Mage AOE Hunting

Mobbing with AOE

recently due to the wipe.. ive given up on leveling up to 30 since i have no time to play that much... instead i have been spending all my time in researching on how to level a mage from start to level 10-15 as fast as possible ...

doing some really stupied things and by trail and error i found out that around level 7-9 it gets really tough to level yourself.. expecially when ur level 11 i believe and u have to kill those bats in the caves...

mages are sapposed to be support unites.. intill thier 2nd jobs.. they still continue to be so.. *or at least my view*

to find a way to actually speed up the process and not end up 1/2 dead in the process of leveling up faster *without missions* i have found out a great use for AOE spells.. and thats mobbing..

Mobbing = purposely involving urself in multipul Mobs fights all at once and attacking all together to increase speed fighting and gainning experience...

NOTE!!~ i dont expect you to go mobbing intill ur at least level 7.. though i wouldnt mind seeing a newb level 1 getting pwned by bunnies =P and i suggest only doing this to mobs with 1-2 bars difficulity inless u know u can handle at least 3 at a time

the fact is AOE are there for a reason.. USE THEM!~ of course only if u can manage the mass of enemies that are going to rush at you.. for me i started with the lions area.. by level 9-10 i noticed i was able to take a thrashing by 2-3 lions and still manage to kill them off ... by trail and error... i found by taking down multipul mobs at once.. rather then 1 at a time.. i increase my leveling speed at least by 2-3x... *i actually timed myself on a 15 minute run.. and how much exp i could get* it is much more dangerous if ur lagging and such but.. its quiet easy if you can time things right...

AOE spells as beginner.. only cost about 30-45mp to cast 1.. and deals damage to basically all the enemies around u if u aim it at yourself.. a normal spell cost 30mp and will only deal to 1 enemy.. *starting to get my reason why now??* .. though normally AOE's deal less damage.. ull be taking out severial targets at once.. if u know what element to use on the mob.. ull even make it THAT much more easy... to take down 4 lions it takes me at least 2 full bars of magic if i was doing them solo.. but if i have all of them coming at me at once.. i can kill them all in 1 bar... and the cost is using 1 pot to cure to full *as mages have low hp* ...

the mob stratagy is not for everyone.. as it is dangerous.. and u have to keep a cool head and a eye out on ur life.. but since i have been training with this system and perfecting it... its been almost my style of killing... and this way i also gain more hp stats as my defence skill rating will increase as well =) 2 birds with 1 stone.. though right now this still expiermental.. =)



EDIT~~ forgot.. to do this.. u need at least 3 AOE spells.. or ull need to do alot more healing =P

ahaha! you posted it!

btw, which 3 AOE spells do you recommend? are there any AOE healing spells?

He means the fire and Earth ones :P
you might want to through in the ice one because of recast

... yah i posted it.. theres 4 aoe spells.. but 2 are from fire.. so... yah..

so... fire, earth, wind...

wind is only used at the end.. since it works only when mobs are around u...

for fire i suggest u get the flashbeam one... since u get too choose where it explodes =P nice for a light show... ^^ or u can get the other one.. forgot the name.. but i find that one isnt as nice =P

ice/water doesnt have an AOE spell masterchief... its wind that has the Airspliter =)


as far as i know right now.. there are no AOE spells for healling.. im guessing thats when u reach level 2 or 3 when u become the holy chiandra thingy..*probley spelling it wrong =P* :y:

Water has a AOE spell, it takes 30 mana, but it's a small AOE.. (The second water spell is AOE, very small area though)

[j4y88]

it is an aoe spell.. but... if u used it during when u where surrounded.. chances it wont even hit 1/2 the people around you... thats why i dont say its an aoe spell for AOE hunting =P

bleh.. whatever =P it is an aoe spell.. i just count it as a non aoe spell because i find it sucks.. =P i rather use the first water spell then it... ^^"

Hmmm...
The AOE earth spell when translated says tat it deals posion damage(over time)...
And the 4th skill increase the posion damage taken over time but only used on other race...

Perhaps earth AOE isn't tat good for hunting...

[j4y88]

the earth AOE poison skill deals initial poision attack aswell.. and normally by the time the posion takes effect .. the guys dead =P

[XiaoVal]

For healing there might actually be a AOE healing spell...
The Healing Wind(direct translation) states tat ---> Heal Teammates ard U...

Dunno if it's AOE but it might be at least...

[j4y88]

i guess we will find out once somone becomes a chandra or whatever its called ^^"
