Mage — Ranged Magic AoE & Control

Choose your build first: F2P/new players should choose Attack-Penetration; for speedruns, lantern, and burst damage, choose Attack-Crit. Damage falls off after Lv. 70, so make sure you plan to play Mage long-term before investing.
A ranged magic AoE class with finishing and control abilities; easy to play, F2P-friendly, and mainly reliant on positioning.

Conseils Pratiques & Pièges à Éviter
Keep Expedition and Secret Realm sets separately; do not dismantle your Expedition set immediately after upgrading: keep at least one old Weapon and pair of Gloves with a Frostfocus or Frostspread core.
Basic short-term Equipment is sufficient; do not overbid at Auction. Prioritize Accessories from first-time Abyss clears, Assistance Coins, or reasonably priced purchases; the Assistance Coin cap is 1.5K.
Do not mix the stats, Gems, or Refinement of Attack-Penetration and Attack-Crit builds. Attack-Crit builds also need Penetration against high-Defense bosses.
