Well, I thought about it for a while, and here's the points of consideration:

1. I spent just under 5 hours grinding a char out to level 15 on hardcore.
2. Once I hit 15 and received the payout for winning the competition, I no longer became restricted to gear which I find, and can play the char in whatever manner I choose.
2. I won 1510fg from the contest, 310 or so of which I immediately gave away, 1200 of which I kept.
3. At a 1200fg budget, as long as I'm patient, I can MQ on hardcore without too much issue.
4. It's not even required I MQ on hardcore. Should I be able to put together a decent enough set of gear, I can sit in the 70's and MF.

Taking all this into consideration, I've decided to continue levelling with 15First.

Currently up to level 20.

Gonna miss you on SC dom

I'm not leaving softcore by any means.

Occasionally I may take breaks from it, but I can't go very long without getting some kills on the ol' caster.

tnx :}

welcome to the guild dinko!

now get slashing you!

plz...i im new...mercy for me

omg ..death again:}

must buy good weapon i tnink :}

Ouch, i just looked at yoru gear.

What you need to do is find new armor/weapon with Intelligence adds on them. A nice secondary stat to look for on a magician would be max life. Your charm could use a bit of an update to lvl 50, around same EE as that charm would work and kill alot faster.

As a magician you shouldnt need any +magic gear too much, as you're not lacking it as much as other caster classes.

yeah..i im looking for good charm+ee,,but can't found,,,i see any bit price is to much for little stats ... btw--found good 15lv charm+ee,,

you can use a 50-60 ee lvl 50/55 charm with no problems and kill faster than you are now. The intelligence gear is a major priority for you as intelligence maxes out your damage potential.

hmm...well must search armor +staff with nice intelligence?...

i see armor +33intell-for 350fg..real price?
