Good day, Im looking for a general concensus on which pots you archmages use for spamming your ultimates. I am currently one of your newest AM's as you can see Im quite used to my bishop which consumes not too many potions anymore. Please share, what pots you use/recommend for varying levels of your ultimate as I will be aiming to max mine as soon as I can. I appreciate any help I can get on this matter thank you, and feel free to add any advice or insight you might have on archmagedom.

This has nothing to do with your question but what does am stand for?

I think that all AMs (ArchMages) use Mana Bulls for their MP. (If that's what you're asking.)

mine is about 1.6k in 4 hours with a hb mule like 2.6k without hb at skeles you pretty much just double the amount of pots your bishop uses and you should just use mana bulls. When i solo i've been using a pot per blizz since i make my pet use a mana bull everytime my mp gets below 100% o_O

I used Ginger Ales. I have 10,382 MP. My Blizzard is Lv. 5. 1st cast: down to 5k 2nd cast: down to 382 MP. Repot. 1st cast: down to around 7.5k MP. Repot. 1st Cast: down to 5k MP 2nd Cast: ..etc. Works better than Mana Bulls for me.. I use around 550 Ginger Ales per hour. That's 2,090,000 mesos. If I used Bulls, I'd use around 825 per hour, which is 2,310,000 mesos + HP potions.

*confused* I'm not quite sure if this was an insult or not. Re-reading my original post, I can see there is a run-on sentence, but either way, it doesn't matter. @Diarrheaboy can you remember what kind of potions you used when you began your archmage, and what kind of MP you had? My current stats are DaFrknFP level 120 F/p archmage 10741 mp

I've had the same pot settings since 120. Ginger ales in auto MP and barbarian/unaga on auto HP.

My current stats are DaFrknFP level 120 F/p archmage 10741 mp" i maxed mp increase at lvl 30 i think i had around 9k-10k mp, i tried to make it around 1 per per cast i used mana bulls mostly since i was at newts and didn't get hit much i'd carry around 2.4k mana bulls ,300 ginger roots and 150 barbs i've been using the same type of pots since 120 but at skeles i need to carry 600 barb i use the roots when i get hit since its more convenient

Better than average on the scrolling. Not the best out there, but it gets me from point A to point B. now that we're set on the potions. Those of you that use auto-potting, Please share what your settings are. Im kinda afraid If i change them from what my bishop uses, Ill forget where they were. I havent changed them in over a year.
