Welcome toGoldceo !

This is a guide for Mage on Shaiya . It is only a guide for players to read, and then see if it works for them and comment on ourwebsite . Now please read it ...

First things first. Pagans and Mages are the same. Pagans are part of the Union of Fury. The Vail are given the choice of becoming Pagans. Mages are part of the Alliance of Light. Elves are given the choice of becoming Mages. Each Class on Shaiya has a Counter Class. Therefore: All Alliance Of Light Classes are Available to Union Of Fury Member.. The only difference is the names.

Alliance Of Light Classes And Their Counter Classes:
Mage = Pagan
Archer = Hunter
Ranger = Assassin
Fighter = Warrior
Defender = Guardian
Priest = Oracle

Stats in Shaiya

Strength(Also Known As Str) - Physical Attack Power, Ranged Attack Power
Rec. Defense(Also Known As Rec) - Physical Defense power, Ranged Defence Power, Total Hitpoints (HP)(The Red Bar.)
Intelligence(Also Known As Int) - Magic Attack Power
Wisdom(Also Known As Wis) - Magic Defensive Power, Magic Hit Rate, Total Magical Power (MP)(The Blue Bar)
Dexterity(Also Known As Dex) - Evasion Rate, Hit Rate, And Stamina (SP)(The Yellow Bar)

The Only TRULY useless Stat for mages is Strength. Mages Do Not use Physical Attacks.. EVER.. They have no need to physically attack when they can do 50 damage at level 1 using magic Smile.

Builds:
Builds are NEVER absolute so feel free to mix em up to fit your playing style. The following builds are only guidelines.

RECOMMENDED Builds:
Normal Mode- Int Mage, Rec Mage.
Hard Mode- Int Mage, Rec Mage, Hybrid.
Ultimate Mode- Int Mage, Luck Mage, Hybrid.
The point of normal mode is to get a character to lvl 50. Int mage most efficiently serves this purpose, particularly w/ defender. Rec mages lvl fast too, and it’s better for soloing.

Int-mage:
Positive: Very High Attacks and VERY fast Levelling.
Negative : Very Low Hp, Low Evasion, Low Hit Rate….sigh..
Levelling Recommendations: Solo Hunt (1 at a time). Party Hunt with a Defender. (Mobbing). IF you are party hunting, Go for the Yellow named mobs.
Stat Distribution:
Normal ModePure Intelligence OR 4 Int 1 Wis (for mp). Follow the 4:1 path UNTIL you feel you have Sufficient MP.
Hard Mode- 6:1 Build- 6 int 1 Wis. Once again. Add Wis until you have enough Mp. Then continue with All Int. 5:2 Build- Add 5 int, 1 Wis and 1 Rec. This will give you Mp and Hp along with some Defensive Power While keeping your attack High.
Ultimate Mode- 7:2 Build-. 7 Int 1 Wis 1 Rec. Once again, This will give you Mp, Hp, and Defensive Power while keeping your attack HIGH. (1 wis, 1 rec)

Rec-mage:
Positive: Very High Defense, High Hp, Great For Soloing, Easy Money
Negative: Medium-> Low Attack Power (physical and Magic). HIGHLY reliant on AoE Attacks.
Leveling Path: Solo Green monster Mobs that use Physical Attacks. If you attempt to fight Magic using monsters, you will die. Lure a lot of them (4+), You will get almost no damage, Use AoE Attack. Party Hunting is NOT recommended, you won’t be much help to them, and your experience gained will drop. Best to keep soloing Green mobs, you won’t die and you will get a significant amount of money to buy equipment and items that can help you increase your attack power.
Stat Distribution:
Normal Mode: 4:1 Build. 4 Rec 1 Int or Wis (alternate every level. ex: Odd level = int, even level= wis). Gives you High Defense and Hp while SLOWLY increasing your Mp and Magic Attack Power.
Hard mode: 6:1 Build. 6 Rec, 1 int or wis. (alternate every level. ex: Odd level = int, even level= wis). Gives you High Defense and Hp while SLOWLY increasing your Mp and Magic Attack Power. 5:2 Build. 5 Rec, 1 Int, 1 Wis. SLIGHTLY less Defense in this one BUT more Magic Attack Power and MP.
Ultimate Mode: 7:2 Build- 7 Rec, 1 Int 1 Wis. High Defense, Slowly and steadily rising Mp and Magic Attack Power
NOTE- REC build is NOT recommended for ULTIMATE mode.

Luck mage

Positive: HIGH Crit Rate, High Crit Damage, HIGHEST ATTACK BUILD!
Cons: SLOW Levelling Rate. Reliant on AoE’s in PARTIES ONLY..otherwise single monster magic.
Leveling Path:Grind On Green Monsters. One at a Time. Its a very SLOW and Painstaking process but its VERY useful in later levels when ur doing 900-1k+ while others are doing 700. The power of this build is only expressed in high levels. Youd be best off in a party with a defender using AoE’s. The OTHER option is Levelling up as an INT or Rec Mage and then buying a Stat Reset from the Cash Shop.
Stats:
Normal Mode: 4:1 Build- 4 Luck, 1 Int or Wis (alternate Every other level). Starts rise of Crit Rate, and SLOWLY raises magic attack power and Mp.
Hard Mode: 6:1 Build- 4 Luck 1 int or wis. Same as before.
5:2 build- 5 Luck 1 Int 1 Wis. This build gives a steady increase to magic attack power and Mp.
Ultimate Mode: 6:3 Build- 6 Luck 1 Int 1 Wis 1 Rec/Dex. This is to give Some Defensive power, evasion, hp, hit rate, along with Mp, Magic Attack, and Crits. 7:2 Build- 7 Luck 1 Int 1 Wis. This gives more Crits but Less Hp and Evasion.

Hybrid mages
- A Hybrid Mage is basically, Any build you prefer. Its your mix up.
My Build was:
3 Int, 1 Wis, 1 Rec Until 20 Rec. Then i switched to 3 Int 1 Wis 1 Luk till 40 Wis, and then went to 3 int 2 Luk. With 40 wis i had a sufficient amount of mp. I added Rec at earlier levels to help me with some hp.

Leveling:
You should ALWAYS start out Soloing. NEVER try to tank mobs during your first few levels… even if you are a Rec Mage.. Your Plan of attack should be *cast spell, Run right. Cast Spell. Run Forwad. cast Spell. Run Left. Cast Spell, Run to starting point and Repeat. Only Run if the mob is near you or HITTING you…. Distance is EVERYTHING to a mage… because he doesn’t want to die. Eventually, Rec Build Mages don’t have to run because they will recieve almost no damage from mobs but the int builds and every other build should still care. As For pots, Only use them when your in a really tight spot. There is a 30 second delay on all pots.
Remember. You can JUMP and Swim. IF you swim into the water (little past shore) the monsters will STOP following you.

Mob Advice:
Int Build Mage- Isolated Mobs. Best to avoid aoeing and gathering groups of mobs. Isolated mobs prevent this from happening.
Rec Build Mage- Crowded Areas. AoE The Large Crowd from afar. Best to save your Hp so you can hunt more and rest less.

Questions:
My skills keep getting interrupted/ I don’t have enough time to cast my spells?
Some Skills take a long time to cast and skills can be interupted by (1) Getting Hit or (2) Moving before the skill is cast. Its Highly suggested you avoid 1 if not both.
Is there a way to DODGE the attacks?
Yes There Is.Double Tapping S will cause you to move Back (This will also dodge) , Pressing Q will Enable you to Dodge to the Left, And Pressing E Will Enable you to dodge to the Right. Dodging Is not an easy skill to master. It Takes time and Patience.. and Timing.
Mobs get too close before I kill them. Is there a way to do more damage??
Yes There is. Pay Close attention to the Monsters Element. If you use Spells that are against its element, you will do more damage. Another thing to keep in mind is the Cast time of your spell. make sure you are far enough from to monster to cast the spell before you try it. Casting the spell with the longest cast time first is a very good strategy.

PvP Strategies

Mages are not really built for PVP. Their only PVP strategy is to Hang back and attack the enemy that is already engaged. If you encounter an assassin or a ranger.. RUN!!!..

Against a Priest/Oracle -Only True strategy is to attack with your best attacks. Just use a stun spell or 2 to get an advantage and keep blasting away. Their Only retaliation will be spells against you. Priests/Oracles have lots of Wisdom and you will do low damage on them but stand strong. The Fight will be VERY Close.

Against a Ranger/Assassin - Strategy-> RUN!!!. Rangers/Assassins are great for pvp if not the best. They’re skills have all kinds of status effects on them and they can turn invisible… . You have SOME chance against them But only if you catch them while they are far away.

Against a Archers/Hunters - Not That Great….Unless you have a HUGE amount of mana… They have Mana Draining skills. Some Archers/Hunters may ignore it. The best strategy is to run up next to them and skill away. Stun them first so they can’t run back and fire away!.

Against a Fighter/Warrior - If you see them coming… RUN LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW!!!! Then Stun Spell.. Then use any Instant cast you can.. and RUN AGAIN.. and repeat.. thats the ONLY strategy you have. IF they hit you, you are screwed.

Against a Defender/Guardian - You have little chance of winning this battle. Defenders/Guardians have their builds ready to counter any magic or physical attack. You will do Little Damage on them but the best strategy is to Run, Stun, Cast and Repeat.
