I'm playing a solo mage and am wandering between choosing Ring of wizardry or Staff of Power. I know there's the staff of magi but i'm playing a solo mage so don't think i would be able to get that anyways so im wandering between staff or ring. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/conf.gif

I think you should get the staff, cause you should use ring +2 and ring of gaxx better than ring of wizardry.

You up ?? Beware !! When falling, better fall from down

The odds are if you choose either of those your apprentices will explode. Esp. If one or more is alrady dead. I've treid sevreal times saveing and realoding and all 3 apprentices exploded every time for me.

cherish, and they shall dominate this place, as they do wherever the hearts of
men
are weak and quick to desire."

Ya me to, i first said to make a meteor swarm spell, then one dies, after that i tried both the ring or staff and both of them die, is there no way to get a ring or staff?

If you ask them to make the staff, they will all explode but on one of thieir dead bodies you will find the staff

If you make all of them die then you wont have that apprentice to make potions for you later on. He will always be the last to die but will be unhappy if you chose a option that got someone else killed.

Its possible to get the SOM(staff of magi). All you need is Amulet of power, scroll of protection of undead and magic, and spell cloudkill, and cloak of mirroring.

What is this about letting apprentices make wands, rings, and potions?
I thought I had explored all of the planar sphere, and a few times at that, where do i find these chapps?

It is a mage stronghold!

Coffee anyone?

I'm playing a mage, and I'm getting worried. After reading a few posts, it seems like everything you do causes an apprentice to explode. Is there any way to get these items without killing your apprentices?
