Contacts ---------- Note anything with a ~ by the name of it, is still being worked on, or not in the game yet. ~~~~~~ 1. Introduction ~~~~~~ Alright, Well, my name is Scott, My priston tale name is Vaxinuk, many times I found myself looking for a guide on how to play a Magician, and I never found one! Which really dissappointed me. So finally I decided since my Internet is down, that I'd just take some time to make this nice lil' guide for anyone who is intrested in learning a bit about Magicians. Anyways, I'll Keep this guide very easy to follow and understand, none of this fancy dancy language stuff! hehe. Also if You want to find a section in my guide on something that you see on the Table of Contents just copy the words and push Ctrl+F and paste the exact thing from the table of contents and you'll be tooken right to where you want to be...hopefully -crosses fingures that it does- *note that it only works if veiwing in a web browser* ~~~~~~~ 2. Controls ~~~~~~~ The Controls in this Game are very basic, but at the start it does take some time to getuse to of the controls. I'll explain on what each key does... alot of this is very self explainitory, so i'll be breif on some. W - The "W" Key changes your weapon from weapon one and weapon two (Note that this does changeyour shield as well),this is usefull for when you have a one handed weapon and a two handed weapon you want to keep on you all times ( I use a Dryad wand in one spot and a Templar sword in the other...just because templar sword looks cool lol) E - The "E" Key changes your inventory screen from inventory 1 to inventor 2, usefull when hunting and it says that your inventory is full, just hit E and try pickin it up again. D - Party / Friends List S - Shows Skills/Spell Screen Esc - Closes current window, and when none are open gives u the option of quiting or help C - Character menu V - Inventory window Enter - Opens chat box Ctrl + Home - Screen Shot (YaY!) Arrow Keys - Changes camara Angle Z - Camara Actions 1,2 and 3 - are your belt slots, for quick potion use ... saves your life A lot! ~~~~~~~ 3. Why Play a Cros...Magician? ~~~~~~~ Well...Could be many of reasons for you wanting to play as a magician, one because you think crossdresser are cool, or because later on their outfits they have look fricken awesome!(which is very true) but of course that does depend on the playin style you choose to play as a magician, played in many different ways Magicians can be the best or the worst of the others, main reason I made a Magician is that they are able to kill hard monsters at a lower level (a lot of the other people can too, but easier wit magician) and the awesome damage a magician can do to a monster. ~~~~~~~ 4. Playin Styles ~~~~~~~ For playing Styles I know about 3 different ways. 1. Awesome Damage, Bad look Pretty much all you do for this is go all out on ur Spirit, but since you do this, you have low health, and a really ugly look, but none the less you'll do a lot of damage. Which i guess makes up for it. 2. Good Damage, Good Look! (this is the one I like) All your really have to do is try to put the points into your stats for your next equipment, and if u don't know what your next equipment is, put the stat points into your spirit and your health (try 3 spirit and 2 health) 3. What were you thinking being a magician?! With this one...have have no idea what the people are doing, because they have a really high STR and a really low Spirit ... if your going to do this, don't be a magician. ~~~~~~~ 5. Pros & Cons ~~~~~~~ Lets start with the Pros: - Good Damage - Good Looks later on in the game - Usefull in hunts Cons: - Easy to die from high level monsters due to lack of defense - If not used correctly, can be completly useless - Some monsters are immune to some spells ~~~~~~~ 6. Spells ~~~~~~~ Or skills ... whatever floats your boat. Please Do note that this area is in work still, Due to the fact that Triglow still hasn't finish all the teirs for EPT. I'll try to get the 4rth Teir in A.S.A.P! ~~~How To Read My Lists~~~ Its easy ...only things that might get someone is my abvieations..

Usage of Stat and skill Points ~~~~~~~ Well...this area depends on what playing style you want (look at the playing styles section for a bit more detail) Style 1. Awesome Damage, bad look Well for this al you have to do with your skill points is put it all into your spirit, and thats it, this will limit everything you can wear to pretty much all the stuff you can get at level 1 but you'll be able to do a lot of damage. Style 2. Good Damage, Good look. Well For this it takes a bit more patience, because you have to have your next armor you want to wear, and from what i have gathered from people we should try to get at least 45-50 str. and then go for what stats we need for our eq, if you don't know what you need, try something like 3 Spirit and 2 of something else you want (I used 3 Spirit and 2 Health a lot). and in the end, you'll look pretty sweet. Style 3. wtf? Exactly what i call it is my question to you, wtf? lol, i guess its a good way to go in some ways, because you'll have a lot of spells to play with for damage as you block, pretty much all it is, is Str and talent for shields. is it really worth it tho? sacrificing damage so you don't have to run around? ....and i thought i was lazy.... ***Alternatives**** ALternative Style 1. Meeh's Stacked Health and Magic. After I hit my head on a solid sheet of steel I decided to post this one... START OFF GETTING TALENT TO 39, then stop putting points into it for the rest of the game (you may want to put more points into it to get more better weapons later in the game). From then on, every level you gain, the stats should go like this. STRENGTH-0 SPIRIT-3 TALENT-0 AGILITY-0 HEALTH-2 this build should end up giving your crossdres-- uh, magician, an insane amount of HP later on (my lvl 27 magician has around 200 HP o_O) and a large amount of spirit as well. Stamina may be a problem, but hey, thats what stamina potions are made for ^^ . Defense shouldn't be a problem when you have so much HP, and a low-level sacrifice will turn a small chip of your massive stockpile of HP into a large amount of mana. ----- Usage of the Skill/spell Points ----- ~Old School~ Alright for this its all the same really. What you want to focus on the most is getting your agony to about level 7 and your Waterado to level 10, death ray to about level 5 (for monsters immune to waterado), but now with this teir 3 comming out Magicians have a new skill that should be pretty cool, Diastrophism, so try to put a few spell points into this spell as well. I'm still not sure about the Energy shield tho. Well... the thought above I'll consider as "old school" now, but now Teir 3 is here and i just got a taste of it (Had to go pay to play, but i think its) worth doing.) Teir 3 Makes Magicians practicly a god of Priston Tale now. So I'll tell you what i did with this... heres my thought on the Spells: ~The new idea~ For level 1-40 Focus on Getting Agony to level 4, and Waternado to level 7, at level 40 take a skill point and put it into Echant weapon, and at lvl 42, take another skill point and put it into death ray, with this, you'll be able to rank up, (don't finish your rank up quest till at least level 43) This way as soon as you rank up you can redistrubute your skills (yea i know, a pain to retrain and costy but its a good idea!), after you redistrubute your skills put 1 Into Diastrophism, 2 into Energy Shield, 6 into Agony, and don't put anymore points into anything else put those 3 skills, level 6 agony should be good enough (it recovers 150 mp a caste for me now), hopefully you should have 1 skill point left, don't get all antsy about using it, because at level 44 you do use it! Put it into your energy shield to bring it to level 3, then at lvl 45 put another point into Diastrophism and keep goin back and forth with the spells till you think your Engery shield is at a high enough level, but try to get the Diastrophism to level 10. You may want to try something else, go for it, and if it goes really well e-mail me telling me what you did. And i'll add it to this section for people to learn other ways as well. (my e-mail is in the Contact area) ~~~~~~~ 8. Hunting Places ~~~~~~~ A) 1-10 ^^^^^^^ For level 1-10... HURRAY FOR HOPPIES! lol, stick to Road to the wind, if you look hard enough you can find these really intense spawns in acirle like room, a lot of monsters spawn at once, so becarefull, butin the end its good exp for your level, or you can find a party after level 5 and go to Valley of Tranquility B) 11-20 ^^^^^^^^ For level 11-20 I went to Acasia Forest to level there with parties, worked really well till night came about and the wolverines came out, but after awhiel you get use to it, and can run from them C) 21-30 ^^^^^^^^ Fore these levels, i leveled in Forest of Spirits, had a blocker to do so, and sometimes i had a party with me too. fast exp, and intense if you like intense fighting. D) 31-40 ^^^^^^^^ For these levels I started to Solo Oasis. ------------ Alternatives ------------ Tenkai's Thought on Leveling ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Get to level 17 in anyway possible, then go to Oasis and hunt there solo. this tatic works till as high of a lvl as you want...or till the exp starts to really suck. (And yes its level 17, i didn't make a mistake!) ~~~~~~~ 9. Hints ~~~~~~~ Okay, in this game I found its a lot of learn as you go, with a magician tho there is a tactic you can use, and its the Hit and run tactic, works great, because if you stand still to take the hits in Oasis chances are you'll die pretty fast so just put some space between you and the monster, shoot a few times and run back and shoot again and so on. and always focus on killing monsters with Range first. There is a water trick in Oasis i can't explain really, but if you watch, you'll see people in it eventually, and most of the time, they'll teach you how to do it easily, just gotta be patient, first time to do it took me 10 min lol. (Its near where you spawn there if u die.) ~~~~~~~ 10. Legal notes ~~~~~~~ This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.
