-I'll just start off by saying that your opinions/experiences may differ a bit from mines but in the end I hope that this guide will better people that have already played and answer questions for people who haven't.-
** I'M INSPIRED BY TEQUILA. HE IS PRO! **

[Weapons]
Staves
These have better accuracy than wands.
I personally like these appearance.

Wands
These have better attack power and critical rate than staves.

[Skills]
Colors mean:Advantage, The middle, Fault

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b..._missle_01.pngMagic missle
Most basic attack spell. It has medium attack power, short cooldown and low SP consumption(at lvl1).
In a party, spamming lvl1 is better than max lvl for good total damage and low SP consumption.
If you are solo, hit and away at max level is maybe better.
-Recommended empowerment: Cooldown, Attack power(if you use at max lvl)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c_blast_01.pngMagic blast
It is more powerful spell of Magic missle. It has short casting time, medium attack power and short cooldown.
Because casting time exists, it is not easy to use it during the combo at solo.
-Recommended empowerment: Attack power

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...ce_bolt_01.png Ice bolt
It can maybe slow target. But low attack power and long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...re_bolt_01.png Fire bolt
Powerful damage source for mage. It has high attack power but long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Attack power(5)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...ng_bolt_01.pngLightning bolt
It can maybe cause additional damage(show by red text). But long cooldown.
The additional damage frequency increases to two times when duration time is empowered.
(I empowered duration time +5, but additional damage frequency not increased to three times)
-Recommended empowerment: Duration time(2)

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...c_burst_01.pngMagic burst
It's AoE!(Area of Effect) and short cooldown but low attack power and high SP consumption.
It can't acquire in CB1. No more comment...
-Recommended empowerment: Cooldown(probably)

Convert your HP into your SP but conversion efficiency is not good.
There is no reason used at solo, and I think you should not use this for saving cleric's SP even if you are in party.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Dispel_01.pngDispel
Remove 1 curse or debuff(bleed) from yourself or other player. Clerics can't cure these by spells.
If you want to use it for yourself, set your target to yourself, enemy or none.
(For target yourself, click your portrait or press F1 key)
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

Even if all SP has burned, monsters can specially attack.
But these have longer range and useful for pull. These have long long cooldown.
-Recommended empowerment: Nothing

[General FAQ]
Q.We need empower for decrease SP consumption?
A.I think it's NOT necessary because you use the HP stones faster than SP stones.

Q.We need empower for decrease cooldown for Ice(Fire, Lightning) bolt?
A.I think it's NOT necessary because it's enough that you use those bolts once in each fight(I think also skill point is insufficient for empowering as many as three bolts).

Q.I'm pooooooooor!!!11!1
A.At least, you should use max level weapon that you can equip.(refine is taboo if you have no money).
Please defeat a low lvl(green named) enemy who can knock it down by receiving damage only a little.

nooo FIRE...your guide must'nt be better then mines!!!!lol xD where did u get the skill icons btw? i need mines for the cleric guide =/...nice guide though I hope it helps someone xD


FIRERIOT IS PRO!!!!!!:cool:

Nice! I plan on making a Mage so this helps me alot ;D

By the looks of it he took them himself and just cropped out the rest of the image. Great Guide would it be alright to add this to the wiki when it gets back up as well as your teq?

Ohh nice, I like the recommendations bit, although I already found a lot of errors I made on my mage by looking through your guide (since I have like, no idea what I'm doing xD).

Will be useful when CB2 starts!

o.0 now that i pay close attention xD...lol i hadnt actually looked...sure as long as im still allowed to update it a bit needs skills, builds and grinding tips added onto mines

Just update it on this forum and Ill try to keep it updated in the wiki.

okie sounds good

I got them from my video file, screenshots, and Bright Kingdom(Japanese version of Fiesta).

Good guide! Thanks, I'll reward you with ... um...

...
...

REP! Lol.

Ok its like this Magic Missle is the one spammable skill mages have it has a really really low cool down at lvl one...so Its good for anti cleric pvp...so you simply upgrade it as you like but in the skill window there are little arrows which allow you to select which rank of the skill you want to use. So you select the rank of the skill depending on your situation...and Fire meant upgrading Magic Missle for cooldown is the most important thing...but you can also upgrade its attack power if you like.

Oh wow. When I first started the game, I was tempted to carry over my WoW factor and create a mage. Maybe I still consider this....

Mages in Fiesta really dont play like Mages in WoW....well in my opinon they dont...I think mages in Fiesta require hrmm a bit more touch to play really.:D

Ice is a very very very nice skill specially for use when soloing as it slows mobs down...We used it when me and Fireriot were training in Collapsed Prison the mobs there are lvl 50+ where as I could tank them Fires dmg would lure them onto him so we jus used Ice...But to remedy the problem with the Fire Skill you should just pump points into cool down i suppose.

Or you can just take me along teq, who needs ice ;D

Nice guide fire

Yeah, having PRO friends is better than using ice. lol

I think your guide is nice too, Andy =)

*probably* yes, higher level of ice missle has higher slowdown effect.
however, it is necessary to wait even for CB2 to check it.

This guide is a bit old now because I updated Wiki.
You can get latest info from Wiki.

Missle[01] combo is probably for bosses. Another combo that I use it using Firebolt[01] with 3 skill empowerment in decrease cool down time.

Firebolt[01]->M Missle[01]->Lightning->Missle->Fire->Ice->Missle->Fire->Missle->run around till Missle appears->Fire->Repeat with other bolts

This helps a lot in Boss battles since it's almost an unlimited combo of magic

Thanks for useful information. =)
I updated skill combo section.

KQ bosses for instance

hey great guide, really helped me out with planning my mage :)
