I/L wizard guide
Introduction
Ice and Lightning wizard guides are common,I know.But I will make mine the best.This guide covers everything you need to know-everything for a strong and successful I/L wizard.
Pros
(Note:Compared to F/P wizards and Clerics)
- Decent damage (Ice Beam hits about 2k at lvl 70)
- Great skill graphics
- Multi-attack using Thunderbolt,while other classes single-attack.
- Fast zapping with Thunderbolt
Cons
- Loses out to Clerics for PQs due to lack of healing powers
- A popular class;extremely common
Ability Points
Too important to neglect.The number of INT and LUK you put in sets your Magical Attack and Defense.It also shows in how strong you are.
Be careful,since you can't reset your AP- unless you buy AP reset rock from Cash Shop.
Each level up:+4 INT and +1 LUK
Skill Points
These are the recommended builds.
Build 1
You will need maxed lightning first if you do MCs and PQs a lot.It will come in useful for zapping large numbers of monsters.

Build 3
Basically,you max thunder first,putting in 3 SP at each lvl up.The rest is pretty much the same as builds 1/2.
Build 4
Max Ice Beam first.It will be very helpful in dealing with fire-typed monsters such as Jr.Cellion/Cellion.
Training Places
Lvl 30-35
Stay at Zombie Mushrooms and Horned Mushrooms. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt will not be maxed yet,so you will have to attack using Magic Claw. It will be useful to have a cleric to train with you to save pots,though this is not necessary. Wooden Masks and Rock Masks arealternatives, found in the Excavation Site I,Excavation Site II, and Excavation Site III. Wooden Masks give 42 exp while Rocky Masks give 45.
Lvl 35-40
Monster Carnivals are fine,but it's hard to find a suitable party at these levels. However, mcs do provide plenty of exp.You'll level up in no time at all and earn coins to exchange for equipment. For those who want to train, flaming boars in Perion make decent starters. Maxing ice beam is preferrable (:
Lvl 40-45
Head over to Orbis. PWNAGE. It will be no problem dealing with fire kitties now; Jr.Cellions provide 65 exp each and will only take 2 hits. Another good thing - they spawn fast,too. Stock up plently of pots and concentrate on training.
Lvl 45-50
Lvl 50-60
Upon hitting level 55, OPQing is an excellent way to enjoy the company of fellow maplers and gaining exp at the same time. It will be a struggle to learn the techniques to the Orbis Party Quest, but once you get the hang of it, everything seems easy. Have patience at the very beginning and let a more experienced player guide you through. Exp, fun, teamwork - what's not to like?
Lvl 60-65
Cellions are suitable targets for 2-3 hits each. Beware their mp attacks,though,these cannot be messed with.
Lvl 65-70
