Creating your Wizard

 

        First of all, you have to create a wizard. If you want a gooding Player-Vs.-player

character, be a human  wizard. A human wizard is good at Player-Vs.-Player because they have

more HP than a scallion. If you want a wizard  with a ton of  MP,  be a scallion.

 

Placing your points

 

If you want to have a strong Player-Vs.-Player  wizard I would suggest building your points like so:

 

1.     Place no points on strength

2.    Place no pints on agility

3.   Place as many as you can on constitution

4.  Place as many as you can on intelligence

5. Place the leftover  points on wisdom

 

After you place your points, your stats should look like this (if you are a human):

 

                              12

                              12

                              18

                              18

                              15

 

Starting Out

 

        When you start playing your wizard for the first time you will be in a town. This is called

your home town. If you don’t like your home town you can delete your character and re-create him.

He will most likely start in a new town. If you don’t like this town either try again.

    Once you find a town to your liking, set your action keys. I set my wizard’s action key’s like so :

 

k=minor adgredi

f=food

w=white pearl

h=blue pearl

 

        Once you have set your action keys, you should set your in-game keys, like the ‘change view

key’ and such. After all your keys are set, go to your inventory screen (the key is usually set

for‘i’). Put on all the gear you have in your inventory. The gear you start out with is not very

good, but you will get better gear as you go along.

 

Hunting

 

        If you try to kill animals by yourself when you first begin, you will probably get killed

in 3-5 shots. So, instead of going out and fighting by yourself, do this :

        Go out and find an enemy, like an imp for instance. As soon as the imp sees you, he will

try to attack you. Do not try to fight him right now!!!! Instead, run towards town. When you get

near town a guard should come and kill the imp. After the guard has killed the imp, go up and take

the gear the imp left for you.

      Once you attain the stuff, go sell it to any merchant in town.

        Keep following the pattern of drawing the enemies toward town and then selling their gear

until you have a good amount of money.

      You want enough money to buy a elven leather

from the defense merchant. Now that you have more protection you can withstand more blows, which in

turn means that you can go out fight.

                

                     Hunting by Yourself       

 

I would suggest fighting in Semel or Terthius. If you fight in Semel, go to the west until you

reach some rocks. From there you can go up and down the rock wall killing imps and trolls as

you go.

      Another good part about hunting in Semel is that you can do the ‘Milly’s letter quest’ (see

the Xenimus Atlas page for details).

        You should hunt imps and such until you reach level 4. Now  you will have new spells and be

able to where magic gear. Your stats should look like this:

 

                                13

                                12

                                20

                                18

                                15

 

        The reasons for putting a point on strength is that after you do the strength shrine and

the Great Hall shrine you will have 15 strength, which gives you a bonus amount of strength.

        My action keys at this point looked something like this :

 

k=Tiron Adgredi

h=Minor Mederi

v=Minor Velocitas

r=Minor Flamma Ventus

p=Minor Tueri

l=Minor Flamma

n=Nocte Visus

f=food

 

     Ok, now you are ready for skeletons. I would suggest fighting skellies in the Semel Graveyard

because it is less populated.

       Make sure that before you go hunting for skellies you have put on your ‘charge’ spells

(spells that boost your defense, attack, speed, etc.). Skeletons will hurt a lot

less if you have the Tueri spell on. And you can hit a lot faster if you have Velocitas on.

    Ok, now to the fun part. Hunting skellies isn’t too difficult if you know how to. It is fairly

easy to hunt

them if you have one thing: MP Regen. Some Magic Elven Leather has ‘props’, or properties, on it.

      The most common property is +1 MP Regen. With this prop you can be constantly using spells,

but never running out of MP, and this is exactly what you need for fighting skeletons.

 

Fighting Strategies

 

        The best strategy for a mage is to use...MAGIC!!!!!! Ok, seriously, using magic is only

easy if you use it correctly. This means that you should use your magic sparingly.

        Instead of Flamma Ventusing every skeleton, gather a large group of skeletons and then when

they’re in a straight line, Flamma them. If you can kill 5 skellies with only one or two spells,

you save a ton of magic.

 

Level 8

 

        Ok, the reason I have an entire section devoted to ‘Level 8’ is that it is a very important

level. At this level you can fight wizards, a fairly strong enemy. You will find the easiest

wizards at the light green section on the map, south-east of Semel.

        All right, first thing about level 8 is the new spells. Here are what my keys looked like

at level 8 :

 

g=Mutatio Nimbus ( Turn into a cloud. Very fast way of traveling)

k=Medius Adgredi (Star Missile)

r=Tiron Flamma Ventus (Flame Wind)

h=Minor Mederi (Heal)

m=Arcessere Flamma ( create a fireball)

j=Medius Ignis (Fire Missile)

a=Tiron Noxa Tueri ( Damage Reflect)

p=Medius Tueri (Protection against Physical Damage)

v=Minor Velocitas (Speed)

x=Minor Extrudere (Protection from Magic)

z=Tiron Robur ( Strength)

e=Emmisarius (Dedect Evil)

q=Contra Magicus (Dispell someone)

/=Contra Visus (Invisibility)

n=Nocte Visus (Night Vision)

 

        Ok, fighting wizards is fairly easy as long as you know how : Heal, then Flamma Ventus,

then heal, etc.. Follow this pattern and they will either be killed by your Flamma, or kill

themselves (Tiron Noxa Tueri reflects the damage they do).

        Killing wizards isn’t too hard as long as they don’t gang up on you. So, instead of just

walking around the shrine waiting for wizzies to come and kill you, use Contra Visus to go

invisible.

      Obviously, they can’t see you when you’re invisible, which means you can take them out one by

one.

 

Level 9

 

        Ok, when you reach level 9 you get the spell Multi Minor Nex. Multi Minor Nex is an Ok

spell for right now, but when you get the more powerful versions of it later on, it will be your

main leveling spell. The reason for being your main spell is that it hits every monster on the

screen. I set the key for Multi Minor Nex to ‘w’.

     When you level up from 8 to 9, place a point on intelligence. Your points should look like

this :

 

                             13

                             12

                             23

                             20

                             15

 

        Having a lot of intelligence is really good because it gives you more experience per kill.

My level 12 Paladin only got 18 experience per kill from wizards. My level 9 wizard gets 26. So as

you can see it helps a ton to have that extra intelligence.

        Intelligence also makes your spells more powerful, which comes in handy when you really

hate some other guy on dungeon server...=P

        I would recommend  leveling at wizzies for a while since it gives such a large amount of

experience.

      One note though : If you want to be able to take them one with out being invisible, wear six

Salubris rings (each ring gives you about 10 HP at level 9) .

     These rings help more than you can imagine. My level 9 Wizard has more HP than MP.

 

Finishing Up

 

Ok, I’ve covered most of the basics. The only thing left is your own touch. You can place your

points however you like; I was just giving you an example. So, go out, make a wizzie, and rule

Xenimus!!!!!!!
