Quest Reward(s): Jobchange to Wizard

1. Head to the Geffen tower in the middle of Geffen, and proceed to the top floor to talk to the Wizard Guildsman.

2. Mages that are between Job Levels 40 and 49 will have to collect items from one of the following sets:

Set Items
Set 1 10 Red Gemstone, 10 Blue Gemstone, 10 Yellow Gemstone
Set 2 5 Crystal Blue, 5 Green Live, 5 Red Blood, 5 Wind of Verdure

3. The second test involves answering questions. Currently, there are 3 different sets.

Set 1
The skill not necessary to learn Fire Wall is [Napalm Beat] level 4.
Casting Frost Diver on a monster changes its attribute to Water.
Mastering Napalm Beat makes the skill yield 1.7 times MATK.
A Red Gemstone is required for casting Stone Curse.
The skill not needed to learn Safety Wall is Increase SP Recovery level 6.
Without the INT bonus, 21 SP will be recovered every 10 seconds with Increase SP Recovery level 7.
Using Energy Coat with 50% remaining SP, 2% SP is used per hit and the damage is reduced by 18%.
Safety Wall level 6 consumes 35 SP and blocks 7 attacks.
Thunderstorm level 10 consumes 74 SP.
The most useful skill for training in Byalan dungeon is Lightning Bolt.
Set 2
Slotted Guards can be obtained from Pupas.

Roda Frogs cannot be Cute Pets.
Goblin (Mace) is weak against a Fire attribute attack.

Ghostring is of different species when compared to others.
Deviace is not an Undead monster.
Set 3
The most important stat for a Mage is INT.
Earth does not have a "bolt" type attack.
"Good at selling stuff" is not something that would relate to a Mage.
Geffen is the town of the Mages.
Soldier Andre card has nothing to do with INT.
Compared to other job classes, the Mage is good at magic skills.
INT bonus at job level 40 is +5 for a Mage.
A Cap cannot be equipped by Mages.
The catalyst when making the Mage test solution 3 is a Blue Gemstone.
Magnolia card is irrelevant to magic.

4. To proceed, talk to Gloomy Wizard in the corner of the room who will teleport you to a waiting area. When ready, enter the chatroom to wait your turn to take the test. Only one player can be in this part of the test at the same time.

5. The next segment requires fighting through 3 rooms of monsters. Participants have 3 minutes to clear each room. If you die or run out of times, you will fail and need to retake the test.

Note: If you are unable to pass this portion of the test, you can instead skip the test by making it to the water room's boss and failing five times. Once this is done, hand Gloomy Wizard a Worn Out Scroll to automatically pass.

Room Aggressive Monster(s) Cast Sensor Monster(s) Other Monster(s)
Room 1
(Water Room)

Builds

There are a large variety of builds in terms of skills. In terms of stats, however, there is freedom for originality besides using a melee build, which is unusual. Most Wizards have 99 DEX then varying levels of INT and VIT, depending on what their character has been built for.

Melee

Melee Wizards are rare and probably stem from the fact that they can use Berserk Potions and a Dagger of Counter (+90 CRIT). Additionally, Quagmire makes dodging and hitting monsters much easier. They are rare builds that are for fun more than for practical use.

PvM

These Wizards can level solo or, as they more commonly are, be joined by a Priest or an entire party. Generally, the Priest will mob up monsters, Heal themselves and use Suffragium on you, reducing the cast time of a single AoE skill - such as Storm Gust or Meteor Storm. If you're leveling solo, you'll need to learn how to use Vertical Fire Wall. Many builds go for more VIT and less INT, as seen in the WoE/PvP section.

PvP/WoE

In order to take part in WoE or even PvP, Wizards require VIT to avoid dying quickly and to resist Status Effects. Safety Wall, Stone Curse, Fire Bolt, and varying levels of Jupitel Thunder and Storm Gust are popular weapons for Wizards in PvP. In WoE, Storm Gust and Meteor Storm are mainly used in precasts. Leftover stat points are dumped into STR for the single purpose to raise the Weight Limit. This can also be considered upon reaching high VIT, where a Wizard might decide holding more potions is more advantageous than having higher HP or Status Effect resistance.

In PvP situations, try using Storm Gust level 1 to quickly freeze and scatter multiple targets.

Beware that opponents can easily resist Wizard skills with elemental armors and others (i.e. unfrozen) and MDEF. Players equipped with such can easily counter the damage from Storm Gust level 10. In these cases, try linking freezing techniques with Jupitel Thunder level 10 and Stone Curse with Fire Bolt level 10. Also, use various different elemental attacks if you suspect your opponent is switching armors to counter you. For example, if the damage of Jupitel Thunder is oddly low, the opponent may have equipped a Wind armor, so use Fire Bolt on them or an Earth attack instead.

Equipment

Top Headgears:

INT Gear:

  • Mage Hat (+2 INT, +150 SP)
  • Crown/Tiara (+2 INT)
  • Erudite Crown/Tiara (+3 INT)
  • Crown of Deceit[1] (+4 INT, -10% Casting Time Uses Mid headgear as well)
  • Erudite card (+2 INT

DEX Gear:

  • Apple of Archer (+3 DEX)
  • Ramen Hat (+4 DEX, Kafra Shop item)
  • Isilla carded headgear

INT & DEX Gear:

  • Erudite Ulle's Cap (+2 INT with Elder Willow Card, +2 DEX, +1 AGI)

Mid Headgears:

  • Dark Blinker (grants immunity to blind, +2% stun resistance)
  • Blinker (grants immunity to blind)
  • Opera Mask (+2 DEF, occupies middle and lower headgear slots)
  • Alarm Mask (+2 DEF, +50% blind resistance, occupies middle and lower headgear slots)
  • Robo Eyes (+1 DEX, Kafra Shop item)
  • Sigrun's Wing (+1 INT)

Lower Headgears:

  • Pipe/Cigarette (-3% damage from Insect monsters)
  • Romantic Flower/Romantic Leaf (-3% damage from Plant monsters)
  • Gangster Mask (+15% silence resistance)
  • Well-Chewed Pencil (+2 DEX)

Right Hand:

Whatever is chosen to wield in the right hand, it should always be a rod-type weapon, as they all provide +15% MATK.

INT Rods: (If INT is greater than DEX)

  • Survivors Rod (INT version): +2 INT, +300 HP
  • Dextrous Survivors Rod (Drops card, INT version): +3 INT, +1 DEX, +400 HP
  • Double Dexterous Arc Wand (two Drops cards): +3 INT, +2 DEX
  • Evil Bone Wand, (+4 int)
  • Warlock's Magic Wand (Tierra): +4 INT, +3 DEX, bypasses 25% of Demi-Human's MDEF, 5% Stun chance upon magical attack
  • Warlock's Battle Wand (Flavius): +3 INT, +3 DEX, increases magical damage to Demi-Humans by 15%, 5% Stun chance upon magical attack

DEX Rods: (If DEX is greater than INT)

  • Survivor's Rod (DEX version): +2 DEX, +300 HP
  • Dexterous Survivor's Rod (Drops card, DEX version): +4 DEX, +400 HP
  • Triple Dexterous Staff (three Drops cards): +2 INT, +3 DEX
  • Quadruple Dexterous Rod (four Drops cards): +4 DEX

More DEX is usually better, but sometimes getting more INT to attain the next MATK bonus (occurring every 5 and 7 points of INT) is more desirable. The Staff [3] and Arc Wand [2] provide the most, although mixed, stat points for non-battle ground items.

The slotted Survivors Rods are desirable Wizard weapons. In the INT variant, one stat point is sacrificed for 400 HP. The DEX version is basically a Quadruple Dexterous Rod with an extra 400 HP. The non-slotted Survivors Rods are a viable alternative for lower-level Mages and Wizards, but they do not offer enough stat points for higher-level Wizards.

Left Hand:

  • Guard[1] (+3 DEF)
  • Valkyrja Shield[1] (+3 DEF, +5 MDEF, -20% from fire, water, shadow, and undead elements)
  • Magic Bible Vol1[1] (+3 MDEF, +2 INT, 10% to stun when receiving physical damage)
  • Memory Book[0] or [1] (+3 DEF, +2 MDEF, +1 INT, Compound bonus with Monocle and Pocket Watch: +7% MATK, +15% HP & SP Regen)
  • Stone Buckler[1] (+3 DEF, -5% damage from [Large] monsters, Compound bonus with Odin's Blessing [1] and Magni's Cap: +2 STR, +5 DEF, +5 MDEF)

The player should have multiple shields with "racial cards" - cards that resist respective races by 30%. For example, if they were to level in High Orcs or enter a PvP area, they should equip a Cranial Shield (Thara Frog Card) to reduce damage received from Demi-Humans (i.e. High Orcs or other players) by 30%.

While racial guards are vital, it may be difficult to acquire all of the necessary ones immediately. Some players choose to get a Rigid Guard (Thiefbug Egg card, +400 HP) for use in the places they do not yet have the appropriate racial guard for.

Armor:

Equippable Armor:

  • Coat/Slotted Coat: +5 DEF
  • Mage Coat: +5 DEF, +5 MDEF, +1 INT, +1 SP
  • Slotted Mink Coat: +6 DEF, very heavy
  • Robe of Cast: +5 DEF, Cast Delay -3%
  • Glittering Jacket[1]: +7 DEF,+5 MDEF, Adds a 3% chance of causing Blind status to enemies with each attack

Garment:

  • Morpheus Shawl (For MvP) Ragamuffin Manteau (for WoE)
  • Muffler with Element Resistance Cards

Ranged Attacks + Neutral : Noxious Card

Neutral: Raydric

Water: Marse Card

Wind: Dustiness Card

Fire: Jack Card

Earth: Hode Card

Shoes:

  • Soul-Enchanted Shoes (Sohee card)
  • Shoes of Witch (Eggyra card)
  • +9/10 Superior Shoes (Antique Firelock card)
  • Fledged Shoes (Verit Card)

Accessories: Some accessories that are helpful in leveling or PvP situations.

Belt[1], Clip[1] (+10 SP), Nile Rose[1] (+10 HP) have no level requirement, unlike other slotted accessories.

  • Healing Clip (Vitata Card) (Not on iRO Valkyrie server)
