Hi all,

Can anyone give me a minstrel template suggestion? It's been awhile since I played on a classic server and barely remember items anymore.

Or, I could make an SC template myself, but can you give me some suggestion on drop/quest/dragon items that I could find useful?

I'm mostly oriented toward small groups, perhaps some soloing..

thanks

Not a full template, but an idea what jewlrys i use to my mincer:

Neck: Exquisite Infernal Black Diamond (DF)
Cloak: Cloak of the Earth (Moran)
Jwlry: Gem of Spirit Abhorrent (Goblins/ thoose gholsty farmers or what's in Lyonesse)
Superior Accursed Belt of Might (DF)
ring: Ring of the Granite / Runic Giant Ring (Moran/Moran)
bracer: Bracer of Wonderous Alacrity(Agidad), Bracer of the stout (Legil/Penn) or the Kez bracer or if you have luck/more patient the gatekeeper's stuff from DF is also cool.

Good Luck!

woot, Jethro, thanks

also remember this little thread

alright, this is the best one i could come up with. it's a pretty cheap template, as this is my first char on the server.

only MP item i'm using is a shield. i also have +6 stealth instrument which i switch to when i'm in stealth.
my spirit is only 18 - is this viable? i reckon there aren't many spirit based spells and i can only gimp my dex to bring it to cap value.

as you can see my +instruments is located on feet and hands, so i can easily switch those cheap items with the same copies that have +stealth and +dex instead, for when i'm not using a pet.

this template should improve as i aquire more MP/dragon/DF/mega items in the future.

any input and advice is welcome

Afaik the instant DD spell's dmg is also benefits/coming from instru, so you need that +instru everytie, not just when you using pet.

Keep on mind: if you put Charisma to the weapons, when you switch to instru you will loose mana. Dex also not the best, cause it's slowing casting speed (gimp 5 sec aoe maybe, but also need more time to demezz)

Anyway i'm stil working on a mp temp, but seems can't cap all the things: con/str/dex/qui/char +intru/slash/steath+resists So i thinking about to miss some + stealth. (well against stealthers isn't matter really, they can see a micer from miles, against non-stealthers well i think 30+ around is enough usually, for searching stealthers..well i have no idea )

for searching stealthers it doesn't matter
minstrels don't have detect hidden, so it's the same if you have 20 stealth or 50. you'll always detect the same.

as for capping stealth, simply do what i did
put only +5 stealth on your armor and +6 on your instrument. when you go to stealth just pull out your flute/drum and you got +11.

i have +25 cha on my weapon, but i can also fit +6 stealth and +25 cha on an instrument. it comes out as a 5 pt overcharge. i've thought about everything

Forgive me for such a stupid noob question, but in all the templates I've been seeing I'm seeing very low SKILLS. This one's highest is 11.

Why? Where's all the rest of the spec points? I've been attempting to look through a lot of templates and they all show very low SKILLS.

because the maximum gain from items in skills are 11

what you are thinking of is a spec (how to train your character), this is what items to gather to get as much bonuses as possible

Ahh So templates are really just about items and not about planning out your whole character.

Thanks. I feel like a newbie all over again, and I used to play this game for hours every single day back when it first came out.

That's because templates didn't exist back then ;p
