I just hit level 140 on my f/p archmage, haven't played for like 6 years and the leveling was really easy.

Now, how can I improve my char? I only know about inner abilities, I don't know about link skills, hyper skills, etc. Is there any quest or something I can do to further improve (should I also get a bunch of 9% int items?) Also as a lv 140 do I have a way to make a lot of money?

Last question: how are f/p archmages and NLs? I'm mostly leveling this am to fund my nl, but my nl does like 5x less damage.. which is discouraging

Beast Tamer - Link Skill Boss dmg, crit rate

Get them to 120 and go to your first beginner skill book and look for the icon link skill. and choose what char you want the link skill to be given to.

hyper skills starts at lvl140 and are auto
All Hyper Skills’ master level is 1. Hyper Skills use separate Skill Points. You will be receiving them automatically every 10 levels starting from level 140. You will receive 6 S.P for Stat Boosts, 5 P.P for Passive Skill Boosts and 3 A.P for Active Skills.

To get better skills (hidden) do empress might quest in lightbulb questline and you need to get 20 lunar dews (optional and very rare drop)
Quote
Hunt for 20 Lunar Dew from Desert Rabbit (F) or Desert Rabbit (M). Please be aware that the drop rate for these items is extremely low.


Nightlord has less dmg cuz your gear sucks, needs more dmg

Whats your dmg output on ur mage?
MPE for 6-9% int/luk gear for dirt cheap to free
Pick up purple senior equips (lvl60 but has % gear so same shit less defense)
theyre class specific once you pick them up. So if you need the gear make sure you pick it up on right classes

/e woops just read you're 140 no more mpe for you.
Then uhhhhh get alchemy and buy mad amount of sneakers in henesy shop or snowshoes from el nath and go to adrentmill and combine the shoes to turn them into potential and hope for 6-9% stats (costs a bit but if you find some, they can sell too in fm)
other ways is just buy mesos via jsp and buy gears?

boss I know a lvl140 can beat is zakum normal, easy, hilia normal, and i think thats it. Unless you know stronger ppl
