*Magicians depend solely on magic skills to attack. Use them, ordinary weapon attacks are useless. | *Magicians depend solely on magic skills to attack. Use them, as ordinary weapons and weapon attacks are useless. | ||
*Add 1 energy bolt at level 8 (6 MP per attack). | *Add 1 energy bolt at level 8 (6 MP per attack). Do not add magic claw (10 MP per attack) yet. 6 MP per attack is sustainable considering how little MP you have now. | ||
*Try to Max MP Increase 1st. (add 5 MP recovery 1st ONLY) This will give you plenty of MP to utilize.(MP increase formula is 15 + (total int * 0.1), may have slight variation as decimals aren't displayed) Slower MP recovery will be remedied in the 2nd job by MP Eater. (The MP recovery formula for mages is skill level (character level/10) +3. The final +3 stands for the basic mana recovery rate for beginners. Therefore maxing MP recovery early on before Max MP Increase '''DOES NOT''' improve your mana recovery rate. If you sit on a Relaxer or a Palm Chair, MP recovery is 1.5 (skill level(character level/10) +3).) | *Try to Max MP Increase 1st.

*Do not add Magic Armour. It is not useful in the long run as monsters will deal a lot of damage later on (more than 500), so -20 damage isn't useful. Use Magic Guard instead. It diverts 80% of damage to MP, allowing you to survive many monsters, that would otherwise kill you in 1 hit. | *Do not add Magic Armour.

*If you want to have as much MP as possible, just start adding Max MP after advancing as the magician. Add 1 energy bolt after Maxing your MP. As training up to level 13(9374 experience from level 8 to 13) without energy bolt would be exhausting, it would be wise to ask a friend to train you past this stage. | *If you want to have as much MP as possible, just start adding Max MP after advancing as the magician.

*Choose MP pots that will recover about half of your MP. | *Choose MP pots that will recover about half of your MP. From level 1 to 30, try to use only blue potions and blue pills, as they won't tax your mesos too much. From levels 30 to 40 ~ 50, you could keep using blue potions, but 100 MP recovery for a 1000+ MP bar scarcely does anything. It is recommended, though, that you buy mana elixirs, pure waters, and elixirs as soon as you can afford them, since this will allow you to train much faster and more efficiently. | ||
*Being a mage (what magicians are known as), the status effect that will lead to your downfall is Seal, cast by some monsters like Jr. Boogie and Fairies. Carry some Holy Water to remedy this. | *Being a mage (what magicians are known as), the status effect that will lead to your downfall is Seal, cast by some monsters like Jr. Boogie and Fairies.

*Some Mages choose to become a Pure INT mage. This means that they choose to add all their Ap in INT. The attack of these mages are exceptionally high, but they suffer from inability to don mage equipments, which need some luck. If you become one, wear a bathrobe. As for weapons, use the level 8 wand till level 35 (this will be somewhat difficult but worth it), and switch to a Maple Staff (Weapon attack-25,Magic attack-48,100 more HP). At level 43, upgrade to a Maple Lama Staff (Weapon attack-39,Magic Attack-58,100 more HP,50 more MP). At level 64, get a Maple Shine Wand (Weapon attack-49,Magic attack-80,1 more INT,100 more HP,100 more MP) OR a Maple Wisdom Staff (Weapon attack-50,Magic attack-80,1 more INT,150 more HP,50 more MP).

Also get a Maple Magician Shield at level 64; a Stolen Fence, Pan Lid and Maple Shield can be utilized during earlier levels. Don't forget to buy a hinomaru fan from the free market too. A good one can have MORE Magic Attack than some level 90 staffs! The Maple Staff, Maple Lama Staff, Maple Shiny Wand and Maple Wisdom Staff are available during anniversary periods. During other times, just buy them from the free market (although they are extremely expensive, they are well worth it). | ||
