It was an event that had blackrock, blackrock elementals, toxic ooze and nether vortexs. In the area that they spawned you could get accelerated gains and dig up large quanities of blackrock. They have since turned that off. Now a miner has a small chance of digging up blackrock and with it could spawn a blackrock elemental. Blackrock can be used to cast the armaggedon spell, at one time could be turned in and recieve a nice reward (this is what is getting credit for blowing up Old Haven) or kept on your person and turn random spawn into blackrock infected spawn (not positive that you have to have the blackrock or just to have cast the armaggedon spell for this). Infected spawn would then be aggressive to all who come near.

Hope that gives you an idea of what it is

Paul, you have that 100% poison mage weapon?

No, sorry ben. Flint Fireforge has not been on and kept all I lent him.

Been doing it that way for a long time now...works great...get a 100% lrc suit
-29 spell channeling wand and give it heck...oh wait...Mercedes has my wand..hehe

use the wand and whack away at a golem.BUT you have to be at 80 magery with wand equipped, which means you have to jewel up to make up for the skill reduction.

i agree magery above 102 is a pain to raise but not as bad as some of the skills like taming

That makes me want to cry Great advice here however for those who need to work magery...

Trying this out, but not sure where black rock is....right now I'm just hanging around yew casting when I have full mana, at 53.4 I unequipped my -25 wand and can still cast bless pretty steadily. Where is black rock? Is it still viable to skill up like this guide says in black rock? Also at 53.4 is it wise to keep my -25 wand unequipped, I'm a new player so I'm having to learn as I go.

Thanks

The enhanced gain areas have been turned off. You can duplicate that type of gains if you can find scrolls of alcracity (sp?) in the skill you want. They only last 15 minutes.

Oh, I see, I guess someone said that in this thread earlier and it just didnt' mesh well with my brain *smile*.

Having made several 120 mages in the last few years have found by sticking with invisibility i have legended them when it gets a bit sticky a 29 minus sc wep and kill a lot of liz helps u over hump. Not the fastest way but most efficient and with the most steady gains.
