Hi mages, I am level 41 now, with 3SP to spare. I already have 30thunderbolt, and 1teleport; currently training at truckers. I can choose to go either the Meditation Build, which makes me start Cold Beam at level48, maxing at 58 (late), or I pump cold beam right now, maxed at level50 for LMPQ. Remember that if I level now, I've gotta put 3 MPE if I go medi; or should I just get 3 MPE to save some MP @ truckers? Thanks for the advice!

If you have mesos to spare, go Cold Beam, you can make up for meditation with the NLC potions. If you don't have that many mesos to fool around with, go MPE/Meditation to get a cheaper damage boost and a MP saving tool.

When I was making my I/L I chose Medi over Cold Beam. Ice is kinda useless, IMO.

Cold Beam > Composition with an Ele wand I believe. Meditation is replaceable
