1. Introduction to Magicians

Magicians... Studying ancient studies is their virtue, high intelligence is their top priority. Since they spend all their time researching, they may not have much of strength or stamina, and they use staves and wands as their main weapons. For armor, they prefer light ones like robes with minimal defense. They can't put on heavy armor.

2. Starting Ability Points

In order to become a Perfect Magician, your STR and DEX must be at 4. It might take some time to reach 4 at both stats, but that is the most significant and hardest part about becoming a Perfect Magician. The rest of the stats, INT and LUK, can be varied. Furthermore, having 5 STR/DEX is also good, so don't tire yourself trying to reach 4 at both stats.

3. Ability Point Allocation

Your LUK should always be 3 more than your level. Allocate the rest of the Ability Points on INT. Another way of allocating your ability points is to add INT whenever you are far away from the next staff/wand. If you do not have the next staff/wand to upgrade, do not add LUK since it is wasting INT points. This may be more complicated, but add INT until 2 levels away from the staff/wand, then add 5 LUK each to reach the exact required LUK. Also, all Magicians will eventually need to cap LUK at a certain point.

4. Becoming A Magician

In order to become a Magician, you must be at least level 8. Otherwise, level 10. Plus, you must have at least 20 INT. Once you are ready, head over to Ellinia, the town of Magicians, located in a deep forest east of Victoria Island, and go to the very top of the town. On the highest platform, you will see a house. Go inside the and you will see a floating person named Grendel the Really Old. Talk to him and he will judge your worth as a possible Magician and you will advance as a Magician.

8. Introduction to Clerics

They may not possess the attacking spells like fire and ice, but they have holy spells that are very powerful against the undead's and evil-based monsters. They also have skills that makes up for their low stamina and guarding abilities, and are the only magicians able to cast healing magic.

9. Becoming A Cleric

In order to become a Cleric, you must be at least level 30. Go talk to Grendel the Really Old once again, and he will rave about how you look much stronger now than before. He will also make an offer that if you pass a simple test, he will make you even more powerful than you already are. Cnce you accept the offer to take the test, he will give you a letter that is for the Job Advancement Instructor near Ellinia, and you will have to go search for that person. Once the instructor receives the letter from you, you will be taken inside a tree, where the instructor tells you to collect 30 Dark Crystals by defeating the monsters inside. Once inside, there are no stores around to speak of, so you will need to stock up and prepare yourself before entering. Once all 30 Dark Crystals have been collected, the instructor will award you with a Proof of a Hero, and you will take that back to Grendel the Really Old in Ellinia, where then you will advance as the Cleric.
