Hello all
So, I've been playing RO for a year now, and now I'm really keen on playing the whole cast spells and kiting enemies tactics. I always been playing the whole physical/tank for my entire life (even back in the early 2007) and really interested in playing a mage/wizard
Currently leveling a mage right now, and about to change job classes
NOW FOR MY QUESTIONS: (sorry if my questions seems obvious or easily to look at online,but I want advice from a player who plays the class regularly)
I have a budget of 200M+ ish (No I dont have any GOD items or even HBP and FAW, Mostly using eden group items)
All of my money is from ink ball from last year and thats it. I dont have any means of making huges sums of zeny except when i get lucky from card drops and selling some items from my merchant
1) Wizard or Sage? Now I'm mostly a casual player. I don't plan on taking out MVP nor tackling pvp I just want to grind levels with parties (Mostly doing gramps quest). AOE support if I can, Mostly leaning to making a wizard but i want your guys opinion
2) Leveling Strats? Im currently using Evilloynis leveling guide and its doing me well for a 2011 guide. I'm completely aware its gonna be difficult to level a kiting class in late games. I just want to know, how hard its gonna be for either a Sage or Wizard to level up without parties in later stages (until 80 I supposed until i get to gramps). Also if their are more updated guides.
3) Cost efficient gears Probably my biggest question. For the most part I want to invest in a magic caster because it new to me but I want to know some gears that won't cost me a fortune but still strong enough to tackle normal mobs (Solo and partying) also I have no plans in fighting MVP's I just want an all round decent gear. Which end class that still can be viable without godlike gears
4) Overall Fun Fun Is subjective so I'll just say I'm the type of guys who mostly like to do "Tl" with parties or tackling 1v1 solo mobs and still strong enough to keep my enemy far away as possible (Mob control if you would) killing them before they hit me
Sorry if its long but since Im all new to this magic things. I can't help, asking some questions
