I'd be interested in knowing as well, as it has managed to elude me so far. So, free bump.

This site has a great skill listing...just hit the link "Skill Listing" on the main page. In the meantime, here's the listing for Fireball:

yes i have checked that and he does not give Fire Ball at Yak's, the info on this site is from beta and some things are not correct. thats why i asked... but thanks for pointing that out

Swampgirl Inez · Jun 01, 2005, 04:58 PM // 16:58

ah darn, hopefully, they will update it soon...

C-Tzar · Jun 01, 2005, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Hmmmm, my E/x and my W/E both have fireball, but I couldn't begin to remember where I got it. I never use it as flare seems more effecient. For what it's worth, my W/E is a little less than half-way through the game so you can get it pretty early, and it's most likely from a quest as I don't buy many skills. But then, my memory sucks so I could have seen it on a merchant and thought "ohhh, preeeetty", bought it, and forgot about it 6 seconds later.

Gee, isn't this post helpful?

i have seen your forum name before

did you play SWG and post on SWGCRAFT.com?

C-Tzar · Jun 01, 2005, 05:24 PM // 17:24

No, but I do use this same handle everywhere I go and I've posted on many other gaming, programming, general PC boards. I've never run accross anyone else using it, but I suppose it's possible. I've seen other names that looked similar like K-ToF, C-Zure, and what not. But if anyone else IS using C-Tzar, they'll never be the original and I have the domain name.

Fireball is as Yak's Bend. That's where I got it. And yes it is useful. You are correct that Flare is more efficient against a single opponent but Fireball is great for groups. Stand back and let your W get swarmed then unload with Fireball and other AoE spells. Also, it is useful against some healing creatures as it does about 3x the damage of Flare in one shot so hopefully you can kill the creature before it has time to heal.

salatious · Jun 01, 2005, 06:32 PM // 18:32

when i went there he did not offer this skill to me? any idea why

Popps97 · Jun 01, 2005, 06:38 PM // 18:38

are you talking to the elementlist, or the warmaster there? Its kind of confuseing, sense the skill trainer in yaks' doesn't have (Skills) next to his name..

talk to people, the guy with the flameing sword will offer to teach you skills. that is where you get fireball.

its use is much differant than flare.. flare is a single target DD.... Fireball is a target AE.. (fireball is higher dmg, too)

Wow. I've "beaten the game" with a fire specced elementalist and I'm half-way through it with a fire sub-specced W/E and I have somehow managed to completely miss the fact that Fireball was AoE!

I read the description, but I must have been drunk at the time. I always just saw 2.275 x the damage of flare for 3x the energy cost. But if it's AoE that changes everything! I wouldn't replace Firestorm or Phoenix with it, but I'll damn sure be considering adding it to my nuke arsenal!

Folks, it's official, C-Tzar is retarded! *hangs head in shame*

Darkest Dawn · Jun 01, 2005, 06:43 PM // 18:43

I also have it for my W/E and he got it at Yak's Bend. I don't know your class, so please don't be insulted, but you are an elementalist, correct? If so then you should be able to get it.

I can't remember the exact conditions either. I just run up to everyone who has a quest, do it, then get the rewards. Some have multiple quests. Perhaps you won't get fireball until you go back after doing a quest for one of ther NPC's there?

Edit** Ahhh, there is the answer!

Don't feel bad. I'm getting close and I don't even have Fireball. I somehow missed it.

Isn't this the courthouse around the Nolani Acadamy area? I never found it, but hope to get a team together so I can get some better spells/skills.
