* At this point, your exp book should be about to expire. Try to get in another Illusion of Vampire quest, so you get enough skill points to max {{#skill:5429}}. Once you get it, your next priority is leveling to 210 using this new skill. Dump all your trait points into SPL and you'll see that you're easily doing double the damage you were doing before, and now in a big area. You can try Illusion of Teddy Bear until 210. The rest of your leveling will happen as you farm to improve your gear, so that's it for this section. | * At this point, your exp book should be about to expire.

== | == Gear and farming progression == | ||
Mage classes gear progression is already well covered in several guides, so in this guide I'll just give you my idea of what's best to get at every step, with the goal of getting the most bang for your buck at every turn and farming efficiently. Keep in mind that farming efficiently requires the use of {{#item:12264}}, so you'll need to get your hands on {{#item:25223}}early on. Gefenia and Old Thanatos are good places to get some, along with some very important early zeny. | |||
=== Earlygame === | === Earlygame === | ||
This is | ==== Get yourself a {{#item:550069}} ==== | ||
Enchant it with {{#item:311343}}, {{#item:311353}}, {{#item:311351}} and {{#item:311349}}'''.''' You won't be able to farm this yourself yet, but use the #trade channel to purchase one from players. Without upgrades, it's really cheap to make (should be around 3-4m). At +9 it will cost around 10m to 15m. This weapon will last you until the late midgame, so it's a great investment. Farm zeny in Gefenia or Thanatos while getting Eden Coins if you don't have enough. | |||
An easy thing to farm at this point is {{#item:985}}. The best option is to farm Istana Cave in Dewata, but you can also get a lot by converting {{#item:6223}} that you get from Illusion of Vampire, by talking to Vurewell at @go 50. Converting carries a fee, so it will eat a bit of your profit margin. | |||
==== | ==== Improve your Fixed Cast Time ==== | ||
This is such a big QoL upgrade that no matter what I say it's going to be an understatement. Keep in mind you need to be level 230 to use the recommended shoes, so you might want to dedicate some time to farming Illusion of Twins or Illusion of Labyrinth first, as suggested next. | |||
You're gonna need to get shoes with 1s FCT reduction. My recommendation nowadays is to buy {{#item:450268}} from the player market. You'll usually find a lot of them. If you can get a +10 pair for around 5m to 8m, that's ideal. If not, get at least +9. After you got the shoes, you'll need a friendly player that has already done episode 20 to help you with the enchants. Buy 20 {{#item:1000812}} and 30 {{#item:1001217}} and ask someone in #global chat to do the FCT enchant for you. | |||
You' | |||
For the other 0.5s of FCT, try to get a combination of any of these options: | |||
*{{#item:490052}} and {{#item:490053}} set plus{{#item:25170}}. | |||
*{{#item:1001052}}with {{#item:25842}}. | |||
*{{#item:25170}} with {{#item:1000521}}. | |||

If you've been following what I said up until now, you should be missing a few gear pieces. To farm these, I recommend spending Eden Coins on {{#item:12264}}. As you've seen, it's not hard to get them and they'll save you a lot of time. | If you've been following what I said up until now, you should be missing a few gear pieces.

# Your middle and lower headgear don't provide THAT much in terms of damage. You probably want to run Poring Village and Wave Mode instances, looking for {{#item:19117}} and {{#item:23135}} respectively. That 10% drop rate will come in handy later. For Poring Village, you can just create a bunch of characters and run it repeteadly. Don't worry too much if {{#item:19117}} doesn't drop the first day, as it is a low chance. Just keep running it. Wave Mode is also a good source of Fashion Points (by recycling the costume stones the chests drop), and you'll need those later, so don't mind dedicating 1 whole hour to running it. | # Your middle and lower headgear don't provide THAT much in terms of damage.

# Finish your illusion items. Your {{#item:460018}} and {{#item:19428}} become much more powerful once you make them +11 and add double {{#item:29001}} to them. The cheapest way to make lv1 armors such as these into +11 is to | # Finish your illusion items. Your {{#item:460018}} and {{#item:19428}} become much more powerful once you make them +11 and add double {{#item:29001}} to them. The cheapest way to make lv1 armors such as these into +11 is to first make them +10 and then use {{#item:6225}} and normal refining to make them +11. You have a small risk of them breaking, but this will not destroy the item. IF they do break, you can repair them for a 5 million zeny fee. Now the cheapest way to obtain {{#item:6225}} is to acquire 4500 Muh points and buy the box of 10 from the Muh Shop, since the box will also give you back 1 {{#item:6635}}, which is pretty valuable. To get the points, either donate to the server or buy {{#item:50003}} or {{#item:50000}} from players. You can also get {{#item:50000}} from hourly events and GM sponsored events, although this will take a while. You can turn {{#item:50000}} into points using the Rich Cow NPC at Main Office. | ||
Once you made both pieces +11, you'll want to head over to {{#navi:prontera|92|114}} to enchant them. Do random enchant twice, and if you didn't get any {{#item:29001}}, reset the item completely. Once you get one {{#item:29001}}, you'll want to use the option to only reset the bad enchant, which costs more {{#item:25271}}. This can cost thousands of {{#item:25271}} to get both items finished, so you might want to settle for just 1 {{#item:29001}} per item for now, and come back to it later. | Once you made both pieces +11, you'll want to head over to {{#navi:prontera|92|114}} to enchant them.
