    holy arrow is useless compared to level 1 of shining ray of 3rd job, just
    concentrate on leveling till 3rd job. just few levels away. shining ray
    level 1 alone is way more better than holy arrow maxed !! just imagine u r
    hitting a decent range of dark monster at once and all those damages at an
    expense of few MP and less time taken to kill them all using shining ray
    compared to holy arrow...

    --- 4.1 Ice/Lighting Mage Skills

    magic composition will help getting rich faster with the high damage able to be
    applied by being luckless mage but will be causing other skills to be delayed
    drastically. therefore as luckless concentrates on damage i decided to go for
    thunder spear maximizing its damage with element amplification and then boost its
    speed +2 at lvl 11, then max other skills... ignoring partial resistance... why
    will a ice/lighting mage goes leveling at a place where the all the ice/lighting
    based monsters are all around...

    magic composition will help getting rich faster with the high damage able to be
    applied by being luckless mage but will be causing other skills to be delayed
    dractically. therefore as luckless concentrates on damage i decided to go for
    magic composition maximizing its damage with element amplification and then boost
    its speed +2 at lvl 11, then max other skills... ignoring partial resistance...
    why will a fire/poison mage goes leveling at a place where the all the fire/poison
    based monsters are all around.. later with both poison myst and explosion maxed...
    able to leveling with higher level mobs by casting poison myst at lower level climb
    up to next level casting poison myst again then down to the lower lever all the
    mobs should be poisoned to very low hp and cast explosion clearing the lower lever
    goes up does the same. continuing the cycle not only earn a lot of exp but also
    speed up chances of getting rare items. only applicable on hunting grounds that
    have upper and lower deck and oh... with one condition that no other people
    around that may KS.

    --- 6.0 ACCURACY ISSUES --------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    mage all depend on magic attack and has no usage of AP such as STR, DEX and LUK. but due
    to the need to be able to equip magician equipments their might be some requirements
    that needed AP to be placed for STR, DEX and LUK.

    --- 6.1 Abilities

    Strength (STR) has a major effect on melee attacks, as well as somewhat affecting a
    bowman's ranged attacks and a thief's dagger and throwing star attacks.

    Dexterity (DEX) increases accuracy at the rate of 3 every 4 DEX points and avoidability
    at the rate of 1 every 4 DEX points. It has a minor effect in most melee damage except
    for bowmen who use it in place of Strength for damage.

    Intelligence (INT) increases magic attack, which determines spell accuracy and spell
    damage. It also increases magic defence.

    Luck (LUK) increases avoidability at the rate of 1 every 3 LUK points and accuracy at
    the rate of 1 every 2 LUK points. It also has a major effect on a thief's dagger and
    throwing star attacks. Some players believe that LUK increases the drop rate of items,
    however, this is not true. Also, when one dies, depending on the amount of LUK one has,
    the extent of EXP loss is lessened. Other job advancments e.g Bowman and Warrior do
    not require LUK whereas Thieves and Mages do. The most % exp can be lost with a good
    amount of LUK establishes will be 5% loss of experience.

    --- 6.2 Hands is Spell Accuracy

    luckless mage having higher damage will allow the ability to hit higher level monster
    but these brings up another issue about whether a luckless mage will be able to hit or
    miss the higher level monster.

    with each AP placed to INT obviously will determine the level of magic attack, spell
    accuracy, overall spell damage and also magic defence. In the character stat window,
    click on the green button labelled detail on the bottom right. break down details on
    Attack, Weapon Defence, Magic, Magic Defence, Accuracy, Avoidability, Hands, Speed
    and Jump will be shown. if u observe closely on each AP u applied on INT the Magic,
    Magic Defence and Hands values will be raised. obviously Magic is Magic Attack value
    and Magic Defence is the value of Defence against Magical Attacks. so this leaves Hands
    a question mark, i personally thinks its the spell accuracy (correct me if im wrong).

    therefore, i conclude with each AP applied on INT it increases spell accuracy too
    and the accuracy value are for melee, arrows and throwing stars. luckless mage therefore
    not only gain more higher damage but at the same time gain more magic defence plus
    spell accuracy against higher level monsters.

    --- 7.0 COMPARISON OF EQUIPS ---------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    it's my personal views and judgements... if u think it's irrelevant and nonsense claims
    then pls stop here. else for readers that wish this guide can convince them to go for a
    luckless mage pls do read on...

    With the availability of GACHA common items !!!
    (e.g. yellow glove, yellow eigen, black umbrella and oh yeah those curse scrolls....)

    ALL LUCKLESS MAGE ARE AT ADVANTAGE !!!

    below i made a simple comparison choosing to compare a level 88 luckless mage with a
    level 88 luck mage with the best staff (meso wise worth and widely available) to a
    luck mage that is Magicodar. others are Pyogo Mushroom and Dimon Wand which
    are too rare and not to mention too extremely expensive. luckless mage best weapon is
    black umbrella which it's required level to equip is just level 70.

    equips for luck mage is not possible to godly scroll them... as it is expensive and rare.
    plus sooner or later after next few levels, new equips will tempt u to change... therefore
    we will compare luckless mage with luck mage both with clean equips...

    ATTN: all equips listed are clean to give a clearer cut comparison between the two builds.

    --- 7.1 LEVEL 88 LUCKLESS MAGE

    COMMON EQUIPS:
    yellow glove INT +3
    black umbrella MATK 91

    Str: 4+2 (6)
    Dex: 4+8 (12)
    Int: 447+14 (461)
    Luk: 5+5 (10)

    Thunder Spear: Level 30: MP -24; Basic attack 170, mastery 60%

    Minimum Damage: 2550
    Maximum Damage: 4250

    --- 7.2 LEVEL 88 LUCK MAGE

    REQ. LUK EQUIPS:
    magicodar MATK 103 INT +1
    dark galaxy INT +5
    Black Oriental Fury Coat INT +6 LUK +3

    Maximum Damage: {[{MAG * 0.8) + (LUK/4)]/18} * Spell Magic Attack
    MAG = TOTAL INT (387) + MATK (112)
    MAG = 499

    Thunder Spear: Level 30: MP -24; Basic attack 170, mastery 60%

    Minimum Damage: 2398 < still lower than luckless mage Minimum Damage: 2550
    Maximum Damage: 3996 < still lower than luckless mage Maximum Damage: 4250

    obviously even comparing a luck mage to a luckless mage with disadvantage of equipment
    difference till level 88 of super high level magician equipment. luck mage still
    losses on the min and max damage. and to think that it is possible to have a godly
    scrolled equip that a luckless mage can use (e.g. level 30 blue sauna robe to INT +35)
    from level 30 till level 88. SUPER WORTH IT !!! not to mention have all yellow glove
    INT +3, black bandana INT +3, palette +3 etc. godly scrolled. all these are options
    to be godly scrolled and used for a long long time until new better common equips become
    available.it is good as u do not need to keep changing equip therefore have only option
    to godly scroll them !! LUCKLESS MAGE RULESSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    --- 9.0 FAQ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: are those millions millions meso worth equip are only average scrolled?
    A: yes, as int scrolls are expensive and the amount of mage makes demand high.

    Q: how in the world can i get that much meso for those luckless mage equips?
    A: it's like getting ur lvl200 equips at lvl10 tat's why it seems difficult, earn more
    from buy low sell high, selling drops, completing quests...

    Q: isnt that just few damages difference?
    A: do consider the expenses to keep changing equips and the high damage at earlier
    levels which ease leveling. plus saving time on buy/sell equips or hunting for them
    at places not suited for ur element to go (e.g. fire mage hitting fire boar?). And
    that few damage difference is only when reached level 88. at earlier levels i assure
    u that ur damage will be impressively HIGH !!

    Q: i can always godly scroll those high level magician equip and resell them later, so?
    A: godly scrolled items is more possible on cheaper equips such as sauna robe. as u can
    buy few sauna robe and start scrolling, breaking, failing etc. on them. plus for
    luck mage u need to start the whole process of scrolling each time when u get the
    new set of equips at higher level.

    Q: so with that high damage at low level that can easily 1 hit KO high level monsters
    won't luckless mage keep miss and miss while hitting high level monsters?
    A: yeah good question... i added a special accuracy issues section. pls refer top.

    Q: ok there are always many Qs... feel free to sent them to kenson@myself.com, if it's
    worth answering i'll kindly reply, else silly Qs (e.g. what is MP?) it get trashed.

    --- 10.0 PROS & CONS -----------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    15 PROS:

    1. the rewards for the effort are TOTALLY 2 THUMBS UP!!
    2. having a lot more min damage & max damage
    3. easily out damage any other normal same level mage with magician equips
    4. save tons of mesos by sticking to the same piece of equipment
    5. no need to keep changing expensive mage equips (not to mention those prefect stat)
    6. can totally invest on godly scroll "a use for life" equip (e.g. yellow glove int +3)
    7. THE WHOLE IDEA OF LUCKLESS MAGE JUST SAVES MESOS, SAVE TIME, SAVE EFFORT...
    8. use that mesos on MP pots no resting... LEVEL UP FASTER !!!
    9. use that buy/sell time on leveling... LEVEL UP FASTER !!!
    10. use that extra effort on leveling... LEVEL UP FASTER !!!
    11. 1 hit KO high level & high exp monsters... LEVEL UP FASTER !!!
    12. impress others with super high damage at earlier level and makes them drop their jaw
    13. with all the time used on leveling... get rich faster with drops
    14. even being level low but leveling at places with many high level peoples, be proud
    15. NO MORE FUSS of changing equips, scrolling them, selling them, finding scrolls,
    hunting for equips, prefect stat equips, repeating visit to free market, hunting at
    odd places, wasting time buy/sell, wasting time hunting, wasting time scrolling....

    3 CONS:

    1. the same old boring set of equips
    2. less DEF less LUCK therefore easier dies and more exp % lost when dies
    (luckless mage give high damage so aim 1 hit KO monsters, try be more pro!)
    (no one ask u to keep dying and do use that teleport-casting or hit at safe range)
    3. cant think of any other..... oh oh yes... and the time used to roll that stupid dice...
    BAH!!! JUST GET YOURSELF A LUCKLESS MAGE !!!!!!!!!! NO REGRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's 15:3 therefore what do u have to lose be a LUCKLESS MAGE today !! Just one time that
    u just need to get ur hands dirty on buying, risking, scrolling and after getting a
    godly scrolled prefect stat piece of equip... after that headache and it's once and for
    all !! and impress others with that super high damage you can do without any of those
    expensive magician equipments ;P
