Well i'm still kinda sad that i took a giant.

Why? o:

Giants melee is cray cray powerful, they can be just as good at magic as anyone else. And when gunner releases you'll have amazing range as well.

Should have made a human Sword'n'board guy with a venom sword.
I could also wear self made armor without 10 years of BS grinding BS.

It would take so much Commercing to get a Venom Sword. That's like, what, a million Ducats?

it's just that i think a human with a shield + 1h sword looks less stupid than a giant with a shield and 1h sword.
I just love how the venom sword looks but know that its junk for a giant since i can just grab a FAR better weapon for less ducats since giants have no problems with using a highlander claymore WITH a shield.

I really wish elves could use some two-handers, because they have a really limited weapon pool...

Fun fact: Romeo's Rapier is considered a two-hander, and can be wielded by elves. All of the two-handed enchants work on it, and supposedly it receives the smash bonus as well.

One million duckies isn't that hard to come by- just aim for something like 50-100k ducats a day. With a wagon and/or elephant, it might take two hours or so!

Apparently the White Dragon raid has been implemented. There's no info yet (not even a newspost), but.. it just spawned so evidently it exists.

Also last chance at some pets. I recall the Russian Cat is a pretty good inventory mule, I think.

This Sand Sculpture event seems interesting, I saw some swimwear in that prize list.

Me again, was thinking about a mage build and i came up with the following ranking order, TOTALLY disregarding AP :P, mainly based on damage increase and cp reasons:
all bolts
ice, fire, lightning mastery
ice spear
fusion bolt
fireball
thunder
magic mastery
Why i didnt go thunder, mainly because it adds too much cp from the start making things harder in the long run. Apply same reasoning to every other skill that seems misplaced :D
So what do you guys think?
Later edit: oh i think music should be squeezed there too, i just dont know where :D and so are other skills but excepting music i dont think they are a priority

How to Win Magic:
Firebolt r1
Icebolt rF
Ice Spear r1
Spend infinite money on repairing wands.

Seriously, firebolt and ice spear, or thunder.  Firebolt is a 1-cast high damage spell that causes instant knockdown.  Ice Spear and Thunder are both AOE magic that causes intense damage by stunning enemies for an extended time.

Then get Fireball rF so you can get Meteor when it arrives and just roflstomp the world.

You forgot fusion magic...fire/ice bolt...but...no it isn't infinite money repairing wands, at least not that I remember, they were expensive at first but you didn't use a wand on trash mobs.

Ah...thats right, its infinite money on repair if you keep meditation on while using it, meditation increase the rate of durability loss.

I had my inspiration from this guide http://www.mabinogiworld.com/showthread.php?16064-Steelra-s-Magic-Guide-The-Long-Road-Ahead but i still don't understand why she took mastery in all 3 bolts. Any reasons?
Later edit: i understand how fusion bolt works now... that explains the reason. Very versatile little spell definately worth it

UUhhh, can't sleep so post now.

Fusion bolt takes ALL the damage modifiers for bolts. Bolt strength of each bolt + Bolt Mastery + Elemental Mastery + Fusion Mastery

Those 3 bolts will be your bread and butter as a mage. Well mostly lightning and fire. You only need ice for fusion.

Meditation increases the loss of EVERYTHING but I never notice much difference on anything but the wands. You lose durability just by holding a weapon out and wearing your equipment.

Just don't attack with meditation on and you'll be fine.

Note: Natural durability loss is slow. Very slow. Like, you'd never notice it slow. I think if you multiplied it by five you might notice it. Maybe. So don't like, unequip gear while you afk unless you are super mega hard up for cash.

Also, I bring you dragon raid info!

Spoiler: Drops and such here (click to show/hide)

Rumor has it there's a ranged role in the white dragon fight, sniper! I have no idea if this is true. Hopefully it is!

No one hear seems to have considered the super-cheap, equally combat-efficient alternative: Fomor Wands!

Commerce may take a while to work up to the point of self-sufficiency, but once you get yourself a wagon along with an extra 50k ducats for future expenses, you're practically set- a much lower than what you might face when budgeting yourself gold, frankly. Not only does the expense in funny-money mitigate the drain on gold (which can be put to many a better use), but it comes out of a pool of currency that is relatively useless, barring a few practical accessories for VIP subscribers, the occasional novelty, and a couple of priceless long-term acquisitions if you are completely insane. :P

P.S.

Krisslanza,

If you're worried about looking cliche as an elven gunner, why not invest in a gamyu Robe to help you stand out?  ;D

Better list:

How to win magic:
Ice Spear r1
Spend infinite money on repairing wands.
Spend infinite money on getting potions to fuel your arcane trickery.

Reason: Ice Spear beats every single other spell hands down for all the things except maybe damage and knockdown against Mana Reflector r3 monsters.

Though you still want to pick up the bolt spells for their passive stat increases, and for using against random mobs :D
