Subject: Re: PLEASE!!


As you say in your letter you rarely fight white or yellow monsters AND you
are useles in grup fighting 5+ monsters Rigth! But why other magic users
CAN solo white and yellow AND can help in battle with high reds?

I heared that from lv 34 we start to be better but i don know is this
important for us as i heared this before for lv 20 after this lv 24 and so on.

I understand that under lv 20 for Verant are low levels, From 20 to 39 is
midle levels and from 39 to 50 are high levels and Verant make wizards
shine at this levels and until then we have STRIONG exp penality i dont
know how much i heared 25% but it is realy much i think ner 10 or 15% is
more thrue!
