^ disclaimer: this guy plays with ether theft proc. i don't suggest to do so to a beginner. especially since at low difficulty mobs will die quite quickly. QUOTE(xcaliber9999 @ Jun 18 2017, 19:11)  Ok got it. Got questions regarding abilities chart -
I have add everything from staff and cloth armor what to do with (deprecating 1&2, Supportive 1&2, Elemental, Forbidden, Divine) I can't add everything so what to add and what not ? btw I am planning to play as holy mage
first, you can discard Staff Damage (the physical one). later on, even the accuracy one second, you may need something like 100 ability boost or so as for the rest, well... deprecating section: upgrade imperil (both abilities), and personally i suggest also silence. not sure if magnet is useful supportive: all, without absorb and heartseeker (which will be replaced by arcane focus). not sure which spike to pick, maybe Elec? elemental: nothing forbidden: nothing divine: better smite and holy imperil. slot banish and paradise only when you'll unlock the spells. don't bother with soul fire, especially at the start QUOTE(xcaliber9999 @ Jun 18 2017, 19:11)  Secondly what gears I have to get to rise proficiency. I got no mage gears (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) nothing nothing? for a starter, just focus on close a set. even non holy ones, as long as evade and pabs are good enough. you don't need top-tier gears. i may lend you something for a while, but i need to check if i have enough pieces for a second set This post has been edited by Scremaz: Jun 18 2017, 19:51

I'm also trying to raise magic proficiency, but since I'm in no hurry, I'm just throwing 1-2 random spells each round as I'm playing Arenas with my regular melee build. There might be more optimal ways, but it works quite well. I've gone from 0 to 200 magic proficiency in just a few days without even trying too much.

for a script i'm working on i need a link to the flower vase effect icon and i don't feel like spending one of the 3 vases i've got. so if anyone plans to use a vase any time soon, it would be cool if you could paste a link to the icon in here real quick
and the energy drink effect icon would be nice too, if there is a special icon for that

Thanks a lot. Will really appreciate if u can provide me a set to grind or if not possible tell me what to buy to start. QUOTE(DJNoni @ Jun 18 2017, 23:24)  Thanks will look into it QUOTE(friggo @ Jun 18 2017, 23:43)  I'm also trying to raise magic proficiency, but since I'm in no hurry, I'm just throwing 1-2 random spells each round as I'm playing Arenas with my regular melee build.

As for the heimdall robe that's the only mage gear I have right now nothing else. I got it in a hurry yesterday you can say it was an impulse buying ... was a bad purchase to be honest should have gone for a charged one (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) than again they are crazy expensive right heck I don't even know whether the robe is a good purchase or not (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

sent you something. not the best things around, but still something to start. as for staff you may want a hallowed oak of heimdall, or at least a hallowed katalox of destruction. probably, for a starter a hallowed oak of earth-walker may be useful (and cheap!) too. as for the armors, phase of heimdall or cotton of heaven-sent. when you'll be a proper mage the exact ratio between phase and cotton will depend on whether you'll play with imperil or not. for now, while you're still building prof, just go with whatever you can find. but since i sent you a couple of prof pieces, you'd better find phases for the remaining ones This post has been edited by Scremaz: Jun 18 2017, 22:16

slot in IA all the spells you can, depending on how many slots you have. as a rule of thumb, protection has the lowest priority but at low difficulties there's the chance you won't need spark, so your call. just try a bit. all the remaning spells (out of the 5 IA-able ones) have to be manually casted, since a mage need all of them. Regen at the start of the quest, then simply spam Smite. Arcane Focus only when you trigger a channelling. if you want to do some quick tests while also gaining a profit, go with SG arenas. try also to play with and without imperil to check what you prefer. eventually, it has to be casted at the start of every round.

IS there a way to cast Smite spell without clicking it every time from the spell slot ? Like it will be casted when hovering over monsters ?

oh, ok. hmm... in case someone uses one, may i also have the tooltip? QUOTE(xcaliber9999 @ Jun 18 2017, 23:22)  I am using reloader and crackling cast can you kindly show me how to do it seen I don't know anything about script
try with this. in reloader i see this section, at the beginning of the script: CODE defaultAction: 0, // Change the default action to a T1 spell // | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | // | No Change | Fiery Blast | Freeze | Shockblast | Gale | Smite | Corruption | set defaultAction to 5. if it doesn't work, it's because i have an old version and/or cracklingcast interferees with it. no clue (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

One last thing how long will I have to grind before considering upgrading gear ? lvl 200, 300, 400 ? Also some spells like Banish, paradise and soul fire are not showing up in offensive spell area even though I assigned them in ability slots why ? Will they show up later ?

soul fire is a secondary effect that occurs automatically when using spells, and as for the spells themselves, you probably don't have the proficiency to use them, see the Prof column on https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Spells for when they unlock
