Level 20 Job Change Quest: Mages

So, level 20 now, eh? Happy that you can do your job change quest? You think this is going to be easy? THINK AGAIN! Now, it could be easy for fighters and clerics, but for mages, that’s not how it works when we have low endurance and high damage (my character had +6 END at the time I took the quest). I have failed the quest three times before succeeding, and if you want to save your time and money to get through this in the first go, then read this guide. I will try and help all the mages out there to prepare for this horrible job change quest. Some might have found it easy, but it was fairly difficult for me because I had no idea what I was supposed to be expecting. This guide is specifically for mages, although I believe all the other classes do the same thing anyway, so I guess it’s still useable for everyone else (except I don’t have any useful tips for other classes).

Before you begin, you will need:

• HP/SP stones and potions. You will need it throughout the quest (mainly for the last part).
• Scrolls (I have used vitality, power and… another one that increases your defense but I forgot what it was called). You will need this for the last part.
• Elderine/Roumen scrolls if you don’t want to walk all the time.

Oh and also, if you have a computer that likes to stuff up or lag every now and then, I suggest you to restart your game/computer/whatever just as a safety measure. I had failed my third attempt because of lag and that wasted a whole lot of my HP/SP pots and scrolls. Not sure if that would help, but it doesn’t hurt to do it anyway, right?

The Easy Part

Now have you have turned level 20, go to Elderine and speak to Enchanter Master Wishis.


Other classes go to the NPCs on the other three corners. Archers top right, warriors bottom left, and clerics bottom right.

She will then tell you to fight 10 boars (after you click a whole lot of Nexts). Piece of cake. I assume you know where boars are by now (if you don’t… they can be found at the centre of Forest of Mist near ratmen). When you’re done, return to Wishis and she’ll tell you to go back to Forest of Mist to see Grand Master Sean.



Note: Before you got ahead to find him, make sure you have stocked up all your HP/SP stones and potions, and your scrolls. The hard part comes next and you will save some time if you fetch your things from your bank now rather than going back and forth.

The Hard Part

Now, go find Grand Master Sean here:



He will tell you to fetch him the shadow key to get into the Dungeon of Shadow. You can kill any monster to get the key (the key is an actual drop). I’ve got mine from ratman, but I’m certain you can get it from any mob. When you give him the key, he will let you into the Dungeon of shadow.



Before you click “Yes, I am”, start activating your scrolls. I’m telling you to do this now because when you get spawned in there, you would be too busy looking at your clone and wouldn’t have time to activate them since they have cool downs.


Yeah, I learnt it the hard way.

You will have 20 minutes to complete this part.

So when you meet your clone, it will start saying stuff like eliminating you, and then you will begin fighting. Now, from what I have observed, your mage clone has two types of attacks:

• She will hit your with your staff. She does it very slowly, like, *whack* -pause for a few seconds- *whack* -pause again- etc. It shouldn’t take more than half of your life, although she managed to hit me with a staff even though she was far away (not sure if this was a bug since it’s still CB).
• She can cast one spell on you. This spell HURTS. Without scrolls, you’re pretty much done for. With scrolls, it takes about half my life. You will notice that before casting the spell, she does a certain action and looks like she’s gathering energy or something (the animation looks a bit like when you make an enhancing stone, I think…). Anyway, you’ll see some sort of bright yellow/orange light shining in her hands. When you see this, make sure you have more than half of your life. Be ready to heal yourself. For me, even if I had about ¾ of my life, I ate a HP stone anyway just in case to get full life, and after she casts the spell on me, I will use a HP potion. I use both because both have a cool down and sometimes you can’t just wait for it to finish.

It would be good if you make sure you have a suitable spell combo. Because I have empowered my skills, my Magic Missile has a 4 second cool down and my other three skills have a 15 second cool down. I usually cast Magic Missile first (since it has a the shortest cool down), then cast two 15 second spells, cast magic missile again, then cast my last spell. I still have to wait a little bit every now and then, but at least I don’t have to wait as much if I did Magic Missile > All my other spells.

Also, as suggested by Sheapy, you could use your level 1 Magic Missile and Fire Bolt since they have a short cool down, that way you won’t have to feel as bored with nothing to do because of the long cool downs. =)

Anyway, your first battle with her wouldn’t last long. After you’ve taken about... I dunno... 200-400 hp maybe, she’ll say how boring you are and makes you follow her. You can’t follow her straight away because you get “locked” down for a few seconds. So on the way to following her, you will have to kill two shadow kebings. They’re not hard at all, so no stress.



Next, you have to fight 6 skeletons, I think. Try and approach them one at a time, because if you get near one, they will start coming at you, and you don’t want 3 hitting you at the same time, because that’s a waste of your HP pots. Some of them are ranged, and some of them are melee. Despite how many times I did this, I actually can’t really remember. Sorry for the lack of screens for this bit, I didn’t want to get lagged out because taking screenies lag my game sometimes. These shouldn’t be much trouble either.

When you’ve finished them, your clone will tell you to follow the blue light. I love this bit. It’s so cool! The screen goes all dark and you don’t see anything except the light. How exciting =3



When you reach the end, everything will light up and you will find your clone plus two other people. One was a man (melee) and the other was a woman (ranged). They will start to come and hit you, but at the same time, this stone monster also comes charging from behind! But no worries, the stone dude is easy to kill, so just turn around and kill that thing first. Remember to keep watching your SP and heal yourself! You can kill either next, but I killed the man first because he seemed to be doing more damage.

After you killed both of them, you start fighting your clone again. Remember the tips I have written above and you’ll be fine. Every now and then, another stone monster comes out (you will notice that there’s a few standing around on the walls in the beginning anyway). I think three of them came out throughout the whole thing for me. Anyway, keep fighting, and healing. I wouldn’t bother running if I were you. Clicking everywhere might mess you up and stones + potions were sufficient for me (although I had about 118 hp pots to begin with, LOL!). When you have finally killed your clone…



The prettiful SUCCESS sign pops up! xD Then you get about 30 seconds to stand around and admire yourself.
