So I finally have my necro about 60% away from B grade on my necro and I already have +3 Avadon robes set aside. I was wondering now if my role is going to change? Will I be using summons more? As of now I have never used them at all.
A few quick questions along those lines:
a) Which summon will be the most useful/powerful
b) where can I solo for a bit?
c) What weapon should I use for B grade? I assume something with acumen?
d) and finally for jewelry should I go with black ore?
a) Which summon will be the most useful/powerful
As spudnik says, just for TP during pvp.
b) where can I solo for a bit?
52-55 Cemetary, 55-65 FP, 65+ VoS
c) What weapon should I use for B grade? I assume something with acumen?
Sword of Valhalla is standard, but an Oe'd Homu will get you there as well.
d) and finally for jewelry should I go with black ore?
Definitaly Black Ore.
I am playing a necro ^_^
a) Which summon will be the most useful/powerful
you don't need any summon for fighting with mobs
b) where can I solo for a bit?
57 to 68 I did VOS and FP, 68 - 72 FOTD, and BS afterward, forgot where I was before 57. Trust me, as a necro you can easily kill mobs in VOS at lvl56. and I was getting like 15% per 20 minutes at the beginning and eventually 5% when I was lvl68, which's a lot better than any other places on the map.
c) What weapon should I use for B grade? I assume something with acumen?
stick with homun with acumen and avadon set. change to demon set ONLY if u can two shot mobs with it and cant with avadon.
d) and finally for jewelry should I go with black ore?
stick with it til u can use Majestic jewelries.
PS: dont waste your money on B grade weapon/jewelry. save your money til when u can use A grade.
Cemetary is the place to be when ur 52 and unbuffed or go Fields of Massacre wher u can try CDL on the easy mobs and u soon will get them one shot (talk about some easy xp).
If they become 2 easy go CDL them orcs in cemetary these are just real xp bombs,
My clan wondered why I lvld so fast there and i one shot the orcs unbuffed for 0.03% per mob.
Be carefull though social and they stun so ur done for if u aggro to much.
Have fun
52 -> 56 Forsaken plains, 2 x death spike or 1 cdl (buffed) / mob. When I had ch buffs I did 12% / buffs cdling
56 -> Valley of Saints, 2 x death spike (buffed/emp pot) / mob
you can also skip B grade sinds it's only 9 levels
there are classes that do not require A grade and are better off without it. the necro is not one of them. skip the B grade gear, keep the karmian/demon and aim for Dark Crystal A grade Robe armor. best nuker robe in the game.

screw field of massacre and cemetary. both of those places are not dropping any potion/herbs. you can one shot things for 0.03% each, so what? you will be OOM in 5 mins then be sitting there for 10 mins to recover your mana. those are the good places ONLY if u have a recharger pet following u.

my necro is in avadon which is pretty good even midway a-grade, as for the weapon I have tried with homu up until about lvl 54 then switched to SoEs and have had no problems after that.
I have a +10 Homu (= base SoM) with an M.Atk Augmentation and I still cannot 2 shot Wisdom of Splendor/Claw of Splendor/2nd Blade of Splendor without a M.Atk Setup (i.e. Zubei Robe Set - Yes, I have Avadon) and Greater Empower 3. I can use Cast Speed Setup if I have Zerk 2 but I'm tired of looking for PP buffs after doing 48-52 needing them (and growing frustrated looking :)). Much easier to grind when I can just pop a L2Day scroll and some Grocery Store potions, I can't remember ever running out of MP.
Cemetary does suck indeed. Even using CDL, I'm out of mana before I can do 3 Body to Minds (HP Regen not too good) and I don't see why I should spend more adena to make my HP regen when I can just be death spiking in VoS for twice the XP gain.
