* It is also possible to completely eliminate the 5 seconds cooldown of Diamond Dust with the item {{#icon:540014}}{{#linkitem:540014|Poenitentia Codex}}. When the codex is refined to +11 and above, it will reduce both Diamond Dust and Earth Grave cooldown by an additional 2 seconds. {{#icon:24297}}{{#linkitem:24297|Sorcerer Shadow Weapon}} wouldn't necessarily need to be refined at +10 when you use both equipment then. | * It is also possible to completely eliminate the 5 seconds cooldown of Diamond Dust with the item {{#icon:540014}}{{#linkitem:540014|Poenitentia Codex}}.

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 endgame 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.
