well it's very hard at the beginning but i must say that level 4 is a very
useful level. you get two of you most used spells (i still use them at 15th
level) which are root and gate. at level 8 you get your first spell that
really deals damage. to compare, the level 4 direct damage spell does 15 and
the level 8 does over 40! not to mention other spells. but the wizard really
starts coming into power at level 12. you get your money making spell (many
people will flame me for this) which is Bind Affinity. and you're new spell
does 80 damage. you also get some more utility spells. I'm not even at level
16 yet but i'll tell you that those spells are incredible. now there are two
types of wizard spells. Bolt spells and Shock spells. Bolts do more damage
but they MUST have a clear path to the target. if they hit anything in
between they stop. Shock spells are generally weaker but hit the target
instantly. Both can be useful. i still use Fire Bolt (lvl 8 spell) when the
target is far away because that gives me time to cast root before the target
gets hit. Now that i've talked about spells let me give you advice for
hunting.
levels 1-8 or 9 (to be safe) you want to stay in Nektulos forest and East
commons. at level 8 or 9 you're ready to go to the place that you'll
probably be in for at least 3 - 4 levels. the Desert of Ro. North Ro is the
easiest place in the desert. in between Northern and Southern Ro is the
Oasis or Marr. that is a pretty hard zone and has some powerful monsters. I
still spend a lot of time in Ro and i'm 15.
So that's about it. i'm sure once you realize how good the exp is in Ro
you'll stay for a while then start exploring, maybe going to Felwithe (if
you can stay invis long enough to get to the docks in freeport.
good luck on your new character!
