I outdo you if we're both fighting ice enemies, except that I'd miss more. I love being a fire mage! =D

[ImEric12]

More adventures!

Waited about 50 minutes, and finally found one of these



I coulnd't hit it, I don't remember if EB could. There were some level 50s there with us.

And then this



MM died again at Sanctuary Entrance I, but I solo'd all the way in, and made it. No Jr. Balrog though =(

[evilbutterfly]

Yes I hit it, hence the little bit of experience you got in that screenshot. I'll come back in a few levels and utterly destroy her. >=D

PS: You didn't have very many pots, indeed. O_O

[Squeek]

If it's anything like Scania over there, you're never going to get the chance to kill one.

In Scania, there are roughly half a dozen people camping the Mushmom PER CHANNEL.

Then they brag when they beat a Cleric because I'm 15 levels above them.

Well I have an 8 o'clock class Mon-Fri, and I get back here at 9. If you've ever been on from about 7am-9am, you'll know that it's pretty much vacant on MS then. I could get on and surf channels to kill a mushmom or two EASILY.

Hey guys, I remade my mage beucase I lost interest in my Fire wizard.
Right now I'm a 27 Mage, Maxima.

I've been thinking about choosing cleric or ice/lightning, and it's got me really stumped. Most mages I see walkin around are high leveled Clerics, is this because its easier to level? Once in a while I'll see a high leveled Ice wizard, is this because its harder to level?

Also I want to be informed on a Cleric and Ice/lightning wizard for the following:

What's the difficulty leveling like? Like, from levels 30-40, 40-50.
How's the cash? Making good money? Or spending most of it?
(Applies to Ice/Lightning wizard only)> Hows the damage? I.E.: Maxed Ice attack vs. a fire boar or somthing. And then Maxed Ice attack vs. Normal monster.
And Finally, IYO, how fun are they?

[ImEric12]

Now that I've seen third job skills, I'm kinda considering starting over and making a cleric... 3rd job wizard skills suck =\

[Pumble]

You actually plan to level to 70?

[Tokzic]

Niikos is almost level 14 now. w00t. Magic Claw, here I come.

dragoniaz, when choosing a mage, you have to pick the one that fits YOU. Squeek, for example, is a cleric, because he likes partying with people and being a support character. Tosh and I are fire wizards because we like to see huge numbers pop up when we hit things (currently I can do more damage than Squeek against ice monsters, and he's 20some levels ahead of me). Other people became ice/lightning wizards for lightning, because killing squads of enemies is fun. A few people went for ice because freezing stuff is also fun. Lightning lets you kill groups of enemies, which makes leveling a lot easier, at least at first. Clerics get heal, which lets them whore zombie mushrooms (and later zombie lupins) for exp, but later on there aren't many/any zombie monsters that you can hit with heal. This means you're stuck to playing support and depending on other people or you have to keep fighting zombies even when you're a high level. Ice wizards have a hard time because most of the high leveled areas (below the Ant Tunnel, El Nath) are ice-based, so they do half the damage. Later on though there are more fire places (like Zakum's quest), but those aren't even in the game yet.

And if you're looking at 3rd job, here's the breakdown: I/L mages have the highest overall attacking spell (thunder spear or something like that), and their magic comp spell does high damage AND freezes. They get a decent mob attack, too. F/P mages get AWESOME mob attacks, and their magic comp has pretty good damage + it poisons enemies, making it great. Clerics (I forget the name of them in 3rd job) get crazy support skills, including one that increases the exp you get. I've heard that most people won't even play unless they have that buff on them in a party, because otherwise it's just too slow. As a cleric, you would HAVE to party with people to level up at this point, since your attack is so far behind everyone else's that you can't do anything by yourself.

Wow, I guess I found a bad translation.

I think I'll stick with my lit wizard.

Thunder Spear, Seal, and Magic Comp. look sweeeeet.

[blitzmage]

So yeah I hit level 50 3 days ago.
But now I am so unintrested in the game that I am averaging 5% a day before I get bored.
Oh and I have no idea what to train on.

[dRaGoNiaZ]

Thanks Evilbutterfly, I'll probably choose Ice.

On another note, I made a new rocord in PQ'ing today! ( A self record )
We did 22 PQ's in a row, on channel 1. We rushed everytime and got in 22 times, was awesome, gained 2 levels. Now I'm lvl 29

[Squeek]

The boredom tends to set in in the late 30s and 40s. If you actually manage to get to 50, congratulations. 60 is astounding. Even moreso for 70.

People lose interest in this game so incredibly fast. Probably the harshness of leveling.

[ToshX]

I'm level 35, and I'm just getting more and more excited as I do more damage.
