Hullo another thread from the noobist wizzard of them all.....


I've been playing a week now and put in some serious hours yet im only lvl 33. I've used exp boosts, blitzed quests and grinded for hours on end yet I dont seem to be getting anywhere fast.

I've already seen lots of the new races surpass me some of which are around lvl 70 so what am i doing wrong ?

I dont really kill anything much higher level than me simply because even though my armour is uptodate (some ***) and my attributes are 1str 9 mag i take serious damage even from mobs that are lvl 25.

Killing level 25 mobs still for some reason takes 4 hits as does lvl 33+ mobs and I take exactly the same damage so im confused. (im maxing skills and buying them as per the guides)

So Would you reccomend sticking out and carrying on till high lvl (thought wizzard would kill mobs fast/ lvl fast) or create a different char like a seeker ? they seem like awesome tankers aswell as very high dps (wizzards actuall dps are ***** poor imo) ?

cheers in advance.

    are you doin your crazy stone daily quest too?
    people are using oracles which is a huge exp boost at your lvl
    and they are also using hyperstones to grind mobs which give a rate of x12 exp for an hour..

    and the people that are gaining tons have high lvls that they use too run certain instances and bring in there low lvl toons for the exp..all comes down too how much are you willing to spend too lvl fast

    As others have said, the people leveling the new races are people with level 100 characters, using those to level their alts faster.


    Aside from that, I can tell you Wizzie is probably -THE- hardest class to level; they're late bloomers. They need to kite and keep away from the enemy, they need to hit hard and they need to be able to take a hit. At lower levels, their skills don't hit particularly hard, Gush doesn't slow the enemy enough for the Wizard to kite it, and Stone Barrier is too low for the Wizzie's defense to be any good. Higher levels is where all of these develop and Wizzies start to shine.

    And to answer your comment, no, Wizzies don't have high dps. They're a DPH class, not a DPS one.

    If you've got your heart set on playing a wizzie, then stick with it. They're frustrating at lower levels but they do improve greatly in the end. If you're just trying to level your first character as quick as possible, then Psychic, Venomancer and Mystic would be good choices. Either way, ignore the Earthguard; they're gonna level faster than you cause they're level 100's in disguise. :P

    I have to disagree with the part ''hardest class'' i find it easier than sins or clerics in early lvls. and it just keeps getting better.

    PS done all my quests pl0x

    Nukit just learn what kind combo takes down the mobs fastest and most effective way ijs if you don't do it already

    Ive messed with combos... and no matter which mob type vs damage type its 4 hits every time by which time the mobs have already got hits off no matter if stunned :P.

    I did spend on Hyper once as it gave me 1 hour exp boost but then for remaning 22 hours I was exhausted down to 1 xp etc per kill or near abouts so didnt bother with those after.

    As for "using high level chars to grind there low lvl chars" thats ok if they have 2 comps to run 2 clients legit which i doubt most do.

    Was told a few days ago LVL 40 is **** easy in 48 hours...... as if :P Anyways thanx for your response.

    I was having the exact fellings as you when i first started out. I was dying on a fairly regular basis, and was becoming fairly disillusioned. And gave some serious thought to dropping my wizzard altogether.

    Wizards are hard to level up however u shud grit your teeth and stick with it and you will be rewarded. I love my wizzard and its my main char and it will always be.

    As for having issues killing mobs, until u level to get better quality gear i reccommend u look at the target mobs and look at their makeup, and combine spells to that for example:

    Fire is weak to Water, Earth is week to water, Metal is weak to Fire, Wood is weak to metal so use a combination of earth, water and fire. You'll want to lv Gush as a priority, as its the first skill to slow ur enimies down. Then Pyrogram as it has a fast channel and cast interval. I'm lv 65 and im still learning. As you will, also dont forget your genie two skills you'll find useful is second wind and earthquake. These really helped me up to lv.

    Also there is an excellent thread regarding wizzard builds, read it it written by experienced players of our class and will help you.

    Good luck and most importantly have fun

    Yeah, it's kind of sad that he gave up on the game. He could have at least tried another class and gone back to the wiz once he got over the frustration. (Well, maybe not a cleric... They suck at least as hard at low levels...)

    Some say...if you do solo FC with the wizzie, it can be lvl 40 in 1 run, lvl 50 in 2nd run and ...i dont know...it seems faster if you just hire a sin to solo it for you, then do quests...or it can be fun playing the old way...questing and grinding. GL to you.
