OMFG 7 PQs in a row during rushes have left me with 64% in Level 30. I'm probably going to level to 31 tonight so this is what I want to know: I've already put my 1 SP in MP Eater when I leveled so where does the next 3 SPs go? 2 to Fire Arrow and 1 to Teleport or all 3 to Fire Arrow?

3 in Fire Arrow so you don't get an addiction to teleport. Teleport is useful, but extremely expensive. If you really want Teleport, put 2 in Teleport and 1 in fire arrow to lessen the MP cost of Teleport.
O_o

Do NOT put two in teleport. Getting teleport is fine, just don't expect to use it at all when you're fighting. I'd say put three in fire arrow, and put one in teleport around level 34 or so.

[Squeek]

Rofl,I bet you've been dropping Diamond and Gold ores.

What's wrong with doing that?

10k is dirt to me. Not even 0.1% of my funds.

I'm just about ready to start NPCing Crystal Ores along with everything else I NPC because it's a hassle selling them and it's not worth it. I already NPC about 90% of the drops I get.

~Squeek

PS - 63% to 80.

[Sol_Solis]

I'm leve 6, this game is crazy.

[evilbutterfly]

Oh, and EB, at that level you'd do best 1HKOing Jr. Pepes in case you didn't know. 75 EXP as opposed to 65.

I know, but I can stand to play more (and therefore level more) when I'm not worried about leveling. When I'm collecting horns I worry more about my warior's exp bar, which I can't even see. Also, JrG.s are a lot easier to fight. Horizontal fighting > vertical fighting, IMO. Also, I alternate between JrG.s (I get about 10 pots for every 1 I use) and Nependeaths (I use about 10 pots for every 1 I get) so that I never have to buy pots. I could do that with Jr. Pepes, but all the walking between them would get annoying.

PS: Tried my hand at Jr. Yetis again the other day. I can hit them about 2/3 of the time, and when I do hit them, I almost always 2hk them. Won't be long before I'm spending a lot of time in El Nath....

It's too bad I quit, I could sell ANYTHING at the most OUTRAGEOUS prices ever and buy things so dirt cheap it would make you cry.

Ask bandit or Ignite about it.

[lord_carbo]

Rofl,I bet you've been dropping Diamond and Gold ores.

I think I lost either an amethyst ore or opal. Still, like Squeek said, it'll be dirt cheap later. I've played enough MMORPG's to know that anything a noob can get ain't gonna be expensive.

[Chromer]

I'm confused. Ever major F/P Wiz build I've read on Maple Story sites say that at Level 31 I should put +1 in Tele and +2 in Fire Arrow. I have about 1800 MP so would that be bad or what?

[evilbutterfly]

Chromer: Teleport is a giant waste of money and is WAY overrated. Only at level 20 is it really worth it (only 13 MP used and you go farther), and at this point you should be working on Fire Arrow and Fire Arrow alone, NOT teleport. The reason a lot of guides say to get teleport is because the people who write the guides are either 1) teleporting whores or 2) not even beyond 30something with their character (I've seen guides that say at the top that the person wrote it at level 35 or so. It's retarded that they'd even bother).

Anywho, putting 1 point in MP Eater is good at level 30 because it will lower the potions you use quite a bit (whether you realize it or not). If you add 3 to fire arrow every level after that, it'll be maxed by 40. After that, you can start working on whatever the hell you want. Trust me, though, teleport will run your dry if you get it now. At level 46 I have 1 point in teleport and I can easily waste all my mana in about 20 seconds by holding up and the teleport key. I have hundreds more MP than you do and mine regens faster, too, so level 1 teleport at your level would be like getting a skill called "bye bye MP." Plus, if you haven't had teleport yet, you won't miss it. If didn't get it until level 41 and I was fine. Now, however, I'm so used to it that it's a drain on my MP.

One thing I have learned is that a lot of guides suck ass. I use guides as a guide (hence the name, rofl) and usually deem them stupid and change things around to fit my own needs. As long as you know what everything does, it's not hard to make good decisions about your skills. Don't be too reliant on guides. They're good for giving you ideas and telling you which skills suck complete ass so you don't get them, but don't take them as a final authority. Hell, I've seen guides that say to get magic armor, and we all know that's just fucking retarded.

Recap: Think for yourself, and when all else fails, ask me. I'm the only other F/P mage on FFR that I know of, and I've gotten pretty good at realizing what's good.

[Chromer]

Whoa. That was deep.

[Tokzic]

What EB really meant by all that was, "Get teleport."

Actually, since you've already used your freebie, don't touch anything but your primary attack (I'll assume Fire Arrow since Poison is only fun later on).;

[evilbutterfly]

Tokzic, learn to read. I said don't get teleport about 50 bajillion times. I have been saying that teleport is stupid for the past forever. Seriously, I dunno how you could see anything else in what I said.

And poison is teh sux until 3rd job lolz.

[ckj846]

I'm still confused by the skill Final Attack. Will it work in the 3rd job skills? If so, I might want to consider getting it... I was talking to some archers, and they said it was really useful, but that it messed them up. Does anyone know how it messes people up and if it is really worth all the SP to max it out? BTW EB, I'm a F/P Mage on Bera... level 30. XD
O_o

[ImEric12]

Hit level 47, so I went and solo'd a mushmom. I actually got one to myself, and killed it all on my own! =D Took forever, though. Ice is only half maxed, and lit is pretty much useless against it. I just had to jump, ice, jump, ice. Ice missed about half the time, and did at most 550 damage when it hit, heh. I'm still proud =D.

One more level until I can use my Cromi.

Three more levels until I can use my Green Nap and Flame Golden Circlet. AND EXPLORE EL NATH FINALLY.

Then I'm gonna go hardcore style on my sin, get his job advancement, and probably get him up to mid-30s or possibly 40 or so before I start being really active on my mage again.

At least I think that's what I'll do. My plans change frequently, though.

[banditcom]

Don't get FA. Those archers are stupid. Squeek posted the reason why it's dumb to get it. I forgot why, but it'll screw you over come 3rd job.

And yea, most guides are stupid. I should write a guide for 'sins.
