Overview

Mages rely on their skills as their main source of damage, and such attacks are magically based and only take into account the target's Magical Defense, and not their Physical Defense. Furthermore, all of a Mage's spells are elemental, thus meaning the accurate use of the correct spell against the correct monsters is highly important.

1. The mage job quest NPC is located in Geffen in the northwest building (/navi geffen 63/177).

2. Once inside, talk to the girl by the blackboard. She will tell you what solution number you need. The solution number you get determines what items you need and what you need to input in to the mixing machine. You can look up the ingredients you need at the book shelf located inside of the same room.

Note: The catalyst item isn't needed, it is just a selection from the mixing machine list.

Solution #	Items	Catalyst Item	Town Solution	Mixing Code
1	2 Jellopy, 3 Fluff, 1 Milk^[1]	Yellow Gemstone	Payon Solution^[2]	8472
2	3 Jellopy, 1 Fluff, 1 Milk^[1]	Red Gemstone	None	3735
3	6 Jellopy, 1 Fluff	Blue Gemstone	Payon Solution^[2]	2750
4	2 Jellopy, 3 Fluff	1carat Diamond	Morroc Solution^[3]	5429

^[1]Milk can be obtained in Prontera at the Milk Merchant (76, 133) for 25z.

^[2]The Payon Solution is found in the Payon Archer Village (the Archer Village is accessible through the top right portal of Payon). The NPC, named Dollshoi, is located at (118, 100).

^[3]The Morroc Solution is found in the Pyramids map located in the north west corner of Morroc. The NPC, named Ponka-Hontas can be found at (88, 147).

3. After obtaining all of the ingredients, mix them in the the mixing machine (??, ??) back at the Mage Guild. Make sure to double check the ingredients, catalyst, and mixing code. If a mistake is made at this time, all of the items will have to be gathered again.

4. Once the Unknown Solution is made talk to the main quest NPC again. If you give her the correct solution, she will change your job to Mage.

Equipment

Get any type of Staff as soon as possible. The 15% increase in MATK is noticeable even at low levels. Rods and Wands can be bought from the Geffen Weapon Dealer. A Guard would also be a good investment from the Armour Dealer for new players. Generally, aim to get as much armor as possible to increase the chance of surviving monster hits.

Although potentially expensive, a Heal Clip should be a top priority. This will help save loads of money that would have gone towards restoration items (i.e. Red Potions) and greatly increases leveling efficiency. Armor with Pupa Card (+700 HP) will help the most as a Mage, due to their low HP. INT enhancing cards and equipment (Elder Willow Card, Earrings, Mage Hat) tend to be more useful at this point than DEX equipment (Apple of Archer, Gloves, Drops Card), but it's really up to getting as much as the player can afford.
