Levels 16 to 20
Once level 16, you are probably going to want to take the first of the Mage Quests. View the Quest Guide for more details on the quests you can take. These quests will give you some armor/weapons that can be quite beneficial to your character.
At somepoint you will want to start saving for your Staff of Mana (SOM). This is one of the main weapons that you will need as a mage. Unfortunatly, the quest to receive this item was removed a while back. If you need to get a SOM, the only way to obtain one is by buying it from another player. The price on these may be fairly high and there won’t be too many +0 SOM’s around so you may have to buy a +6 SOM. The SOM is very critical to a Mage as it allows you to regain mana by hitting monsters. This allows you to stay full on Mana while hunting and not having to stop and regenerate all the time.
Once you get to level 16 it is time to buy the next level spells which are all worth around 1-2K each. You will want all 5 of these spells but I would recommend getting the Fireball spell as early as possible. Once you obtain the Fireball spell, life can become a bit easier. You are probably at a point where you can start hunting SWL or the MLC. The main monsters you are going to want to be killing are Skeletons (12), Skeleton Archers (12), Werewolves (9), Dwarf Warriors (9), Zombie (8), Orc Fighters (8). The numbers following the monsters are how many lawful points they give when you kill them. I would venture to the SWL (with a friend) and hunt many of the monsters there. The Black Knights are good too use your Fireball spell on them. Use it 3 times to kill them. Just have your finger on the Red Pots hot key and feel free to run a bit. One thing I used the f-b spell for is to go into the MLC and into the two orc/zombie rooms near the entrance. You hit one orc and they all run to you. When you get a group of them, f-b them 2 times and they are all dead. You get a lot of lawful points doing this. Once again, have some reds handy. This is also handy if you want to hunt Lizards along the beach between Silver Knights Towna and Windawood. Run around gathering 4 or 5 Lizards and then f-b them. Be ready to pump some reds though as they do hurt at this point. Take a dog along to help kill them as the Lizards won’t turn on your dog.
