Sages are a PvP-oriented class with the role of caster/anti-[[Mage]]. They do not have the offensive abilities of a [[Wizard]], but are a slightly buffed version of Mage with their [[Free Cast]]ing. Sages shine in their defensive abilities, with many builds centered around [[Magnetic Earth]]. [[Dispell]] is also a popular and sought-after spell which is useful for removing buffs from the enemy. Many of their skills can only realistically be used in PvP, making PvM quite difficult, particularly for [[VIT]]/[[DEX]] builds that have difficulty solo leveling. Battle sages are a 'for fun' build which can become a powerful leveling build with the recent buffs to [[Autospell]] and the right gear.

Generally the best two Bolts to max are [[Fire Bolt]] and [[Lightning Bolt]]. The former is pretty much a given and LB is chosen because it is on the opposite side of the elements table. What this means is that having both FB and LB covers all the basic elements with no room for weakness. FB/CB on the other hand is weak to Water, as neither element is effective against it.

Leveling skills generally include [[Thunderstorm]], [[Fireball]], and [[Heaven's Drive]] for AoE. All three Bolt skills are not bad for single target damage. It is recommended to skip PvP oriented skills as a Sage, such as [[Stone Curse]] and [[Magnetic Earth]], and only acquire these after rebirth.

Although a single target battle build can be enjoyable, if partied with a [[Priest]] or if using HP [[Healing Items]], a pure PvM caster build yields much faster exp rates (AoE leveling is faster than killing single targets). Their ''endows can be indispensable'' for other classes, hence many Sages are built for slaving purposes only.

Sages start off with decent Magic AoEs with [[Thunderstorm]] and [[Fireball]], and can pick off single targets with bolt spells. Unfortunately towards later levels (after about 85) it may not be possible to one shot monsters anymore with the bolt skills, and Thunderstorm and Fireball may not be reliable or quick enough to use. That is why players should prepare their builds with a decent amount of VIT for survivability to tank the monsters while recasting during solo leveling, or also survivability in party situations. Later levels will be spent either aiding with additional damage and Endow buffs in parties, or finding mobs weak to the Earth element to AoE with Heavens Drive. The rebirthed Sage, the [[Scholar]] gains access to very useful SP giving / recovering support skills with [[Soul Exhale]] and [[Indulge]], and becomes an extremely useful support class.

CRIT build is the better of the two builds because it offers higher damage hits, and requires little to no DEX to land hits. This means STAT points can be put into other stats such as [[VIT]] or more [[STR]]. Additionally, LUK not only adds CRIT, but also adds MATK, which helps with Hindsight. This build WILL require CRIT gear due to the lack of [[DEX]]. Dagger of Counter or Soldier Skeleton Cards in an Encyclopedia are the best options.

[[Free Cast]] and [[Hindsight]] allows this build to melee with books while raining bolts from above on their foes. Despite being a melee build, their main offensive power does not come from having [[STR]], but rather from the high [[ASPD]] to trigger the moderate damage bolts. Some even prefer to drop their [[STR]] to a marginal amount, and wield a Bazerald dagger for the added [[MATK]] bonus.

'''It is not recommended to play this build without [[FLEE]] gear because [[Mage]]s do not get any extra FLEE bonuses the way [[Thief]] classes do with [[Improve Dodge]].

Relying solely on bolt casts will lead to many deaths.

During the early days of the introduction to the Sage class, it was the glory days of the [[Hocus-pocus]] Sages. Sadly the yellow-gem nerf and [[Hocus-pocus]] [[Boss]] nerf meant the end of their era. The build aims at the most [[INT]] possible for a good regen rate, since casting HP repeatedly can drain the SP considerably. It also doesn't go for maxed [[DEX]], but focuses more on [[VIT]] instead to avoid death by random [[Hocus-pocus]] skills.
+
A Sage's endow skills use Points. For example, [[Lightning Loader]] uses a {{Item|id=6362 Yellow Wish Point}}. Points can be purchased from the '''Elemental Points''' NPC in Geffen that is found in two different locations: to the right of the fountain {{Navi|geffen|127|49}}, and also on one of the lower floors of the Geffen Tower {{Navi|gef_tower|40|105}}.

Overview

Sage.jpg

Sages are a PvP-oriented class with the role of caster/anti-Mage. They do not have the offensive abilities of a Wizard, but are a slightly buffed version of Mage with their Free Casting. Sages shine in their defensive abilities, with many builds centered around Land Protector. Dispell is also a popular and sought-after spell which is useful for removing buffs from the enemy. Many of their skills can only realistically be used in PvP, making PvM quite difficult, particularly for VIT/DEX builds that have difficulty solo leveling. Battle sages are a 'for fun' build which can become a powerful leveling build with the recent buffs to Auto Spell and the right gear.

Job Change Guide

See Sage Job Change Guide for detailed information.

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

  • Item Collection
  • Written Test
  • Battle Test
  • Thesis Composition

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Sage. This takes place in Geffen.

Guides

Check the Magician Guild section of the forums for Sage guides, made by the community for the community.

Endow Skill Elemental Points

A Sage's endow skills use Points. For example, Lightning Loader uses a Yellow Wish Point. Points can be purchased from the Elemental Points NPC in Geffen that is found in two different locations: to the right of the fountain geffen12749, and also on one of the lower floors of the Geffen Tower gef_tower40105.
