To obtain the '''Illusion Goibne''' set, you'll need to farm at [[Illusion of Luanda]]. Whereas, {{#item:460018}}is farmed at [[Illusion of Twins]]. Turning in the main board quests will reward you some {{#item:50001}}and 15 {{#item:25271}} when completing any Illusion Dungeon board quests. I suggest you keep the Forgotten Heirlooms and bulk open them later for more chances of getting {{#item:6635}}. You will need the Illusion stones to enchant your Illusion Goibne set and Illusion Silver Guard; to do that, you'll need to talk to '''Illusion Enchanter NPC''' {{#navi:prontera|91|115}} at '''Prontera''' ('''@go 0'''). For more details about Illusion enchanting, refer to this [[Illusion_Enchantment|page]]. Another armor you can use is the {{#item:15399}}, and pairs well with the Snow Flower equips for a good balance of DEF and MDef if you don't want to build the Illusion Goibne set. To enchant the soutane, you can the follow link [[Odin#Enchant|here]]. | To obtain the '''Illusion Goibne''' set, you'll need to farm at [[Illusion of Luanda]].

In order to get the {{#item:480159}}and {{#item:470115}}and enchant it, you will need to have access with [[19_Isgard_Land_of_Snow_Flowers|Episode 19]] . If up to this point you still haven't finished the Episodic quests, you can settle for Illusion Goibne in the meantime. After crafting {{#item:18603}}, you'll need to slot it using the item {{#item:6396}}. You can buy this item in the Muh Shop for 4,500 Muh Points. An option for your lower headgear is the {{#item:420021}}. It's dropped by the MVP in [[Fall of Glastheim]], and you can use any of its variation; you're only after its enchants which is easily enchantable with {{#item:1000874}}.

Choi has made a [ | Generally, magical classes follow the same path of progression, and they only differ with their choice of weapon, and upper headgear. Choi has made a [[Choi%27s_Guide_To_Magic|thorough guide]] for all things about a magical user's progression towards end game and it is honestly commendable. In this guide, we'll be focusing more on the Elemental Master's side of progression with core gears that an EM would need for leveling during the early stages of the game to its mid game and then finally end game. '''This section will also be told for the perspective of people new to the game''' and if this happens to be your 2nd or 3rd time to play a magic-based character then you can freely switch some of the gear recommendations per stages or skip that stage entirely. | ||
The gears that will be listed under the '''early game''' section are those that will be used for early leveling. Early game gears will be divided into '''3 subcategories''': '''Part I''' , '''Part II''' , and '''Part III'''. In '''Part I''', you begin your gear progression with the Advanced Paradise Set you used for leveling and you are expected to do the Episodic Quests. With the Grace set you had just gotten from Episode 17.1, you will be farming for raw zeny mostly in places like [[Thanatos_Tower_Revamp|Thanatos Tower Flr. 12]], while doing the quests for Episode 17.2 and Episode 18 to get you ready for the next set of gears for Part II. Most of the gears here are obtained from Episode 17.2 and Episode 18, that's why the sooner you finish the episodic quests the closer you approach Part II of early game progression. '''Part II''' routine is almost similar to Part I where you will again farm for zeny to gear yourself up. Upon reaching '''Part III''' of gear progression, this is where you'll start to craft gears which you will continue to use 'til late game such as {{#item:540079}}and {{#item:470204}}. You'll also be able to start farming popular dungeons such as [[Niflheim|Niflheim 2]] and [[Clock Tower Unknown Basement]]. | The gears that will be listed under the '''early game''' section are those that will be used for early leveling.

With the Advanced Paradise Eden gears you obtained during the leveling phase, you can still use them to farm {{#item:25669}}and {{#item:25723}} from mobs in '''Rudus Flr. 2''' {{#navi:sp_rudus2|185|258}}. You also have the option to buy them from vendors since they aren't too costly to begin with anyway if you don't like to farming for them. After getting the required materials to buy your Grace set, you can use {{#item:100130}}to upgrade them to +9. Afterwards, you can start doing the [[Thanatos_Tower|Thanatos Tower]] quest so you can start farming for zeny in Flr. 12 to get you ready for the next upgrade in your gears. For more information regarding areas where you can farm zeny, you can check [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Zeny_Farming|Choi's Prerenewal Guide to Renewal (Zeny Farming)]]. | With the Advanced Paradise Eden gears you obtained during the leveling phase, you can still use them to farm {{#item:25669}}and {{#item:25723}} from mobs in '''Rudus Flr. 2''' {{#navi:sp_rudus2|185|258}}.

Exchange the tickets to '''Refine Master NPC''' {{#navi:prontera|189|175}} at Prontera ('''@go''' '''0'''). You'll need to have your weapon and armor equipped before he refines them for you.

ACD is chosen over {{#item: 310510}} since EM is a rotation-heavy class and having more '''ACD''' would help you cycle your skills fluidly. About '''60% ACD''' is needed in total if you wanna optimize it. | ||
