DB -> Necklace from White Plume Mountain
    Truesight -> Scroll
    Displacement -> Heroic Greensteel clickie (I like qstaffs for this)
    Raise Dead -> Scroll

    *Note: Tenser's scrolls are also useful on most/all non-caster endgame builds, but they're much more annoying to keep up all the time.

    So I've been running this build up to 9, nearly 10 so far. I've stuck to Elite runs for the most part and will farm the high Reapers at cap before I eventually plunge back into the TR grind.

    So far I have noticed that the build doesn't find traps in Elite without some decent Search gear. Even with all my invested points I still don't find boxes until Hard, and even then they can be a pain. Therefore, I believe a Monk split would work better here, unless you go full-on INT based. Haven't had too much trouble though overall leveling. Crafted a Holy of Undead Bane Maul for myself around lvl 6 for Delera, and slotted some twink armor with Fortification. I've only had issues when I get overwhelmed by Champions in Elite over-level runs (Shadow Knight was really annoying recently).

    You don't find traps on elite without decent search gear; that's expected. Traps are pretty trivial if your build has evasion anyways; so just ignore them (for now). At level cap you should be able to reliably find/remove traps:

    Trap skill: 23 (heroic levels) +10 (epic levels) +39 (trap item swaps) +4 (GH) +3 (ship buffs) +3 (tome) +18 (estimate of int) = 100 disable/search

    Ya, I was just hoping to get to use it for things like Shadow Knight to speed up the leveling process :P

It is like going to a museum and bragging about how fast you made it through. Or bragging about how fast you finished a good steak.

    Auction house is one place where search/disable items sometimes show up.

    There's a number of nice named items which give up-to-code bonuses to search and disable, one notable item is the skulldiggery kit from Wheloon; giving a nice +4 bonus that stacks with almost any other item. Also don't forget greater heroism scrolls once you have the UMD for them.
