If It Were Not For These Individuals, I Would Not Have Been Able To Update My Guide And I Am Extremely Grateful To Them.

NOTE**- This is a guide made from my experience as a Mage on Shaiya. It is only a guide for players to read, and then see if it works for them and comment on (xD). . Please feel Free to comment and criticize. It took me a few months to complete this guide (Played Shaiya China).. so please.. comment. theres a lot of info in this.

First things first. Pagans and Mages are the same. Pagans are part of the Union of Fury. The Vail are given the choice of becoming Pagans. Mages are part of the Alliance of Light. Elves are given the choice of becoming Mages. Each Class on Shaiya has a Counter Class. Therefore: All Alliance Of Light Classes are Available to Union Of Fury Member.. The only difference is the names.

Alliance Of Light Classes And Their Counter Classes:
Mage = Pagan
Archer = Hunter
Ranger = Assassin
Fighter = Warrior
Defender = Guardian
Priest = Oracle

PvP Strategies

I’ll be giving Breaf Explainations on Stats, outlining some Builds, giving tips on levelling, what skills to get, useful items, mobbing and ofcource.. PVP Strategies to help you live .

Stats in Shaiya

Strength(Also Known As Str) – Physical Attack Power, Ranged Attack Power
Rec. Defense(Also Known As Rec) – Physical Defense power, Ranged Defence Power, Total Hitpoints (HP)(The Red Bar.)
Intelligence(Also Known As Int) – Magic Attack Power
Wisdom(Also Known As Wis) – Magic Defensive Power, Magic Hit Rate, Total Magical Power (MP)(The Blue Bar)
Dexterity(Also Known As Dex) – Evasion Rate, Hit Rate, And Stamina (SP)(The Yellow Bar)
Luck- Ranged Attack power,Critical Hit Rate, Maximum Critical Attack Damage.

The Only TRULY useless Stat for mages is Strength. Mages Do Not use Physical Attacks.. EVER.. They have no need to physically attack when they can do 50 damage at level 1 using magic .

The Difficulty Modes:
Easy Mode
Normal Mode
Hard Mode
Ultimate Mode

Explaination of Difficulty Modes:
Easy Mode- Maximum Level 30. You gain 3 Skill Points and 5 Stat Points every level up. You Cannot Use Special Skills. Very Easy To Level. Not Recommended for ANYONE.
Normal Mode- Maximum Level 60. You gain 3 Skill Points and 5 Stat Points Every Level. Special Skills Enabled. Good Levelling Rate. Recommended Starting Difficulty. Level 50 Required To Unlock Hard Mode
Hard Mode- Maximum Level 60. You gain 4 Skill Points and 7 Stat Points Every Level. Special Skills Enabled. Bonus Skill (Hard Mode and Ultimate Skill mode Skill) Enabled. Slower Levelling Rate. Will require grinding. Level 60 Required to Unlock Ultimate Mode.
Ultimate Mode- Maximum Level 60. You gain 5 Skill Points and 9 Stat Points Every Level. Special Skills Enabled. Bonus Skills (Hard and Ultimate Mode ONLY) Enabled. Slower Levelling Rate. If you Die in this difficulty, you will have to start from level 1. Recommended Hunting Strategy-> PARTY WITH PRIESTS AND DEFENDERS!

Builds:
Builds are NEVER absolute so feel free to mix em up to fit your playing style. The following builds are only guidelines.

RECOMMENDED Builds:
Int Mage- Many People choose to play as an Int Mage because Int Mages will do high damage from low levels. (100+ at level 10)
Rec Mage- Not a very popular Build. You cannot hold aggro, And you are always reliant on your AoE Spells. Very Low Damage.

Int-mage:

Positive: Very High Attacks and VERY fast Levelling.
Negative : Very Low Hp, Low Evasion, Low Hit Rate….sigh..

Levelling Recommendations: Solo Hunt (1 at a time). Party Hunt with a Defender. (Mobbing). IF you are party hunting, Go for the Yellow named mobs. (THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME WAY TO LEVEL!!!!)

Stat Distribution:
Pure Intelligence OR 4 Int 1 Wis (for mp). Follow the 4:1 path UNTIL you feel you have Sufficient MP.

Rec-mage: (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL BUT..if you want to play solo, go for it )

Positive: Very High Defense, High Hp, Great For Soloing, Easy Money
Negative: Medium-> Low Attack Power (physical and Magic). HIGHLY reliant on AoE Attacks.

Leveling Path: Solo Green monster Mobs that use Physical Attacks. If you attempt to fight Magic using monsters, you will die. Lure a lot of them (4+), You will get almost no damage, Use AoE Attack. Party Hunting is NOT recommended, you won’t be much help to them, and your experience gained will drop. Best to keep soloing Green mobs, you won’t die and you will get a significant amount of money to buy equipment and items that can help you increase your attack power.

Stat Distribution:
4:1 Build. 4 Rec 1 Int or Wis (alternate every level. ex: Odd level = int, even level= wis). Gives you High Defense and Hp while SLOWLY increasing your Mp and Magic Attack Power.

Luck mage (Very much a PAIN in the *** to level but most useful in Hard mode and Ultimate mode)

Positive: HIGH Crit Rate, High Crit Damage, HIGHEST ATTACK BUILD!
Cons: SLOW Levelling Rate. Reliant on AoE’s in PARTIES ONLY..otherwise single monster magic.

Leveling Path:Grind On Green Monsters. One at a Time. Its a very SLOW and Painstaking process but its VERY useful in later levels when ur doing 900-1k+ while others are doing 700. The power of this build is only expressed in high levels. Youd be best off in a party with a defender using AoE’s. The OTHER option is Levelling up as an INT or Rec Mage and then buying a Stat Reset from the Cash Shop.

Stats Distribution:
4:1 Build- 4 Luck, 1 Int or Wis (alternate Every other level). Starts rise of Crit Rate, and SLOWLY raises magic attack power and Mp.
5:0 Build- 5 Luck. This will Raise your Luck but will leave your magic attack power very low.

Hybrid mages
– A Hybrid Mage is basically, Any build you prefer. Its your mix up.
My Build was:
3 Int, 1 Wis, 1 Rec Until 20 Rec. Then i switched to 3 Int 1 Wis 1 Luk till 40 Wis, and then went to 3 int 2 Luk. With 40 wis i had a sufficient amount of mp. I added Rec at earlier levels to help me with some hp.

Last Notes- Do Not Try a Dex Build. It SUCKS. i remade my char cause i kept dying with a dex build.
Last Notes 2.0- Hybrid builds are also tests. I used that build in CB and i found it a little flimsy compared to my set up atm (i can do 1.7k+ dmg )

Leveling Guide:
You should ALWAYS start out Soloing. NEVER try to tank mobs during your first few levels… even if you are a Rec Mage.. Your Plan of attack should be *cast spell, Run right. Cast Spell. Run Forwad. cast Spell. Run Left. Cast Spell, Run to starting point and Repeat. Only Run if the mob is near you or HITTING you…. Distance is EVERYTHING to a mage… because he doesn’t want to die. Eventually, Rec Build Mages don’t have to run because they will recieve almost no damage from mobs but the int builds and every other build should still care. As For pots, Only use them when your in a really tight spot. There is a 30 second delay on all pots. When you are around level 17, you should find an AoE party and level in Cornwell Dungeon (can reach 22 within 2 hours if rooms are free), at level 27 AoE Party in Fedion Dungeon, at level 36 AoE party in Maitryen Dungeon, at level 41+ AoE party in Cloron Lair. (you can hit 50 just partying in Cloron Lair)

Remember. You can JUMP and Swim. IF you swim into the water (little past shore) the monsters will STOP following you.
Once you are level 8, make sure you get some AoE spells, and if you can grab a tank/defender, go for an AoE party. You will level up fast.

Mob Advice:
Int Build Mage- Isolated Mobs. Best to avoid aoeing and gathering groups of mobs. Isolated mobs prevent this from happening.
Rec Build Mage- Crowded Areas. AoE The Large Crowd from afar. Best to save your Hp so you can hunt more and rest less.

Questions:

My skills keep getting interrupted/ I don’t have enough time to cast my spells?

Some Skills take a long time to cast and skills can be interupted by (1) Getting Hit or (2) Moving before the skill is cast. Its Highly suggested you avoid 1 if not both.

Is there a way to DODGE the attacks?

Yes There Is.Double Tapping S will cause you to move Back (This will also dodge) , Pressing Q will Enable you to Dodge to the Left, And Pressing E Will Enable you to dodge to the Right. Dodging Is not an easy skill to master. It Takes time and Patience.. and Timing.

Mobs get too close before I kill them. Is there a way to do more damage??
Yes There is. Pay Close attention to the Monsters Element. If you use Spells that are against its element, you will do more damage. Another thing to keep in mind is the Cast time of your spell. make sure you are far enough from to monster to cast the spell before you try it. Casting the spell with the longest cast time first is a very good strategy.

PvP Strategies
My Personal Experience Revamped-> The Truth, if played properly, Mages can be an AWESOME PVP Class.

Against a Priest/Oracle -Only True strategy is to attack with your best attacks. Just use a stun spell or 2 to get an advantage and keep blasting away. Their Only retaliation will be spells against you. Priests/Oracles have lots of Wisdom and you will do low damage on them but stand strong. The Fight will be VERY Close.

Against a Ranger/Assassin – Strategy-> This is where your magic roots/strike roots skill comes in handy, Root the enemy and fire away. If they get close, use stamina slug and move back. Repeat the strategy.

Against a Archers/Hunters – This can be a close fight because Archers/Hunters have mana draining skills. Best strategy, have pots and attack using high damaging spells.

Against a Fighter/Warrior – If you see them coming… RUN LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW!!!! Then Stun Spell.. Then use any Instant cast you can.. and RUN AGAIN.. and repeat.. thats the ONLY strategy you have. IF they hit you, you are screwed. Fighters have HIGH damage rate and not bad HP.

Against a Defender/Guardian – 50/50 chance of winning. It depends on what the defender/guardian has done with their build. If they are a pure rec build, you have a good chance but if they have a large amount of wisdom, your pretty much screwed.

Builds:
Builds are NEVER absolute so feel free to mix em up to fit your playing style. The following builds are only guidelines.

RECOMMENDED Builds:

Hard Mode- Int Mage

Int-mage:

Positive: Very High Attacks and VERY fast Levelling.
Negative : Very Low Hp, Low Evasion, Low Hit Rate….sigh..

Levelling Recommendations: Solo Hunt (1 at a time). Party Hunt with a Defender. (Mobbing). IF you are party hunting, Go for the Yellow named mobs. (THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME WAY TO LEVEL!!!!)

Stat Distribution:
7 Int- Pure Int Build, gives highest magic attack (At low levels)
6:1 Build- 6 int 1 Wis. Add Wis until you have enough Mp. Then continue with All Int.
5:2 Build- Add 5 int, 1 Wis and 1 Luk . This will give you Mp and Hp along with bringing up your crit rate.

Rec-mage: (HIGHLY UN-RECOMMENDED)

Positive: Very High Defense, High Hp, Great For Soloing, Easy Money
Negative: Medium-> Low Attack Power (physical and Magic). HIGHLY reliant on AoE Attacks.

Leveling Path: Solo Yellow -> Orange Mobs that use Physical Attacks. If you attempt to fight Magic using monsters, you will die. Lure a lot of them (4+), You will get almost no damage, Use AoE Attack. Party Hunting is NOT recommended, you won’t be much help to them, and your experience gained will drop. Best to keep soloing Yellow -> Orange mobs, you won’t die and you will get a significant amount of money to buy equipment and items that can help you increase your attack power. Do Not Try To Solo Yellow Mobs until level 14.

Stat Distribution:
6:1 Build- 6 Rec, 1 int or wis. (alternate every level. ex: Odd level = int, even level= wis). Gives you High Defense and Hp while SLOWLY increasing your Mp and Magic Attack Power.
5:2 Build- 5 Rec, 1 Int, 1 Wis. SLIGHTLY less Defense in this one BUT more Magic Attack Power and MP.

NOTE- REC build is NOT recommended for Hard mode.

Luck mage (Very Useful at level 40+)

Positive: HIGH Crit Rate, High Crit Damage, HIGHEST ATTACK BUILD!
Cons: SLOW Levelling Rate. Reliant on AoE’s in PARTIES ONLY..otherwise single monster magic.

Leveling Path: Grind on Green Mobs (Like Normal Mode). At around level 40 you will be doing around 2k+ Damage on every other hit because you will have near 400 luck making your crit rate around 80%. Luck Mages Are not very liked by parties at low levels because of the low damage they do. I HIGHLY recommend levelling as a full int mage and then buying a stat initializing stone from the Item Mall and resetting your stats to full luck

Stat Distribution:
6:1 Build- 4 Luck 1 int or wis. Increases Luck rapidly while increasing magic attack power and magic attack accuracy slowly.
5:2 build- 5 Luck 1 Int 1 Wis. This build gives a steady increase to magic attack power and Mp While having large amounts of crit rate and crit dmg.

Hybrid mages

Pros: Ability to have a flexible building strategy, Lots of Test Time.
Cons: Frustrating for those expecting High Damage, Reliant on AoE’s. Will have a hard time soloing, Slow Levelling

Levelling Path: Party Grind on Yellows. You will do less damage than the Full Int Mages, so levelling will be a litle.. Frustrating.

Stat Destribution:
3:2:2 Build- 3 Int, 2 Wis, 2 Luck. Adds some magic attack, mana,magic attack accuracy, and begins building Crit Rate
3:3:1 Build- 3 Int, 3 Luck, 1 Wis- Adds some magic attack, being building Crit rate Steadily, adds some mana, magic attack accuracy.
