Sorcerer class guide for Lineage 2 Freya: how to get the class, which skills to take, what to wear and where to level.

Let's start by saying that our Human mage is one of the elemental mages, whose element is fire.

Main

Of the four elements, Sorcerers prefer Fire — it's with its help that they destroy their enemies. Focusing on offense, Sorcerers don't spare magical energy, dissolving completely in the flames of battle, so they often need someone who can distract enemies' attention. There are also practically no inconvenient mobs for a Sorcerer; he can deal even with those who outlevel him. In PvP the Sorcerer is also one of the strong classes, perhaps inferior only to Necros or SHs, but again it all depends on your skill... He's also a useful character in parties and at sieges.

• Class pros:
  • fast spell reuse and powerful damage
  • usefulness in parties, the clan, etc.
  • fast leveling
  • a powerful class in PvP and PK
  • frequent and strong critical attacks
• Cons:
  • runs slowly
  • Little defense due to wearing robes

Base stats

Tattoo

• the first two tattoos are:
  • +4 INT / -4 MEN (to increase magic damage)
  • +4 WIT / -4 MEN (to increase casting speed)
• the third tattoo can be:
  • +4 CON / -4 STR (we don't need STR, but this lets us add a bit of extra HP)
  • +4 DEX / -4 STR (for those who want to run fast)
  • +1 WIT / -1 MEN (to increase casting speed even more)

The best option both for the Olympiad and for leveling:

• +4 INT / -4 MEN
• +4 WIT / -4 MEN
• +4 CON / -4 STR (if you like, you can go +DEX; it'll be fine for leveling, but no good for the Olympiad)

Skills overview

Sorcerer Archmage

Character equipment

We wear the Devotion set, mobs don't reach us, and casting speed from D grade doesn't give anything.

or

• • • Ideal with epic jewelry

• • [[[File:Armor t99 u i00.png]] - Elegia set (WIT +2, MEN -2, INT +1; when equipped, M. Atk. +10%, Casting Spd. +15%, MP +5 recovery bonus %, stun resistance +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth defense +5). Lets you wear a cloak.

Leveling theory

Everyone chooses for themselves how and where it's most convenient to level. In general I recommend leveling in a party, but in this guide we'll cover solo leveling.

Naturally, a premium account is desirable for faster leveling (x2), and you can also buy runes in the item mall, which raises leveling speed even more. As usual, our faithful companion is Baby Kookaburra

If you have a premium account, the first place to go once a day is "Solo Kamaloka". Besides experience, there you can get enchant points and various rewards such as spiritshots (soulshots), elixirs and healing potions.

Hunting grounds

• From 20 to 40
  • - the quest from Livina (in the Orc Village) and Moira (Orc Guild in Schuttgart) - you reach level 21.
  • - the quest from Lewis in Gludin - you reach level 26-27.
  • - the quest from Alva in Gludin - you reach level 29-30 (depends on vitality).
  • - solo Kamaloka + Kamaloka + Labyrinth - you reach level 35.
  • - The quest chain in the temple: Temple Missionary, Temple Executor, Temple Champion - 1, Temple Champion - 2 - you reach level 37.
  • - Do the first 2 marks (Trial of Wisdom, Trial of Trust) - you reach level 38,5.
  • - Quests in Heine (Twilight Fox 1-3) - you reach level 39,5.
  • - Trial of Magic - you reach level 40,3, take the class and happily gear up in C grade. You'll have about 2kk pure adena in your pocket, not counting what you spent on D weapons, gear, elixirs and BSSD.
• From 40 to 52
  • Level near the Ivory Tower crater or near Aden, not far from the cemetery.
  • At level 46, level in the Bandit Stronghold forest.
• From 52 to 61
  • The Labyrinth or the Forgotten Plains; you can also go to the Battleground.
• From 61 to 76
  • Valley of Saints.

Level at the port spot up to 63, and also take the quest "Heart in Search of Power"

• • Next, go to the middle spots of the Valley of Saints, then the far ones... Basically, stay there until level 72. You can also go to the Blazing Swamp and do the reagents quest.
  • Then you can go to the Hot Springs, the Forest of the Dead, or the Goddard area.
• From 76 to 80
  • First, complete the 3 class quest. By this level you should really have a static party for leveling, but if you don't, then:
  • Level in Varka, Ketra, the Forest of the Dead, or go to Crystal Island to farm Fire Stones for our weapon, and also in the solo locations for mages. I don't cover leveling without a party beyond this point — find a static party.

Olympiad and PvP

At the Olympiad it's best to have an epic + TW jewelry + the Elegia set. Take with you: talismans (invulnerability, resistance etc.),

• - Staff of Evil Spirits - Blessed Body. Gives a 20% chance to cast Blessed Body when using a beneficial skill on the target. Effect 5.
• - Hell Knife - Mental Shield. Gives a 50% chance to cast Mental Shield when using a beneficial skill on the target. Effect 4.

• - Mithril Belt with a Perfect Magic Ornament - defense during PVP

• What to do at the Olympiad?

Submit your application and wait until the countdown to the Olympiad arena transfer starts. The seconds tick: 120, 60, 30 - insert the talismans we need into the Bracelet. Now you're at the NPC in the room before the arena, and you have a few seconds to do some things.
