Archmage Expert Guide by Kopek RTENOTITLE

General info Mage Full Male.png

With every level, a mage will gain 5 hitpoints, 30 mana and 10 oz. of capacity.

Mage regenerates 1hp every 12 seconds and 1 mana every 3 seconds.

Archmage regenerates 1 hp every 12 seconds and 1 mana every 2 seconds.

Archmage is not the best pick for RPG players because its expensive to PG on tomb, it lacks ability to make good teamhunts till mid-high level. It's best vocation for PvP and its also great on high level teamhunts, but has really limited amount of good hunting places for solo hunts.

Tips

  • You need to have Premium Account to conjure most of the useful runes.
  • You don't need to rush Order of the Holy Rose like druids do, but its great to have possibility to make Ice HMMs, even if you don't use them, you can boost your mlvl making them on mana fluids, or just runemaking them for profit.
  • Untill about 150lvl your gameplay is basically the same as druid's. Your healing is more expensive than druid's but you have better abilities to clean quests with Ultimate Explosion and in PvP. On mid-high lvl you will be able to make really quick exp while boosting your mlvl using Energy Beams, Great Energy Beam and Energy Beams to hunt.
  • Magic vocations lacks capacity. Get as light equipment as possible. Sometimes when you re hunting monsters that doesn't often hit you, its worth to hunt without legs.
  • Hunting with runes as mage is expensive, especially when you have low magic level. It's worth to hunt with summons to around 50 level, while making your own runes.
  • Try being online as long as possible runemaking. It boosts your mlvl a lot, and you can sell runes for profit or save them for furture hunts.
  • Before lvl 21 (level needed to summon Crystal Bug) the best weapon to use is War Hammer, after reaching it you don't really need a weapon, so you can wear Candelabrum picked up lit from world spawns for infinite light.

You don't need to follow the table step by step, there are chances that you will loot attributed items that are better than these on the list, its just the usual way people change their equipment.

When should you use small explosive runes, and when it's better to use Magician's Staff? The table below will give you a general idea.

Pros Cons When to use
Burst Arrow Boosts exp/h a lot, cheap damage compared to SDs Hard to get in big amounts, you receive more damage because you can't use your shield. Also, if you don't use them correctly they will increase your waste from hunts. On higher levels, while you're hunting with a knight who is blocking at least 2 strong monsters. Also, good for hunting Warlocks, and monsters with weak physical damage.
Magician's Staff +1mlvl, +50hp, good def, good light source, you can easily 1shot weak monsters like spiders blocking your way. a bit worse def than MMS Always when you aren't using small explosive runes.


Mana per gold

Name Mana Gain Cost Mana Per Gold Pros Cons
LIFE RING Life Ring 390 900gp 0.43 You can loot them or Life Crystals from creatures. Not efficient, takes long time to gain mana.
ROH Ring of Healing 936 2000gp 0.47 Weight basically nothing, quite fast regeneration. A lot slower compared to mana fluids, usually less efficient than mana fluids.
MANA FLUID Mana Fluid 20-75 100gp 0.475 Regenerates mana in PZ. You can refill mana in no time. Better efficiency than ROHs Weights a lot. Random amount of mana refilled.
MANA FLUID Mana Fluid (returned vial) 20-75 100gp 0.5 Regenerates mana in PZ. You can refill mana in no time. Better efficiency than ROHs Weights a lot. Random amount of mana refilled. You need to return them to NPC.


Hunting Spots

Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, there is a lot of other spawns and tasks you can do. It's recommended to do factions meanwhile.


Solo hunting

Level Monster name Location Notes Method
8-9 Snakes Map.png Easy task to earn your first 4000gp from task. BRUTAL FORCE
9-15 Wasps Map.png They don't drop any food, so you should take some brown or fire mushrooms with you. If you have a plate set they won't do any damage. Cast Utevo lux whenever you have mana. BRUTAL FORCE
15-18 Rotworms Map.png Good source of food. Train your mlvl until you can make HMM or Ultimate Healing Rune. It's best if you bring some source of light with so that you can make runes. BRUTAL FORCE
18-21 Skeletons Map.png Bring some source of light with yourself. Parcels or any other non-walkable for low tier monster items helps a lot. BRUTAL FORCE
21-27 Larvas Map.png The Osaris Faction task. Summon only one Crystal Bug and hunt on -1 floor. If possible, skin them using Skinning Knife. SUMMON
27-33 Dwarf Soldiers Map.png Decent source of lootbag items. SUMMON
27+ Minotaurs Map.png Very good source of money and experience. Be careful of meeting General Manos. Combine this task with other Dwarf faction tasks. Do 1000 Orc Warrior task to get access to rift. SUMMON
33-38 Cyclops Map.png They barely drop anything but its good source of exp. SUMMON
38-44 Dwarf Guards Map.png Very good source of money. Keep at least few runes of GFB in case of backspawn, and while entering the cave. SUMMON BACKUP HEAL
44-46 Scarabs Map.png The Osaris Faction task. Bad source of gold but this task is required. SUMMON
46-55 Mummies + Crypt Shamblers Map.png The Lightbringer Faction task. You need to finish the 5th mission of Imperial Faction in order to start it. Ask somebody to help you with the first mission of The Lightbringer Faction, if you can't kill Skull Reaper on your own. Very good source of gold and exp. Lure out ghosts and be careful of Crypt Shamblers, it's worth to use HMMs on them. SUMMON BACKUP HEAL HMM
55+ Dream Tomb -3 Map.png It's worth hunting tombs, but only if you want to quickly boost your level. A lot of waste but great exp. Take Crypt Shamblers or Slime Task. If you don't want to waste money, keep hunting Dwarf Guards or Mummies. GFBFB
55+ Waterblob Map.png The first task of Order of the Holy Rose. It's quick and easy. Waterblob is basically fire-immune Slime. Shoot summons with LMM or HMM, and then kill the mother. It will count summons as task kills. HMM
70+ Crystalbeast Map.png Map.png Part of Order of the Holy Rose. Easy to kill with HMMs, if you have troubles use Stealth Ring or Utana Vid. HMM
80+ Wendigo Map.png Part of Order of the Holy Rose. Wendigos are stronger than the previous task monsters because they have distance lifedrain attack. Be careful if you're luring more than 1. Wendigos respawns quickly, so make sure to not get backspawned. Keep in mind that Wendigo Antlers are rare skins so high levels might pay you a lot of money for them. Wendigo Claws, on the other hand, are needed for the First Knight Addon, so it shouldn't be hard to quickly sell them and profit a lot. HMM

90+ Dragon Map.pngMap.png If you don't want to waste money on tombs, try hunting Dragons with summoned Revenants. BACKUP HEAL
100+ Snow Ravager Map.png In terms of strength, they are similar to Dragons. Snow Ravagers don't have any distance spells, but their melee can hurt a lot. Lure a few of them at once and use GFBs or hunt them 1 by 1 with Heavy Magic Missile. But, be careful, because there is not much place to run. HMM GFB
100+ Orc Berserker Map.png Perfectly lured Orc Fortress is a great place to chill profit with decent exp. Lure groups of Orc Berserkers, and kill them with GFBs or FBs. GFBFB
110+ Blood Tomb -5 Map.png It's worth hunting tombs only if you want to quickly boost your level. A lot of waste but great exp. Take any tomb monster task you haven't completed yet.

160+ Serpentine Tomb -1 -2 Map.png Great exp with a better return than Blood or Dream Tombs. Spawn breaks at around 900k/h. Perfect place for the Necromancer task. It's one of the most popular hunting spots for high level mages. GFBFB

Teamhunting

Most hunting places don't require specific vocations as shooters. Druids can secure blocker and heal him cheaper than it would be with UHs, but Archers are able to block monster in case of retargeting.

Level Monster name Location Notes Method
80+ Dragon Lord Map.png Not really efficient way of hunting, but fun to do so. If you can, bring druid with yourself to heal knight, or archer to convince demon skeletons for extra damage.. Stand in place where you won't get backspawn, wait for knight to lure Dragon Lords one by one. Knight Full Male.png+ SUMMON+HMM
100+ Dragon Map.png Map.png Just hunt them with HMMs and avoid waves. Knight Full Male.png+HMM

160+ Manticore Map.png On this level you should be able to hunt Manticores one by one with Ice HMMs. Never stand in front of Manticore, in case of retarget archer should bodyblock it. You should always carry at least one Dwarven Ring. Be careful in case of retarget, because that could be lethal. Knight Full Male.png+RANGER+ICE HMM
160+ Ice Golem Map.png Part of Order of the Holy Rose. Knight blocking 3 golems at once is the best and fastest way do finish the task. Be careful of Ice Colossus spawning. Knight Full Male.png+EXPLO+BURSTS
160+ Nether Spider Map.png Part of Order of the Holy Rose. On this level you should be able to easily hunt them with explos 3 by 3 with with blocker or Energy Beam them for mlvl boost and better exp. Knight Full Male.png+EXPLO/EXEVO MORT HUR+Energy BeamBURSTS
170+ Frost Dragons Map.png Part of Order of the Holy Rose. Hunting them alone is hard and irritating, teamhunting gives you decent return of money and good exp. Treat like stronger Dragon Lords. Knight Full Male.png+RANGER+EXEVO MORT HUR+Great Energy Beam+BURSTS
180+ Sphinx link=https://wiki.mediviastats.info/The Forgotten Kingdom Quest#Mission_4_-_The_Poison_Seal Nice comfortable exp with decent loot, be careful in case of luring more than one. You should use Energy Ring all the time. Knight Full Male.png+RANGER+ICE HMM+Energy Ring
210+ Manticore Map.png You are high enough to hunt them 2 by 2. Be careful in case of retarget, because that could be lethal. Knight Full Male.png+RANGER+EXPLO
220+ Demons Map.png Really comfortable place to hunt. One of few places that you can use efficiently UE to hunt. Main room of DHQ is great place to do White Dress task, but don't hunt there if you feel too low. Knight Full Male.png+EXPLO+BURSTS/+UE
220+ Queen's Follower Map.png Final task of Order of the Holy Rose. Usually the task is huge waste, but it's worth it. Chance to loot Demonic Axe or Hellforged Legs, which if you loot them, you will have a lot of profit. Always carry SSAs while going to hunt them. You need druid to hunt them. Lure QFs one by one near doors, close them, and make Wild Growth on their place. Shoot Energy Bomb and kill them as fast as possible. Use Energy Ring if she's too close while making Wild Growth. Druid+WILD GROWTH+ENERGY BOMB+SD+BURSTS
230+ Sphinx link=https://wiki.mediviastats.info/The Forgotten Kingdom Quest#Mission_4_-_The_Poison_Seal Now you should be able to hunt two of them at once using Explos. Taking another person with yourself will break the spawn. Use Energy Ring all the time. Knight Full Male.png+EXPLO+BURSTS+Energy Ring
250+ Lightbringer Camp Map.png One of best ingame spawns for PG teamhunts. Great place to do Lightbringer Knight task. Huge exp/h, big waste. You can skip killing Lightbringer Heroes if you don't break spawn, but it boosts exp a lot, and can result in looting Executioner's Sword and Hellforged Legs. Always wear Energy Ring while killing Lightbringer Hero. Knight Full Male.png+EXEVO MORT HUR+Great Energy Beam/Energy Ring+SD
