The Basic Magician Guide

Intro

Hi, this is the Basic Magician guide were you will learn how to use and play one of the most powerful charcters in MapleStory. this guide is is for MapleGlobal of Version 0.73 so there is no dice roll. Magicians are the only class that does not use physical attacks (Arrows and stars are counted as physical). During the 20s you will be one of the most powerful classes in the game. In this guide I will explain the fastest and easiest way to get your character to level 30 and the Second Job Advancement. .

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Highest MP in the game.
• Fast MP recovery.
• Can use skills in close range and far.
• Have Magic Guard which makes them nearly invincble.

Cons

• Lowest HP in the game.
• Defense usally low.
• Weak armors.
• MP Potions cost more than HP ones.

Starting the game

Skill Builds

• Level 2: +1 Three Snails
• Level 3: +1 Three Snails
• Level 4: +1 Three Snails (Max)
• Level 5: +1 Nimble Feet
• Level 6: +1 Nimble Feet
• Level 7: +1 Nimble Feet (Max)

I don't think it's worth maxing Recovery beacause you will have Relaxer to use anyway, and Three Snails will help you hit monsters from afar and at max do 40 damage which is high for your level.

Training

Quests

• Do all the beginner explaination quests, they'll help you level up faster. Once you arrive at Amherst do Pio's quest to get 200 mesos and the Relaxer. After that give the letter to Lucas and train with Mai. You probably won't be able to complete all her quests by time you get Level 8.

Training Areas

Level 1-3: Snail Hunting Ground I and Snail Hunting Ground II.

Level 4-6: The Field West of Amherst and A Split Road

Level 7-8: The Field East of Amherst and West Field of Southperry

Becoming a Magician

Once you get to level 8 press the lightbulb over your head to get the GM class quest. Hopefully you will get Magician. If you don't go to Southperry and talk to Shanks. He'll take you to Victoria Island for 100 mesos. At Victoria, travel to Henesys and take the cab if you can afford it. If not travel to ellinia by foot.

Talking to Grendel

Climb to the top of Ellinia and Enter the Magic Library and talk to Grendel. In GMS it doesn't matter what your stats are but in MapleSEA you need 25 INT. After you accept you become a official magician.
