Wizard (Ice/Lightning)
Introduction
The Ice/Lightning Wizard is one of three classes available to the Magician in the Second Job Advancement. The Ice/Lightning Wizard is one of the more popular classes, due to its versatility. While possessing slightly less power than a Wizard (Fire/Poison), the Ice/Lightning Wizard gains the ability to freeze and attack multiple enemies which enables this wizard to level slightly faster.

P.S. from reader:Max everything except mp eater and slow and then u decide how to spend the other 21 SP on those two skills.3 is gonna inevitably going into MP eater to unlock meditation so that leaves u with 18 SP.since I/L are gonna kill them fast when reached 3rd job and it'll help during late 2nd job to have a decent lvl slow.in other words, get a lvl 5 slow and a lvl 16 MP water or if u want a lvl 1 slow and maxed MP eater.Either way, it's ur choice to add onto wat.
Role of an Ice/Lightning Wizard
An Ice/Lightning Wizard mostly uses skills against mobs. It's medium-strength attack, Cold Beam, is used to make it easier to take on mobs by freezing individual monsters. Thunderbolt attacks multiple enemies at the same time, to clear the mobs faster. The other skills are shared with Fire/Poison Wizards.

Mesos
During the second job, Ice/Lightning Wizards generally make more money than Fire/Poison, but less than Clerics. Near the end, all 3 come closer together, but during the 4X and 5X and some of 6X, Ice/Lightning remains second. If you picked Ice first (tree 1/3), then you would earn a decent amount of money while leveling at an ok speed. If you picked Lightning first though, you would level a LOT faster at the earlier stages, but waste a lot of money on potions. Usually a Lightning Wizard will use a few million mesos before they max Cold Beam. This is true unless ofcourse, as recommended to save mesos, you rested once you ran out of the 2,000+ MP you have. With your insanely fast MP recovery rate you will gain it all back in less than 5 min. w/ your chair.
Training
Ice:
30-35: Stick to the Ant Tunnel. Horned Mushrooms are still good.
33-36: Boars. 1-hit kills for 42 EXP.
35-42: Fire Boars. 1-2 hit kills for 60 EXP. There are also sentinals and fire sentinals for lower 35-40s. They are weak to ice and are a bit easier than fire boars. 1-2 hit kills for 55 exp.
43-50: Jr. Cellion/Jr. Lioner. 1-2 (should be 1) hit kills for 65 EXP, plus 5 EXP per horn with Exchange Quest, and you get some potions to help with training.
51-60: Red Drakes. 220 EXP each, 2-4 hit kills, depending on equipment, and other stuff.
61-70: Stay at Red Drakes, or you can try Hot Sands with your Thunderbolt.
Lightning:
30-35: Stay at the Ant Tunnel. Mob kill in most spots, Exp comes very fast.
33-36: Bubblings in Kerning City Subway, or start on Lorangs in Florina Beach.
35-42: You can start on Lorangs here, 80 Exp Each. Or Fire Boars, If you 1 Hit KO with Ice, 60 Exp Each.
43-50: Stick with Lorangs/Clangs, though move to Jr. Cellions if your Ice is above level 15 (If you One-Hit KO them)
51-60: You have Versatility here. You can stick with Clangs/Turtles, or you can go Red Drakes. 220 Exp each, 2-3 hit kill, Many good drops.
61-70: Stay at Hot Sands, or you can stay at Red Drakes, Both ways Exp comes very nicely.
Overall
Ice/Lightning Wizards start fun, but end up getting boring as the training spots start diminishing, starting at level 40 or so. Once you reach the third job though, it becomes a lot more fun. Just be patient, take a break if you need it, and you'll eventually finish.
