Spending guild marks...

What are useful things to spend guild marks on as a Conjurer?

I notice there are scrolls to convert stats to other stats. Is that permanent? Take something like "Complete Control" which does Mind to Dexterity. Does that mean for every 5 points spent in Mind I automatically get 5 Dex? I'm not sure I understand those? Or is it a spell that lasts for awhile and when it expires, it converts back?

I also see there are some scrolls with yellow titles, does that mean I'm not a high enough level to learn it yet?

Any help choosing would be appreciated :)

Those stat conversions are traits you can equip/unequip as you see fit. It's for using with other classes. So get those last.

Get Nature's Fury at rank 30, Fastcast when you can, followed by Elemental Shroud whenever you can

After that get whatever you want.

Personally I'd prioritize Fastcast over Nature's Fury. I suppose it depends on how much you rely on your main attack for damage.

Thank you both!

Me too, but Fastcast is available 10 ranks sooner so it's automatically prioritized XD

Just how useful is Elemental Shroud and Nature's Fury? I've already purchased Fastcast and sitting on 12k marks at R25. Should I save the marks and get the R40 one?

Nature's Fury is decent...kind of like an AOE Spirit Dart. Unfortunately it uses too much stamina to be used as anything other than an opener stacked with Profundity. I bought it as soon as it became available and have used it a grand total of 4 times since then...

Elemental Shroud is basically the Conjurer equivalent of Silhouette, but unfortunately the hate mechanics are so screwed up at the moment that a hate reduction ability is simply not worth the Guildmarks until SE gets things sorted out.

One with Nature on the other hand will benefit you whenever using a Conjurer spell on another class, so I would make this a priority over both Shroud and Fury. Unless you are planning on sticking with Conj main for the forseable future.

This is all my opinion of course. Chances are you'll have more than enough Guildmarks by the time you hit 50 to end up with all of them. I currently have 16k extra Conjurer marks after purchasing everything but the stat conversion traits.

How come I no longer see leves that give CON marks as rewards post rank 20?

In later ranks it seems that the frequency in which "guild mark" rewards appear goes way down, this is also affected by how many different classes you have leveled to a reasonable degree.

Damage-wise, Nature's Fury and Elemental Shroud only seem to do a little more damage than Spirit Dart, but I guess every little bit helps. ^^

I tend to use Nature's Fury as my main attack and haven't had any problems with stamina regeneration, but I usually alternate between other attacks and cures so I guess it depends on your battle style.

Nature's Fury has a pretty small area of effect so other targets need to be very near your main target. But the AoE is there so you need to be careful in congested areas or you might find yourself engaging more enemies than you intended. ><

Nature's Fury and Elemental Shroud were a waste of guildmarks for me. Fastcast, then start saving THM marks for Firm Conviction. But I quit at 30 so YMMV.
