To my gnomish brothers,
Whilst wandering the lands, I have found another location for us to learn Amplify Destruction!
Location: Vsurog Moor (near Gorgalok)
Mob: Fen Watcher (Lvl46 2dot Beholder type mob)
Not a scary dungeon with lots of room to kite.
You should be able to learn the spell after killing around 10 mobs.
How do you do it?
Keep the mob alive, keep it rooted / snared, allow it to cast the spell on you at least once, then kill. The Amplify Destruction is quite quick for this mob.
In gnomes we trust!

I can confirm you can get it off these mobs I was lvl 44 at the time.
What I did was run straight west of New Targ docks, up the rivver to the waterfall / cliffside, follow the cliffside until you get into Vsurog Moor (past the ants) then eventually you'll come up to a road and the gorg swamp.
on the road to the left was a lvl 46 beholder type 2 dot mob, at about 50-60% he would cast amplify destruction, I got so excited that he casted it I didn't even pay attention to my health bar and after like 2 updates he nuked me dead.
so I ran back for corpse, poped on chromantic barrier, and our disperse spell, nuked him to 50% waited to cast amplify destruction, sleeped him to 80% and repeated for about 5-10 min, took like 8 updates and I learned it. there are some non agro mobs in the area near the chunk line, so I spent most of my time kiting him around there and recasting the reflect ward.

This is the place to learn it IMO....It only took me 3 updates and I had it.
Cristo · 2007-05-03 10:42
ok maybe im a noob but what do you mean Learn it?
Is this from a quest? is this the only way to get this spell? What are these steps to learn this? what level is it..
I will also look to the wiki for now.
Im only 32 so that might explain my ignorance but im intrigued to know "Whachoo taking about Willis?"

there are mob learned abilities for all classes that you can learn from fighting specific creatures that use the ability you can learn.
the trick is you must be the appropriate level to learn the ability, or you wont get any updates for it.
What happens for US is that when the spell ID goes off while a mob is casting a spell that you can learn you get a message flash across the screen that you have learned a spell and it will take more study before you can use it.
Since this mob is a 2dot mob, its nice to be able to go out there and learn it solo without requirng a group to head down into vol to get the ones off the mobs in there.

Oh i see I have not had this happen yet. So now im wondering if I missed any spells..
Is this the only way to get said spells or is it an Alternative method?
And do you know what level to get Amp Destruction?
Oh and what other spells are there to learn this way?
Should we maybe compile a list or is there already one somewhere they I cant find

Sweet Looks like I can at least go grab the Celerity spell Thanks for the info.

I found a mob in Graystone that also casts Amplify Destruction. The ghost-like "something Handmaidens" cast it at about 50% health usually. I am level 40 and received no updates when I identified the spell, but they were definitely casting it.
