Need help wit gearing Luk Mage

Looking for a build thats not to expensive, but ups my overall dps/ castspeed.

Right now i have the following.
Lil Empress staff(boss drop) no xtal
Mischeavious magic book no xtal
NS Twilight Dress(gonna farm Heaven feather garb for upgrade)
Dont have Add gear atm
Dark Talisman Magic (Lalvada)

Really need help on Add gear, xtals, and if my Staffs are OK. I should probably get a 4th anniv staff with custom stats?
And for Magic Device Ive been hunting down a Super Costero and the one from Yashiros event with +20% vs all elements

 

First of all, define "too expensive"...

Spoiler: Staff & xtals

Queen Potum STF (event)
4th Anniv STF IX: im7% int14 preferably
Use: Finstern; Imitacia (4.6m total), Neo Maton Sword (2.4m total), Usasama II; Usasama I (1.5m total), Mozto Machina; Demon's Gate (2.7m total), Shampy; ECB (1.9m total)
Warning: Usasama has MaxHP-15%, Shampy has MDEF-18%

Spoiler: Armor & xtals

Heaven Feather Garb (boss)
Anniversary Festive Garb/Heaven Feather Garb/Soldier Armor/Lil Empress (DEF doesn't really matter, but potential does): im7% (optional aggro-10%, but it makes it more expensive)
Use: Iron Empress (1m total), Noeliel(green; 3m)
Warning: Iron Empress has MaxMP-300

Spoiler: Additional Gear

Pom Sheep Ribbon
Stardust Earring
Magic Emblem
Sorcery Hat
(Basically any with at least MATK+6%... but NO RECOIL! You might kill yourself with Finale!)
Use: Ancient Empress II; Ancient Empress (2.4m total), Chocolate Ooze II; Chocolate Ooze (only MaxMP; 3.3m total), Gespenst II (only CSPD; 1.4m total)
Warning: Chocolate Ooze II has MaxHP-15%

Spoiler: Special

Philosopher's Ring
Machina Ring (2s!)
Use: Venena (3m total), Granny (500k total), (your Lalvada ok tho... I wouldn't be surprised if another upgrade came out)
Warning: Granny has CSPD-1000

I specifically took out xtals that cost more than 5m total or are not worth their price imo (Ornlarf series, Tuscog series, etc.)
Also, coryn.club is a very helpful site. The item search might be help with your purpose: http://coryn.club/itemsearch.php

 

This is exactly what i needed. Thank you

 

NP...
to be honest, a lot of the stuff can already be found in the Mage Class threads...
I just added on some more current price-tags to the xtals

 

I just dropped yashiro dad face, i think im gonna use it. 6% matk and 500csp. And no, not looking for strictly drops, but that Mom3 md looks nice because i dont wanna have a different md for each element.

 

Sweet stuff. Update on my gears.

4th Anniv staff IX (finstern xtal) +7% matk/int +14 int. Was able to stat myself with lvl 140 statter
Yashiro dad mask (Narumi hina xtal)
Dark Talisman magic (Lalvada)
Twilight dress (no slot)

My mage is looking good. Now time for the long and painful hunt of Heaven Feather Garb and Super Costero drops. Super rare I know, but i have 2 characters in 140 lvl range so death mushroom is perfect lvl range to farm for a while.

 

Try for mom md first. It's time restricted.

 

thats good advice... its in first collab 150 right? Just keep full breaking Mom?

And yeah, Costero is a B****
About 10 hours this week, 4 with droprate book, and im starting to feel why its so rare lmao.. But on a positive note, I got a slotted Heaven feather garb in like 2 hours

 

I am a fan of odd builds but for a decent luk farmer here is what I did and it works for me. It's relatively affordable. So u get magic book max magic conversion get a 4th anniv ix sword and or 1s( the higher the damage the better) stat it m. att 7% int 7%14 any md will do and just cap luk and the rest int. You'll see that build can farm very easily and depending on budget u can get arm with dame stats as sword as for ring machina ring is getting expensive of late so either wait or use a 1s ring that drops from the boar at the eb farming site and add a mp 250 xtal to it. That could hold u ftw. I used alot of mp 250 xtals when my spina was low. That's until better can be done. The most expensive thing here is the magic book but keep an eye out for boxes and good deals if it's out of your reach atm. The sword is only for farming for leveling player made anniv 4 with the same stat set up will be good

 

Omg. I had 10 extra SP, and really didnt have anything i wanted to put it into. So I just slapped it all into play dead to see how well it works.
Heaven Feather garb and lvl 10 play dead = 105 seconds revival time. It is absolutely amazing!
