Mage Job
Mages are naturally imbued with the powers of the elements within their souls. Though still learning to hone these powers, they use their knowledge and intelligence of these elements to significantly impact the battlefield. Growing up west of the mystical Mt. Mjolnir, in Geffen, they are able to see magic all around them and use this to their advantage.In this guide we will look into:

Special Tips for your Mage
1.Recommend Builds:
Fire Mage - This build excels when targeting monsters that are weak against the fire element. Hunt Earth element and Undead element monsters, or change their element by using Stone Curse.
Wind Mage - This build excels when targeting monsters that are weak against the wind element. Hunt water element monsters, or change their element by using Frost Diver.
Bolter Mage - This is a versatile job and highlights fast element switching using the basic elemental bolts. Switch between the Lightning bolt, Firebolt, and Cold bolt depending on your target's element.
2.Skill Points Allocation
For the Fire Mage, max out Firebolt, Fireball, and Zen Heart. Then allocate the rest of the points to any skill that you need.
