For leveling, I won't be going too much into detail on this one, as there are already other guides out there that break it down thoroughly and served a complete input on where to farm best for each leveling stages. [[Yvonne's Guide#Leveling Guide|Yvonne's Guide]] and [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Starting_out_and_Leveling|Choi's Guide]] listed all the important dungeons where people can casually level up their characters from Levels 1-99, 100-200, and 200-275. You can follow their guides as you start the leveling phase of the game. Altogether with what we've talked about regarding the class particularly on the [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Magician|Magician]] and [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Sorcerer|Sorcerer]] sections, you can apply all of these when leveling up. I'll just go make a brief summary to refresh your recollection and give out tips on how to level up as a '''Mage''' transitioning to '''Sage''' 'til '''Professor''', and as a '''Sorcerer''' transitioning to an '''Elemental Master'''.

In this stage of gear progression, you are in the beginning stages of gearing. With the gears you have, they are good enough to get you through as you start to do the Episodic Quests starting from [[17.2 Sage Legacy|Episode 17.2]]. To start Episode 17.2, you first need to clear [[17.1 Illusion|Episode 17.1]], and if you don't care for the lore of the game you can skip 17.1 and buy its skip ticket. You can purchase {{#item:1000285}}from '''NPC''' '''Temporal Tina''' {{#navi:main_office|94|59}} in the Main Office ('''@go main''') for 2,000,000 zeny.

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}}. If you don't like farming for them, you also have the option to buy them from vendors since they aren't too costly to begin with anyway. 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)]].

When refining {{#item:19428}}, {{#item:550030}}, and {{#item:460018}} and to all succeeding '''Lvl. 1 Armors''' and '''Lvl. 4 Weapons''', I suggest you use [[Armor_Weapon_Tickets|refinement tickets]] as this will safely refine your equipment according to the level of the refinement ticket you have. Exchange the tickets to '''NPC''' '''Refine Master''' {{#navi:prontera|189|175}} at Prontera  ('''@go''' '''0'''). You'll need to have your weapon and armor equipped before he refines them for you. For more info, refer to these pages: [[Quick_Newbie_Guide#Refine_Tickets|Quick Newbie Guide]] and [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Refining_Gear|Choi's Prerenewal Guide to Renewal (Refining)]].

At this stage, you ought to purchase the {{#item:450178}}after doing [[18 Direction of Prayer|Episode 18]] or if you are impatient you may use the {{#item:1000288}} even if you haven't cleared the questline once. By finishing the Episode 18 quests step-by-step, you are given a generous amount of {{#item: 1000405}}for you to get one. To farm more of these fragments, you can go to [[Oz_Labyrinth#Floor_2|Oz Dungeon Flr. 2]] so you can determinedly enchant your Robe with  {{#item:310532}}, {{#item:310515}}, and {{#item:310507}}. ACD is preferably 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 want to optimize it). However if you value damage over comfortable rotation then you may freely choose '''Wolf Orb (Mage) Lv. 3''' instead. Additional pieces of information on how to enchant the robe are provided [[Gray Wolf Equipment#Gray Wolf Armor Enchantments|here]].

Another good improvement for your damage is the weapon {{#item:540049}}. The recommended enchants {{#item:311353}}, {{#item:311351}}, {{#item:311349}}, and {{#item:311349}}work best when enchanted on a {{#item:640033}}, but then you will lose {{#item:460018}}in your shield slot which helps you reach instant cast and fast casting is important for every magical class so I don't recommend enchanting on a Two-Hand Staff. Keep in mind you would need to clear [[19 Isgard Land of Snow Flowers|Episode 19]] first if you will be manually enchanting your book and when nobody is selling one in the market. To know more about the enchanting process, kindly check this [[Glacier And Dim Glacier Weapons For Dummies#What Are Glacier Weapons?|page]].

Another piece of equipment you'll need to craft is the {{#item:480125}} which will help you get through most stages and you'll still be using this one 'til Mid Game so it's worth the hassle of crafting one. For more info on how to craft it, check this [[Convertible_Wings|page]]. The Sinful accessories {{#item:490052}} and {{#item:490053}} can be obtained from [[Memories_of_Thanatos#Sinful_Accessories|Thanatos Tower]], and can be enchanted using {{#item:1000257}}. As you farm for raw zeny in Thanatos Flr. 12, you can exchange the fragments you loot there for Pieces of Sin and use them for enchanting. More info on how to enchant the accessories [[Sinful_Enchantment|here]].

As you farm for raw zeny in Thanatos Flrs. 11 & 12, you can exchange the fragments you loot there for Pieces of Sin/Good Will and use them for enchanting. The Sinful variants will be your all-around accessories for general contents while the Brilliant variants are strictly for Thanatos Tower and [[Niflheim#Level 2|Niflheim 2]] due to the abundance of Demon race monsters in these dungeons.  


If you're looking to slightly improve your Shadow Gears, you have the option to buy or rent the '''Advanced Paradise Shadow Gears''' from '''NPC Lucy''' {{#navi:moc_para01|108|91}} ('''@go eden''') using the currency {{#item:25223}}. To farm Eden Coins, I suggest you start in [[Abyss_Lake|Abyss Lake 4]] and once you gain access to 17.2  Varmundt, you can transfer to Second Power Plant to farm Eden Coins much efficiently. The Advanced Paradise Shadow Gears consisting of {{#item:24705|Sorcerer Paradise Advanced Shadow Weapon}}, {{#item:24693|Paradise Advanced Shadow Shield}}, {{#item:24694|Paradise Advanced Shadow Armor}}, {{#item:24695|Paradise Advanced Shadow Shoes}}, {{#item:24696|Paradise Advanced Shadow Earring}}, and {{#item:24697|Paradise Advanced Shadow Pendant}} offer a slight increase in damage and 15% more ACD, but gives 5% less VCT than your free Paradise Shadow Gears.

You are now approaching Mid Game and there are core gears you can make as early as now as it's easy to make one  and cheap to get. The books {{#item:540079}} and {{#item:540080}}can be purchased from vendors for an affordable price or if there's a lack of supply you can ask any Depth 2 farmers to <s>donate</s> sell you one. You can start [[Grade_Enhancing|grading]] and [[Refinement|refining]] these books. When refining, make sure to use {{#item:102668}} starting from +9. Don't start grading 'til the books are +11 for a higher chance of success.
