Equipts & Armour
At low levels, try getting greens, although they are not too important.
Go do your lovley quests, grind on mara soldiers untill you hit twenty (Mage guide for that later on in this post.) and then you can choose between a Staff and a Wand.

Staff
  • Higher Aim
  • More crits?
  • Look cooler :]

Wand
  • More damage
  • More crits?

So, make your choise. I would recomment Wands for DD's, slap on an aim scroll and you should be fine. Also, +9ing is the way foreward, as it gives you almoust double the damage, and thats what mages want.
Subnote : Please do not +9 anything without miles/eyes (Real money, press X to enter the cash shop) And also, i see no need to +9 anthing untill 30's, absolute earliest. The rate at wich you level from 1 to 30 is mucch to fast for you to benifit from a +9.
Also, it might be a good idea to have a staff with you if your using the wand, so incase you need looooots of aim, not so much the damage, then you can help yourself (You dont...really need to +9 two items.)

And for thoose who prefer staffs, bring a wand. Your aim might be incredibly high and you want that extra damage.

Statwise, you want to find Int and/or End on your staff. Dex and Spr are usefull, but focus on Int and End. Again, this is your choise. Orient stats around your build, and make it suit.

Armour
Somthing we all love. Shows us what levels we are, how strong we are and whatever else.
Again, you want Int and End, Dex/Spr not really needed, but help alot.

Just a note, before you upgrade your armour, check that your previous armour isnt as good as the new armour. Aka, if you have a godly level 66 hat, and only an INT 76 hat, just stick with the 66 hat-It would have more benifits, and just go scouting for better armour. Dont go too extreme, as in, dont be at level 70 with your godly level 26 hat.

"Where do i get my Armour!!!!!"
Its basically just luck. Different mobs drop different armour with better stats, but take into consideration that you will have to buy lots of your "godly" armour. And also, if you need a level 20 hat, its usless to grind on slimes-if you get any drops, they will be for level 6-ish.

Also, if you have the money/luck you might want to +9 your armour as it gives extra def. (This is pretty much not worth it untill 40's at the earliest.)

A note to Enhancing. T1 items, aka anything under level 30, has a low chance of breaking untill +7. Give it a go, if you have the money for a new staff and the luck needed. Once you hit T2, dont try to +x anything naturally.

Level 20 Jobchange
As i promised, i will give a small guide to the level 20 jobchange. If you want the level 60 one, just scroll down a bit more.
Mages have the hardest time doing this quest, so be ready for dying a few times before actually making it. Dont let your heard sink!.

So, you have just hit level 20? Go to elderine and talk to Enchanter Master Wishis. She will make you go massacre 10 boars. Eaaaaassy. By now you shuold know that they are...in the middle of Forest Of Mist. When youre done, return to Wishis, finish the quest and talk to Grand Master Sean in Forest of Mist (the guy at the lake).

After talking to him, go grind some monsters in Forest of Mist and get a drop called a "Shadow Key".
BEFORE YOU TALK TO SEAN AGAIN, go restone, get some pots, get a buff, slap on T1/T2 vit/aim/def(/mentality/eva) and rest to full hp/sp. Now, talk to Sean and he will warp you to the Shadow Dungeon.
Nice, huh?
Remember you cannot rest in the Shadow Dongeon
You now have 20 minutes to finish this quest. I hope you thank me for telling you to use the scrolls before enteing, as right before your eyes, a clone appears.
What are you waiting for? Kill it.
Ok, maybe not. After about 500 damage, he will be untargetable, as he locks you into place while he runs away.

No time to waste, chase him :\. On your way, youll have to kill Two Shadow Keblings, nothing too hard. Just be prepared.
After having killed thoose two squishy mobs, you enter a room and your clone changes into someone else, as 6 Shadow Skeletons appear (3 archer, 3 fighter).
Take them on One by One, and you should make it.
After that, youll need to kill 3 shadow keblings. When youve finished that, your clone will tell you to follow the blue light. Walk on a bit and youll understand what he meant. The room goes all dark, and a blue light appears.
Go follow, and when you get to the end, the lights come back on. Before doing anything, get as close to the end as you can, and kill the Stone Goblin thing that spawns. Then go and take on the Marlone Archer and Fighter. Now, face your clone. At about half of the clones health, another stone thing appears. Kill that and then continue massacring yourself. Keep watching your Health, Sp and keep looking around you.

Success!

You will get warped to Grand Master Sean after 30 seconds. Talk to him, select a weapon of your choise (read above to see what to choose) and...
Gratz!

The Naked Way
As dirty as i may sound, if you are fast and feel like you can do it, then what you can do is take all your armour and your weapon off before you go in, and the second your spawn appears, put your armour back on (QUIIIIICK!) and your little clone will do less damage to you (aslong as you were fast enough to put your armour back on)
Remember, he appears twice, once after the blue light (take them off while your running in the blue light, put them back on while fighting the Stone Golem thing)

Also, as a weapon, it might be smart to put your normal weapon on "8" and then put the level 1 item on "9" (example) so you can switch your weapon faster. (This is what i did, so i had timme to change my weapon and put my armour on at the same time.)
