Spells highlighted in red are custom server spells and cannot be scribed. They -must- be chosen on level ups. This includes all the new spells included in the big update (not listed in the above spreadsheet)

A UD list of available spells can be perused here (credits to ethys for the UD list).

If a spell you have in your spellbook and need to transfer over is not available from a store on that list, scribe it in preparation for an RCR when the DMs give the go ahead. The rest will be cheaper to buy from merchants or picking at level up.

Most custom server spells, including the new spells added in the recent update, must be chosen on level up as only a handful are actually available as scrolls in game and in shops/loot drops, unless the DMs are kind and hand some out to us.

Remember: There is a coded hard cap of 255 spells for wizard spellbooks.

The server fires a script if you learn 246+ and then a random assortment will be plucked from your spellbook at a whim until your total number is reduced back to 245.

Choose your spells carefully. The server update includes a new Remove Spell feature now in case you want to discard an unused spell, fortunately!

Good luck!

Thank you for updating these!! I wish they were available on the forum as well as the current bugs associated with each.

The Wiki is always so slow and filled with ads and pop ups :(

Actually, I need to update the spell lists with what's on offer in the Thayan store except I've never been in there :P

Guess I can log in with my drow and check out the UD outpost one.

Get some kind of adblock on your webbrowser and you'll not have any more issues. I use uBlock for Firefox which also blocks some of those linked videos on some wikis.



Thank you as well, Tsidkenu :)

The revival of this thread has spurred me on to a new project. Keep your eyes peeled as it'll take me a few days to complete ;)

So which vendor in Candlekeep sells Lightning Bolt? I have tried both the spellshop and the one at the gate without any luck.

Bumping this now that we are in a 100% RCR period. Don't stuff up your RCRs, wizards! And yes, they're expensive. The last time I full RCRed Aeili it cost me 110k in scrolls :roll:
