Magicians (''<small>colloquially</small>'' called as '''Mages''') are known to rely on magical skills to deal damage against monsters, and use specific elements based on the monsters' elemental property to exploit their weakness.

In this line-up, Mages are bestowed with offensive '''Area of Effect''' ('''AoE''') skills that will help them level-up in the early stages of the game. While supportive, defensive, and passive skills will come in handy in endgame as Elemental Master. | ||
Among the notable skills that Mages use in their arsenal are '''{{#skill:14}}''', '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:20}}''', and '''{{#skill:17}}''' just to name a few. Mages predominantly use Fire Ball for leveling because of its wider AoE, splash damage effect, and low cooldown. Mages can also use the three (3) other bolt skills for leveling, but it won't be as effective and fast as using Fire Ball to level up, though they are still good skills to use especially when paired with '''{{#skill:18}}''', as this will create a protective barrier between you and the monster you are trying to kill. These bolt skills will also prove to be relevant for the other build of the Elemental Master class which is '''{{#skill:2445}}''' build. Mages also have access to '''{{#skill:157}}''' which gives another layer of Defense for the class. | Among the notable skills that Mages use in their arsenal are '''{{#skill:14}}''', '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:20}}''', and '''{{#skill:17}}''' just to name a few.

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#Magic_Gear_Progression|thorough guide]] for all things about a magical user's progression towards endgame 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 endgame. '''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. | Generally, magical classes follow the same path of progression, and they only differ with their choice of weapon, and upper headgear.

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 '''three''' ('''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 as a Sorcerer 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 | The gears that will be listed under the '''early game''' section are those that will be used for early leveling.

You'll also be able to start farming popular dungeons such as [[Niflheim|Niflheim 2]] and [[Clock Tower Unknown Basement]]. | ||
In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the endgame stage. Mid game gears will also serve as the base gears that will let you farm certain areas where those aforementioned resources are dropped such as [[Mjolnir Underground Cave]] and [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere|Varmundt's Biosphere]]. | In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the endgame stage.
