Welcome to the way of the Magician. For detailed information about what each skill does, refer to Skills. For detailed information about how to allocate skill and ability points, refer to Builds

1st job, low level magician training spots:
Magician - First job
Magician - First job

The Tree that Grew 1,2 or 3 (no. 3 has green mushrooms. For all you low level magicians, WATCH OUT), the place that people call the Slime Tree and Henesys hunting ground (all) However, as you are still pretty low leveled, it could be wiser to stay close to Ellinia until at least level 10. Henesys Party Quest is a good option (if you can get there!).

After you reach level 20 or so, Perion (which is ironically the Warrior's town) is a relatively good place to train, since the monsters, which are mostly stumps and their variants, have low magical defense and slow, good for magicians.

LEVEL 8-13 (2-5 hrs/lvl; Can be done under 6 hrs with party)
With Magic Bolt(1), you will have faster training now, but stick to Snails and Shrooms in the "Henesys Hunting Ground I" or the snails in the "The Tree That Grew I".

The Tree That Grew I [Snail] [8-13]
Henesys Hunting Ground I is excellent if you manage to have a party willing to assist.
At level 10, go to Henesys PQ. you get 1600 exp per round. Very useful for leveling up fast. Also, if you are funded and have a second, richer character in the same world, you can go to Orbis and do the exchange quest for EXP and items. Every 100 items trades in for some potions and 500 experience. It costs about 300k to level from ~11-14

LEVEL 13-21 (2-5hrs/lvl)
At Lvl 13 with Max MP Increase maxed and new armor and weapon choices, the Slime can be added into the hunting list. At Lvl 20, with Magic Claw (MAX), one can effectively handle Pig, Ribbon Pig, Orange Mushroom effectively.

Henesys Hunting Ground I [Shroom, Blue Snail, Red Snail, Slime] [13-17]
Henesys Hunting Ground I [Red Snail, Orange Mushroom] [17-21]
Kerning City Construction Site [Orange Mushroom] [17-21]
Pig Beach [Pig, Ribbon Pig] [20-23] *Beware* of the occasional Iron Hog

With high level magic claw can kill Pig and Ribbon Pig quickly

LEVEL 21-30 (3-6 hrs/lvl)
At Lvl 21, Party Quest is available, and as a Magician, one will be invited readily for the quest. Bubbling, Green Mushroom, Horned Mushroom, Zombie Mushroom are also viable options if one is capable of 1-hit or 2-hits KO. Bubbling drop 'Scroll for Cape INT 100%', Green Mushroom drop 'Pan Lid'. At lvl 23 or so, if you feel like burning HP pots, go to Subway Line 1 Area 2 and kill Stirges, but only if you can 1-hit KO them. They give 33 exp and will most likely kill you very fast (they do ~50 dmg to mages), so bring along a lot of orange potions. Even with that though, if you're fast, you will level pretty quickly and maybe gain a profit, as Stirges drop Orange and blue pots frequently. They even drop Garnet Ore, so Mrs. Ming Ming's 2nd Request will be easier for you.
