Walk up to Lyra and begin contracting with her. Use -warp 6 and slowly step out of town to the east, SLOWLY. This will allow you to click cast it, without having to reclick the hotkey. Use CTRL + X and select your ebolt spell. Hotkey your potions and scrolls and spells (use ebolt as your primary damage dealer) Use your haste potion, use your scroll of polymorph and select succubus (winged puple lady) You'll learn which ones you need to double-click, and which ones you need to triple-click. Remember, to self cast, double, or triple-click spells to cast them on yourself. You enter the game, contratuations, your mage is born. Suffice to say, by starting out, you can't 'ruin' your character). You can also candle later, that's another explanation. I'm no expert, but I'll do my best to give you some pointers to get you started.Ĭreate your mage, typically 18 INT, 18 CON, 16 WIS or 18 INT 16 CON 18 WIS (18 WIS will give you a bit more mana and regen, 18 CON will help keep you alive until you're more comfortable. This one time, at mage camp, I used a staff of mana. Hope this helps!Īlso you get a little mp discount usage depend on your INT. Just gather, firestorm, mana drain, repeat. Mage is one of the easiest classes to level up, because you don't need a lot of gear to start hunting harder spots since your so spellpower dependent. Later on, with gear and meteor strike, it won't feel so bad. However, eventually, you will probably need to sit and wait for mp to regen every now and again. That's how you reduce your 'downtime' waiting for mp to regen. Most impantly is getting the Meteor spellbook, because it's gonna help kill A LOT faster.Īs you are hunting and running out of MP, you want to use the spell 'mana drain' constantly on the monsters. Eventually you'll want Black Wizard Amulet for +2 int, too.(about 10m) This is pretty basic gear, but it will get you leveled to 60+ easily. Get a Black Wizard Staff (free?) for the +2sp. Each piece of that set is like 200k or free. Elder/Succubus Doll (about 10m). The 'New King' set is a pretty good inexpensive starter gear set for mages. Ancient Robe (about 2m), Crystal Staff (free), Mana Cloak (from lvl 45 quest) or SIlver Cloak (about 8m). You'll want to get as much MPR gear as possible. Plus, you make a lot of money there collecting nzel/ndai and selling all the junk drops like axes and banded mail (put them on a passive summon to reduce weight) SKT Training Dungeon 4f is pretty good exp too, especially until lvl 50. A lot of mages level up in Lastabad Basement after 55+, too. You should be hunting in Giran Prison 2f and using random teleport to keep moving. Since you have soft AC, you'll want to keep immune to harm on until you have better gear. Gather groups of monsters and use the spell firestorm to kill them in groups (until you can afford meteor stike spellbook.about 25m). Mage is going to level up using area of effect spells constantly. When you press or press and hold the mouse wheel it will activate whichever icon is selected (has the golden band around it). (Note that if you press Alt + F3 you can also toggle the box to the left of the hotkey area to put additional icons into to be activated, and the golden band can also be on these icons). Whatever hotkey icon is selected will have a golden band around it. Just drop icons and items from your inventory into the empty hotkey boxes, and those spells/items will activate when that Fkey is pressed or held down. F1 will get you to the first set, F2 the second, F3 the third. You have three sets of hotkeys on the bottom right of screen. So attack groups of creatures with area of effect spells, then finish off stragglers with you weapon or mage bolt. Note that your wimpy mage bolt consumes very little mana and the damage scales up as your Spell Power increases. There is also a spell called Meditate that increases mana regeneration, but you can't do anything after casting it (like move, cast another spell, etc.) or it goes away.Īnd yes, you need to strategize about expending mana because all you can do is wait for it to regenerate (Edit: or use Mana Drain, see post below). Haven't played a mage since about 2002 so I can't really answer the hunting area and equipment questions.įor MP regen, there are items and sets of items that increase the rate of regeneration.
