Cha mages aren't as easy as int mages to level =/

Lev           %

I am still new to playing charisma mage. Really new. I'm still learning how to level efficiently. I tried FV with St Bernards, but it was basically a waste of time. I didn't really enjoy the lizards in the desert either. So I figured I'd try it all by myself (even though.. "I don't want to be.. all.. by.. my.. self.."). I went to TI, and tried ebolting my way to next level. Except I have no wis or int, so it was quite crappy. Right. So I just accepted the fact that my mage is crap at fighting, got a hbow and silver arrows and red pots out, and went to grind. Worked quite well actually, considering the low risk of death. But I don't know how to really level this sucker once these critters stop giving me decent exp, and any advice would be welcome.

Level 12 mage
The talking island peninsula provided decent exp

Go to Oren Waste Land. at lvl 10+

Use hunter bow + Silver arrows
Shoot down ghouls and Wizards at first since ur low level and keep your distance and if you do it properly.. wizards will die before they can even shoot u with thier spell, same wit ghouls and thier annoying para.. Once you get a few levels and are able to hit generals.. go for them and go for elmore solders last once you have decent ac since thier pretty fast.

make sure you are always in morph (either the skele archer or orc scout when ur 15+)

I did this with my mage with a +0 hunter bow till like lvl 25ish, then I suited up with a +7som/+6sls and went for dvc2f for exp until lvl 45-48ish and then at that point i hit 5x toi (I was con/wis base)

**Edit After scrolling down to your other posts i saw what stats you have for a cha mage.. and I must say that is gona be a very hard character to lvl later on.. low wis = low mr and no good regen and no good mp... low int = not strong dmge / curse spells and if you wanted to power lvl at toi 5x you wont be able to cause of seriously bad int =(

But its your choice how you want to build your character x.x but a really bad choice for going 52+ with in my opinion cause it will be seriously hard to lvl


Thank you for your advice. I

Thank you for your advice. I don't know if I'll ever reach level 52, the idea was to have a cha mage for moneymaking mainly. I know Oreo reached lvl 52 with same starting stats, so in theory it is possible. However, I doubt I'll be able to replicate his achievements. I will take things as they come, I guess the immediate goal is to get some levels. Lag is rather unpleasant at the moment, which makes hunting more difficult, but I shall presevere. Again, thank you for the constructive feedback.

Edit: I tried OWL, but it was quite packed at the moment. I will try it again later.


I think.. using ur con elf

I think.. using ur con elf wit 3 high lvl pets would probably work better then a cha mage cause u can always retrieve from pets. that way u can concentrate on lvln 1 char.. and when u wana make money.. take out 3 pets + ur bow dmge = ownage o.o

which will help u get ur elf to 52 faster


Ok. Here is what I have been

Ok. Here is what I have been doing while not on FI!

CageMage + mage of course = int18 cha12 wis12, rest in con.

Also Teno & MasterMerlin = int18 con18 wis16

Level in SI on dummies until level 5 (if you straight out hunt to get to level-up then go to level 6). At this level you should have enough IT pots to move over to TI and kill Habgoblin and gnolls (use ice dagger). If habgoblins it will only take a hand full to get level 7. Now use the IT town tele scrolls and gather pots. you can be a little heavy if you doing the TI thing. Hunt TI until level 10 using IT town scrolls to get more pots if needed. At level 10 go to Oren and start hunting OWL for Generals(about 7 shots), tigers(about 8 shots), and wizzards(about 6 shots) with Fire arrow! You will level fast. Now you ate learning level 3 magic because you are level 12. WOOT WOO. (You should have 100mp by now and some level 1 scroll from OWL. Create Ice Dagger with them.) Ok, once you learned level 3 spells - go to Werldern and get ready to level even faster! Go to FV Beach and ONLY hunt fire eggs with ICE DAGGER (yes one groups all mp, but SI healer will regen for you - you should have some btels during your level 12 adventure!). you will be level 13 in 3 groups. Continue hunting here. Let me know when you get up to 25 and I can feed you some more information!


Too slow, he already quit

Too slow, he already quit his cha mage :P

Actually, in an attempt to get that int book, my cha mage is lvl 24 >.< Skeletons just don't have skulls apparantly. Shelved it for now.

Started a con/wis (with rest in int) mage yesterday, got to lvl 14 in first day doing something similar (except I hunted HV canyon till 10, then TI peninsula till 12, then FV with frozen cloud).
