Okay. In a day or so, I'm going to be a level 50 cleric, and I wanted to know if my equips were okay. Hat : 2 INT 1 LUK Aqua Golden Circlet. Earring : 6 INT 6 M.Attack Red Emerald Earrings. Cape : 9 INT 6 M.Attack Purple Adventurer Cape. Overall : 4 INT Dark Calas. Glove 2 INT 1 M.Attack Yellow Work Gloves (Yeah, I need to upgrade. But to what?). Weapon: 70 M.Attack 0 slot Cromi (Switching to 8 INT 95 M.Attack Maple Shine Wand at 64). Shoes : 3 INT Green Goldwind Shoes. Shield : Esther Shield with 1 INT. Am I doing okay currently? What equips should I focus on updating first? When the time comes, I'm going to be switching to a good scrolled magicodar, but if there is some other weapon I should switch to, what should it be? And then, is the 8 INT 95 M.Attack Maple Shine Wand a decent weapon? And the last question, should I still be at wraiths and Zombie Lupins at 50, or where should I be training now? I will not be doing PQs of any type. Thanks.

yes you are doing fine. Upgrade in this order, weapon>earrings>helmet>overall>gloves>shoes>other accessories. Also getting a zhelm if you can afford one would be nice. Also if you didnt, go ahead and cap your luk now and get a shine wand or wisdom staff. The weapon you said is pretty decent. You can go to wraiths at this level for sure and when you get to 54~55 go for slimies and stay there till priest. Happy Mapling.

At 6x, he wont be having enough accuracy to hit himes(he might be able to but chances to miss are like 90%+), so most probably he might end up in getting no exp and wasting mesos for the pots. Also I dindnt ask him to buy the overall, I asked him to upgrade, what he has, with scrolls. The reason I put overall before gloves is that its largest source of int, whereas gloves are not.

I have many friends which had done that and had a great %/hour, plus, I've heard it alot around Basil. Also I dindnt ask him to buy the overall, I asked him to upgrade, what he has, with scrolls.

1. Ok, first things first, you should not buy int scrolls in fm, use basil auctions, you could easily find one for 11~12 mill, go check it yourself 2. Next I agree with you the fact that people go for himes at a lower level, but they dont have the perfect accuracy to hit them all the time(atleast most of the time) and what happens is himes being lvl 100 monster and you wont get any exp if you fail to hit it. So all you will be doing is luring the mob and heal the attacker, while wasting pots and getting measle exp. Its strongly not recommended unless you are funded. The best level range would be 72+. 3. Common INT overalls (sauna or a bath robe) cost way more than a regular mage overall, also INT is always better than magic attack INT=1 magic att and 1 magic def, also the mp a character gets upon levelling will be more if a char has higher int. So it might be better for lukless to upgrade gloves first, but for normal luk, higher int overall is the best to have first.

1. Are you kidding, link 2.At 6x, you wont even have 20% accuracy, It's a huge pot burn, when you dont get enough exp. 3.Yes int gives magical accuracy bonus combined with luk and you never said m.att>int, but from what you said, it's implied that one should go for m.att rather than int overall by upgrading gloves first. Mage int overalls are easier to upgrade since they already have int in it and can be the best source of int for someone who is low luk.

C) Did I even mention the possibility of him failing most of the scrolls, going bankrupt with a crap overall? 2.At 6x, you wont even have 20% accuracy, It's a huge pot burn, when you dont get enough exp.

'x' amount of Magic would do the same amount of damage difference now than at level 100, or 200. As you said, unlike other damage formulas, our Int : M. Atk ratio range doesn't increase.
