    2) NightScream Island (South Region) (Pirate Minions : Lvl 76) [couldn't find them]

    At your higher 60s:
    1) NightScream Island (North Region) (Chief Assassin : Lvl 80 ) [couldn't find them too]

    At lvl 70 Onwards:
    1) East of Cave of Sadistic Glee (Rocken wolves : Lvl 8X) [just found demonic Rogueknight]
    (Wolves can be done in trio squad, 1Puller 1cleric 1Wiz! But pls do have at least 3k hp, TT70 +3 or higher and at least lvl 6 DB)

    I quoted spots you suggested where me and my friends could think to Zhen. Well... I couldnt find this nightscream island (i tried to check mobs coords on PW DB but coords given were out of map), and also close to sadistic glee i didnt find any kind of wolves...

    Any other spot? or a suggestion to fin that island? xD

    Nightscream island is not a island u can see on the map. You have to proceed to dreamweaver port, then take the boat ! You will see that one of e boats will have a portal.

    As for rocken wolves its nearby b:laugh im at work again. So i cant find coords. ill be sure to help u get it when i get home. BUT in the meantime if anyone can input some coords ill be grateful b:thanks

    Also i tried Ultrafin at my current lvl 86.. god .. roughly get 2.5%-3% with ESO ! But do get some good money, 130k. Only problem with this place is the mobs are pretty scattered. You do see 3-4 together, but once u are done with em, u gotta swim quite abit to get to e next group < waste of time > b:bye

    Another guide that makes me happy that i am a wizard. xD

    Nice Guide tbh. Im sure you put alot of hard work in it but i have one wish..

    COME TO HARSHLAND!!!!

    Lol GJ.
    ~! Pkers Cons !~
    Pking Noobs = Raging Noobs = Noobs get high level ( Also feeling sorry that level 30's getting pked by 80s+ = Them same Noobs that was being pked and now is a higher level Thurst bang them same high levels that were pking them = Hurting the Clans that pk low level noobs because in the long run them same noobs might would of want to join your faction but now they think otherwise and go to another faction.

    This is the life line i will live.

    You don't need 3k HP. You can do gamma perfectly fine as an arcane with about 2.4k unbuffed HP. That's with gear that's fully sharded with garnets (well, maybe one or two citrines somewhere). ToP is almost never needed if you have a good barb, SW might be used once, if your charm ticks more than twice something's wrong with the RB.

    Also, bring along cauterize for the lulz. No bleed = good.

    Thank you so much b:victory yea i did put in alot of effort. A nice guide to help all. Everyone talks about how to build wiz , but no one talks about e process.

    Also about gamma. with 2.4khp it'de be pretty dangerous if u steal alot of aggro from wraiths. Also you are banging on the fact that the barb is good which u said , and not ticking more than twice?

    To say u can rely on ur barb so well that u will only tick twice is possible, but not always , right ? If u can assure that ur barb is so pro then yes 2.4khp is sufficient with pdef shards. But on the norm/average, pls do get around 3k HP for LA. For arcane, u can mix up pdef. shard and citrine shards.

    Im positive I can say "you can nvr say u will be 100% successful in a gamma" . Sometimes ppl DC, then u gotta tank more, sometimes barbs hit wrong hotkey resulting in loss of aggro, sometimes ppl aint on the right form, and they do make mistakes. Its not wrong to have the bonus hp/def to make up for mistakes other ppl might make, you may not make mistakes but you cant guarantee for others.

    Cryxtal I have a favor to ask. Toss this on the wiki too since some people (me) tend to look their first for guides like this anymore.

    Honestly, if you're stealing aggro from the barb, yell for them to aoe and unequip your weapon. Your damage should drop around 75% or so and they can easily take back aggro with another burst-aggro skill.

    normally i just drop DB to lose aggro ! I always make sure i have 2 sparks before each stage... so when i steal too much, i cancel DB and start it up once barb gets back aggro.

    I dun wanna add 'shouting at barbs to get back aggro' as part of my guide cause this guide is supposed to be simple/safe and idiot proof. Techniques such as dropping DB / disarming weapons / whens the best time to use BIDS for fire wave , all will be left out of this guide as there are techniques u come to find out for yourselves over time. I'de like this guide to remain as simple and safe so that people who are doing it at a non-experienced level can survive well enough without much hassle.

    ...so you're basically completely removing the finesse that comes with handling a wizard in this "guide?"

    Well, that certainly explains some things.

    EDIT: There is no idiot-proof guide. Anything you can possibly say can be misinterpreted or otherwise twisted into oblivion by idiots.

    I'm a New mage and Found this Grinding guide Helpful. I Noticed a Gap between LvL 37 and 39. Just goofing around I found These Mobs. One is for LvL 38 and the other is a Better Option then the LvL 41 Native Vipions you purpose I think.

    LvL 38
    Pinnaflop Foxwings (Fire) 259, 352

    LvL 41
    Foxwing of The Void (Fire) 259, 352

    Both of these provide decent XP and Spirit. Drops are not to bad either Mostly Coin and Claws with some Leather added in and pots.

    I would also like to mention a lvl 45 Alternative to the Life and Focus Powders that was not mentioned by you Cryxtal that would benefit others. At Lvl 45 with the Apo Skill lvl 3 you can make Flourish Orbs This Replaces Both life and Focus Powders with only one Pot needed and does the same thing as both in one shot for the same length of time.

    I Do have a a Small question though.

    I have doubled up on my crafting skill's I have gone for the Apo and Smith Skills. Both Skills are at lvl 3 how ever I am lacking in finding rough leather and Concentrated Glues. Being lvl 41 as I am now, Locating these Items for crafting of Magic weapons is Difficult. I am using more Life and Focus powders then it is worth on low lvl mobs Such as Lupine berserkers and the Hexwraith outside of Allied camp.

    So My question is this:
    Is there a Mob around my lvl that drops these items and if so what location can I find them?

    epic zhen guide lol good work
    So what if we have bad HP, we're Chuck Norris in the damage department!!!!! b:pleased

    If your going into an fb and the Barb screams "LEEROY JENKINS" as he runs into the cave, leave the party. It's only going to get worse from then on.b:shocked

    Sorry if I missed it, but what Pdef would you say would be good for a wizard to gamma at 70? Also what DB level would be good so I don't steal all agro ._. I have a +4 Sak light with 2 imacs if that makes any difference in what level I should level my DB to. I'm arcane by the way, thanks :D,

    @Maestro: DB at level 7 or higher is plenty good. Get Fire Mastery at 10 as well for optimal damage output. As an arcane, you can shoot for 1.8k pdef unbuffed (translates into 5.6k pdef buffed, 8.2k pdef with max'd def aura)

    And if the barb is anywhere near competent, you'll probably not have to worry about stealing aggro as in being in danger. You WILL steal aggro sometimes if the barb isn't optimal, but it won't hurt.

    Well im a LA wiz ! and my pdef self buffed lead me to have around 58% pdef at lvl 70.. If u are arcane i guess u shld have around 40% pdef self buffed.


    Try to look at the % pdef reduction , looking at the numbers itself dont give u a good gauge. Also my DB was at lvl 8 and i did pretty well, considering im just LA. Since u are arcane , meaning higher DD, i think 7 is sufficient for u .

    2700 HP for arcane at 80 is quite decent , but I hope is unbuffed. I think I was around that value too.
    I don't remember my pdef value, but I never had any problems in TW/RB.
    Full deff aura was giving me about 11k pdef so no problems in that regard.

    Get some event food (2500 HP restore) and some Dew of God Protection apothecary and you're going to sail through the double wave. Nothing else poses a threat really, unless someone fks up, and in that case there is not enough HP or PDEF to save you anyway :D

    Just wanted to say tht during the fire wave in GV gamma DB will only be hitting for 300-400. If your auras have been set right you should have at least 2sparks and 99chi by fire wave.

    Drop DB and distance shrink out of the Zhen, then drop BIDS use hailstorm for aoe damage+chi. run back in the zhen and put DB back up. Tht strategy gets my squad through fire wave faster.
