A Little Help for New Mages


1. Make sure you get all your passives skills.

2. Get the following skills and max them: Scud, Curse, Sloth, Haste, Mana Recovery, Terra Spear, and Frost Arrow

3. Put all your stat points on Intelligence until you reach level 31.

4. After Level 31, look at what you need for your passives and general skills that i listed. Then get what you need and put the rest of stats on Intelligence.

5. I highly recommend that you choose Wizard: as I think that the Witch's class is not that good.

6. At levels lower then Level 50, the Rage of Demon (RoD) helps a lot. But from Level 50+, the accessories and items with high hit rate and magical hit rate help a lot more then the Rage of Demon.

7. If you are in a party where you don't get hit, then put your pet points on Magical Attack. Then if you are in a party where you may get hit, then put your pet points accordingly on Armor Defense or Magical Defense. Example, if you are in a Demon Party, then put your pet points on Magical Defense, since Demons use magical attack.

8. Using a staff is a way lot better then a wand.

9. Do not get the Level 60 skill as it is not worth having.

10. Remember to get all your passive skills. Then any General skills not listed above are just a waste of sp and time.

11. Being a high level Sorcerer and the same high level Mage, the Mage class wins my vote, hands down.


ADDENDUM: by 5fingers

1. When you sp farm, I highly suggest to get all your general, passive, and special skills maxed. The special skills being the crafting skills whether you use them on not. Reason is, is that down the road when you get high level you may want to reset your sp and then you will have extra sp there, should you need it. Like money in a savings account.

2. Read the STRATEGY GUIDE and all the sections there. Read first "Blog on Leveling" , then "Art of Warfare", and all the sections dealing with leveling. This will give you an idea of how to play. I tell people to make a pet trainer first. Read the section on How to make a pet trainer. This way while you are sleeping at night and your computer is on, your character can slowly be training a pet (leveling your pet). Then get a pet to say level 20, then on Sarissa you could sell for 20 mill and start again. Also, while you are sp farming you can slowling train a pet so you can have a level pet. It is nice to have a mount too. But depending on your patience it is possible to train a horse to level 37, while you are sp farming. But do not turn it into a mount right away. If you are still in the dungeon sp farming, then use it for a pet, as you can use the defensive and offensive skills of the pet.
