    i finally found my calling. i have played 2 mages before but not really happy. I think this build what i really want, tanker pewpew mage, rather than pewpew run run died mage.
    but i really need your opinion especially about equipment. especially with the new anniv dress coming.
    currently i am using :
    staff: devil's staff (int+7%, matk+7%, int+10 with evil crystal beast Xtal)
    MD: empress soul (int+7%, matk+7%, int+6 with excavated golem Xtal)
    Shield : NPC craft cross shield
    Arm: Killer coat (int+7%, matk+7% with int+2 Xtal)
    Add: Monocle with ancient empress Xtal
    Spec: Philosopher's ring with Ooze Xtal.

    Now i crafted a 1 slotted anniv dress which gives hp+900 and mp+300, and i have a 2 slotted garb with (matk+4%, int+7%).
    if i use the anniv dress (xtal still empty), i can use the monocle. but if i use killer coat i have to use ear muff due to lack of MP.
    the point is: please help me with the equipment, are those enough? is my 1slot anniv dress any useful? if i should use my 2slotted garb, what xtal should i use?
    reallyyy need your help, i am having dilemma and now i cant lvling without spending much time looking at board for alternative equipments, and i dont want to restart all over again.
    appreciate your feedbacks. thanks

    Change your int+2 to mp+150.
    +300philo ring,+300mp boost and +150mp that will be fine.
    And save your spina for 2s garb and better weapon.^^

    So xtall isnt necesserily boss xtal (boss roga etc)?. I havent upgrade the +mp skill tho, that could be useful.
    Also i have that 2s garb, what xtall should i use? I was thinking about roga or iconos maybe lols.
    Also for better weapon, what kind of weap u recommend (and what xtal in it)? i thought my staff with the ++stats is enough.
    I also saw that "lapin the necro" xtall, is it good? I dont understand the add magic 100% part.

    I think your mi7%(1slot) is better than 2s(m4%i7%).
    You can put Jade/igris/roga for your mi7%. Well if you can afford 2s mi7% much better for iconos(hp) and Jade/ifris*(new xta)forgot the name for mana.and get mp boost. check the 1st page for more details.^^

    nice, thanks. maybe if i can find to compensate the difference m4% with certain xtall and get another stats that comes with the xtall is good. but expected to spend lots of spina tho haha..
    i think i will do some math first, especially with the spina costs, to find best alternative.
    also with the weapon, why in this and previous build also recommend ice staff frigus? isnt ice ele weak against ice mob, thus i need to find several staffs.

    Just use your mi7%. For xta, cheap is mp150,hp400 or buy aranea for mp200&hp400. Use this till you can afford mi7% 2s.
    For staff, better for anniv V(mi7%i+13) atleast refine B.for xta, mp150/ecb/imitacia.

    Thanks guys, really helpful. So wont be needing high mp pool. Now with 800mp is ok for farming but havent test it vs bosses.
    Already got the staff with required stats as mentioned above but still refine E, gotta do some work. Next homework is to find the suitable armor.
    Damage with staff isnt bad, last night i tested storm(with staff) vs a dw to a bnut, both equal dmg 4k. I didnt know what skill he used tho and i'm lvl 68 he's 93 ^^
    Anyway, nice build.

    Lol
    The long range +2% from scrader does NOT work for storm, arrows or wall.
    So you are having -20% physical resistance for just some HP and +3% matk.
    Why use that when nure gives exactly same amount of matk but with less harmful nega. Cspd nega can easily be overcome by a little dex as well.

    Thats the worst pay off especially if you are a shield mage.
    This build is supposed to be tanky and be able to solo many bosses, physical resistance-20% means 20% overall increase in physical damage taken.
    If anything the xta should be used by archers not mages.

    @SirEgg will put this in the description when he is revived as its been asked frequently.

    @mayam how much do you think a sage staff with int+7% matk+7% and int+11/12 slotted should cost? I was getting one for 888k is that good?

    Depends on the weapon atk, if its anniv V then yeah its good enough tho could go lower as int+13 possible too I think

    What about refinement? How does that affect the price? (Also I was getting some sage staffs for a bit lower price but they had mp +150 Crysta in them)

    If they are not anniv or outdated like sage staff look out for cheap +B or +C staffs that you can get as people will try to get rid of them for cheap to buy anniv staffs.

    i can say i am actually happy with this build. although still lvl 70 but until empress MQ I always use my previous mage and always had difficulties against bosses. last night i tested with this one, i can survive against 2 event after empress, and barely had any difficulties with mob quest.
    one question, i think in one post mentioned that def isnt really necessary. but i test against tortuga and it hit me 200 something, without high hp that would be disaster.

    *Some updates*
    • MP boost is now entirely optional as I've managed to cap my mp to 2k without pot, eventually that would give us free 12-15 sp which we could use for other skills.
    • I've now standardized the combos into 3 different combos ,to which they have their own purpose, which we could squeeze in for the whole 20cp.
