Leveling a mystic

Leveling is the major component of any powerful character.

Which makes me ponder several considerable factors in getting level such as:

--->What makes a mystic fun at leveling?
--->Are mystics good in soloing? If yes. Answer the question below
--->How long can they keep up on soloing?
--->Are they fast levelers?
--->Are they capable of grinding conveniently?
--->Are they good at endgame? if yes. WHY?


Thanks for you generous replies!

--->What makes a mystic fun at leveling?
They are all round fun characters if you like supporting and DD'ing, you can quickly switch between the 2 depending on the situation, they keep you on your toes which to me, is fun.

--->Are mystics good in soloing? If yes. Answer the question below
Yes and No

--->How long can they keep up on soloing?
Pretty much from when you get the Devil Chihyu summon at level 7 through to end game but Mystic really excel more in squads.

--->Are they fast levelers?
Everyone pretty much levels at the same rate at the moment, it's just power level to 80/90 then run through FF until 100/101. If you choose not to use this method then I would say they aren't the fastest levelers say compared to a BM/Seeker/Assassin.

--->Are they capable of grinding conveniently?
Yep! Nice mixture of healing skills, attack skills and self buffs like Verdant Shell (Wood, Water and Physical defence) and res buff.

--->Are they good at endgame? if yes. WHY?
Depending on how well you know your class I say yes. The damage we deal is nice, we have nice new shiny skills implemented in the latest expansion built around supporting squads, nice AoEs (Gale force & Thicket) and we just generally kick butt

I hope this has helped, probably hasn't but I gave it my best shot. These are my opinions, obviously someone else will have a different opinion.

if you zhening for gringing then befuddling creeper and mistress is the way to go.
falling petals, gather mobs, use creeper, lyse, aoe with mistress, gale force, and if their giving you more trouble, drop a vital herb first, then agro mobs. and even better when you get the 100 skill lucky break to use it with gale force.
and mystics are awesome, easy to solo with, and keep squads alive in pve/pvp

Again, thanks. i wish all the guides would include information as to how much real cash these players spent to create their builds.

I'm lv92 (avatar is probably glitched) and spent just enough real money to buy pretty wings and a mount. I'm just the kind that can't play a game without a fast ride.

Other things are bought from players with in game coins.

Since you want to play a mystic, expect not to tank much. Generally, arcane classes don't need the best armor to pwn.

Yes. They are very fun to level. Pretty much with every class it seems like your killing by yourself. But as a mystic in PvE at the beginng you got Devil and plants covering your back and your killing 2-3 monsters at once and pretty quick too. Personally when I was playing mine I was excited to have more mob quests. It only got around 50s when mana becomes an issue and Absorb Soul is your lifesaver and Plants are your suicide. Lol
Although after 75 they become fun again. Especially in duels


Yes you can solo pretty much any boss outside instances because you got lightning fast pet heals which means you can just spam it while your summon deals the damage. (This is only done on bosses that will hit your summon or you very hard. Mystics have lightning fast powerful heals.


How long can they keep soloing..lol forever I guess. Don't know what you mean by that question.


Well...assuming hypers don't exist and you can't multiclient. Pretty much. Probably like a Psychic. Mystics are considered very OP at low levels because your usually never in danger and can do everything. You will get mob quests done very quick. Also you don't even need to worry about getting Hp pots. Although mana will be a big issue that you notice probably into 40s. Might wanna make Jade Powders. Levelingas a mystic in the beginning is kind of like a veno except it doesn't get repetitive and continues to be very fun.


As a mystic you can grind efficiently although not like a BM and AoE grinding. But very efficient.


They can be good endgame if you know how to use them. They get a skill that gives you guarenteed crits which may be fatal combined with spark. You get a skill that hits a lot harder than NV and requires no sparks and low cooldown at 100. Assuming you got good gears and outgear other classes you could definitely 1-2 shot. You get knockback that knocksback players as well. You also get tons of freezes and seals that makes you capable of freeze locking. Or keeping still for a long time. A smart mystic is extremely killer.

Oh yeah for PvE you get a skill that increases damage dealt on monsters and it can be a squad buff which is nice for instances. It's like Amp. You also get a few more heal skills which might be useful.
