* This allows EM to casually spam their ultimate skill Elemental Buster with zero restrictions anytime they desire to do so. DS has a 1 second cooldown so for every second, they can freely do just that. Exciting!

* With the arrival of [[Chapter 1]]'s new content called [[Zero Cell Sector]], this introduced the new book {{#icon:540114}}{{#linkitem:540114|Elemental Spirits}}as part of the [[Another Dimension Weapon|Another Dimension Weapon series]]. This weapon is basically the fusion of the {{#icon:540079}}{{#linkitem:540079|Dimensions Elemental Magic Book}}+ {{#icon:540080}}{{#linkitem:540080|Dimensions Elemental Spell Book}}into a singular book. Now, instead of swapping out between these two books, you can just use '''Elemental Spirits''' and alternate between '''{{#skill:5373}}''' and DS to autocast Elemental Buster!

When using the Dimensions combo consisting of {{#icon:400536}} {{#linkitem:400536|Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Elemental Master)}} + {{#icon:540080}}{{#linkitem:540080|Dimensions Elemental Spell Book}} and when both items are '''Grade A''', it will give you the ability to autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png Elemental Buster''' every time you cast Terra Drive. Crazier stupid? Yusss, we know! You're not alone~

* This allows EM to casually spam their ultimate skill Elemental Buster with zero restrictions anytime they desire to do so. Like DS, TD has a 1 second cooldown so for every second, they can freely do just that. But wait there's moreee~

** If you've gotten this far I know what you're probably thinking. Does that mean we could use both {{#icon:540079}}{{#linkitem:540079|Dimensions Elemental Magic Book}} & {{#icon:540080}}{{#linkitem:540080|Dimensions Elemental Spell Book}} to autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png Elemental Buster''' every half a second? The answer is a big Yes! You can freely switch between books and cast DS and TD alternately. Though you may need to be fast on your fingers as this requires a bit of micromanaging so good luck~

Line 1,450:

** Its base MAtk% and SPL ratio got significantly increased. Psychic Stream's original base MAtk% of 18,500% was increased to 21,000% while the factor weight of SPL was buffed from <code>'''(7 x SPL)'''</code> to <code>'''(12 x SPL)'''</code>.

* If you only use this skill as a gap closer, you will still have to fully level up Psychic Stream since it gets reduced cooldown the higher the levels. At Level 5, Psychic Stream has 2 seconds CD as compared to Level 1's 12 seconds CD. That being said, either learn this skill always at Level 5 or don't get Psychic Stream at all.

* There are items that reduce Psychic Stream's CD such as the combo of {{#icon:400536}}{{#linkitem:400536|Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Elemental Master)}} + {{#icon:540096}}{{#linkitem:540096|Time Gap Elemental Spellbook}}. When both items are '''Grade A''', they reduce its CD by 0.7 second which is not much but still something. Newer items like the combo of {{#icon:401217}}{{#linkitem:401217|Sky Rune Crown (Elemental Master)}}and {{#icon:540125}}{{#linkitem:540125|Sky Elemental Book}}reduce this skill's CD by 1 second, while giving you the ability to autocast your own EM skill '''{{#skill:5373}}''' every time you cast Psychic Stream, and also reducing '''{{#skill:5369}}'''<nowiki/>'s CD by 0.3 second when both items are '''Grade A''' and the '''sum of their total refine is 12 or more'''.

* I honestly don't know why Gravity gave the class even more mobility, but I guess this is them playing favorites. Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, we now have more mobility which makes farming easier and faster. It's not as good as a Taekwon's '''{{#skill:426}}''' skill or a Knight's '''{{#skill:1001}}''' skill since it has a bit of cooldown and a nine (9) cells range, but in places like [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth|Depth Biosphere]] or [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2|Depth Abyss 2]] where teleportation is disabled, this skill is very useful.

* '''Note''': This skill doesn't work when you're under the '''{{#skill:157}}''' state, so be careful not to cast or recast this skill often.

Line 2,934:

* After rebirthing, follow your same routine leveling up as a Mage 'til you've reached Professor then eventually Sorcerer.

* Upon reaching 3rd job, you must first collect your [[Beginners_Guide#Gear|Advanced Paradise Gears]] from '''NPC Louis''' {{#navi:eden|108|87}} and '''NPC Labraham''' {{#navi:moc_para01|108|83}} before continuing your leveling grind. Now here, I suggest you pick {{#icon:540031}}{{#linkitem:540031|Paradise Sorcerer Magic Book}} over {{#icon:540032}}{{#linkitem:540032|Paradise Sorcerer Spellbook}} because for leveling you would want to use your 3rd job elemental AoE skills for faster farming instead of elemental bolt skills for '''{{#skill:2445}}'''. Choi made a brief description in this [[Choi%27s_Prerenewbie_Guide_to_Renewal#Gear_Progression_OR_How_I_Think_About_Gear|section]] of his guide on where to farm the required materials you will need to turn-in for the Advanced Paradise Gears.

==== Leveling as a Sorcerer ====

* Now secondly if this isn't your first character and you have some zeny to spare and you want to ease the suffering part of leveling as a Sorcerer, you could purchase leveling up gears such as the {{#item:26118}} or its enhanced version {{#item:550012}}. Buy whichever is available in the market, both will reduce '''{{#skill:2449}}''''s CD by 1 second at +11. To further reduce its CD, you can purchase the costume enchant stones {{#item:25419}} + {{#item:25420}}that reduce its cooldown by another 2 seconds. In total, you'll have 3 seconds CD reduction for PW and it'll be left with 2 seconds CD. It still has a bit of CD but PW is going to be your main skill leveling up and the frequent you get to use it the better. I still suggest following the priority of skills that I had recommended and the skills in your rotation will be reduced as you will primarily cast PW whenever it's off-CD.

** Two items you could use to pair with the Shadow Staves to condense your skill rotation down to two (2) skills instead of the usual four (4) is the '''Shadow Gear Weapon''' {{#item:24297}} and '''Shadow Gear Shield''' {{#item:24310}}. When Sorcerer Shadow Weapon and Sorcerer Shadow Shield are refined to +10, your '''{{#skill:2447}}''' and''' {{#skill:2446}}''' skill cooldowns will be reduced by 4 seconds—respectively—leaving behind only 1 second CD for each skill. You could purchase these two Shadow Gear equipment by exchanging 80 {{#item:50033}}, 5 {{#item:7451}}, and 15 {{#item:25729}} to '''NPC Clark''' {{#navi:main_office|87|163}} in the '''Main Office Basement''' ('''@go main'''). To refine them instantly to +9, you may use the item {{#item:23926}}, retrieved from '''NPC Rayja''' {{#navi:main_office|87|178}} by exchanging 150 pcs. {{#icon:50033}}{{#linkitem:50033|Shadows}}and {{#icon:25729}}{{#linkitem:25729|Shadowdecons}}. The choice whether to pick one of them or both is up to you, but in my opinion choosing Diamond Dust and reducing its CD to cycle together with '''{{#skill:2449}}''' is more optimal farming-wise. DD possesses a hard CC with crystallization and you can just alternate PW and DD; cast PW whenever it's off-CD then spam DD while PW is on CD. As we've talked about in the [[The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Goldie#Skill Analysis 4|Sorcerer section of Skill Analysis]], you could condense your rotation to something similar like this:

* Third and final option is to find a good soul to leech you all the way to Elemental Master. As an act of courtesy, at least provide an {{#item:17608}}[GFW] to the leecher and I'm pretty sure by this point you have collected enough {{#item:50000}} either from opening {{#item:50001}} or daily log-in rewards. You can purchase a GFW from the Muh Coin shop. You'll need to exchange 18 Muh Coins for 180 Muh Points. To do this, talk to the '''NPC''' '''Rich Cow''' {{#navi:main_office|87|59}} in the '''Main Office''' ('''@go 15''').

==== Leveling as an Elemental Master ====

* Finally after a millennia, you're now an Elemental Master! Congrats! It's now easier to level up with your 4th skills. Get any of your 4th Job AoE skill and you'll do just fine leveling up. If you're curious as to what and how's the proper way to play EM and rotating your skills, go to this [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Skill_Rotation|section]] of the guide.

# Gather '''EXP gears''' such as {{#item:24770}}, {{#item:24683}}, {{#item:2195}}, {{#item:490374}}, and {{#item:490375}} before starting your level grind. These gears will help you level up even faster and they are fairly cheap if you craft or farm them yourself too.

# Prepare your '''progression gears''' such as {{#item:26118}}, {{#item:550012}}, {{#item:15377}}, {{#item:20934}}, {{#item:450128}}, and {{#item:470023}}. These progression gears are the pieces of equipment that will help you level up at each stages of the game. If for x50 Experience Rate these gears are barely used, here you will the need to use them so you can level up faster and easier.

As an act of courtesy, at least provide an {{#item:17608}}[GFW] to the leecher and I'm pretty sure by this point you have collected enough {{#item:50000}} either from opening {{#item:50001}} or daily log-in rewards. You can purchase a GFW from the Muh Coin shop. You'll need to exchange 18 Muh Coins for 180 Muh Points. To do this, talk to the '''NPC''' '''Rich Cow''' {{#navi:main_office|87|59}} in the '''Main Office''' ('''@go 15''').
