Difficult

[Triumph]

You referring to anyone in particular there, Triumph? I need scrolls btw.

To successfully play a mage you need to handle a few things:

-you always need potions & stones. if you don't have the money for it, you need to rethink how you make money. simple as.

-you practically always need scrolls, AT LEAST def and vit, to be effective.

-you need an area where you have room to maneuver. if you fight in a cramped spot, you wont be able to move away from the monster while blasting it with your magic. trust me, you don't really want to fight 2 mobs at a time. :P

These all hold true only if youre playing solo. In a party, mages become gods, so no worries there.

Mages become gods, PFFT.

Least I can run into a mob and come out in one piece... *cough*

You can solo up wil about level 20, then you're going to start needing a party, or scrolls and potions handy. We really aren't mean to be able to solo with ease D:

Mages are easy enough and basically also sought after in a party so i dont know why you find it hard to level. Just get atleast a fighter in a party if u dont want a large party.
