Free Stats

[xlilhammx]

Okay, I just joined Fiesta like, 20 minutes ago and I have no idea what to do with my Free Stats. BTW, I'm a mage.

So far I have:
STR 1
DEX 5
END 3
INT 13
SPR 7(+2)

I read somewhere that INT & SPR are good for mages, so I tried to put up my SPR-hence the (+2). I can't find a thread that has a guide on this, and every other one I've read has different answers. Can someone help? :confused:

These are my opinions, don't flame me about my opinions ok? :]

There are four ways a mage can use their free stats as best as they can.

Full Int
Full Spr
Int/Spr
Spr/Int

Full Int = This will increase your magic damage, which is something you need since mages are Damage Dealers. Even when soloing you can take down the mob before it gets to you. But it doesn't increase it too well, I personally don't recommend it.

Full Spr = This will increase your critical rate, magic defense, and MaxSP. Not too sure if critical rate works with magic so I can't say much on that. Magic defense is only needed if soloing a magic mob. MaxSP mages need SP, the more you have, the more you can cast and the less you have to rest or use pots/stones.

Int/Spr = Some people say 2Int:1Spr, others say 3Int:1Spr, etc. Int/Spr means you'll use more points in Int than Spr. Increasing your damage while slightly increasing your MaxSP.

Spr/Int = Same thing as Int/Spr except backwards lol Slight increase in damage, more increase in MaxSP.

I don't recommened Str, End, or Dex. You're not gonna meele...EVER!!! You don't need Str. Not too sure if Dex increases magic accuracy, it does increase evasion but there won't be much difference, most likely cause the mob won't get to you. End, same as dex. Mages and archers are ranged and Damage Dealers. Most builds don't use these three stats.

What I recommend is Full Spr. Why? Int doesn't increase damage too much so its no use. +1.2 damage every point is not much, as you level up you'll regret adding to Int. But you will need more SP to use less pots/stones and be able to cast more, money saver in other words :]

Remember my OPINION! XD

[xlilhammx]

hmm, sounds reasonable to me (:
Haha, I'm guessing people get flamed here often D;
Oh well, thanks, I'll try using SPR only then.

[Kiseph]

lol No problem, and yes. If you read other forums you will not believe the flames D:

I have all the jobs (main is cleric). I have tried each build and "I personally believe..." that Full Spr is the best. From what I've seen as my cleric, mages need to cast alot o.o;; They seriously waste more SP than me!

If anyone knows where that quote is from I'll give them a prize ;P

SPR is much more useful for the added critical rate than it is for the extra sp :]. But yeah, the extra sp is a nice plus.

[Semaj]

sp is essential to any class in my oppinion, even fighters need sp for their skills to do more damage. and to taunt. taunt is awsome lol.

my mage is doing a 3:1 int:spr build, but this is because he is a party mage only (unless farming for mats, green guys only). i dont really solo with him, just party with guild buddies...so with a tank i can just concentrate on dealing damage, and having pots as a production skill, i never really run out of them.

[Kiseph]

I would say the biggest question for a mage build is: Do you have enough money?

If you do, you don't have to worry about sp and can focus on int. But if you don't, then sp would be a great money saver.

But you can also go Full Spr even if you have alot of money. You save more so you can buy other things like your spells or staffs or armor.

Although what you said is true, pots production does help.

[Senovit]

More sp isn't really going to save on pots in the long run, unless you're killing mobs so strong you have to use an sp stone halfway through >_>. Or unless there's a drastic enough difference that it regens in the house faster.
