Welcome to an introductory guide into the Muse class and its offense-specialized advanced job class, Mage. We will cover topics that new wielders of energy should familiarize themselves with and a basic overview of how their class works. Let us start with the basics, your stats: STAT OVERVIEW Here we see an example of how a Mage’s stat spread should be prioritized. Your principal stat is INT (Intelligence) and your secondary stat is STR (Strength).

It’s a really good overall stat as it helps you, carry more items and be a bit sturdier in battle. Dexterity: Dexterity is centered on dual-wielded weapons, which mages do not use, therefore you typically avoid this stat. Intelligence: Intelligence is your principal stat as a mage, since it directly empowers the damage you do while wielding a staff. It also increases your MP which helps you keep unleashing your spells for extended periods of time. Concentration: The only reasons mages would consider putting points into concentration is due to the fact it increases accuracy. In situations where you find yourself silenced, out of MP, or against hordes of weaker enemies that can take a while to chew through using spells, auto attacks have value. While it has its uses, putting points into concentration is not recommended until far into your development as a mage. Charm: The only aid Charm brings that a Mage would be interested in...
