int = 1 m.attack +1 m. accuracy + 1 m.defense Int is better, but you want some of both.

As much as possible of both, but 1 INT adds a tiny bit more damage than 1 Matk (when I say tiny I really do mean tiny, 1 INT on its own in the magic damage formula = ~3 damage on my CL max while 1 Matk adds ~40, but because 1 INT adds 1 Matk as well, it's more like ~43 on my max).

Look for Int and M.atk. You want the best total Magic, Int+M.atk, for the best cost efficiency. You should also have preference of Int over M.atk. So if two items have the same Magic, the one with more Int is better.

Ok, what these people have said previously is mostly correct. In general terms, int=MA, however int gives a very very very minute advantage (1 accuracy/defense) Therefore, generally a combination of int/ma gives the greatest cost efficiency, but To be honest, it doesn't matter which. One example is earrings. We generally just say 15 stat earrings, as opposed to 7/6 because it doesn't matter.

On my bishop I try and find higher INT equipts for maple warrior. Maple warrior doesn't work on Matk but does wonders on increasing your int and the higher you int the more you get! @above: you correct but later in levels when you have 600+ int it starts to really add up

@im213374 I generalized your point into "Int = better". Or was that too vague and simple for you to understand. More Mp is not the main reason for why Int > M.atk. It is a good reason but not the main reason. All the reasons together make the main reason, for most players. The reason why this wasn't pointed out because that isn't what the thread starter asked for. This thread asks "What do Magicians need on equips, Int and/or M.atk?". The thread doesn't ask "Why is Int better than M.atk?" So glad you were being on-topic and not just randomly spamming while not randomly wrongfully criticizing other posters. Ot: If you only care about your damage, then it doesn't really matter if you have more Int or more M.atk as long as you have more total Magic(Int+M.atk). You should get the one that is more cost efficient for damage.
