Thanks for this guide, it helps alot! Can i ask for the enchants of the Shadow Gears and enchants of Hero Boots-LT?
Thanks in advanced!

Hi I know these can be late but Those gears are borrowed from my db dk and had other enchants I believe in the video it was vitality. Right now I would recommend you to use Boots of unknown power, Will post an updated build here when I get the chance.

Thank you for this! I wonder how you get rid of the Twinkling Galaxy's fixed cast time? I believe it's 1s but I don't see you have reduction for that.

Hi, twinkling galaxy does not have any fct needs. sorry for this late response.

How to start as an Arch Mage?
This guide is to provide you some insight, this is not a step by step guide.

BASE SET:
+14 celine ribbon

+12 celine dress

celine brooch

evil spirit gloves

auto boot

+14 fallen manteau+vicious mind aura

battle processor (13% ghost)

welding wand(ghost/boss)+mad bunny (grade B +12)

Cards:
Lichtern green x2

Dame of sentinel

Eldest

Elvira x2

Nightmare verit

Mutated White Knight x2

Base Damage to compare to the rest
 
Base Damage (36.99m)

 

Comparison#1
BASE set to >>(fallen manteau+vicious aura->Survivor orb LT+convertible)
 
Base Damage (36.99m)                                                                    44,366K (44.366m) - 6.3m per tik SVS

Damage vs Price tag (damage difference) #1- price tag (50m+100m~200m, total 200~250m)
44.366    19.94%
36.99    

 

comparison#2
BASE set to >> welding+mad bunny->LT wep (no token)
 
Base Damage (36.99m)                                                                    50,970K (50.970mil) - 7.28m per tik SVS

Damage vs Price tag (damage difference) #3 - price tag (1b in zeny, join runs and make your own armor)
52.727    42.54%
36.99    

 

 

Suggested upgrade sequence (This sequence is just my opinion, not an absolute guide)
use old weapon+shield (welding+mad bunny or pks) -> from BASE SET (if you can start with orb LT+convertible, it is adviseable to not waste money on Fallen Manteau+Vicious mind aura)

1st Survivor LT Orb+Convertible Magic

2nd Grade C Helmet Thanatos is really cheap (minimal difference compared to Survivor LT and bascojin LT usage, it also has fct) **VERY CHEAP**

3rd Nebula, Grade to A if possible +11 is enough OR if you are using solid weapons (for crimson arrow build, focus on new weapon first instead, then make nebula after) because if you are going to aim for an LT weapon, you will deprive yourself from the celine combo (dress+accs) which is still useful if you do not have the nebula.

4th Grade A +14 weapon LT(w/ heroic token) or Hero Boot LT+Hero Insignia

 

 

Notes:
-Weapon upgrade is big, but I set it to last because of future patches, we may be able to get better ones while you are working on your 1st to 3rd. Nebula is here to stay for the long run.
-This is just a rough estimation, there is no fixed guide. The suggestions are based on what you might have and how the market looks right now.

 

Questions:
why not make another class instead of an archmage? 

-Arch Mage specializes in utility, drain life, big aoe, comet debuff and long range (as long as ranger) this can easily carry you through normal instances alone (Solo) the more you invest on a mage the more it can do for you.

 

Is Arch Mage the best dps?

-No it is not the best, it is at the top 6 category ranking 5th (only my opinion), rankings are in the order (SX>SE>Ranger>AM>DK>Sura) but it really varies in a fight, if you are in the end game and you have all the mvps, there are races where in physical classes cannot fully have 100% dmg boost (racial cards on armor and shoes), and mages have it and element advantage as well. Over all Arch Mage is considered a must in a party due to the debuff it can provide the team.

 

How do I define class dps roles in a group setting in purgatory? (followed up from the previous question)
-SX (Dark claw) good dps, good debuff

-DK (no buff for team/debuff to enemy), selfish dps, good frontliner, still needed for faster clearing in a 12/12 party

-Ranger (no buff for team(windwalk spam)/debuff to enemy), selfish dps, still needed for faster clearing in a 12/12 party

-Arch Mage (no buff for the team/best debuff in game (100% up time), has white imprison to survive earthquake mechanics, durable due to drain life, party will always look for one)

-Sura (no buff for the team/no debuff to enemy, selfish dps, good frontliner very durable (same class as DK), still needed for faster clearing in a 12/12 party

(other dps are not mentioned here, not because they are bad, but the purpose of this post is to give an overview (with my opinions alone) on how I see the setup.

 

Why Ghost mage vs Fire mage?

-There are a lot of mobs that you cannot hit on occasions due to it being fire, ghost mage can hit everything except lvl 4 Netural, making hell mode runs a breeze. On team fights like purgatory fire Crimson arrow is ideal because you can debuf the enemy with bloom/violent quake (100% fire boost or 100% earth boost). But as a ghost mage, you can do the same, you just need to request for AP for climax while Crimson arrow mage does not.

 

The helmet battle.

+14 Survival LT Grade B vs +12 Grade A Bascojin

Non Proc on Normal - 6.5% favor of Survival LT
Non Proc on Boss - 20% favor of Survival LT
Bascojin Proc on Normal - 20% favor of Bascojin
Bascojin Proc on Boss - 4.94% favor of Bascojin

Conclusion:
If you can proc Bascojin LT consistently, it wins over Thanos/Survival LT. Prefer to use survival LT due to it providing acd, and more consistent dps. (just my opinion)

Thanos helm - not the best but really cheap, only grade C
Survival LT - best on bosses with fixed damage, not relying on proc. Has acd good for overall performance
Bascojin - best in terms of damage for any builds that does not use headgear/headgear+weapon combo to stack skill% (ex: thanatos helm+staff for CR, circlets for CL, etc)

 

Enemy: Constellation Tower Normal Solo, Naght Seiger Large Demon Ghost 4 (Perfect enemy for us)

(Normal mode, but your damage is reduced by 90%, 105m shoulda been 1.05b???)

Non Mvp Card build, Cards used instead of MVP(s)

 

this instead of (AB 2 to give more race)

 

Extra cards you can use for shoe slot if you do not have MVP(s)

Here you go guys! Enjoy!

 

 

 

Posted on: 6/11/2022, will update when possible

ARCHMAGE Ghost Magic Supremacy

ghost magic, hits anything and everything besides neutral (lv.4) mobs

 

Ghost Magic will always be the strongest! (except...)

My current build

Samples, More to come:

Enemy: Constellation Tower Normal Solo, Naght Seiger Large Demon Ghost 4 (Perfect enemy for us)

(Normal mode, but your damage is reduced by 90%, 185m shoulda been 1.85b???)

(more clips soon, depending on free time)

 

 

How the build works:
Just stack as much ghost element magic as you can! The magic drug for ghost magic is this.

 

Whatever your ghost magic element is, Multiplied by 3!!!!

 

 

Build Components Card Screenshots:

(Survival Circlet>Thanatos against Bosses by approximately 6%, thanks for the headsup)

   

 

 

Equipment:

+14 Thanatos Magic Helm (ME3, any) [Lichtern Green]

13% Ghost BP [Lichtern Green]

Orb of Survival (7% all element, 3% vct)

+14 Nebula Robe of Spell (SC Spell2, NSpell1, Vit3) [Nightmare Amon Ra]

+14 Blue Crystal LT [Mutated WK, Regenschirm Scientist]

+15 Convertible Magic [Gioia]

+13 Hero Boot LT [Deathwitch]

Heroic Token ArchMage [Elvira]

Hero Insignia (Intelligence, Spell, int) [Elvira]

Costume Stones:

Arch Bishop Upper and Lower combo with AB Garment 2 (15% all size, 15% all element)
Magical Power Middle + Magic Power Stone Dual (9% all element)

+10 Magical Spell shadow weapon and shield (15 s.matk, spl +10)

+10 Full Temepst Set (6% all race, 100% pierce to all, 2% matk)

+10 True Gem Accessories (8% matk, 6% vct, 10% all element, 12% all size, -gemstones, +40% sp consumption)

 

CONS: Will not hit Neutral 4 Mobs, People hate ghost mages because Fire/Earth has 100% fire/earth debuff (Bloom/Violent Quake with Climax 4) which increases everyone's damage when they use fire/earth on the same mob you used it on, but! you can also use Climax 4 for destructive wind extra MATK (MORE DAMAGE), just have to ask for AP (which people don't like). Enjoy the build hope this shows that ghost mage is still alive.

what is the better helm clark sidecap or circlet?

Hi, Just saw this

As for the current update and for this guide which focused on thousand stars. Circlet still prevails due to the crit dmg % you get over all vs other hats.
The  future hats which require grading may probably over-shadow circlet one day but I don't see it happening soon for Crit Sky Emperor.

Before i made the comment, i tested few leveling maps and instances at hell mode to see if the buff really disappears upon character death. It never happened in my case, so I can't say for sure why it does so in others. 

Something we will never know for certain now at this point, maybe there's a chance to lose it and chance to keep it when dying? But yeah I hope we can just retain it upon death tbh, voted the 3rd option as it seemed more reasonable.

7 hours ago, orzorz69 said:

This argument is invalid because it is kept upon death. Except Fortessa/GA/Purgatory are the only content where it disappears upon character death.

 

Keep the changes, but retain the buff upon character death.

Or increase the chances, but lower the duration entirely.

They get removed in instances too, so you cant really say that the argument is invalid, we need more verification for this from other people who experience it.. like OGHCM hell or normal both tested that it gets removed upon death, and That should be included to the list. need to have more tests as for where else it gets removed. But upon observation while doing whatever runs me or others did, it does get removed in some instances while others are kept, weird but it just happens. 

Hope AP itself doesn't get lost for all classes when they die in Purga/Fortessa gets implemented... Any dying gonna be livid.

Would be cool if you added more images on the gears so people like me (beginners) could follow up better

Hi Apologies for that, I uploaded a new video with the better gears I settled with (which can still be improved min-max wise)... The difference between first video and second is that first video uses PKS+Poen Weapon+Illusion Booster(not automatic)+Almighties Set+10 while.. Second Video uses Mad Bunny and LT One Sky+Heroic Token (Sky Emperor)+Maximum Mammoth Set+10 which gives a lot of damage boost, besides that the rest are similar.



These are the upgrades..

First video's purpose was to show that you can still do 2b but you gotta lex.. (you can still use lex scroll, but at Lv 10 The timing of casting the lex with ping issues+scroll usage delay, might spawn the portal before hand. but pretty doable on Lv 7 below.)
Second Video's purpose is to be-able to do 2b without lex... I had limited Cardi/AB alts, so I upgraded my gears so that I can do 2b without lexing.

doesnt we need 200+ crit rate instead of 120? because crit modifier applied by half ??

It's only on some skills. like Cross impact GX.

1 hour ago, southane said:

err, 1 question. it says "chance to trigger critical = user's crit".. so why do we need 120 crit? isnt 100 is enough? or, 120 crit is for 200+ mobs?

Mobs usually have high luck, if we still follow the same crit defense formula... lets say amdarais phantom has 64 LUK


(taken from iRO wiki: https://irowiki.org/wiki/Stats)
64 Luk for amdarais Phantom
64/5 is 12.8 roundup "13" we need 113 crit rate to always be critting on a 64 luck mob (phantom amdarais).
Himmelez on the other hand has 98

98/5 is 19.6 rounded up "20" we need 120 crit rate to always be critting on a 98 luck mob

This guide is made to give awareness of Sky Emperor's crit build greatness.
Damage results will all be based on the instance "OGHCM".
