1. Introduction
~~~~~~
Alright, Well, my name is Scott, My priston tale name is Vaxinuk, many times I
found myself looking for a guide on how to play a Magician, and I never found
one! Which really dissappointed me. So finally I decided since my Internet is
down, that I'd just take some time to make this nice lil' guide for anyone who
is intrested in learning a bit about Magicians.
Anyways, I'll Keep this guide very easy to follow and understand, none of this
fancy dancy language stuff! hehe. Also if You want to find a section in my
guide on something that you see on the Table of Contents just copy the words
and push Ctrl+F and paste the exact thing from the table of contents and
you'll be tooken right to where you want to be...hopefully -crosses fingures
that it does- *note that it only works if veiwing in a web browser*
~~~~~~~
2. Controls
~~~~~~~
The Controls in this Game are very basic, but at the start it does take some
time to getuse to of the controls. I'll explain on what each key does...
alot of this is very self explainitory, so i'll be breif on some.
W - The "W" Key changes your weapon from weapon one and weapon two (Note that
this does changeyour shield as well),this is usefull for when you have a one
handed weapon and a two handed weapon you want to keep on you all times ( I use
a Dryad wand in one spot and a Templar sword in the other...just because
templar sword looks cool lol)
E - The "E" Key changes your inventory screen from inventory 1 to inventor 2,
usefull when hunting and it says that your inventory is full, just hit E
and try pickin it up again.
D - Party / Friends List
S - Shows Skills/Spell Screen
Esc - Closes current window, and when none are open gives u the option of
quiting or help
C - Character menu
V - Inventory window
Enter - Opens chat box
Ctrl + Home - Screen Shot (YaY!)
Arrow Keys - Changes camara Angle
Z - Camara Actions
1,2 and 3 - are your belt slots, for quick potion use ...
saves your life A lot!
~~~~~~~
3. Why Play a Cros...Magician?
~~~~~~~
Well...Could be many of reasons for you wanting to play as a magician, one
because you think crossdresser are cool, or because later on their outfits
they have look fricken awesome!(which is very true) but of course that does
depend on the playin style you choose to play as a magician, played in many
different ways Magicians can be the best or the worst of the others, main
reason I made a Magician is that they are able to kill hard monsters at a
lower level (a lot of the other people can too, but easier wit magician) and
the awesome damage a magician can do to a monster.
~~~~~~~
4. Playin Styles
~~~~~~~
For playing Styles I know about 3 different ways.
1. Awesome Damage, Bad look
Pretty much all you do for this is go all out on ur Spirit, but since you
do this, you have low health, and a really ugly look, but none the less
you'll do a lot of damage. Which i guess makes up for it.
2. Good Damage, Good Look! (this is the one I like)
All your really have to do is try to put the points into your stats for your
next equipment, and if u don't know what your next equipment is, put the
stat points into your spirit and your health (try 3 spirit and 2 health)
3. What were you thinking being a magician?!
With this one...have have no idea what the people are doing, because they have
a really high STR and a really low Spirit ... if your going to do this, don't
be a magician.
~~~~~~~
5. Pros & Cons
~~~~~~~
Lets start with the Pros:
- Good Damage
- Good Looks later on in the game
- Usefull in hunts
Cons:
- Easy to die from high level monsters due to lack of defense
- If not used correctly, can be completly useless
- Some monsters are immune to some spells
~~~~~~~
6. Spells
~~~~~~~
Or skills ... whatever floats your boat. Please Do note that this area is
in work still, Due to the fact that Triglow still hasn't finish all the
teirs for EPT. I'll try to get the 4rth Teir in A.S.A.P!

---- D) 4rth Teir ----
Sadly 4rth Teir isn't in EPT yet which is very lame, so this part of my guide
won't be done for awhile now.
~~~~~~~
7. Usage of Stat and skill Points
~~~~~~~
Well...this area depends on what playing style you want (look at the playing
styles section for a bit more detail)
Style 1. Awesome Damage, bad look
Well for this al you have to do with your skill points is put it all into your
spirit, and thats it, this will limit everything you can wear to pretty much
all the stuff you can get at level 1 but you'll be able to do a lot of damage.
Style 2. Good Damage, Good look.
Well For this it takes a bit more patience, because you have to have your next
armor you want to wear, and from what i have gathered from people we should try
to get at least 45-50 str. and then go for what stats we need for our eq, if
you don't know what you need, try something like 3 Spirit and 2 of something
else you want (I used 3 Spirit and 2 Health a lot). and in the end, you'll
look pretty sweet.
Style 3. wtf?
Exactly what i call it is my question to you, wtf? lol, i guess its a good way
to go in some ways, because you'll have a lot of spells to play with for
damage as you block, pretty much all it is, is Str and talent for shields. is
it really worth it tho? sacrificing damage so you don't have to run around?
....and i thought i was lazy....
***Alternatives****
ALternative Style 1. Meeh's Stacked Health and Magic.
After I hit my head on a solid sheet of steel I decided to post this one...
START OFF GETTING TALENT TO 39, then stop putting points into it for the
rest of the game (you may want to put more points into it to get more better
weapons later in the game). From then on, every level you gain, the stats
should go like this.
STRENGTH-0
SPIRIT-3
TALENT-0
AGILITY-0
HEALTH-2
this build should end up giving your crossdres-- uh, magician, an insane amount
of HP later on (my lvl 27 magician has around 200 HP o_O) and a large amount
of spirit as well. Stamina may be a problem, but hey, thats what stamina
potions are made for ^^ . Defense shouldn't be a problem when you have so much
HP, and a low-level sacrifice will turn a small chip of your massive stockpile
of HP into a large amount of mana.
-----
Usage of the Skill/spell Points
-----
~Old School~
Alright for this its all the same really. What you want to focus on the most
is getting your agony to about level 7 and your Waterado to level 10, death
ray to about level 5 (for monsters immune to waterado), but now with this
teir 3 comming out Magicians have a new skill that should be pretty cool,
Diastrophism, so try to put a few spell points into this spell as well.
I'm still not sure about the Energy shield tho.
Well... the thought above I'll consider as "old school" now, but now Teir 3
is here and i just got a taste of it (Had to go pay to play, but i think its)
worth doing.) Teir 3 Makes Magicians practicly a god of Priston Tale now. So
I'll tell you what i did with this... heres my thought on the Spells:
~The new idea~
For level 1-40 Focus on Getting Agony to level 4, and Waternado to level 7,
at level 40 take a skill point and put it into Echant weapon, and at lvl 42,
take another skill point and put it into death ray, with this, you'll be able
to rank up, (don't finish your rank up quest till at least level 43) This way
as soon as you rank up you can redistrubute your skills (yea i know, a pain
to retrain and costy but its a good idea!), after you redistrubute your skills
put 1 Into Diastrophism, 2 into Energy Shield, 6 into Agony, and don't put
anymore points into anything else put those 3 skills, level 6 agony should
be good enough (it recovers 150 mp a caste for me now), hopefully you
should have 1 skill point left, don't get all antsy about using it, because
at level 44 you do use it! Put it into your energy shield to bring it to
level 3, then at lvl 45 put another point into Diastrophism and keep goin
back and forth with the spells till you think your Engery shield is at
a high enough level, but try to get the Diastrophism to level 10.
You may want to try something else, go for it, and if it goes really well
e-mail me telling me what you did. And i'll add it to this section for people
to learn other ways as well. (my e-mail is in the Contact area)

8. Hunting Places
~~~~~~~
A) 1-10
^^^^^^^
For level 1-10... HURRAY FOR HOPPIES! lol, stick to Road to the wind, if you
look hard enough you can find these really intense spawns in acirle like
room, a lot of monsters spawn at once, so becarefull, butin the end its good
exp for your level, or you can find a party after level 5 and go to
Valley of Tranquility
B) 11-20
^^^^^^^^
For level 11-20 I went to Acasia Forest to level there with parties, worked
really well till night came about and the wolverines came out, but after
awhiel you get use to it, and can run from them
C) 21-30
^^^^^^^^
Fore these levels, i leveled in Forest of Spirits, had a blocker to do so,
and sometimes i had a party with me too. fast exp, and intense if you like
intense fighting.
D) 31-40
^^^^^^^^
For these levels I started to Solo Oasis.
------------
Alternatives
------------
Tenkai's Thought on Leveling
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Get to level 17 in anyway possible, then go to Oasis and hunt there solo.
this tatic works till as high of a lvl as you want...or till the exp
starts to really suck. (And yes its level 17, i didn't make a mistake!)
~~~~~~~
9. Hints
~~~~~~~
Okay, in this game I found its a lot of learn as you go, with a magician tho
there is a tactic you can use, and its the Hit and run tactic, works great,
because if you stand still to take the hits in Oasis chances are you'll die
pretty fast so just put some space between you and the monster, shoot a few
times and run back and shoot again and so on. and always focus on killing
monsters with Range first.
There is a water trick in Oasis i can't explain really, but if you watch,
you'll see people in it eventually, and most of the time, they'll teach you
how to do it easily, just gotta be patient, first time to do it took me 10
min lol. (Its near where you spawn there if u die.)
