I was wondering what was the minimum level at which this can be done, and that basically boils down to answering the following question: What is the minimum character level for which someone would have a caster level of 48 for the purpose of crafting effigies? :)
General_Ridley 10-30-05, 08:02 PM	wild mage 1 level lowers the minimum to 45th, and that's as far as I can take this. whatever it is, its still going to be far into epic levels.

That said, I'm pretty sure we can manage this pre-epic, though exactly how I'm not certain.

Tempest Stormwind 10-30-05, 08:33 PM	By the way, Wild Magic doesn't seem to apply here. It apparently only functions on spells cast, not item creation... interesting. And I know it goes against the Commandments, but for the purposes of creating your effigies, Effigy Master levels stack with caster level, a Wiz15/EM5 has a CL of 24 for these things, without Practiced Spellcaster. I know I've seen similar effects before, somewhere... no idea where, though.
