Scholomance Hints & Tips

Killing Summoners:
Make sure you have someone in your party that can MC (Mind Control). Use MC on the summoner, and let the other enemies take it out, works extremely well when there are two enemies to attack it. For situations where there is only one other enemy, you may need to bring the summoner to the stairs to prevent it from aggro\'ing the entire room.

Warlock Hints & Tips

How to Solo Elites: High level warlocks can use Curse of Doom and Fear to solo high level elites, such as the Demons in the Winterspring Gorge, or the Undead in the Eastern Plaguelands guarding the towers.

Cast Curse of Doom on the target
Cast Fear
Mana up with Dark Pact
Repeat until the target is dead. Note: to speed things up you may want to use your wand and cast Corruption and Siphon Life.

Hunter Hints & Tricks

Taming a New Pet: Use a trap to immobilize your target before you start to tame it. You can also use items such as sticky glue, nets, etc.

Miscellanious Hints & Tips

Unlimited Storage Space
Ok, instead of buying extra space at the Vault (10 Silver), you can take advantage of the auction/mail system.

Put the item you want to store up for auction at a very high price (something no one will buy)
Set the time of the auction to 2 hours
Just wait, no one should bid on the item and it\'ll be stored in your mail box, accessible from anywhere.
