    UPDATED: Lv125 Cap, Added Combos, Updated Skills.
    Build difficulty: 4/5 ~ Takes a while to understand how to compensate dmg due to lack of int.
    DPS rating: 2/5 ~ Depends on gear.
    Gear cost: 3/5 ~ Can range from cheap gear to expensive gear.
    Utility: 4/5 ~ Can be used for refining, farming or even boss runs!


    Full LUK Refiner + Farmer + Boss runner Build
    ~ Up to 47.5% Drop Rate (Base 35.5% Drop Rate) ~

    Hello everyone, this is my first time creating a guide so please go easy on me. Thank you. ^^ ORZ


    At first, the reason I wanted to make a LUK Character was to have a better chance at refining my equipment to +A +S (which requires a full LUK Character based on my research). However, I felt that it would be kind of wasted if this character could only be used for refining. As we all know, LUK does play a part in drop rate. Therefore, since NC is always in a pretty high demand, making the character do decent damage while farming those Nightmare Roars became my priority. I also want the character to be able to perform somewhat decently in lower level boss runs, making it the perfect character to farm for materials.

    Besides that, I always have bad luck in boss runs and xtals and farming materials so I hope this character will help me in that too.

    Because this character is full LUK, equipment plays an important part in the amount of magic damage this character does is low compared to 3:2 INT:LUK farming mages or DPS Mages. With the equipment use, I will aim to make sure that you can 1-2hit Nightmare Roars so that farming in a party will also not be much of an issue. As I am not rich in spinas, I will also make sure that the equipment will be as cheap as possible but still providing decent INT+ for decent damage.


    Full LUK Refine Farmer
    [Refiner + Farmer + Boss Runner - Mainly MD but switch to Staff + Shield during boss runs]
    LUK: 255 & INT: 82

    Total Skill Points: 216/186
    Essential Skills: 64sp
    Others: 152sp
    You are free to distribute your skill points amongst skills you deem fit. No hard and fast rule here :)

    Magic Lv3 (52sp + 13sp)
    Arrows ~ 5
    Javelin ~ 5
    Lances ~ 5

    Impact ~ 7 - 10
    * At level 7, impact is instant cast so it depends on whether you want to put more skill points into this skill for higher tumble rate.

    Wall ~ 5
    Blast ~ 5
    Storm ~ 10

    Magic Mastery ~ 10
    MP Charge ~ 10

    Survival Lv2 (10sp + 20sp)

    Short Rest ~ 5
    MP Boost ~ 10


    Blacksmith Lv3 (2sp + 38sp)
    Refine Equipment ~ 1 - 10
    * As pointed out by @George and some other players, getting Refine Equipment at Lvl 1 does not affect the degradation rate. So it is up to you if you want to put skills in other places.
    Mid-Class Refinement ~ 10
    High-Class Refinement ~ 10

    Process Materials ~ 1 - 10
    * If you do a lot of farming, I will suggest Lvl 10 for more material points.

    Life Recovery ~ 5
    Brave Aura ~ 10

    * Enhances ATK and weapon performance while decreasing Accuracy Rate. Effect disappears when you receive damage.

    Shield Mastery ~ 5
    Shield Bash ~ 5+
    Shield Cannon ~ 1+
    Protection ~ 10
    Aegis ~ 5+


    Priest Lv2 (1sp)
    Holy Fist ~ 1
    * Only for combo purposes for boss runs

    Battle Lv3 (30sp)
    Magic Up ~ 10
    * Increases MATK.
    Concentrate ~ 5
    Desperate Resist ~ 5
    Increased Energy ~ 10

    * Further increases MATK.

    Combo

    Farming Combo
    Insuto (Impact + Storm)
    {150% Storm Damage}
    Impact > Storm (smite) > MP Charge (swift)
    [MP: 400 / CP: 4]
    Tansuto (Storm Only)
    Storm > MP Charge (swift)
    [MP: 400 / CP: 2]

    Boss Runs Combo
    Infinite Magic Stun Combo
    {130% Storm Damage}
    Arrows > Javelin (save) > Shield Bash/Cannon (cons) > Impact (cons) > Storm (smite) > Holy Fist (cons)
    [MP: 100 / CP: 10]

    * This combo is reference from @Precaria Angelus Mage Guide which is very versatile guide. You can check her guide if you need more ideas for Boss Combos.
    Equipment
    • As this is supposed to be a 'cheap' mage, I will include cheap & expensive options for equipment.
    • If you have your own personal starter, it will make things alot easier. Else, you can visit my shop ^^
    • Because this is a Full LUK Mage, we need to focus more on INT+ as INT+% gives less benefit.

    For farming Nightmare Roars (NC) & Cassy (Mana Points).
    Note: Maximum pot for MD is 42~45, so 42pot Success Rate is 86%, 45pot Success Rate is 90%

    Depending on how you mix and match your gear, and what you choose to focus on your Xtals ^^
    I don't
    really know how to calculate the MATK so if so kind soul can help me with it.. Please <3

    I haven't got the chance to test this build at level cap yet but I will update my progress as I go along. This guide might not be as thorough enough and might not have alot of research done but I have try my best to make it as good as possible :D. I hope my guide will be useful for people looking for a Full LUK Mage that also has decent MATK.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and hope it will be fun for everybody! ^^

    You mean smith skill? TEC does not affect success rate at +A +S so by using LUK rate of degradation is very low so by spamming cheap ores, +A +S can be obtained.
    This was originally meant to be a LUK Refiner but by incorporating mage skills, I am making the character more useful.

    First of all, i'd like to appreciate your guide for building luk mage, but at the same time, i had some questions in my mind,
    .
    Is there a need to make all refine skills up to lvl 10?
    why dont we just only learn Refine Equipment to lvl 1?
    Does it reduce the degradation rates?
    .
    .
    Also, I got an important news. From recent updates, every talisman III (magic, muscle, and dex) has been retracted from BS NPC recipes...

    That's a good point. I believe Refine Equipment increase success rate by a certain amount, not sure how much tho. It doesn't specify if the degradation rate will reduce. I will try to test out a character to see how it works out when I have time. :D Thanks.

    And that talisman is useful T_T I will take a look and update this thread.

    Edit: I was wrong. I forgot that I checked the recipe with my new acc, which hadn't gone to lvl cap. The talisman recipe is still available ^^

    LOLL! hematite to +E
    I guess refine lvl 10 works for lower levels whereas at higher levels it does not really matter. Maybe I should try doing +B with hematite LOL
