Overview

Wizards are powerful offensive magic users. They rely on dangerous magic strikes as well as devastating Area of Effect spells to wreak havoc.

Job Change Guide

See Wizard Job Change Guide for detailed information.

Changing into a Wizard from a Mage requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Item Collection
• Written Test
• Battle Test

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Wizard. This takes place inside of the Geffen Tower.

Builds

There are a large variety of builds in terms of skills. In terms of stats however, there is not much freedom for originality besides using a melee build, which is very unusual and not recommended for new players.

Basic Leveling Build

• STR: 1
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 60-80
• INT: 90
• DEX: 60-80
• LUK: 20-40

Wizards concentrate on INT (damage), DEX (cast time) and VIT (survivability, HP pool). Magic users tend to have high cast times, so skills like Magic Strings and sometimes Suffragium are very helpful.

Equipment

General Equipment Recommendations

Main article: Equipment

The Equipment article lists some general all purpose equipment that is useful through the PVM phase and also for endgame use as well.

Weapons

After considering what requirement skills have (some skills can only be used with certain weapon types), the Weapon Search tool within the Control Panel Database is very helpful. Generally, for magic classes, a weapon with high MATK is best.

Most of a Wizard's MATK comes from the weapon, so using high MATK weapons is preferable. Upgrading a Staff / Rod also gives bonus MATK.
