Second Profession: Spellhowler

At level 40 a Dark Wizard can change profession to Spellhowler, which later leads to the 3rd profession Storm Screamer. The 2nd profession requires three marks, and below all three quests are merged into one optimized route so you do not run back and forth between towns more than necessary. The author of the original walkthrough warned that it may contain inaccuracies and mistakes.

Minimum requirements

• Level 40.
• Money for teleports (about 300,000 adena).
• Map: World.
• 30 Scrolls of Escape (just in case).
• A supply of Blessed Spiritshots.

Required marks

Quest	Mark
Trial of the Scholar	Mark of Scholar
Testimony of Fate	Mark of Fate

Route notes

• Find - check where the NPC or monster is located and run there.
• Talk - choose the QUEST option and go through all the dialogue. If the dialogue offers a choice, use the line given in the step. If no line is given, the choice does not matter (or the description is incomplete).
• Changing profession - when talking to the NPC, choose INFORMATION ON CHANGE OCCUPATION instead of QUEST, pick the desired profession in the second menu and CHANGE OCCUPATION in the third.
• Receive - the step names the item you are given; it does not list which items are taken away.
• Hunt until you collect N items - drop chances for quest items can be low, but usually one item takes no more than 10 kills (in some cases up to 30-50). If nothing drops for much longer, you will have to restart the quest.
• Travel - teleports are optional; you can save money by walking. SoE is a Scroll of Escape. To know where it will take you, C1 needed the SoE Map patch, while from C2 you can use the /loc command. Check in advance where to find each NPC so you do not end up looking for them in the wrong town.
