Low level maging has gotten tougher than it used to be, with the missing and the resists.

But I'm level 300!

Accidently start FSM on Hell while wearing Fenrir set. Win with 7 godly mana pots instead of the usual 2.

Accidently start Beyond The Clouds with 20% mana and no great status. Win without stopping to ET.

Feels good, man.

If your usual is FSM on normal, he's pretty doable with only 1-2 average mana pots with a good mace (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Can't talk about Beyond the Clouds though. And I'm sure mages rip through hordes way faster.

Usual FSM is on Hell. BT takes 5 godly mana pots (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Around what level does maging become better? I rolled magic from the start until 35-40ish. At that point it was getting painful. Chain chugging pots and losing arenas I'd actually beaten easily before.

I switched to using 2H and heavy armor and it got instantly easier. I'm 72 now and mostly using Kevlar + Scythe. I miss spell slinging though. What kind of set should I piece together before switching back? Straight Destruction staff with whatever element I want to focus on for armor?

As I see the percentage, mages dominate above lvl 200. Below lvl 200 light armor is an optimal choice.

Can't really help you about the mage gear selection though, since I'm still using melee and don't have any intentions to change it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Personally I wouldn't bother with maging until at least level 130, when you gain access to Arcane Focus.
I have 96% accuracy and still get my fair share of misses with Arcane Focus on, without it maging would probably be a living hell.

For the staff, I would go with an Ebony Destruction one with high MDM, Magic Accuracy, and Elemental proficiency for your level. I wouldn't worry about ET for now. As for armor, Gossamer Elementalist armor will last you a long time; I still use it, even. Try to find pieces with high a high Elemental proficiency bonus, and good Evade and Intelligence bonuses. Element-specific Phase is probably out of your price range, and your base Elemental proficiency probably too low to carry the load for the elements you didn't specialize in.

Dumb question, when deciding which pieces of equipment to keep or sell, what is the general criteria that one should go by? I have tons of equipment cluttering up my inventory but I'm not experienced enough to tell which ones are worth keeping and which ones are junk.

I sell anything that's Crude or Fair quality, anything of any elemental mitigation, a shield with a low block chance, or physical mitigation cloth.

How do you use the monster, and what kind should be made?

The monster is out fighting while you're not looking.
Your monster may bring you presents.
http://ehwiki.org/wiki/Monster_Lab has the details.

You should pick the most fitting monster type for the name/character you choose.
Giants and humanoids are the most popular choices I guess but any other type will work too.

Thank you. Guess I should of read the monster lab front page more.

I got low-grade stuff from him but i dont know what i can do with it now.

Nothing yet, but Tenboro's working on a equipment forging system that lets you use them to upgrade your equipment.

Right now, you can't do anything with those items. They're meant for the Forge, a feature that's yet to be implemented.

I just got cleared the gods in the course of a week, netting 350K, and I blew it all by camping in the crystal section of the Bazaar.

Now that I got all my Monsters up to at least power level 50, question is which ones should I focus on now?

Also, I feel that my Dragon could use a better name, any suggestions?

This good enough?

If i have Crystarium I, is the increase in crystal reflected in the match history part or can i just double the amount i see i received?

Crystarium only affects battle drops and Artifact rewards.

Is this exp allocation ok?

Hows it going guys, I just started playing the game a couple of days ago. Anyways, I was wonder if anyone could give me some tips on which trainings and stats I should focus on? I'm currently level 30, dual wielding, and I have trained Scavenger 4 times so far.

I tried using the search function but I can't seem to find information for what I'm asking.

Well, you're higher than me, and you are a mage, so I don't really have any experience in the matter.
But spontaneously, I'd say you need more endurance.
More health points and more mitigations, being able to survive is good.
