A little About me in Maple
--------------------------
Hi there. My name is Charizard.You may call me Char or Eiko.
I play only in MapleSEA, Aquila on my
Current Fire Mage , Antorche. Nice to meet you if you are reading my
guide.Some you may ask why choose a mage, right?

Among the 4 jobs, here is the pros and cons of being a mage...

Pros
----
Can attack near and far
Can teleport n attack when the skill is forming
The Mage is the easiest to earn money very fast.
High attack at lvl 24+ onwards.
Have the highest MP of all classes.
Most popular Class
Easy to train and levels fast.
High Magic Defence.(Means that you receive less attack on you when special attacks are casted
on you by the monster.)
------------------------------------------------
Cons
----
Mage gear is quite expensive.
Lowest HP of all classes.
Hard to jump and attack together
Armours are the lowest defence of all classes
------------------------------------------------

Mages have 3 classes, you may choose to be a fire wizard, ice wizard or cleric.
Here are the pros and cons of being a fire mage compared to the rest of the wizards...

Pros
----
Their damage is higher than ice and cleric(at around levels 40 - 60)
Around level 50 - 60,meditation is not really needed since the attack is very high.

Cons
----
(In Aquila, Fire wizards are very uncommon. I had a rumour from a friend that in
Cassipeoia,90% of the wizards are fire wizards.)
Cannot attack multiple monsters at a time in 2nd job.
Training places are usually snapped up quite fast (eg. Jr Yeti map)
Have to on magic guard when training most of the time (unlike cleric)
Waste about 4 times more MP pot than HP pot when training with magic guard.

----------------------------------------------------------

You are only allowed to choose 1 job so please do decide carefully
as you dont want to regret wasting your time training, do you? =)

====================================================================
Beginning
---------
Choose your world and click the button, Create a character . choose
your own character and name then get on with the dice roll.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dice Roll
---------
This is how a magician's alibity skills should be....
Str:4/5
Dex:4/5
Int:Any number
Luk: Any number

If you want a really perfect magician, your Str and Dex should be 4 each.

Str and Dex are least needed for magician and mostly most useless
skills. If you ask why, the answer is...
It's because mage need alot of Int to cast attacks on monsters and
the more Int you have, the higher your damage will be. Str wont do
anything to increase your magic attacks.
Int and luk is also required to wear certain level clothing.

When you reach level 8, you should have 11Luk, as Luk must always
be 3+ more than your current level and you should have about 30 to 40 + Int.
===========================================================================
Where to train?
---------------
Lvl 1 to 5 -Green snails, Blue Snails(Maple Island)
Lvl 5 to 8 -Blue snails,Shrooms,Red snails(Maple Island)

Killing Red Snails from level 5 onwards is now pretty much easier since Maplestory has
currently released Beginner Skills for you to make attacking easier.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginner Skill Book
----------------------------
When you level up, you can see a Beginner's Skill Book by pressing S. Open it up and look at the
skills.

Skill Book
---------------

Three Snails
Master Level : 3
Hurls snail shells that attack monsters from a few distance.

Recovery
Master Level : 3 [Can only be used every 10 mins]
Recovers your HP constantly for 30 seconds.

Nimble Feet
Master Level : 3[Can only be used every 15 mins]
Boosts your speed for a short amount of time.

--------------------------------------------------
No skill tree is recommended for this except that if you want to train a little faster, you may want
to add one skill into Three Snails so that you can hurl snail shells at monsters. THe rest of the skills
are up to you on where you want to dump it at.
And, one more thing. You can only have 6 SP in all for this Beginner skill book. SO...
allocate your your skills wisely. You also cannot use any of the beginner skills to add it to the
1st job skills.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you reach lvl 8, immediately go to SouthPerry and take the ship to
Lith Harbor, which costs 150 messos. Go and take the taxi to Ellinia and go to the top, where
lies the Magic Library. Talk to Grendal the really old and you will become
a magician, after he gives you a short talk!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Job skills
--------------
Open your skill book by pressing S on your key board.

Improving MP recovery
Master Level:16
A must to max this is if want fast MP recovery.

Improving Max MP Increase
Master level : 10
Must max this ASAP if you want to have tons of MP.

Magic Guard
Master level : 20
Max this so that your damage will be taken by 80% off your HP to mp.

Magic Armour
Master level : 20
A skill that boosts your defence by 40 when maxed.

Magic Bolt
Master level : 20
Put 1 skill into this to activate magic claw.

Magic Claw
master level : 20
Attacks a monster twice .

Skill tree that i would recommend
----------------------------------------------
lvl 8 - 1 magic bolt
9 - 3 improving mp recovery
10 - 2 improving mp recovery 1 improving max mp increase
11 - 3 improving max mp increase
12 - 3 improving max mp increase
13 - 3 improving max mp increase
14 - 3 improving mp recovery
15 - 3 improving mp recovery
16 - 3 improving mp recovery
17 - 2 improving mp recovery 1 magic claw
18 - 3 magic claw
19 - 3 magic claw
20 - 3 magic claw
21 - 3 magic claw
22 - 3 magic claw
23 - 3 magic claw
24 - 1 magic claw 2 magic guard
25 - 3 magic guard
26 - 3 magic guard
27 - 3 magic guard
28 - 3 magic guard
29 - 3 magic guard
30 - 3 magic guard
--------------------------------
total : 1 magic bolt
max improving max mp increase
max improving mp recovery
max magic claw
max magic guard
---------------------------------------
Do not put any skills into Magic Armour. Why? When you max it,
it only gives you a boost of 40 defence. It can be pretty useless.
Magic guard is better as it cuts off your hp damage by 80% so there
is no need to waste skills putting points into Magic Armour.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Some of you may want to start the difficult way by putting 1st skill
into improving mp recovery. Well, this method is not really recommended
unless you have a friend who will train you till you have magic bolt or you can
keep attacking with Three Snails.

===================================================================

Places to train
---------------

-------------------
When you hit lvl 30, go back to the magic library and talk to
Grendel the really old. He will say you have become much more stronger
and will pass you a letter, asking you to take it to the magician job
instructor near Ellinia. Head to the Forest North of Ellinia and go for
the tree passage right to the top. jump up the rope and go all the way up

--------------------------------------------------
Why max teleport first then MP eater?
----------------------------------------------------
Fire Mage's attacks are quite high so there is not a need to
have MP eater first. Max teleport first as it uses up alot of
mp to use it.

Playing with Poison Brace
-------------------------------------
Well, when you are round level 40, some how some of you may get
bored of having just Fire Arrow or Magic Claw and end up putting
one skill into Poison Brace. That can also be ok as if you are bored
of training, you may want to poison a monster and laugh and watch the
fun as it turns green and bubbly looking.

Making 3rd Job
--------------
First go to the Chief's resident in El Nath. Talk to Robeira, the 3rd
job instructor for magician.She is the one floating a little in the air. She will
pass you something after u talk to her. Now go to Obris and take the ship
to Victoria Island and talk to Grendel the Really Old. Read what he says
and go all the way to The Forest of Evil 2, where lies many maladays flying
around. In this area, you will find the Door of Dimension for Magicians.
Talk to it and it will bring you to fight Grendal the Really Old's Dark
Side. Remember, once you are in, the timer will immediately start.YOu are given
20 minutes. Quickly get all you need ready and walk till you come to a portal
and press up on it.
Then drop down and start fighting the "Dark Side" which is actually Grendal the
really Old 's clone. Once he reaches a certain amount of HP, he will summon usually
2 tauromacis at a time. The maximum number of Tauromacis he can summon in total
is 4.Sometimes, when you are lucky, he may not spawn a tauromacis on you.
WHen you kill the "clone", quickly pick up the Black charm that it dropped
and quickly get out before the timer runs out.
Then go back to Grendel the Really old to give him the Black charm. He will
hand you a necklace and you must go and board the ship to obris and go El Nath
and give Roberia the necklace.
She will take it and give you a different necklace. Then prepare 1 black crystal
which can be dropped by a Yeti.Then go to sharp Cliff 2 and press up at the
big brown door you can see .after climbing down sometime and you will appear at
Holy Ground at the Snowfield.
Go down and talk to the Big rock there and answer its 5 questions. If you get
anyone of the questions wrong, you will need another black crystal to try again.
Once you are done, it will give you a different necklace and take the one you
are holding. Go back to Roberia and she will turn you into a lvl 70, 3rd job mage.

Why not max Magic booster?
----------------------------------------
As from level 11, you can see effects
of your attacking speed faster. So it is not really a need to waste
your skill points putting into this skill as it is worthless to just
save some mp and hp. Leave it at level 11 is good enough.

anyway.
