PVM GUIDE FOR WIZARDS
Build and Basic Equipment
Wizards are powerful offensive magic users that nuke the hell out of their enemies. They rely on dangerous magic strikes as well as devastating Area of Effect spells to do damage to the monsters.
For classic servers, wizards are one of the most sought for characters when doing PVM, needed for their powerful AOE spells like Storm Gust, Lord of Vermilion or Meteor Storm.
PvM
- STR: 1
- AGI: 1
- VIT: 1-15
- INT: 120 (total) or 99 base
- DEX: 99
- LUK: 9
For pure NUKERS just go 99 dex 99 int. Fast Cast, Maximum Damage
These Wizards can level solo or, as they more commonly are, preferably accompanied by a Priest or an entire party. Generally, the Priest will mob up monsters, Heal themselves and use Suffragium on you, reducing the cast time of a single AoE skill - such as Storm Gust or Meteor Storm. If you're leveling solo, you'll need to learn how to use Fire wall or safety wall.
Equipment for classic servers are pretty basic
Top Headgears:
INT Gear:
- Mage Hat (+2 INT, +150 SP)
- Crown/Tiara (+2 INT)
- Erudite Crown/Tiara (+3 INT)
- Erudite card slotted headgear (+2 INT)
DEX Gear:
- Apple of Archer (+3 DEX)
Mid Headgears:
- Erudite Sunglasses (+2 INT) if available in your server*
- Peerless Sunglasses (grants immunity to silence) if available in your server*
Lower Headgears: you could choose any, it doesnt really matter in classic servers
- Pipe/Cigarette (-3% damage from Insect monsters)
- Romantic Flower/Romantic Leaf (-3% damage from Plant monsters)
- Flu Mask (+10% silence resistance)
- Gangster Mask (+15% silence resistance)
- Well-Chewed Pencil (+2 DEX) if available in your server*
Right Hand:
Whatever is chosen to wield in the right hand, it should always be a rod type weapon, as they all provide +15% MATK.
- INT Rods: (If INT is greater than DEX)
- Double Dexterous Arc Wand (two Drops cards): +3 INT, +2 DEX
- Dextrous Survivors Rod (Drops card, INT version): +3 INT, +1 DEX, +400 HP if available*
- Evil Bone Wand, (+4 int)
DEX Rods: (If DEX is greater than INT)
- Triple Dexterous Staff (three Drops cards): +2 INT, +3 DEX
- Dexterous Survivor's Rod (Drops card, DEX version): +4 DEX, +400 HP if available*
- Quadruple Dexterous Rod (four Drops cards): +4 DEX
Survivors Rods are sought for Wizard weapons.The DEX version is basically a Quadruple Dexterous Rod with an extra 400 HP, it would really help if you get more HP.
The more DEX is usually better, but sometimes getting more INT to attain the next MATK bonus (occuring every 5 and 7 points of INT) is more desirable. The Staff [3] and Arc Wand [2] provide the most, although mixed, stat points for classic servers
Left Hand:
- Guard[1] (+3 DEF)
The player should have a variety of shields with "racial reduction cards" - cards which resist respect races by 30%. For example, if they were to level in High Orcs or enter a PvP area, they should equip a Cranial shield (Thara Frog card) to reduce damage received from Demi-Humans (i.e. High Orcs or other players) by 30%.
Armor:
Equippable Armor:
- Coat/Slotted Coat: +5 DEF
- Mage Coat: +5 DEF, +5 MDEF, +1 INT, +1 SP
- Slotted Mink Coat: +6 DEF, very heavy
- Robe of Cast: +5 DEF, Cast Delay -3%
- Glittering Jacket[1]: +7 DEF,+5 MDEF, Adds a 3% chance of causing Blind status to enemies with each attack
The cards to be used depend on the situation, you could use Marc Card, Evil Druid +1 int if you dont want to be frozen. You could get a peco card or pupa card if your poor and have no HP.
Garment:
- Muffler with Element Resistance Cards
- Neutral: Raydric
- Water: Marse Card
- Wind: Dustiness Card
- Fire: Jack Card
- Earth: Hode Card
When going PVM make sure you only bring what is needed, with the wizard's poor carrying capacity, make sure you have a lot of space for HP and SP pots.
Shoes:
- Soul-Enchanted Shoes (sohee card)
- Shoes of Witch (Eggyra card)
- +9/10 Superior Shoes (Antique Firelock card) if available in the server*

- Teleportation Clip (Creamy Card) (Not on iRO Valkyrie server)
- Hiding Clip (Smokie Card)
- Clever Clip (Wormtail Card)
- Clip Under a Cast (Phen Card)
- Four Leaf Clover Rosary (Alligator Card)
- Nimble Glove (Zerom Card, +4 DEX)
- Earring [0] (+2 INT)
Equipment would really depend on your financial situation lol,... Go for the light and efficient gears, and just Storm Gust and Quagmire. lol
Wizard for PvM usually plays many roles. They could just be there just to Ice wall, just to safety wall,or just nuke and Storm Gust to control mobs. Regardless of the Boss or monster, remember to keep a safe distance away from it.
