Chuey Wrote:Okay, thanks. Also, what would result in putting LUK in? I would just like to know so I'd have that common knowledge since this is a new class, afterall. Biggrin

You get to wear gear that has equal or less required LUK than you have.

Alright, thank you Cyanne and Joe greatly. That's all I have to ask now.

Well just recently (a few days ago, actually) I created a Blaze Wizard. To be honest, it's really my first ever time playing a Magician class, but I got a basic understanding so to say.

My Blaze Wizard is a low-LUK one (not LUKless) and I was just wondering what kindo' equips I should try to obtain/have? :x

Thing is, I'm not really a rich man, but I do want my Blaze Wizard to be at least above average in damage. All I really have right now is a iffy Maple Staff, Agent Overall, Agent Shoes, Agent Earrings (to give some extra LUK to wear an Esther Shield/Mystic Shield) and... that's it.

I'm doing LPQ right now to get Cracked Glasses, and yeah. So any help would be nice.

It's quiet simple, young sir. All you need is a decent weapon. As a KoC you get more ap than normal so thats more damage than normal. If it really comes down to it. try and obtain 2 or more lgasses and sell them cheap 150 milish.... and buy the level 103 ele wand, it'll help your damage but a pomegranate load. Don't worry about your overall really. or other equipments, just try and have fun.

The level 103 Ele is a Staff and it requires 108 luk. Too hefty of a price for a semi-funded low-LUK Blaze.

That build would be good for a more party-oriented cleric, but if you plan on soloing more, go with tele and MP Eater first. As for the rest of the build, I really can't say anything since I've never gotten a cleric to 3rd job. Though you should note that the build that gives the most % per hour would do nothing but pump Genesis until it's maxed, if you can afford it.

Does Elemental Reset take away the boost from ele wands? It seems logical, but I haven't seen it proven anywhere.

There's no reason to be a "party-oriented Cleric," nor has there been since Zombies came out. Tele and MP eater should be maxed first, so that you can train/PQ without spending a single pot. Nowadays with ZLupins, Master Chronos, H/Voodoos, and MP3 Clerics are one of the fastest levelling 2nd job classes.

Even if you're PQing, Tele and MP eater are still more useful than Bless and Invincible. The biggest asset a Cleric has is Heal. Every imaginable situation where people might want a Cleric involves you spamming Heal, MGless. Invincible is completely useless until late 2nd job, because you will be constantly recovering to full HP. Bless is a joke. No warrior relies on Bless to hit things anymore. If they do, they're a dumbass. The defense is garbage, and the avoid is useless for the same reason Invincible is useless.

tl;dr Bless and Invincible do not help you in any way in 2nd job. The earliest they become useful is at late 6x if you're training at Himes with an attacker, so max them last.

3rd job build looks good, 4th job build looks ridiculous o_o Infinity is the worst skill in your entire skillbook. Even when maxed it's only going to give you free MP for 1/15 of the time you'll be training. If you think you'll be too poor to train with Genesis for some reason, then I'd raise Big Bang. Genesis is generally raised until you can 2hko Skeles, which greatly depends on your equips.

^ btw Reset doesn't cancel the ele wand boost.

Actually I'm already level 76. So the 2nd Job build is over.

What do you suggest for 4th job build then?

42 normal luk BW, any suggestions on training, Ive been at coldeyes for 12 levels now..
Im still using a 25 staff and wearing my cygnus robes >_>.
I will upgrade to the 38 one and wear some level appropriate clothes. The only thing I have that is somewhat special is my 2int purple Wisconsin Sad. I have no desire to do the agent quests or enough money to buy the equips.


Ask a Magician Thread. - Holypie - 2009-08-07

You can at least get a 50/50 on the speed quiz for a decent overall. Also buy 5 watermelons to get a good staff. Seriously refusing to do the agent quests is like refusing to get free magic attack.


Ask a Magician Thread. - FrostPreye - 2009-08-07

My highest was like 8/50

Magatia shall own your soul. Go to C-1 now, and C-2 around 46 or 47 (when you should hit Neo Huroids 100%). Both maps have incredible spawn and many large sniping spots. By the way, if you need money, break down your etcs into monster crystals: I've made a small fortune selling monster crystals in my shop for 100k each, when the etcs on their own would only go for 6k.

Holy pomegranate, really? I think I'm gonna go buy a poison ewand right now. 80m is much cheaper than 300m when you're only talking about a 14% increase in damage.

Level 47 lukless blaze wizard here wondering what to wear for headgear. I'm not even looking for stuff with int, just something that's better than my traditional cygnus headgear. Any cheap options?

Black Wisconsin or Green Bandana Goggleemoticon other than those, you could go for a low INT Black Bandana or Purple Wisconsin.

I did the Boss PQ a bunch of times to get the permanent Agent equip (I would get to Alishar and start again). That held me off until I could get it a Zhelm at 70.

^This is a good idea.

I had a 4 int 2 luk Purple Bandana that I got a while back and cost me almost nothing, but helm int scrolls are probably a lot more expensive now that scissors are out.

How do you survive at papulatus with all the dispelling as a mage? I always seem to get hit right as I'm dispelled before I can use a pot... Also, top bombs still kill me =P.
