Ok so here's the deal, I am currently lvl 90 and am regular luk Mage (ice lightning) anyways, next month nx comes to Australia and I was going to fund a fighter/Aran buut weapon attack gloves are grossly overpriced, so I will focus all the nx I buy onto my Mage. What I would like to know is how I should upgrade my equips :/ by next month I plan on lvl 100 (can play 1 day a week ya see) and at lvl 103 I will purchase an elemental staff 4 and 3 if I have leftover money (for training purposes until 4th job) anyways my question is what should I upgrade and think about getting? I do plan on lvl 120 and I would like to get equips for lvl 110+ with this nx. My equips so far are: 16/15/15/14 zHelm Speilgmanns necklace 1/1/1/1 (gonna get a dep star soon, once I get a BF toe) 4 Zombie Rings 8 speed mouse kit 3 INT 5 M attack 4 slots earrings 119 M Attack 5 INT Kage Esther Shield 1 INT clean lvl 88 overall clean lvl 90 Gloves clean lvl 90 Shoes Maple Cape (lvl 70) that should be it, sorry if I have missed anything, but yea, suggestions and price approximation please I will be purchasing 100k or more nx, so that's my boundries thanx in advance.

I dont know how much the nx:meso ratio is in GMS, so ill keep it cheap since u want a ele wand. -Well, u could do mulung dojo for blue+ belt, if you get a black, its a free 5int boost. (Or scroll a black with 100% = 8int). -Since i dont play GMS, i dont know how much a bigfoot too will cost. If too much, try getting accesory scrolls from rockspirit boss / dual raid (with mule) and try scrolling your necklace. -Buy 10 100% overall int scrolls from the maple b-day event cake. Easy 14-17int overall. -Try buying a 6-10 int cape, shoudnt be too much. Good luck

hat - is fine pendent- u need a dep star or MoN overall- u can find a cheap level 78+ overall with 22-24 int for 7k-10k of nx shoes- use maker to get urself a good int shoes gloves- u can buy 30% and 70% magic attack gloves to scroll shield- get a maple shield with 3 int and scroll with shield magic attack weapon- get a elemental wand 3(elemental staff 3 is just 20 extra magic attack and after big bang ull end up switching to elemental staff 4 anyway) so buy elemental staff 4 for after big bang cape- buy urself a puac with good int and magic attack i could generalize this around at less 30k+ nx min to depending how u upgrade or equips effectivly.

I'm not too good with mage upgrading but, you should probably get some broken glasses and 60% eye int scroll them (only about 1-2m each). What the first poster said about the black belt, what the second poster said in general, and finish those earrings o-o (no need to leave them 4 slot forever?). Then if you're feeling lucky... potential your stuff and cube it like mad.

Thanx guys, how much is a HTP? And my earrings are level 15 ones, I feel I could benefit more by getting potential lvl 80 + earrings with % int, correct? And should I potential all my equips after I get them?

Since you're regular LUK, you should definitely get Maker Skill and plan on creating Reverse Equipment when you reach 4th job. An eWand would obviously be a great addition. As for anything else, 3% INT with Hidden Potential will do a lot to boost your M.ATK. Much more so than anything you would get from any individual INT equipment.

So when I get my nx, I will hold off potentialling till I'm 120, and have my. Lvl 120 overall, and I'll potential all my stuff (should I pot my zHelm?) including my ele staff :/ then cube until I get nice stats. On the cape topic also , should I just get a high level cape? Like 80+? And potential it for INT%?

You can potential your Zhelm, but don't unless you can replace it right away should it blow up. I have an eWand7 for my I/L and after paying 530 mil for it, I would not risk potentialling it. Others might, but I won't. As for cape, I like the Purple Gaia for an INT cape. You can get 3% INT on a rare Purple Gaia. Mages do quite a bit of damage in the 4th job, so I don't think that potentialling is as important for us as it is with melee and ranged classes. My Hero has lots of potentialled equipment. My mages have next to nothing.
