Getting Started as a Wizard
Welcome to the realm of magic--where one delves into the arcane arts of controlling the web of
forces that exist around us. Now with all the powerful destructive magics at our disposal, it is no
wonder why wizards have grown to be the most popular, and deemed by some, the most
powerful class in Vagabond's Quest.
You have decided to join the extremely competitive ranks of the wizards. At this point, you will
want to decide how you wish to play your wizard. There are two popular styles and each has its
strengths and weaknesses.
Style 1:
The first style is to maintain your equipment buying the best armor and shield and weapons (and spells)
that you can. This generally is slower for acquiring equipment, but it will allow you to maintain a
better win/loss record. So if you are wanting to keep a good record this might be the choice for
you.
Style 2:
The second style consists of jumping straight into the fray and fighting opponents. This style
definitely will give you many more losses than the first style, but it will speed up matches if your spells
fail so that you may quickly get another one and progress a level faster. This method also
makes it easier to save your money for better spells at an earlier time. So, if you don't care
about wins and losses you might consider this route.
Regardless of what style you choose, it is a good idea to try to stick to fighting other wizards and
possibly priests around your size. Wizards are unfortunately weaker at the begginning and require
some extra thought in order to win. Try to stay away from battling against fighters, thieves and
tracers until you have a few more spell points and some stronger spells.
Levelling your wizard is a random situation. The computer will randomly choose to either give you
hit point and one spell point for the level or two spell points for the level when you have reached the
required experience points. However, it is a little more likely to get two spell points(sp) rather than
1hp and 1sp. This is so that wizards don't level the same as a priest.
From here you should have a pretty good idea of what you need to do to succeed. One final
thing to mention is the Dungeon of Despai. This is an area you might want to consider to help you
out and give you a little boost at the beginning. Good luck and may the power within you bring
you glory.
