learning magic from lvl0 impossible?
« on: November 09, 2007, 05:21:42 am »
hi.
i want to learn magic, but i am level 0 in all ways. i gained all the theoretical knowledge (crystal and azure) and got a crystal glyph from a quest. but it's impossible to research a spell, it will fail and drain health.
now,  do i need some other  (easier?) glyph, shall i hope for my luck and repeat trying or is it just impossible to research a spell at level 0 (and learn magic)?

thanks.

The glyph you have been given as a reward is likely to require a higher skill level or a combination of glyphs.

You can buy glyphs from Levrus (at the magic shop) for a reasonable price and all those are researchable with trained lvl 0.
In your case those would be Air for Azure Way and Arrow for Crystal Way.

Also, a simple mistake I continually made was that I'd click on the glyph and click on research. You should make sure it is in one of the four boxes above the options to research, combine, etc.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

I know it is. You must be making some sort of mistake in the method.

Last time I checked, if you just have the bare minimum skill to learn a spell, sometimes when you research the glyph, it still fails. Seems to me that possibly it did fail even if all the skill was there but, would have (hopefully) worked eventually.

didn't work the first, second or third time I tried to research the glyph...until I asked on this post and then it worked after I bought it. YEY.

there seems to be some sort of bug, i had it recently when trying to get two spells that i knew were there, spamming the research button does not seem to work, but trying it out every now and again does

Perhaps people with very small intelligence stat have less chances to be successful when researching a spell, meaning that you have to try many times before you find it.

I learned the hard way you have to make sure the glyph is dragged on top of the purify button first and foremost... once it says it is purified, then move it to a lower box and research it. This has worked every time with me... now I am trying to find a way of what combination make what spell.
