** If you're new to the class and you have barely to zero resources and you don't have any friends, take the hard route of leveling up with your skills. It may be slow but at least you'll be able to practice how to properly rotate your skills. As a Sorcerer, you are always harder to die. Why? Well because you have your own lil' <span style="color:green;">Ventus</span> to accompany you.

* Now, if this isn't your first character and you have some zeny to spare and you wanna skip 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}}''' 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 have a bit of CD but PW is gonna 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. | * Now, if this isn't your first character and you have some zeny to spare and you wanna skip 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}}.

Generally, magical classes follow the same path of progression, and they only differ with their choice of weapon, and upper headgear. Choi has made a [https://wiki.muhro.eu/index.php?title=Choi%27s_Guide_To_Magic&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop thorough guide] for all things about a magical user's progression towards end game. In this guide, we'll be focusing more on the Elemental Master's side of progression with core gears that an EM would need for leveling during the early stages of the game to its mid game and then finally end game. '''This section will also be told for the perspective of people new to the game''' and if this happens to be your 2nd or 3rd time to play a magic-based character then you can freely switch some of the gear recommendations per stages or skip that stage entirely. | Generally, magical classes follow the same path of progression, and they only differ with their choice of weapon, and upper headgear.

The gears that will be listed under the '''early game''' section are those that will be used for early leveling. Early game gears will be divided into '''3 subcategories''': '''Part I''' , '''Part II''' , and '''Part III'''. In '''Part I''', you begin your gear progression with the Advanced Paradise Set you used for leveling and you are expected to do the Episodic Quests. With the Grace set you had just gotten from Episode 17.1, you will be farming for raw zeny mostly in places like [[Thanatos_Tower_Revamp|Thanatos Tower Flr. 12]], while doing the quests for Episode 17.2 and Episode 18 to get you ready for the next set of gears for Part II. Most of the gears here are obtained from Episode 17.2 and Episode 18, that's why the sooner you finish the episodic quests the closer you approach | The gears that will be listed under the '''early game''' section are those that will be used for early leveling.

'''Part II''' routine is almost similar to '''Part I''' where you will again farm for zeny to gear yourself up. Upon reaching '''Part III''' of gear progression, this is where you'll start to craft gears which you will continue to use 'til late game such as {{#item:540079}}and {{#item:470204}}. You'll also be able to start farming popular dungeons such as [[Niflheim|Niflheim 2]] and [[Clock Tower Unknown Basement]]. | ||
In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the end game stage. Mid game gears will also serve as the base gears that will let you farm certain areas where those aforementioned resources are dropped such as [[Mjolnir Underground Cave]], and [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere|Varmundt's Biosphere]]. | In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the end game stage.
