I know you don't wanna hear Nekro, but truly, it is worth it. I just opened on my mage and it's made a real difference to speed and ease of runs. I was hesitant because I wasn't sure I wanted to spend every last gold I have, but I'm glad I did it. Have you ever gotten a new pet or item that you thought was really awesome until you used it and realized it was lame (looking at you, LnL)? Fear not, that won't happen with Nekro.

If you already have the gold for Mari or Toor, it's worth it to be patient (so hard, lol) and farm to get the extra
