Level 20 Job Change Guide: Mages

[JimJimster]

good guide, be sure to mention that if u dont want to risk your life in the forrest of mist u can enter from the south entrance from a portal in sand beach, its like 60 meters away from the guy u need to talk to to enter the dungeon

Nice guide but I didnt really seem to have a problem with this maybe im just lucky or a decent player? I failed it once and it was because im one of those people who grab a quests and just click next I dont ever read anything so I didnt relize I was about to fight and I had like 1 pot and 0 stones so I got past the whole thing accept for the end I failed horribly there, But I came back with pots/stones and passed it no problem at all didnt use any scrolls or buffs at all. Again maybe I just got lucky with crits and stuff not sure but its definatley a fun and interesting way to get your "job".

I failed like 4 times before I finally got it >_< It was just the ending part I could never do, all of the parts before it were easy.

Make sure you dont fight them all at the same time. make archers your secondary target, they dont do any special moves to even bother. if your a mage make sure to run but not towards your clone/

^^ I hadn't seen this before Blaaah much more thorough than the one i posted in the Mage section today

Just to comment on the weapon choice. if you go Staff you should already have two passive upgrades on it so it can be the better choice if you're looking for a bigger upgrade to your current damage, i personally will stick with the Wands, but yea Staffs look cool

another tip i dont think i saw in here (but i only skimmed) is if you unequip your stuff before you enter the quest, your shadow will be naked, dealing less damage and with less defense. then when you enter the black room with the blue light, unequip again.

Some screenshots for an example/proof. double that and my fairly extensive buff up(look at all dem scrollz!!1!!eleven) i could have easily gotten away with using just stones or just pots.
