================================================== ========

1 - Intro:

I want all of you know the Magician class is one of the strongest ones earlyer
in game (class 1 and 2) but the weakest in the 3 class. So magicians are not
much like "the liked ones" from others chars, earlyer in lvl because they can
lvl realy fast and can, i sayd CAN, KS easily, and later because they are not
too much stronger to go lvl in party with others chars at high lvl.
The only advanced job for magician that can endure the high lvls mobs are the clerics with their heal skill, and be sure that will be a lot of partners
looking for a cleric to train ^^.

================================================== ========

2 - Creating a Magician:

The only stats that you need is INT and LUK, so keep rolling the dices till you
reach a good stats at those two, and NEVER get more than 5 in STR or DEX.

================================================== ========

3 - How to become a Magician:

Be sure that you have at least 20 on INT and be a lvl 8 novice, the go to
Ellinia (the city of mages), go to the top of city and enter the building, then
talk to the NPC there. If you are in trouble to reach Ellinia just use the taxi
or the ticket pass (in case of Lith Harbor), as a novice you have 90%
discount in those things^^.

================================================== ========

4 - Training Spots:

lvl 08-12 => In the hunting ground to west(left) of hennesys, killing Green,
Blue and Red Snails, try a party share to make the things easier for you.

lvl 13-15 => In this lvl i recomend anywhere, but i realy suggest you to go
kill Green Slimes (with drops Lemona, lvl 15 glove for mage) near Ellinia,
there is a spot 2 maps to north-west (left top) where you can train.

lvl 16-20 => At this lvl you should have 9/10 Magic Claw, and you can start to hunt some Green Murshroom, and with a bit of luck (omg i should've say a lot)
you can find the rare Pan Lid (the best shield for a mage) and some Blue Horny Murshroom (they drop Brown Pinter, a lvl 30 hat for magician)

lvl 21-25 => Start to make the lvl 10-20 quests and you suddenly will lvl up,
considering you are hunting for itens to acomplish the quest. After that I
suggest you to stay in Sleepwood dungeon (Ant Tunel), it will be a little hard
but you need to be cunny and to stay close to "safe-regen" places inside there.

lvl 26-30 => At this lvl you should have maxed out your Magic Claw and can kill Blue Horny Murshroom with one cast and Zombies Murshroom with two Casts of Magic Claw, make sure you purchased a lot of Orange Potions too and try enter in a party.

================================================== ========

5 - Skill Build:

lvl 08 => +1 Improving MP Recovery
lvl 09 => +3 Improving MP Recovery
lvl 10 => +1 Improving MP Recovery / +2 Improving Max MP Increase
lvl 11 => +3 Improving Max MP Increase
lvl 12 => +3 Improving Max MP Increase
lvl 13 => +2 Improving Max MP Increase (MAXED)/ +1 Energy Bolt
lvl 14 => +3 Magic Claw
lvl 15 => +3 Magic Claw
lvl 16 => +3 Magic Claw
lvl 17 => +1 Magic Claw / +2 Improving MP Recovery
lvl 18 => +3 Improving MP Recovery
lvl 19 => +3 Improving MP Recovery
lvl 20 => +3 Improving MP Recovery (MAXED)
lvl 21 => Save SP
lvl 22 => Save SP
lvl 23 => Save SP
lvl 24 => +10 Magic Claw (MAXED)/ +2 Magic Guard
lvl 25 => +3 Magic Guard
lvl 26 => +3 Magic Guard
lvl 27 => +3 Magic Guard
lvl 28 => +3 Magic Guard
lvl 29 => +3 Magic Guard
lvl 30 => +3 Magic Guard (MAXED)

Total: MP Recovery 16 (MAX)
Improving Max MP Increase 10 (MAX)
Magic Guard 20 (MAX)
Magic Bolt 01
Magic Claw 20 (MAX)

Save Skill Points at lvl 21, 22 and 23 because after the lvl 11 the Magic Claw
cost of MP will be doubled.
Magic Guard 20 because it works wonderfully if assembled with the heal skill,
since you can regenerate MP anywhere, even if you are climbing.

================================================== ========

6 - Stats Build:

At lvl 8 you must have 05/05/32/18 (STR/DEX/INT/LUK), you might asking why LUK?
I say that is needed to equip some itens and also is good to your evasion,
keeping you alive for a little more.
So on try to put always 1 in LUK and 4 in INT, so you'll have the requisites to
equip all mage armors, wands and staffs, once you reach 40 luk you can stop to evolve this stats and set all your effort in INT, since most of good equips for mage need at a max of 38 LUK, but a high LUK stats is always good.

PS.: If you only want to have the minimal luck to equip itens than keep it at
(your lvl + 3) = luck

================================================== ========

7 - How to become a Cleric:

You need to be at lvl 30 before job change and go to Ellinia, from there, go 3
maps to north-east (left top) of Ellinia, you should be at a map with trees.
Talk with the NPC at the top-right of this map.
He'll ask for you to pass in a test before he grants his powers to you.
IMPORTANT: Have sure you stocked some orange potions and a few blue potions before you went in the test, once in, you'll not have any shops avaliable.

================================================== ========

8 - Training Spots:

lvl 31-40 => I suggest wild boars or any other monster that you can kill in
on hit, just find the monster that gives you more exp/kill.

lvl 41-45 => No secret, heal maxed, then go fight some zombie lupins or wraith
jr.^^

lvl 46-50 => At this time you can go kill some Evil Eyes more easily, But just
stay there if you can kill them with only one Magic Claw hit,
otherwise... Wild Boar. Why? Evil Eye with 2 hits
(40 MP and 50 Exp) and Wild Boar (20 MP and 42 Exp) or even some
Stone Golens (witch gives a nice exp, mesos and drops).^^

lvl 51-60 => Here you can change your lvling option, now you can go hunt some
Fire Boars(100 Exp) instead of Evil Eyes(50 Exp).

There is no good tips to lvl at this point when you changed to Cleric, the best
way i think is in a party and always in a party, the exp can be shared, and
you'll lvl more fast than risking loose some exp with strong monsters or
killing weak monsters that will gives you a little % rate of evolution.
BTW, look always at your exp bar, and choose the place where it improves more fast, i'd prefer to kill 10 Evil Eyes (500 exp total) than 5 Curse Eyes (350
exp total).

PS.: This is a good tip for lvl, in the lvl 30 shumi quest there is some wraith
jr. in the last map, you can climb the ladder and keep healing to kill them all
without being hited and the spawn rate are realy good!!! (THIS IS THE BEST SPOT
FOR CLERIC FOR A LONG TIME either to make exp or mesos)

================================================== ========

Invincible 20 (MAX)
Teleport 01
Bless or Holy Arrow* Choose one to Max, other stay at lvl 15

PS.: At lvl 70 you'll have 5 skill points left, use them wisely.

*The choice of Bless or Holy Arrow it's only yours, if you want to be a good
support cleric it's recomended to have Bless, but if you want to kill more
easily some undead monsters, then go Holy Arrow.


Skill best satcks in order:
=> Bless, Invincibility and Magic Guard
=> Magic Armor, Invincibility and Magic Guard
=> Bless, Magic Armor

***Note***

this is just a suggestion.
if u dont wanna folow it ,its fine im not forcin.


Click here if u need more informations. Ill be posting more guides . thank you for taking your time to read this guide.

[Blazingwind1]

hmm pretty good but it could use some fleshing out. but other than that i think u did a pretty good job of getting the very basics down:D

[BigFuzzyDoor]

Hmm yeah there's really no new information here that can't be found in other guides, along with some faulty info (pan lid the best shield for mages? maybe before level 2x when the mystic shield is available, but certainly not the best for mages).

[Elitemage56]

In your build your not putting your first point into energy bolt. Unless you have a friend that can help the first 5 or so levels are gonna be hard.

[Morgana]

Wow. There's a lot of faulty advice in this.

The MP cost for Magic Claw doesn't double at level 10 anymore. All first job skills were changed to have a scaling MP cost like... last year. See http://global.hidden-street.net/characters/magician.php.

As Fuzzy said, Panlids stink after you can get a Mystic or an Esther.

This guide seems geared more toward beginners, and unless you have friends to train you or the patience that comes from playing a higher-level character, you really won't survive without 1 in Energy Bolt at the beginning. Plus, 10 Magic Claw is not going to make that much of a difference... And the earlier you max Improving MP Recovery, the better recovery you get through your character's life. So if you want to save MP and not have a char that's too hard to train, 1 Energy Bolt for your first point, then max Increase and Recovery, then max Claw ASAP. It's the tried and true build.

The only advanced job for magician that can endure the high lvls mobs are the clerics with their heal skill

Um... Other mages do just fine with Magic Guard on. In fact, after warriors, magicians with Magic Guard are the most durable class. And it's cheaper than warriors to take damage, because of Elixirs...

lvl 46-50 => At this time you can go kill some Evil Eyes more easily, But just
stay there if you can kill them with only one Magic Claw hit,
otherwise... Wild Boar. Why? Evil Eye with 2 hits
(40 MP and 50 Exp) and Wild Boar (20 MP and 42 Exp) or even some
Stone Golens (witch gives a nice exp, mesos and drops).^^

lvl 51-60 => Here you can change your lvling option, now you can go hunt some
Fire Boars(100 Exp) instead of Evil Eyes(50 Exp).

o_____O;; First, Evil Eyes aren't very good training for clerics at any time. I did them for quests and that's it. Second, Wild Boars are a high 2x-low 3x training spot for clerics. Third, Fire Boars are a mid 3x training spot. Fourth, and most importantly... Clerics train with heal once it's maxed, or HA if they have it. Period. Magic Claw is very weak after level 40... And Heal will start to outdamage Claw even on single monsters in the mid to late 40s, /and/ it's a mob skill.

Look at the training sticky to fix your training areas, but here's what I did/plan to do.
35-38: Jr. Wraiths (They burn pots at 35, but by 36-37 are better.)
38-42: Chronos and Ludi PQ
42-45: Platoon Chronos and Ludi PQ (should've gone to Platoons a few levels earlier, actually)
45-(planned)50: Zombie Lupins. (Very fast. I also should've gone here earlier, but I'm still getting 15% an hour at level 48.) A few Ludi PQs when I'm bored enough to endure the boat ride.
50-60: Wraiths
60-70: Zombies
And then blah blah priest training spots.

Your guide seems pretty outdated and very Victoria-centered... I mean, no offense. I don't mean to be harsh. But I just don't want any poor newbies to follow some of this stuff. o_O;

[Elitemage56]

At level 46 you need to kill over 10000 Evil eyes to get to level 47
