Being able to rune citymates will enhance your popularity

Antonius

There's only one version of Good, and all citizens are expected to believe in/follow it. Class doesn't matter in terms of your ability to do that.

You can be any allowed class. The Dawnlord practices shadow magic. -cough-

Sylphie

Sylphie is also an angsty emo edgelord. 

Greys

@Farrah pretty sure its for the time magic. Else no way you would get everything done.

Talamond

Exactly. I mean, she's gotta have something to keep @Micaelis on the Paperwork Plane.

Alchemist is restricted?? (Kidding, should just say all should it not?)

No, Eleusis doesn't have alchemists - they picked forestals over alchemy during the event, for obvious reasons.

And boy oh boy did they choose right.

Ryzeth

Except they didn't really have a choice in the first place. It was pretty much decided right from the start that cities would get Alchemists, and Eleusis would get forestals.

Cooper

No it wasn't. The players made that decision, and any city could have chosen differently.

Edit: aside from Eleusis of course

I can confirm, this was 100% up to the leaders of cities at the time.

Can we get a do over?

It does seem like if we'd known back then what we know now - i.e. Alchemist is a garbage class that nobody likes, forestal classes are going to get amazing reworks - that things would have gone very differently.

EDIT: Actually, no, fuck a do over. My bank account can't handle needing to learn and buy artefacts for another three classes.

Solnir

Alchemist is in a great place! It's completely lackluster at everything unless you use mayology, then it's OP. Definition of balance, I'd say.

Makarios

Dunn said:

No.

Farrah

And you guys want to nerf Mayology.

Make Eleusis regret their choice instead!

Krypton

I get the feeling if a bunch of cities had chosen forestal, there would have just been Gaia/Artemis events down the line that pushed it toward effective factionalisation anyway, à la Devo/Necro.

I can't remember who but Targ swears they picked forestals and got told to pick again.

That's definitely false. We didn't pick forestals lol.

Achilles

Targ wasnt around yet, Alchemists came around during Shallam.  I want to say the Garden at the time pushed the city leaders to pick alchemists.  I know I wanted forestals, we already had a lot of active ones plus they were the only had the best counter to astralform.

Talamond

As far as I'm concerned, HOMUNCULUS SAY alone justifies the class.

HOMUNCULUS EMOTE now, please.

Torinn

Bad science. Bad!

Every time someone says Mayology, I keep imagining a bunch of pasty-faced Alchemists om-nom-nomming jars of mayonnaise and somehow obliterating everyone standing in their way.

Targ wasn't a thing when this happened, so...

Volphrin

Newbie here, although not IRE newbie, but I have some questions about how to proceed.

• 1400 retirement credits
• Tsol'aa Race, Magi Class
• Lesson packages will be bought but no more credits for the time being

My current understanding from looking through the forums is:

• Trait to CON spec and Quick Witted, changing to INT spec when my health levels are higher and I get into PvP a little more
• SOA + Diadem should be considered as first artefact purchases
• Learn at least up to Diamondskin for hunting, as that includes Staff.

Questions would be really where else should I concentrate lessons and is maxing out all class skills still the recommendation before the artefact purchases?

Solnir

I'm no magi, but thank you for reading other threads first.

Most classes, the recommendation is always tri-trans'ing your class skills before arties, so I'm going to assume that is correct for magi as well. 
@Aegoth @Farrah errr yeah all you guys, correct me if I'm wrong.

Sylphie

I think  you -might- get away with trans elementalism and crystalism for group fighting. But I felt like all I could really do was staffcast and reflect people who were getting hit. But then again I don't know what I'm doing.

Farrah

I'd definitely trans class skills first, yes.

Linusis

Thanks @Volphrin for that question because I myself is in a dilemma of saving the bound credits for artefacts or using them to buy lessons (Runewarden here). I know what I am going to do next.
