Human Mystic guide

Good INT, M.Atk., M.Atk Speed. Good HP, CON and DEX for a Mystic.

Least Accuracy, Critical chance, Evasion, P.Atk Speed of all. Low MEN, WIT, DEX and STR for a Mystic.

Human Mystics get some good low level quests; you can quickly get over 1,000 adena within the first few levels, but the first quest you should do is the map quest, so you know how to get around! Find one of the Magisters in your starting area and talk to him, then do what he asks.

When you reach Level 2 (which takes about five minutes of hunting) go to town and talk to Guard Arnold. He's got a job that he's willing to pay good adena for, and it helps you get familiar with the village. Another quest you should do right away is the one Lighthouse Keeper Rockswell gives. Go talk to him (he is at the Lighthouse marked on the map), kill Keltirs for keltir Fur. Take the fur to Cristel who is by the well in town and get the keltir furs sewn together. Then go talk to Warehouse Keeper Rolfe and go back to Lighthouse Keeper Rockswell. (Walkthroughs for all of these are available in the Quests chapter.)

Now you have made a quick 1000+ adena for some early shopping. It's a good idea to get your first new weapon, an Apprentice Rod, as apposed to your Apprentice Wand. Now you should try kiting Giant Toads near the river. Cast at them with Wind Strike and run a bit before casting again. If this feels too hard, kill more Keltirs. Once you reach Level 5, go talk to Warehouse Keeper Wilford, who gives you a quest to recover his Adamantite that the Giant Toads have eaten. Kill Giant Toads until you get 20 Adamantite and go back to Wilford to get paid.

You can start learning new skills when you reach Level 7. Talk to one of the Magisters in town to learn skills; get any necessary books from the Magic shop .

Now you have done the first few quests and can level up a bit until you reach Level 9. Killing Giant Toads and possibly Orcs and Werewolves should do the trick. Check your map and go to Cedric's Training Hall. Talk to Roien who gives you your next quest. Go talk to Blacksmith Altran and then if you don't have Heal yet, go level up until you get Heal. You should try searching for a Fighter of the same level to do the quest with you to make it easier. One tank and one Mystic at small levels like this isn't very good for expe-

rience or SP, but the quest is the important thing now. You should heal the Fighter until he gets the quest parts from the Orcs in the dungeon (Tunath Orc Archers die easier than Warriors but hit harder) and then attack them yourself (with the help of the Fighter; just make sure you get the last hit) to get your pieces of the Sword of Solidarity. Once you have found the two parts, return to Altran, fetch the handle from Roien and go back to Altran who now gives you your first free Fighter weapon. If you have the time and inclination, see how much the store would pay you for it, then try a Private Sale at a bit higher. If you're impatient, sell it to the store itself.

You should be Level 10 by now, but if you're not, go level up to start your second free weapon quest. Go to the Magic School and talk to Grand Magister Gallint for the instructions to go kill a Giant Toad Spirit Mirror which can be found near the bridge where other toads are. Then go find the Orc Spirit Mirror located near the Obelisk and lastly, the Werewolf Spirit Mirror in the westernmost part of the island. There will likely be a lot of people there, so either be fast or see if you can't organize a line. Now that you have done what you were asked to, return to Grand Magister Gallint to receive the Wand of Adept, a fine Mystic weapon for you.

Now you might want to collect more money by killing something you can kill easily, many times in row, with as few rests as possible. You might want to consider partying with a tank of the same level until Level 15, when you can get a quest from Rylith. Keep farming with a tank of the same level until you reach Level 19, and then go do your class change quest in Gludin.

Kiting is the best way to go at low levels. Combining Wind Strike and Ice Bolt for soloing takes mana but is good for killing monsters. Healing is good for partying, since your tank doesn't have to sit and waste time that way. Shield and Might are good for both you and your tank — Might raises the physical attack of whomever you cast it on, and Shield raises physical defense the same way.

On TI the Orcs are always good for low-level experience. When the Orcs get too easy, upgrade to Werewolves. Later you can go into the dungeon and hunt Tunath Orcs, or you can go hunt Spiders on the north and west coasts.

On the Mainland there are various types of Bears, Lizardmen, Bats, Spiders and Wererats for you to choose from, but be careful — some of them are high levels!

Partying is the key for fast leveling at this time, and you all want to be of the same level. Killing monsters with little or no downtime gets you to Level 19-20 quickly. Money is also important, so try to choose the best "money monster" you can find.
