How can I gain the undead form ability?

submitted by lifebane on Jan 31st, 2007

Picture this... you are at a gathering of friends chugging down a few ales in a local Hathor Zhi Pub when one of the gathered revelers suddenly moans loudly, the flesh falling off his skeletal frame in chunks leaving only his standing skeleton where once there was a flesh and blood Dark Elf. Definitely fun at parties! No worries though, our entertaining dead guy is a talented necromancer who knows the form of bones spell.

At level 30, the necromancer must undergo a quest for this ability. The necromancer learns one of two paths to undead form, the form of bone (skeleton) or the wraithform (ghost). When pursuing this quest you will decide on one form or the other and there appears to be no way currently to change this once it has been done so choose wisely.

As you progress in level your form of bone or wraithform will periodically upgrade themselves as your own power grows (Get it at level 30 then upgrades at levels 40 and 50).

Your undead form will also determine the form that your minions have when they are summoned. Form of bones raises minions that are skeletal / zombie-like in appearance. Wrathform will have you summoning ghost-like minions.

When in one of these undead forms the necromancer gains certain benefits depending on the form he has take:
