Introduction
Hello, I'm Maikoa, one of the few insane people who decided "Magic AC is fun and I'm going to main it." I've played multiple MMOs throughout my life, RO being the very first. I don't play it as my main game anymore currently but you'll see me talk in the Discord a lot either hating on someone or helping new people who need stuff clarified.
Why make a guide, you ask? well, better have one than none, amirite? [insert smug dog pic here]
"But you don't play it as your main game anymore" Well, this was a long overdue guide and I decided to just finish it recently. I still hop on to the game from time to time to do some farming so I guess I still have some credibility
Stats/Traits
Farming (Niflheim Floor 2, Mjolnir's Underground Cave, Biosphere: Temple)
NOTE: These can also apply to areas before said locations, I just put them there because they are currently the trinity of best farm areas
These are stats you use should for general farming when there's actually no hard mob to kill you or you basically 1 shot every mob already.

End Game (Varmundt's Biosphere: Depths and Varmundt's Biosphere: Depths Abyss)

| Middle | Cor Core Booster (410091) / Cor Core Booster [1] (410092) or

"Why Magic Sword-LT?" - It gives you a really well rounded stats that Abyss Chaser really wants + you have access to autocasting Psychic Wave which is a good bonus damage increase |

 Brilliant Light Sapphire Ring [1] (490064)
|
Brilliant Light Accessories | Look for the following Enchants:  Destructive Evil Lv3 (310254) ,  Happiness Lv3 (310224)
(I'm not gonna suggest to try and find more than lvl 3 because this is basically a midgame accessory and we don't want you spending your hard earned zeny on something you will replace later on, however, if you do get more than Lvl 3, just keep it) |

Late/End Game
| Type | Gear | Where to Get | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper | +12A  Vesper Headgear [1] (19436)
|
Equipment Crafting | Sadly, we can't use Time Dimension Rune Crown because we're magic but Vesper is the best we can do. Can go +14 based on preference |
| Middle |  Gambler's Seal [1] (410233)
|
Alice Twisted Madness | Really good flexible middle slot; Enchants to aim for: 9-10% increases all property magical damage, 9-10 S.MATK, 9-10% MATK |
| Lower |  Ace of Spades in Mouth (Magical) (420213)
|
Alice Twisted Madness | Pretty straightforward combo with Gambler's Seal, Ideal enchants are +5 Int/Vit + +7 S.MATK/+7% Increases all property magical damage |
| Armor | +12A  Soul Purification Rune Robe [1] (450280) or
+12A |
Varmundt's Biosphere Depth(Soul Purification Rune Robe)
Constellation Tower (Nebula Robe of Spell) |
Soul Purification Rune Robe Enchants:  Soul Purification Rune 10Lv (312374) ,  Purification Rune 5Lv (312364) ,  Soul Rune 5Lv (312359)
Nebula Robe of Spell Enchants: Why SPRR: Hands down the best damage and defensive armor with the current patch Why Nebula Robe of Spell: You're future-proofing for the upcoming HOL update because it becomes BIS by then |
| Weapon | +12A  Flush Jewel Detector Mk47 [2] (510077) or
+12A |
Einbech Weapons (Flush Jewel Detector Mk47)
Issgard Equipment (Dim Glacier) |
Flush Jewel Detector Mk47 Enchants:  Expert Magician Lv5 (311393) ,  After Attack Delay Lv5 (311394)
Dim Glacier Rogue Knife Enchants: Why Flush over Dim Glacier: Gives overall higher damage, extra Abyss Square 60% Damage is not to be sneezed at since it's our main damage source Why Dim Glacier over Flush: Well, because you're a cheapo, basically or you wanted the bonus +1SPL/CON and +3S.MAtk at +14/+15 |
| Shield | +12A  Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020)
|
Alice Twisted Madness | Enchants:  Attack Speed Lv.3 (310856) / Magical Lv.3 (310872) / HP Lv.3 (310875)
Very well rounded shield which gives us all of the stats we want as AC. "But why these enchants" you ask? AC doesn't really use VCT as much unless you like hard casting like me, but then again, you just get it from other sources. We have no use for ACD, our main damage is a 3 second cooldown when casted. no amount of ACD is going to save us from that |
| Garment | +12A  Death Rune Manteau [1] (480233)
|
Varmundt's Biosphere |  Varmundt's Crystal(Glade) Lv5 (311876) ,  Spell of Varmundt Lv3 (310925) ,  INT+5 (4714)
Note: 2nd slot enchants of Death Rune Manteau is pure preference. I like this the most so I suggested it |
| Shoes | +12A  Moan of Corruption [1] (470204)
|
Equipment Crafting | Best Magic-based Boots in the game, hands down. If you're not using this, it's probably because you're using drop rate boots. If not, just put the fries in the bag, lil bro |
| Accessory
(Right) |
 Temple Rune Ring [1] (490304) or
|
Varmundt's Biosphere (Temple Rune Ring)

Stellar Spell Seal Enchants: Why TRR? D A M A G E Why Stellar Spell Seal? Future proofing as usual or you like the VCT like me because you like to cast Abyss Square from time to time Note: 2nd slot enchants of TRR is pure preference. I like these the most so I suggested them |
| Accessory
(Left) |
 Temple Magic Ring [1] (490307)
|

| Type | Card | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Upper |  Plaga Card (27310) ,  Katrinn Card (4366)
MVP Pick: |
You can use Katrinn card if you like casting. Purely optional pick. Otherwise, Neutral Damage good
MVP Reason: Ultra Limacina - SMATK per 3 Refine = GOOD, Vesper - Combos with your BIS Headgear, Fenrir - MATK per Refine = GOOD |
| Middle |  Plagarion Card (300251) ,  Elite Rgan Healer Card (300459)
MVP Pick: N/A |

| Weapon |  Jormungandr Guardian Card (300460) ,  Copo Card (300455) ,  Mutating White Knight Card (27384)
MVP Pick: N/A |
Jormungandr Guardian is top notch, a lot of Neutral DMG %, Combo with Elite Rgan Healer Card, Copo/MWK Card are standard size modifiers. Always a good choice to have at least one |

if shield isn't +12 MVP Pick: |
More %DMG Mitigation = Better survivability
MVP Reason: Earthquake? Denied |
| Garment |  One Eye Dollocaris Card (300375)
if garment isn't +12 MVP Pick: |
More Neutral DMG%

| Shoes |  Icewind Card (300458) ,  Nightmare Verit Card (4658)
MVP Pick: |
Icewind combos with Copo, only use when using Copo, otherwise, Nightmare Verit is good as is

| Accessory
(Right) |
 Icebear Card (300470)
MVP Pick: |
Icebear... Neutral DMG +25%. not much else to say
MVP Reason: Only if you really like casting Abyss Square otherwise, no other recommendation. USE ONLY 1 |
| Accessory
(Left) |
 Ashhopper Card (300218)
MVP Pick: |
Ashhopper... Neutral DMG +35%. not much else to say |
