So, I've been leveling up a bit lately and gone up a couple thousand levels over the last few weeks and while I am doing ok (except for the fact that the creatures I am hunting with 10k attack are constantly killing me when I have almost 13k def)

 

But I was wondering, if there is gear available that would be better for me to use as a mage than what I currently have. 

 

Here is my current set up:

 

Weapon

 

 

Golden Wyvern Psychic Mandiblade

 

Armour

 

Mystical Reinforced Carapace

 

Ring

 

 

Active Charmed Pyroxene Ring

 

Active Ring of Wisdom

 

Yvew SealRaider Epsilon++

 

Zaahar Band

 

Amulet

 

 

Amulet of Searing

 

Enhanced Omniaurae Amulet

 

Omniaurae Amulet

 

Shield

 

 

Zaahar Shadow Shield

 

Rune

 

 

Lucky Charm Rune

 

Xenthij Slotted Overcharge Rune

 

Zaahar Mastermind Rune

 

Trinket

 

 

Charm of Learning Love

 

Dark Dajsa Iolite

 

Glowing Storm Trinket

 

Trinket of Squigmar

 

So, can anyone think of diff gear pcs that would be upgrades for me and maybe point me into the direction to find them (quest links etc) 

Currently I am hunting with Aeon Vials, and with them my stats are:

Unfortunately, I dont have the MS program that allows me to use creature pickers, and so a cultie had given me a list of stuff to beat up from a creature calculator they have. The downside is that I seem to be running to a mana shrine after every 4th or 5th creature I kill. I don't know if I am just using too much mana per spellcast or what the deal is, but they are good hunting because I get 5-7 lvls per kill and about 20ap maybe spent. 

 

So I am thinking it's a gear thing perhaps, 

Any suggestions from some of our uber mages?

TO start off with you should be using ancient mystic vials.  I just had my miner throw up an auction for you on the trade network.  (just to try them out)  If you park outside of your cult square on a warp gate sometime, I'll trade you some more.

I don't think I am high enough level to use those, it says min level 35k, I am only 8k.  I still have a ways to go

you can still use them.  it's bugged.  also, wyvern feathers and yvew seals for your slottables. go kick smelty1's butt at auction for the wyvern feathers. I KNOW he's getting them for 1 PP when they are worth 6 benes

I'll try that, when I looked at them in my inventory it didn't even have the "drink/use" option for me, so I just assumed I needed 28k+ levels.  I was thinking about yvews and stuff but I feel like my rings and trinkets suck so until I get something better those slottables would be a waste since I don't have artificer points or anything.

So what miner are you using for support with mage enchant, time shift, drop boost and doubler?  They should have 100 artificer if they are built right.  Then you can trade your items off to them until your artificer is 100 (around lvl 60k-80k) for bound items.

 

Mages need a small army to get on proper.  All for the miner enchanter support.  Some copper miners, copper smelters, copper orbers.  Never mine iron ore.  You can buy it for gp in Oceanianas.  You need an iron smelter and an iron orber.  A zircon miner and smelter and orber.  Then someone to do the crystals for time shift.   Your main miner support does enchantments with AP.  I had 7 miners working for me.  Prob get bye with a few less.

And... SKILLS SKILLS SKILLS!  That's what makes a mage!  Not stats.  Get your skills straight before anything.  Then work on upping your wiz with the items.  MP and DEF are shite compared to WIZ.  It's all about dmg and casting xp and more wiz = more dmg and casting xp.

[Sadiablo]

I have a low lvl miner who only does my mining and throws enchants on me when I am out questing and leveling, they haven't done quests or leveled up reallly so they can't be my personal artificer. But even if they could, a lot of my items that are "golden wyvern" this or that for example.. are bound and cant be traded, so until I get my own personal artificer skill up  I have to leave the items alone , I cant remove any of the slottables. 

 

I do understand that wisdom and therefore my dmg is my bread and butter, but at the same time if I have to run to the mana shrine every 2 min to refill that's a lot of time wasted on enchants and vials and a lot of wasted Ap, so I need to get my mana up and my defence up so that I don't get killed every time I get a spell off.  Especially if I am in a realm where I lose xp from being killed by something. 

 

I just broke 9k, so when I hit 10k I can do quests to replace a couple of rings, and I can maybe hunt new stuff which is nice.  been hunting the same 1-2 critters for the last 2k levels I went through this week. It's getting mind numbing

[blacqmath]

ok.  so inner wisdom on the mystic gem will up your mp stat.  i know you are sorta broken with ap lvl ups.  try building 1hp/5mp/4def per 10 lvls.  mp will come.  be patience.
