Because Mages happen to be the cheapest class to make (not the
most lucrative, just the cheapest)
1. What Class do I choose?
Spoiler
Well that depends on your funds and how much farming
you want to do.
In order from Cheapest to most expensive here are the 3 mage
classes:
Cleric
Ice Lighting
Fire Poison
Now leveling speed is the other major choice.
I am going to pretend since you are poor that you will and
SHOULD do Pqs until 71.
POST 71- til 4th job leveling speed:
F/P- Fast. Fast, fast, fast the more bigger better mobs Nexon
pumps out the faster you get to level.
Poison Mist is a Beast, as Harrisonized showed you can still
effectively use it well into 4th job too.
Cleric- Possibly Fast. If you have a few Dk friends, a lagless
computer, and decent hand eye coordination Himes will rocket you
to 105- where if you have Arch mage buddies can rocket you to
4th job.
I/L: Slow and steady. The whole freezing thing will really save on
some pots though.
Another concern is party-ablitly.
Simply put clerics get parties- ILs and FPs do not.
2. Lukless Vs. Luk builds
Spoiler
Lukless is 102587615423x cheaper than Luk builds.
Really to be decent you don't need anything other than pot money
and a crappy Maple Item or umbrella.
If you are poor- You should be a lukless build.
If you want power- You should be a lukless build.
If you want different equips every few levels that will drain your
money- Buy Nx- or Go Luk build
Here is a nice little comparison of a totally broke Lukless vs. My 200mil+ funded Luk Mage both at Level 92:
Spoiler
Me- Total 627-
Lukless Broke-ass Mage- Total 572-
My Gear Break down:
Mattack/Int totals-
15-Zhelm
16-Fallen Leaf Earrings
121-Kage
5-Silver Deputy Star
4- Lapiz Sandals
19-Dark Starlight
14- Purple Adv. Cape
12- Work Gloves
412 base Int (65 base Luk) + the above= 627
And the Lukless (with less than 7 million mesos)
85- a terrible lvl 64 maple weapon
5- 100%ed Earrings
7- some terrible cape
2- Speiglemann Pendant
473 Base int + the above = 572
A Difference of 35 int for well over 200 million at least
Trust me when I say lukless don't need any funding
3. Meh Gearz
Spoiler
Ahh... Gear.
Some people think that Lukless are expensive because their initial
gear CAN be their endgame gear.
If you are poor that is a lie.
Get these as you can- Don't worry about godly scrollling.
Infact if you are still broke try to find the most jacked up
cheapest stuff you can find.
You can always upgrade slowly and later
Here are some basic and CHEAP gears to get IN ORDER:
Wooden Wand> Maple Staff>Maple Llama/Nocturnal Staff>Shiny Wand/Wisdom Staff
+5 100% earrings
+5 100% Cape
Speigelman Pendant! +1-2 Int From CPQ
Speed/Jump Snoeshows
An Hp Helm- Like a Pig Ribbon or a Terrible 2-6 Int Common class
hat
A CLEAN or HP Bath towel--- Or if you want avoid Bath robe Or
common class clothes with HP-Speed-Jump-W/e
An HP Shield
Hp Gloves or some dirt cheap 1-2 Int Yellow Work Gloves
As you can afford stuff...
Spoiler
Get GREAT DEALS!
or just look at the overall Int+ Mattack vs cost ratio.
ALSO when scrolling your own stuff...
CONSIDER!
Scroll Price
Scroll Effect
Difference In 30/70.
Endgaminess- (don't make a Godly Pre-Zhelm since it will never
touch a scrolled zhelm)
Example- 30's for Cape give +3 70's give +2 I have yellow cape I
plan to keep until I find a better one. Yellow Adv Capes are not
exactly cheap. But the difference of 40% working is +1 int. I
should just 70 it.
I have infinite Work Gloves (they are cheap) I do not have infinite
funds.
I'd like +6 gloves.
30's give +3 Int +3 Mattack 70's Give + 1 int +1 Mattack
That is a Difference of 4 stats. Wow.
Time to use 30's
3 1/2. Order to scroll stuff as mesos rain from Heaven
Spoiler
Weapon 30s 70s 60s
Earring 30s 70s 60s
Cape 70s 60s
Helm 70s (THERE ARE NO 60%s! to my knowledge~Josh)
Gloves 30s
Shield/Overall 30s 70s 60s
4. Where do I make dah Levelz and Mezarz effeciently?
10-21 HPQ (it is just really good exp- really cheap)
21-30 Apq or Kpq (do you want a chair that will soon be worthless or some
crap from Kpq)
30-50: CPQ/LPQ (I'd do CPQ till I had a 1-2 Int Pendant with some Hp/MP on it.) [ Lpq's require pots- However If you do Lpqs you can get good scrolls Like Int 60's overall which are currently 20 mil {that is 3 away from ditching this guide}]
51-71: LMPQ - (Pots for cash and a good time to stock up on Int 10's for your cape and Scrolls for Hp on some stuff)
DO NOT PPQ- That is BAD. BAD! But comes with a cool hat.
If we get MPQ- I'll evaluate it. But hopefully it will be decent.
5. Summary
Spoiler
If you are BROKE and need the cheapest most cost
effective build- Get a cleric- Get a Maple weapon- Get to
work.-100% some stuff if need be. You Win. Use no
pots.
5. Extras-
Spoiler
----So are there any uses to Luk Builds?
In Gms there are two. EXPLOSION- all the fast wands are Luk
only.
So that can be considered.
But Personally I would Ignore it.
And if you die with more LUk you lose less Exp.
But you tend to train faster as a lukless-
So moot as well.
-----What if I start getting mesos?
Either slowly upgrade your equips to make you stornger
overall(recommended)
Or sink all mesos in one-semi godly equip (not a good idea unless
you have renewable income)
-----Where do I train for meso efficiency?
There is a guide for that already.
However Clerics can get to 4th job without ever really using meso
guard or any pots if you follow an MP eater and Heal build and
training pattern.
----------OPTION: Adding Points from AP into HP as a beginner-
First- ONLY do this as a beginner since they receive more HP per
AP applied.
Second- I have not personally tired this. It SEEMS to be a feasbile
option. I only recommend it for NEW servers as HP equips can be
scarce. Not recommended for NEW players.
WAAHH!!! Chompy what about your obvious Bias towards Clerics..
And I see you ARE a CLERIC!
Spoiler
For MESO SAVING clerics are unbeatable. By the largest margin.
Clerics are the ONLY class in game that can train with ZERO pots
effectively. I/L can train with low pot costs due to freeze. I know.
But that won't even touch the pot cost of 0. MONEY MAKING
clerics are teh suckage. F/Ps and I/Ls can train on many more
lucrative monsters. But that will not generally be the most
effective method of training. That will generally be more of farming
which is fine.
The OTHER big reason I am pushing clerics- If you want cheap
great stuff you should boss.
There is a SIGNIFICANT bias against mages in bossing.
But there is a HUGE demand for clerics.
Thus 80+ clerics are GREAT for grabbing splits in various bosses.
Also Mages benefit WAY more from higher Int/Mattack than Party
clerics or regular clerics since their Damage Attacks formulas are
higher (ThunderBolt > Heal).
Clerics can live with the generally cheaper HP gear- Infact I am
going to generally recommend Hp gear to clerics for most training.
So clerics are just better MONEY SAVERS.

Coming Soon to a Thread Near You!:
Quests to get good gear/scrolls- Like the NLC Nocturnal Staff quest
(Guys I'd Like your help on this part please )
Picturized Stuff- (BE FAMOUS- gimme YOUR picks)
Things to do to get levels and mesos without FARMCORING! (Like PQS!)
As impossible or unimaginable as it may sound, I was reading about this today.
The machine is called the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). Its a machine released in Geneva, a city of Switzerland. This machine has a 27km circumference, and its ~130 metres underground.
The purpose of this machine is as the name says it, to collide hadrons. But, what are Hadrons? Hadrons in a short term, are particles that are formed by a strong interaction of subparticles called, Mesons and Baryons.
The machine will work as follow:
1) They will pick up protons and put them in opposite directions in the magnetic core (27 kms of circumference) at almost the speed of light. Thats almost 50 thousand times around the ring, in a second.
2) After, they will line up the protons in order for them to collide.
3) The concentraded energy in result, will give a picture of the universe fractions of seconds after the Big Bang.
This could bring to the human eyes the never seen particle called "Higgs boson", the observation of what could confirm how elementary particles acquire properties such as mass. The Higgs boson would be a significant step in the Grand Unified Theory, that tries to unify three of the four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. The other fundamental force is gravity, which the Higgs boson could explain why its so weak compared to others.
Many scientifics have said that this project could lead to many catastrophes such as, a black hole that could eat up the whole earth, or universe as we know it. Yet, the other side of the scientifics that support the project, say that even if we get eaten by a blackhole, we won't feel a thing.
Others, say that it can create a big bang, but the LHC cannot generate the energies found in the Big Bang. All it can do, is recreate the conditions of how matters behave fractions of seconds after the big bang, and take a snapshot of it.
The source of this is: Wikipedia, and Youtube videos.
hey, i have a friend who can hook it up with a zhelm for me for free but i need to find out how much hp i need without HB in order to survive a hit from zak
i'm a lvl 50 lukless cleric with 961hp and 3224mp without HB and a few hp equips on...would i be able to survive a hit from zakum? and if not, how much more hp will i need?
Ok so im definantly excited about pirates, idk what it is about them but i want one so bad. Im thinking about quitting my night lord...but i like to be secure with things relating to my characters. I need to know some things..like:
1. Do infighters have accuracy problems like warriors do? Their equips might require some DEX, but warriors who use stonetooth swords still have some accuracy problems <.<
2. How are infighters and training? I might train an infighter with a bishop but i'd still like to know how they are(i.e. are they fast at training like clerics or slow like archers?)
3. Are vipers good at bossing like night lords are? Time Leap and Wind Booster are definite bossing skills but would their damage be worth taking them?
Thanks ^.^
