About _____________________________________________________________________ --Wy become a magician.-- Once a Magician gets a high level it gets incredible strong, and he/she learns kick ass skills (even exp increase at 70+). Its fast lvling and makes nice money :) I think its the nicest class of all. _____________________________________________________________________ --MapleIsland guide.-- When you make your character make sure you put the right status points. This is what you will need: Str. 4 or 5 Dex. 4 or 5 Int. doesnt matter Luk. doesnt matter For a magician you dont need any Strenght or Dexterity becouse you wont be fighting with a sword, dagger etc. Make your character, and go to the green snails on maple island. Fight here until your level 8 and do the quest for green chair only, becouse other quest will be a waste of your time. When your 8 you are high enough to become a Magician and you will probably have enough money to buy your ticket to Victoria Island (150 mesos) and for the cab to ellinia.(100mesos) _____________________________________________________________________ --Status.-- Your Luk will be based on your level; your level +3 luk so when your level 10 you need to have 13 luk. You will need Luk so you can equip Magician armors and weapons. All points that dont go to Luk will go to Int. Practically each level 4 Int and 1 Luk. You will need Int for a high magical Attack. _____________________________________________________________________ --Skill Tree 1.-- This is the most important of a magician; the basic skills. When you will be high level you will need much mp but a high attack to. This build is the 'normal' recommended build, it's not really hard but still good: lvl 08 => +1 Energy Bolt lvl 09 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 10 => +2 Mp recovery / +1 Mp increase lvl 11 => +3 Mp increase lvl 12 => +3 Mp increase lvl 13 => +3 Mp increase (Max) lvl 14 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 15 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 16 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 17 => +2 Mp recovery (MAX) / +1 Magic Claw lvl 18 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 19 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 20 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 21 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 22 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 23 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 24 => +1 Magic Claw (MAX) / +2 Magic guard lvl 25 => +3 Magic guard lvl 26 => +3 Magic guard lvl 27 => +3 Magic guard lvl 28 => +3 Magic guard lvl 29 => +3 Magic guard lvl 30 => +3 Magic guard (MAX) Energie bolt will be your main attack till a level of around 18. It is very important you keep this skill at 1! It is VERY important you will max mp increase as soon as possible. Here for you will need 5 mp recovery so that you will have to do that first. Magic claw will be your main attack when your level 18 becouse than it will do more damage than Energie bolt. You will need magic guard max when your high level and going to fight monsters that will hit 80% of your hp or even more! Dont put any skill point to Magic Armor since your becoming a cleric and you dont need it. _____________________________________________________________________ --Skill Tree 2.-- An even better, but much more difficult to level build would be: lvl 08 => +1 Mp recovery lvl 09 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 10 => +1 Mp recovery / +2 Mp increase lvl 11 => +3 Mp increase lvl 12 => +3 Mp increase lvl 13 => +2 Mp increase (Max 10) / +1 Energy bolt lvl 14 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 15 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 16 => +3 Mp recovery lvl 17 => +2 Mp recovery (MAX 16) / +1 Magic Claw lvl 18 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 19 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 20 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 21 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 22 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 23 => +3 Magic Claw lvl 24 => +1 Magic Claw (MAX 20) / +2 Magic guard lvl 25 => +3 Magic guard lvl 26 => +3 Magic guard lvl 27 => +3 Magic guard lvl 28 => +3 Magic guard lvl 29 => +3 Magic guard lvl 30 => +3 Magic guard (MAX 20) The downside of this build is that you wont have a magic attack til level 14, on the other hand you will have a little more mp. _______________________________________________________________________ --Training Place.-- lvl 8-9 hit blue and green snails, when your on low mana just fight with sword. lvl 10-18 slime tree in ellinia.(tree that grew) lvl 19-22 pig beach(its a hidden-street) ask people to take you there lvl 23-30 party quest is the fastest way for exp and money if you dont want to party quest go kill horned mushrooms in ant tunnel 1 lvl 25+ _______________________________________________________________________ --Become CLERIC.-- Now you are 30 and ready to go get the advancement. Revisit Grendal the Old and he will say you have become really strong. He will give you a letter to take to the job instructer in Victoria Road: Forest North of Ellinia. There he will transport you into a dungeon. Buy potions before you enter it because the monsters all take 2 magic claws to kill and they hurt you around 80 damage. You have to collect 30 dark marbles. When you are done climb to the top of the dungeon and talk to the guy. He will give you proof of hero and you must show that to Grendal. He will now give you the option to choose your next job. ________________________________________________________________________ --Equipment.-- I would recommend not to buy each lvl that you can buy new armor's that'll save you very much mesos. I think the best are: all lvl 10 equipment, the level 18~20 and lvl 33. I recommend to do all the quest witch give good items like gloves and shoes. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ -------------------------Now that your a CLERIC------------------------- ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ --Status.-- Still keep your Luk; Level +3 and the rest into Int, i can say that you better put nothing into hp or mp. ________________________________________________________________________ --Party CLERIC Skill Tree.-- lvl 30 => +1 heal lvl 31 => +2 heal / +1 teleport lvl 32 => +3 heal lvl 33 => +3 heal lvl 34 => +3 heal lvl 35 => +3 heal lvl 36 => +3 heal lvl 37 => +3 heal lvl 38 => +3 heal lvl 39 => +3 heal lvl 40 => +3 heal (Max) lvl 41 => +3 invinceble lvl 42 => +2 invinceble / +1 bless lvl 43 => +3 bless lvl 44 => +3 bless lvl 45 => +3 bless lvl 46 => +3 bless lvl 47 => +3 bless lvl 48 => +3 bless lvl 49 => +1 bless (Max) / +2 invincelbe lvl 50 => +3 invinceble lvl 51 => +3 invinceble lvl 52 => +3 invinceble lvl 53 => +3 invinceble lvl 54 => +1 invinceble / +2 mp eater lvl 55 => +3 mp eater lvl 56 => +3 mp eater lvl 57 => +3 mp eater lvl 58 => +3 mp eater lvl 59 => +3 mp eater lvl 60 => +3 mp eater lvl 61 => +3 teleport lvl 62 => +3 teleport lvl 63 => +3 teleport lvl 64 => +3 teleport lvl 65 => +3 teleport lvl 66 => +3 teleport lvl 67 => +1 teleport / +2 holy arrow (rest) lvl 68 => +3 holy arrow lvl 69 => +3 holy arrow lvl 70 => +3 holy arrow (End it on 11) ________________________________________________________________________ --Solo CLERIC Skill Tree.-- This Strongest build, you will probable have the same as any other cleric at the end, but its a differend way of building your cleric. lvl 30 => +1 heal lvl 31 => +2 heal / +1 teleport lvl 32 => +3 heal lvl 33 => +3 heal lvl 34 => +3 heal lvl 35 => +3 heal lvl 36 => +3 heal lvl 37 => +3 heal lvl 38 => +3 heal lvl 39 => +3 heal lvl 40 => +3 heal (Max) lvl 41 => +3 Mp eater lvl 42 => +3 Mp eater lvl 43 => +3 Mp eater lvl 44 => +3 Mp eater lvl 45 => +3 Mp eater lvl 46 => +3 Mp eater lvl 47 => +2 Mp eater (max) / +1 invinceble lvl 48 => +3 invinceble lvl 49 => +1 invinceble / +2 bless lvl 50 => +3 bless lvl 51 => +3 bless lvl 52 => +3 bless lvl 53 => +3 bless lvl 54 => +3 bless lvl 55 => +3 bless lvl 56 => +3 teleport lvl 57 => +3 teleport lvl 58 => +3 teleport lvl 59 => +3 teleport lvl 60 => +3 teleport lvl 61 => +3 teleport lvl 62 => +1 teleport (max) / +2 invinceble lvl 63 => +3 invinceble lvl 64 => +3 invinceble lvl 65 => +3 invinceble lvl 66 => +3 invinceble lvl 67 => +1 invinceble (max) / +2 holy arrow (rest) lvl 68 => +3 Holy arrow lvl 69 => +3 Holy arrow lvl 70 => +3 Holy arrow (11) (My personal faforite :D ) ________________________________________________________________________ --LittleBit Solo and Party Skill Tree.-- This contains good in party but not bad for solo to. lvl 30 => +1 heal lvl 31 => +2 heal / +1 teleport lvl 32 => +3 heal lvl 33 => +3 heal lvl 34 => +3 heal lvl 35 => +3 heal lvl 36 => +3 heal lvl 37 => +3 heal lvl 38 => +9 heal lvl 39 => +3 heal lvl 40 => +3 heal (Max) lvl 41 => +3 invinceble lvl 42 => +2 invinceble / +1 bless lvl 43 => +3 bless lvl 44 => +3 bless lvl 45 => +3 bless lvl 46 => +3 bless lvl 47 => +3 bless lvl 48 => +3 bless lvl 49 => +1 bless (Max) / +3 Mp eater lvl 50 => +3 Mp eater lvl 51 => +3 Mp eater lvl 52 => +3 Mp eater lvl 53 => +3 Mp eater lvl 54 => +3 Mp eater lvl 55 => +2 Mp eater lvl 56 => +3 invinceble lvl 57 => +3 invinceble lvl 58 => +3 invinceble lvl 59 => +3 invinceble lvl 60 => +3 invinceble (Max) lvl 61 => +3 teleport lvl 62 => +3 teleport lvl 63 => +3 teleport lvl 64 => +3 teleport lvl 65 => +3 teleport lvl 66 => +3 teleport lvl 67 => +1 teleport / +2 holy arrow (rest) lvl 68 => +3 holy arrow lvl 69 => +3 holy arrow lvl 70 => +3 holy arrow (11) _________________________________________________________________________ --Training place, Solo.-- lvl 32~34 train in ant tunnel 1 since you have fast spawn rate here. The best will be 1 hit with magic claw and maybe 1 heal to finish tham. lvl 35~51 do the ludibrium party quest whitch will give you the fast exp. Else you can kill Chronos or Master chronos and maybe get some shield :) lvl 52~60 ZOMBIE LUMPINS PWN! you can get very fast lvls if you train in the zombie lumpin tree near ellinia. At lvl 55 i get around 1 lvl each 2/3 hours here! And the dolls sell nice to. Specific map: Hidden Street: Tree Dungeon, Monkey Forest II lvl 51~70 You can kill zombies with your heal, wraith will be even better. lvl 60~70 Deeper into toy factory, Soul teddy's, Death Teddys _________________________________________________________________________ --Training place, Party.-- lvl 32~34 train in ant tunnel 1 since you have fast spawn rate here. The best will be 1 hit with magic claw and maybe 1 heal to finish them. lvl 35~51 do the ludibrium party quest whitch will give you the fastest exp. Since every party needs a cleric, it will be not to hard to find your self a party. lvl 52~60 Zombie lumpins or Wraith lvl 60~70 Maybe party at maci or cargo (not really much experience in party training places) _________________________________________________________________________ --Equipment.-- Since your a cleric and heal yourself you will need the best weapon availeble but for the armor a would skip some parts like the chaos/(female lvl 33 armor) i dunno name lolz. _________________________________________________________________________ --About Holy Arrow.-- Personaly i think holy arrow is a waste of skill points, althought there might be people who like it and want to learn it. I think the skill points can better go to other skills, like bless and invinceble. You can train with holy arrow, but you will train with heal faster. Holy arrow is more for like having some fun sometimes but if you wanna be strong, dont spend any skill points but the once you got left. So i have in all my cleric guides holy arrow left at 11 at the end. This is my personal opinion, feel free to ignore it :) _________________________________________________________________________ --Become Priest.-- When your lvl 70, go to your instructor in El Nath, she will send you to grandel where you got the 1st and 2nd job to. Afer you talked to him, make sure you have enough potions and go to zumbie lumpins, continue a couple maps to the right until you see a portal in the right upper corner. Go in there and you will have to fight a small version of grandel and he sommons tauromacki's. After you killed him go to grandel and than go back to El Nath. After you talked to your job instructor in El Nath you will need 1 dark crystal (you need more if you awnser questions wrong). Go to sharp cliff II and enter a door up there, here you will need to awnser question, thay are veryhard and make sure you have hidden-street open. now go back to your instructor and he will reward you will a skill point. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ -------------------------Now that your a Priest------------------------- ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ --Stats.-- Still keep your luk high enough that you can wear your equipment, try to get as high int as possible you can do this by getting +int armors and earrings etc. ________________________________________________________________________ --Solo Priest Skill Tree.-- lvl 70 => +1 Shining Ray lvl 71 => +2 Shining Ray / +1 dispel lvl 72 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 73 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 74 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 75 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 76 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 77 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 78 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 79 => +3 Shining Ray lvl 80 => +3 Shining Ray (max 30) lvl 81 => +2 dispel / +1 Holy Symbol lvl 82 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 83 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 84 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 85 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 86 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 87 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 88 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 89 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 90 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 91 => +2 Holy Symbol (max 30) / +1 mystic door (End at 1) lvl 92 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 93 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 94 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 95 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 96 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 97 => +3 elemental resistance lvl 98 => +2 elemental resistance (max 20) / +1 Summon Dragon lvl 99 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 100 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 101 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 102 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 103 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 104 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 105 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 106 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 107 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 108 => +2 Summon Dragon (max 30) / +1 doom lvl 109 => +3 doom lvl 110 => +3 doom lvl 111 => +3 doom lvl 112 => +3 doom lvl 113 => +3 doom lvl 114 => +3 doom lvl 115 => +3 doom lvl 116 => +3 doom lvl 117 => +3 doom lvl 118 => +2 doom (max 30) / +1 dispel lvl 119 => +3 dispel lvl 120 => +3 dispel (End at 10) I recommend this build, it's good for solo and party. ________________________________________________________________________ --Party priest Skill Tree.-- lvl 70 => +1 Shining Ray (End at 1) lvl 71 => +3 dispel lvl 72 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 73 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 74 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 75 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 76 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 77 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 78 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 79 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 80 => +3 Holy Symbol lvl 81 => +3 Holy Symbol (max 30) lvl 82 => +1 Mystic door / +2 dispel lvl 83 => +3 dispel lvl 84 => +3 dispel lvl 85 => +3 dispel lvl 86 => +3 dispel lvl 87 => +3 dispel (max 20) lvl 88 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 89 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 90 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 91 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 92 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 93 => +3 Elemental Resistance lvl 94 => +2 Elemental Resistance (max 20) / +1 Doom lvl 95 => +3 Doom lvl 96 => +3 Doom lvl 97 => +3 Doom lvl 98 => +3 Doom lvl 99 => +3 Doom lvl 100 => +3 Doom lvl 101 => +3 Doom lvl 102 => +3 Doom lvl 103 => +3 Doom lvl 104 => +2 Doom (max 30) / +1 Summon Dragon lvl 105 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 106 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 107 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 108 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 109 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 110 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 111 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 112 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 113 => +3 Summon Dragon lvl 114 => +2 Summon Dragon (max 30) / +1 Mystic door lvl 115 => +3 Mystic door lvl 116 => +3 Mystic door lvl 117 => +3 Mystic door lvl 118 => +3 Mystic door lvl 119 => +3 Mystic door lvl 120 => +3 Mystic door (max 20) This build is kinda variable, you can choose to max doom or summon dragon first before you max elemental resistence, or you could choose to max shining ray instead of maxing summon dragon or doom. Mystic door is also not really required. This all depends on your personal opinion in how far you want to be a party priest or a solo priest. (This build is hardcore party priest, i do not recommend it since its crap levelling without party.) If i would want to be somewhere between party/solo priest I would personaly do the next: in short: - Holy symbol (max) - Shining ray (max) - Dispel (max) - Elemental (resisance max) - Summon Dragon - Doom - Rest of skill points (if you have any left) on mystic door.
