Skill Empowerment

Tips:

  • Basically we should empower attack power or cooldown.
  • When empowering attack power, the effect is proportional to base attack power.
  • Another way is:
  • To fully max the cooldown times in the following order
  • Magic missile - firebolt
  • after firebolt has a maxed cooldown max it's power for the most attack the fastest

Skill Combinations


Basic Combo 1(5-hit): Missle[max]->Ice[max]->Lightning[max]->Fire[max]->Missle[max]

It's the most basic combo. However, we usually can't defeat a enemy by using this combo. We need to deal more damage.

Basic Combo 2(7-hit): Missle[01]->Ice[max]->Missle[01]->Lightning[max]->Missle[01]->Fire[max]->Missle[01 or max]

It's the advanced combo. You can deal more damage than combo(1) but need more time for cast all spells, and you will maybe get some damage from enemy. It's risky but you can beat monsters faster. If you need more XP than money, it's recommended style.

High DPS Combo(7-hit, decrease cooldown is required in Magic Missle): Missle[max]->Ice[max]->Lightning[max]->Missle[max]->Burst[max]->Fire[max]->Missle[max]

Magic Burst is also useful when you are fighting with only 1 monster for chain skills. This combo has high DPS but you need more SP.

Another combo(9-hit) (from Sheapy): Fire[01]->Missle[01]->Lightning[max]->Missle[01]->Fire[01]->Ice[max]->Missle[01]->Fire[01]->Missle[01]->run around till Missle appears->Fire[01]->Repeat with other bolts

It's 9-hit! however please note certain between Firebolt[01] and Firebolt[max] a considerable difference in attack power. (Especially, if you have high level of fire bolt or empowered its attack power.)

No Damage by Monsters Combo(from IronDe): Ice[max]-> FB1-> Missile[max]-> Lightning[Max](run backwards)-> Blast[max]-> MM1-> FB1-> MM1 Should be dead without it touching you unless your ice didn't effect it. - - This is the perfect combo for INT mages or mages that have no +9 armour.

AoE Combo: Fire[max]->Burst[max]->Missile[01]->Lightning[max]->Missle[01]->Ice[max]->Missle[01]->Burst[max]->Missle[01]->Missle[01]->Missle[01]->Missle[01]->Burst[max]

When you're in a party and have more than two monsters attacking your tank (suggested to be Warrior/Fighter), this helps. It's suggested for use of level 30 or higher players. As long as nobody needs to be running around unless luring/gathering more monsters into the area, this provides extremely fast grinding. This is not for you if you need to rest/house, because there's usually no time to stop in this kind of grinding session. If you're lucky, you'll make more than enough money to compensate for your consumption.
Make sure you have at least 3 to 4 points on cooldown of Fire, or you might have to throw in another Missile[01] before it.


Solo Chain

Ice(max)->Missle[01]->Bolt[max]->Missle[01]->Fire[01]->Missle[01]->Burst[max]->Missle[01]->Fire[01]->Missle[01]

Basically this combo works well for the solo mage and does the most damage in the shortest period of time with the least risk to you when combatting a single enemy with NO WAIT AT ALL. I chose to use level 1 magic missle and fire because the cooldowns are good. anything after level 1 for fire brings the cooldown from 5 secs up to 15 with the ligntning and ice. Keeping fire at level 1 allows for the highest possible attack strings with a relatively low overall mana cost. I will also mention that I used no skill points to change attack cooldowns, damage, ect. I figured that if Fire[max] wasn't going to do AT LEAST double damage why bother waiting 3 times as long to use it? Why not pay less mana and use it more, ultimately achieving more damage in a shorter time. Additionally, more attacks means more chances for criticals, so it's a win-win situation. Plus the fact that starting with ice has a very good chance of slowing the enemy and it's 1.5m farther attack distance above all other attacks the mage has makes it the only obvious choice for the first attack. The first 10 attacks have no gaps between them, so you get 10 attacks before your ice finishes cooling down and usually your foe is dead. If not, wait 2 seconds and start the whole thing over again, plus throw a magic missle while you wait those 2 whole seconds out. If you wanted to phase out cooldown completely, just reduce the cooldown on ice and lightning and you're golden.

Unceasing Chain

Requires: Magic Blast (Level 49), one point for decrease cooltime into Magic Missle. No need to max cooldown time on both MM and FB.

MB -> MM1 -> Fire Bolt [1] -> MM1 -> MB -> MM1 -> Ice Bolt -> MM1 -> MB -> MM1 -> FB1 -> MM1 -> MB -> MM1 -> Lightning Bolt -> MM1 -> MB -> MM1 -> FB1 -> MM1 -> MB -> MM1 -> ...

The idea is the use MM1 as much as possible, using Magic Blast and Fire Bolt whenever possible, and having Lightning Bolt and Ice Bolt as the 2 filler spells. I suggest using level 1 spells for the bolts, since by the time you can use Magic Blast, the additional damage from the level 8 spells pales in comparison to the total damage with a +9 weapon. The SP consumption is low. Damage output is consistent and periodic. Only Magic Blast has a cast time attached to it, but the damage return for it is pretty good.

SP Conservation (AoE)

Make sure you use Magic Missile 1, Fire Bolt 1, and your highest magic burst with all SP decrease.

Magic Burst[Max]-> Magic Missile[1]-> Fire Bolt[1]-> Magic Missile[1]-> (repeat)

I love to AOE when grinding, it makes things quicker, but it is also sp and stone consuming.If you like to use magic blast, you can replace the 3rd magic missile with it.

Endless Chain

Required level: 20+(for learn Magic Burst)

Required empowerment: Cooldown +5 in Magic Missle and Cooldown +5 in Fire Bolt

Missle[1]-> Fire[1]-> Missle[1]-> Ice->

Missle[1]-> Fire[1]-> Missle[1]-> Burst->

Missle[1]-> Fire[1]-> Missle[1]-> Lightning->

Missle[1]-> Fire[1]-> Missle[1]-> Burst->(repeat)

The combination of MFM(Missle[1]->Fire[1]->Missle[1]) is very convenient. Cast your favorite spell after MFM will become help of the your combo customizing.

For example, you can use Magic Blast instead of Magic Burst if you have it.

heres a pretty good chain(edited in by whitefang) mm1-->fire bolt--->mb repeat

its pretty fast and very low sp is used and theres never any wait good for boss battles when ur the only mage for more damge replace mb with fireball and while it cools use mb agian ^^ hope it helps ^^

The Basics

Screenshot of Roumen by Pritcher from FiestaFan.

So you have just created your Mage character, and have spawned in a city called Roumen. All you have is a basic Staff in your inventory. To equip the Staff, press the "I" key or click on the Inventory icon in the bottom right corner. Click on the Staff and click on either slot of the slots with a "hand" background(or just right-click your staff in your inventory).

After you have equipped your Staff, talk to Element Helper Remi to being your "First Steps" quest, which will provide you with your first experience, money, and fame. Follow the directions and eventually you will be directed to Healer Julia. Continue following the directions and you'll be done with the "First Steps" quest! By now, you should have 3 Experience and 6 copper, as well as a little fame.

Now you are ready for combat. As a level 1 player, the only monster weak enough will be Slimes. Talk to Weapon Title Master Zach to begin "Killer Slime" quest. In this quest, you will need to kill 10 Slimes. You will only need to kill 7 slimes to level, but you will want to kill 10 in order to finish the quest and get your "Novice Boots", your first piece of armor!

You will get more armor as you level up and do more quests.

Basic Combat Guide for Mages

Mages have high magic attack power but very low physical attack power. So, you have to use spells for the win.

At first, check your shortcut bar and find Magic missle icon. If you can't find it, setup your skill shortcuts before next step.

Image:Shortcut_mage2.png('3' key is Magic missle)

Second, click a enemy for target and press '3' key for cast your magic missle. All spells(and skills) have cooldown time, and you can't cast a spell during cooldown time. You should run away from enemy until your spell is ready(if you have other attack spell and it's ready, you can cast it).

General FAQ

  • Q. Should we put skill points into decrease SP consumption?
  • A. It's NOT necessary because you use the HP stones faster than SP stones when solo. Also, fighters use the SP stones faster than yours when partying.
  • A2. But putting your first skill point on SP reduction on your magic missle will save a lot of SP over time. I would not recommend putting anymore on any other skill thus you would be wasting potential cooldown and power upgrades
  • Q. Should we put skill points to decrease cool down times for Ice/Fire/Lightning bolt?
  • A. Decreasing cooldown time for Fire Bolt is good, but it's not necessary for Ice/Lightning Bolt. The most important point is to decrease cooldown time for Magic Missle.
  • Q. I'm poor though!
  • A. At least, you should use a max-level weapon that you can equip (refining is taboo if you have no money). Please defeat a low-level (yellow- or green-named) enemy who can knock it down by receiving damage only a little. You'll also save SP consumption if you max cooldown of Magic Missile[01] and use that, since it only costs 3 SP to cast. Some people choose to grind by Maxing Magic Missile's cooldown and casting Magic Missile[01] at enemies where they can kill the monster before it hits them (or only has enough time to hit you once).
