Hey Basil! I'm planning on making a magician class character & was wondering.. Which ultimate (4th job super skill) is easiest to get a hold of? I've done the Genesis quest & wasn't too fond of that.. involving htpq etc but haven't experienced trying to get Blizzard/Meteor. ATM, I'm leaning towards a Blaze Wizard because it sounds easier to get Meteor.. Thanks!

The quest are all long/hard but Blizzard and Meteor Shower mastery books are cheaper than Genesis mastery books. Blaze Wizard just do the quest w/o skill books/mastery books but don't get it until level 110 (10 levels before max)

The meteor quest for fps is a doddle compared to blizzard and geneses xD Also, meteor mastery books are incredibly cheap compared to the other two.

Genesis is easiest if you manage to punch your guildies/friends hard enough to do HTPQ ;D

F/Ps.. You just have to get the Eye of fire to get it. I/L are second.. you have to get a drop "Frozen Heart" from a monster at el nath which is somewhat a rare drop..

Meteor lol, you just need an eye of fire and the mastery books are cheaper than their counterparts.

go with an evans account ok so dark fog is not till 160 but hits a hell of a lot better than the others only con to dark fog is the 20 seor 40 sec cooldown time but even still u have just about the same non-ultimate skills to use wile it is has its cooldown time

[quote] rairai : Genesis is easiest if you manage to punch your guildies/friends hard enough to do HTPQ ;D [/quote] Nope, F/Ps are the easiest... Keep in mind, as an F/P all you need is the eye of fire which is tradeable. You don't even need to have zak prequests done to get meteor. Genesis is said to be extremely difficult by some, and easy by others, but keep in mind, any time you do something that involves working with 5 other maplers, nothing is guaranteed unless each of them are dedicated/knowledgeable about what they're doing. GL to the people that don't have friends/guildies who fit that description. Blizzard can be a pain in the *beep* if you're unlucky. I spent all night (7 hrs) trying to find blizzard hoping to get to galloperas with it before my drop card starts. 1 hr into my drop card I turned on 2x drop and after 10 minutes it dropped...This one relies completely on luck.

Meteo is ridiculously easier to get compared to other two and don't make a BW, I'm not a Cygnus hater, but F/P is much better compared to BW.

Ima echo everyones statement about Meteor being the easiest, I just used a Eye of Fire from my Marksman to get it, lol.

Meteor is by far the easiest if you already did the Zak quests. All you need is an eye of fire.

Meteor/ Blizz is 570. Factor in evans ele amp for 135% damage and it becomes about 1012. Factor in an AM's amp for 140% damage and meteor/blizz becomes 798, plus an elemental wand for a total of 997 atk power So explain to me again, how exactly is Dark Fog better when it has almost the same power as meteor/ blizz, but with a 20 second cooldown? also yes, meteor is definitley the easiest :P
