End game optimization problem is that for some people, some gear/enchant/MVP setups suit them better as it touches the specifics of their playing styles and currently owned assets (e.g. with {{#item:312700}} in your {{#item:400544}} you might want {{#item:310860}}) in your {{#item:460020}}), so we will not assume a narrow-minded stance on this issue and would tolerate a bit lesser or bigger DPS and whatnots as long as things work well (shout out to get the DPS envy immunity people!).

*Pets: {{#item:9134}}
*Shadow Gears:
*Shadow Gears reccomendation, pick one that match your commitment the most:
**Magical Spell Shadow Shield+Shadow Weapon combo with Full Spell Armor-Shoes Combo: very strong if not BiS.
*General Set (old BiS) a bit weaker but you can use it on every magic character:
**Needing Full Tempest acc combo for 100% magic penetration.
**Magical Spell Shadow Shield+Shadow Weapon combo with Full Spell Armor-Shoes Combo.
**Otherwise double +10/+10 Magical/Spell/Sorcery Master Shadow Gears is not bad.
**Needing Full Tempest acc combo for 100% magic penetration if coupled with Full Spell Set.
*Skill & MRES penetration (likely new BiS, not fully tested) stronger but high commitment:
**single/double +10/+10 Magical/Spell/Sorcery Master Shadow Gears is not bad.
**Couple it with {{#item:24988}}, {{#item:24987}}, {{#item:1270043}}, {{#item:1270044}} combo as needed (likely new BiS).
*Currently not-haves list: {{#item:300377}}.

Not going to be your typical leveling guide, because this approach will prioritize:
* Enable sharing non-core Equipment among characters of different classes Alts Mass Production (coming soon) as much as possible, while only core items for HN will be highlighted on this guide.
* Enable sharing non-core Equipment among characters of different classes Alts Mass Production (coming soon) as much as possible, while only core items for SA will be highlighted on this guide.
* Monotonous, but will be predictable. Important because this leveling is a not chill routine, but more like 30 minutes of triathlons

* Not cost conscious, though time and stress speaking it is worth it if you plan to make more than, say, 10-15 characters of various jobs (just switch out the core item) each reaching lvl 250. I will explicitly say it here that basically you are investing in multiples of low level gears, which cumulatively in total may worth up to hundreds of millions zeny just to save time around 30 minutes to 2h per character creation and leveling up to lvl 250. Only do this when you're theoretically losing more potential value from that  farming hours loss.

* Other methods out there might be more efficient and effective than mine, I just don't know it yet so be adaptable and don't treat this guide as if written in stone. Mine is expected to reach level 230-250 in around 30 min when I do it myself, and roughly at worst you will be able to reach lvl 250 in around to 1-2h depending on your performance and investment level.

Non-core Equipment and Secondary Skills (passives, buffs, debuffs) will not be specifically named on the phases below (this is not a newbie guide), you will just have to do the best with what you currently possess. Though result may vary if your non-core equipment are far too weaker compared to the original assumption.
