For anyone who is putting down meditate and energy well, they have obviously never been in a situation with no regens, pots, or lixes.
I am putting them down. I never ever use regens pots or lixes. If I get any in trades I just resell them.
Energy well is very useless it is the energy usage per tick from skills that is a major problem not the total energy amount. Energy well is so poor I received a free royal ring from an aquantance because it wasn't selling at 5k.
As it sounds like you are a Mage they have less problems than Druids on average. Eboost isn't good but it's not worthless. If you are very poor with bad equips it's a reasonable hold over choice until you get good equips or gold comming in.
