How to gain Meditation

[Varak]

Some people on here made some great points about raising meditation with magery. I agree if you have the resources. I’m probably a bit of a scrooge though. You can save reg costs by doing most of your magery macroing during power hours. You can get a lot more casts per hour during that power hour with high meditation. After my first couple characters, I took a day and just macro’d drunken meditation to get it in to the 60’s to 70’s before I started using my power hours for magery on new characters. Then just let it finish naturally as you macro magery:

 

1. It’s a lot cheaper doing magery and meditation this way
   
2. It’s not nearly as fast as macroing by the bank 24/7 until GM
   
3. It’s considerably faster than raising both from low levels during power hours.
   

 
If you’ve got fat stacks of cash, do as they said and just work meditation and magery together. Don’t forget to buy both into the 30’s for 300ish gold from an NPC. What a Deal! It’s also wise to buy magery at 50 during creation (assuming you don’t have another high resource using skill you need to take– crafter).  
 
If you are cheap and patient, drunken meditation is still a good option. I would not recommend using a power hour on meditation. Save that power hour for skills that consume a lot of resources (magery, crafting, etc).
