As the topic tittle, I'm new to this class.

 

I need help from veteran player on how to do a better Skills & Stats Build, Gear (if there are other cheap and good gear than Eden), and Leveling Spot that is suitable for this class.

 

Let say I want to make a wizard. For some reason, as the example, people need wizard much on Low TI for AOE damage.

 

Thank you so much.

Not sure about wiz but I guess we start out the same as mages (I play Sorc but never touch WL).

For starters, I'd recommend getting INT/DEX/VIT in that order as you see fit. Get the proper bolt skills for the place you're leveling at.

This is my leveling route.

There's not much cheaper alternatives than Eden Gears. Might as well save enough for Crown of Deceit/Skull Cap (+ Thorn Staff of Darkness). Then aim for a Fallen Angel Wing as soon as possible, followed by RWC Pendants (from RWC Rally Boxes).

About Wiz, you need PHEN accesory like "Clip under a cast" or Equipment that can make you uninteruptable while casting likes "Orlean's Gown".

 

If you have no, you need skill "Safety Wall" (should be max). This skill can use to prevent be hit at the early level.

 

My suggest build is INT/DEX/VIT or INT/VIT/DEX, second build need PHEN accesory to standstill and receive some pain while casting. Btw, you cannot cast fast enough with cheap gears, even if you have invest much DEX in it.

 

Optimize skill build is FIRE build. A lot of monster those are Earth and Undead Attribute are a lot at early level.

You have 2 options to max out either FIREBALL or FIREWALL. You cannot max both because you need some prerquisite skill for Wiz skills. (Strom Gust and Frost Nova is needed madly.)

-- Snake and Spore at Payon map is the place for everyone. Hunt until level 20 or more.

-- FIRE Ball is da best to kill "Ant Eggs" at Ant Dungeon while you are level 20-40. Fireball is best AoE while being Mage.

-- If you go FIRE build, "Groove" is the BEST monster leveling about lv35-50.

-- "Golem" is magic detect monster but it is slow, you can cast fire wall or even cast and run. They can be hunted at level 40-70.

-- Level 70 and more go GRAMP TI.

 

Next build is WATER/LIGHTNING build. Choose either Lightning Strom OR Frost Nova. Frost Nova can froz

en monster and become Water attribute and finish it with Lightning Bolt.

-- Spore is water attribute, go with Lightning Bolt.

-- Byalan Dungeon, FTW. (go from Izlude) Byalan level1-2, till level 20-50 and hunt Hydra for early level but beware your step.

-- Ant Eggs with Lightning Strom is win, too.

-- Metaller at Golem map while level30-60

-- Greatest General is Fire Attribute. It is immobile and Melee. Very sweet with Cold bolt while level 40-70. They are at Payon Forest.

-- Level 70+ -> TI

 

You have not to max out your bolt skill. It is easier to play if you max it out but about 4-7 bolts are enough to kill almost monsters at your current level if you are high INT. Sage need to max out the Bolt skill but Wiz not.

 

Sorry, they are no weapon better than Eden for Wiz if you can't afford PHEN. The non-high-end weapon need to be +7 or +8 to be better than Eden's.

I found a cheap gear for an early mage.

 

Survivor's Rod (int)

Survivor's Rod (dex)

 

Which I bought from vendor less than 500 000z. It give good MATK, stats and HP too. Req. Level : 24

Refine it to +5 (Safe Refine Level) then its higher than Eden Group Staff.

you can card them with drops to get more dex or an andre larva / centipede larva card to get more int

another cheaper alternative for rwc pendant are the sprint rings (theyre not that cheap, but definitely cheaper than a perfect enchanted rwc pendant) but you need to be trans to use that though

Surely you don't want to use that forever,do you?
Eden Staff II & III are still better than any other staves sold in ragial if not cheaper alone.

Yeah, you're right.

Now I use Eden Staff III.

 

May I ask what is different of using Two Handed Staff and One Handed Staff?

 

If Two Handed Staff give less bad effect then I want to buy one Wizardry Staff or Soul Staff for partying since its reduce Cast Time if I wear with Spiritual Ring.

 

For One Handed Staff, I see Dead Tree CaneStaff also give a good MAtk than Staff III if upgraded to +4.

 

If there are another good ways please tell me.

typically two handed staff gives more matk, the drawback is that you cant wear a shield, which makes you more squishy, while one handed staff gives less matk, but with the ability to wear a shield, youll be less squishy

Best one handed combo you can get in the game atm is A skull cap + thorn staff of darkness combo. The weapon is enchantable (spell enchants) and the hat is slotted.

I still can't afford Skull Cap and TSoD right now  :sob: .

 

My High Wizard is Level 90+ right now and doing Gramps Low Turn In.

Stats : 90 INT, 50 VIT, 80 DEX, else 1.

Now I use all Eden Gears except staff. I use Wizardry Staff, Spiritual Ring and Clip [Phen].

 

 

But I still can't one hit kill all the mobs with Max Level Meteor, LOV or Storm Gust.

Is there other alternative cheap Equipment?

 

Any idea guys?

Use +4 Staff of Destruction and MA before your killing spell.

The damage should be higher than before.

I already bought the SoD, but not TSoD yet. I don't know which kind of enchant is good for mid-end gear. I need to choose properly cuz lack of zeny.

 

Goodluck for your wizard. I'm so happy to know someone is learning something that is the same as what I'm learning at this moment.

 

(I'm from Renewal Chaos too)

For weapon enchants,you'll want at least spell 4/4 because it reduces your cast time by 20% (10% per spell 4 enchant).

The matk boost from the enchant itself is absolutely good.

Spell 3 is 8% and Spell 2 is 6% - you can still get a lot of mileage out of less-than-optimal enchants, so you can save yourself some money that way.

 

(Still using Spell 3/4 TSoD for my WLs and Spell 2/4 Bazeralds for my ninjas. Still works great :> )

if you're poor i suggest you find a paladin buddy to sacrifice you

all you need to level in gramps is level 1 storm gust. your teammates will do the rest of the killing

you need to also plan out ur final build now so u get all the prerequisites

 

At mage level, the possible builds are:

 

1. Soul strike

- hunt at payon

- level 10 soul strike

- then later get safety wall

 

2. Fire

- get firewall

- vertical firewall and firebolt

- level at clocktower later

 

3. frost diver/lighting bolt

- a bit harder

- but useful cuz they're prereqs to sg/jt

 

for wiz i suggest getting level 10 sg, level 10 jt and the skill that gets you sp back.

for trans wiz, i suggest getting just the prereqs to your warlock skills and max the sp skills

 

if you're poor, i suggest you use staff of destruction rather than tsod. the matk makes a huge difference.  if you're careful and if you choose maps with only melee monsters, you'll rarely get hit.

A few things:

 

- There's no need to plan out final build until you're job3 and about to hit level 100 (which you might do by accident if you gain a lot of base exp as 99/6X trans, so watch your exp on your char select screen) - there's a free resetter, Hypnotist or whatever, in Prontera square that resets all your skills (not stats!) as long as you're 99 and under. Currently have a 99/35 warlock that I'm using to test out random warlock stuff for my other warlocks, and I just reset when I want to try something else.

 

For (3): FD/LB is kinda awful. I'd wait til Wiz and get Frost Nova if you want to spam wind spells at frozen enemies. Plus, the pre-req levels for LB and FD are 4 and 1 respectively so you won't be doing much with that.

 

For (2): Vertical FW is a little more risky than SW and loses usefulness faster. It's really, really nice for early leveling on mobs of undead monsters, however (mobs of 20+ Orc Zombies, anyone?), so take it as you like :P

 

I can't remember if someone posted it already but the main advantage of a 1-h staff over SoD is use of a shield. If you're good at kiting, SWing, vFWing, or otherwise just avoiding damage, go 2-h - jsquishy's right that it'll really speed up kills/min.
