| |
| − | Generally, the best two Bolts to the max are [[Fire Bolt]] and [[Lightning Bolt]]. The former is pretty much a given and Lightening Bolt is on the opposite side of the element table. Having only Firebolt and Coldbolt on the other hand is weak against [[Water]], as neither is effective against it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Leveling skills generally include [[Thunderstorm]], [[Fireball]], and [[Heaven's Drive]] for AoE. All three Bolt skills are not bad for single-target damage. It is recommended to skip PvP-oriented skills as a Sage, such as [[Stone Curse]] and [[Magnetic Earth]], and only acquire these after rebirth for use at a higher level as a [[Sorcerer]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Although a single target battle build can be enjoyable, if partied with a [[Priest]] or if using HP [[Healing Items]], a pure PvM caster build yields much faster exp rates (AoE leveling is faster than killing single targets). Their ''endows can be indispensable'' for other classes, hence many Sages are built for slaving purposes only.

| |
| − | Sages start off with decent Magic AoEs with [[Thunderstorm]] and [[Fireball]], and can pick off single targets with bolt spells. Unfortunately towards later levels (after about 85) it may not be possible to one shot monsters anymore with the bolt skills, and Thunderstorm and Fireball may not be reliable or quick enough to use. That is why players should prepare their builds with a decent amount of VIT for survivability to tank the monsters while recasting during solo leveling, or also survivability in party situations. Later levels will be spent either aiding with additional damage and Endow buffs in parties, or finding mobs weak to the Earth element to AoE with Heavens Drive. The rebirthed Sage, the [[Scholar]] gains access to very useful SP giving / recovering support skills with [[Soul Exhale]] and [[Indulge]], and becomes an extremely useful support class.

| |
| − | * LUK: 10-30 (if using dagger of counter, little to no LUK will be needed other then for [[MATK]] and [[ATK]] damage boost)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | CRIT build is the better of the two non-soul linked builds because it offers higher damage hits, and requires little to no DEX to land hits. This means STAT points can be put into other stats such as [[VIT]] or more [[STR]]. Additionally, LUK not only adds CRIT, but also adds MATK, which helps with Hindsight. This build WILL require CRIT gear due to the lack of [[DEX]]. Dagger of Counter or Soldier Skeleton Cards in an Encyclopedia are the best options.

| |
| − | [[Free Cast]] and [[Hindsight]] allows this build to melee with books while raining bolts from above on their foes. Despite being a melee build, their main offensive power does not come from having [[STR]], but rather from the high [[ASPD]] to trigger the moderate damage bolts. Some even prefer to drop their [[STR]] to a marginal amount, and wield a Bazerald dagger for the added [[MATK]] bonus. Coupled with the [[Sage Spirit]] buff of [[Soul Linker]]s, leveling them in Ice Dungeon with [[Lightning Bolt]] is very effective. [[Hindsight]] Sages should not use any shield because using them will lower their [[ASPD]] by a significant amount.

| |
| − | '''It is not recommended to play this build without [[FLEE]] gear because [[Mage]]s do not get any extra FLEE bonuses the way [[Thief]] classes do with [[Improve Dodge]]. Mages also tend to have lower HP'''. A Whisper Card and an Alicel Card will help FLEE a lot if no soul linker is available to Kaahi the Sage. With auto-cast and CRIT or attack power boosting gear, players can make a non-soul linked version of this build work, however it is very pricey to do. The non-soul linked version requires points into LUK, DEX or STR to make up for the poor bolt damage to ensure that players hit their target. Relying solely on bolt casts will lead to many deaths.

| − | The early days of the introduction to the Sage class, it was the glory days of the [[Hocus Pocus]] Sages. However, the [[Power Cord]] and [[Boss]] nerf meant the end of the era. This build is largely for fun, but those primarily get [[INT]] to level.

Overview
Sages are a PvP-oriented class with the role of caster/anti-Mage. They do not have the offensive abilities of a Wizard, but are a slightly buffed version of Mage with their Free Casting. Sages shine in their defensive abilities, with many builds centered around Magnetic Earth. Dispell is also a popular and sought-after spell which is useful for removing buffs from the enemy. Many of their skills can only realistically be used in PvP, making PvM quite difficult, particularly for VIT/DEX builds that have difficulty solo levelling. Battle sages are a 'for fun' build which can become a powerful leveling build only if matched with a Soul Linker (see Sage Spirit for more info).
Job Change Guide
See Sage Job Change Guide for detailed information.
Changing into a Sage from a Mage requires the player to complete a number of tasks:
- Item Collection
- Written Test
- Battle Test
- Thesis Composition
After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into a Sage. This takes place in Juno.
