Default MA R\'lyeh Astral

OK. I have so far followed Evilhomer's guide in building up an MA R'lyeh nation. I've done well in both the MP game I am playing in, and the test SP game I am testing with. I have reached the endgame in the SP game, and... I can't make an S9 mage to cast Wish.

I finally have an S8 Starspawn, but I can't get him up any higher without empowering. And despite all my astral searching, my astral income is awful (like 5), so getting him up to 9 will take a long time.

Maybe I should have forgone the E4, Dom10 Wyrm and gone with a Pretender with S9?

It's probably a bit late, but making a bunch of clams earlier would have helped with your astral pearl situation. At Const-4 a W3 Starspawn can make a robe of the sea, then you can have a W2N1 slave mage making clams.

Can you summon Naiads, for the Nature/Water mages? I think the most common way to get lots of Astral, ESPECIALLY if you have easy access to Water (i.e. you are under water) and Nature (i.e. the Nat 0 underwater Kelp sites), is to make Clams. You know, Water/Nature items that generate astral pearls.

Also, in single-player you can except to keep globals such as Stellar Focus up for long enough for them to pay back the amount of gems you put in them.

You should have gotten dimensional rod.

But if that is not an option just empower. Wish will give great returns.

Of course, if you don't have a good Astral income then a Wish caster isn't going to do that many castings.

Yes, my clam economy in the SP game was awful. I should have made a lot more, and earlier. I'll try not to make the same mistake in the MP game.
