Devil Mage Leveling Guide

Mages have been described as glass cannons in many games and the myth of soma is no different for devil mages. Mages have extremely high Intelligence and Wisdom; Wizards are the only specialized class in the magical arts. Wizards are great for taking down multiple enemies, they are very weak when it comes down to close combat and must be protected against any enemy getting to close to them but don’t be disheartened mages can deal immense damage from range.

'''Rough levelling guide '''

(note you should hunt whatever gives most % gain for your level so you can hunt anything!)

Hit brics in town till level 3 once level 3 go and learn first spell at Daeyoo 470,906 in Pandemonium Town (town in you start in)

Tillek (Pandemonium) start - 25int

Infernal Mantis (Pandemonium) 25int - 30int

Necronis (Pandemonium) 30int - 40int

Hellion (Pandemonium) 40int - 52 int

HWAN Cyclope or Darian Shaman (Infernal caves) or '''Evolved Beasts''' (Hwan) 52int - 65int (You can stay at Darian Shaman until 75int)

CONTI Cyclope or Elite Gargoyle Fighter (Devil Dung located at 58,54 Infernal Caves) 65int - 90int

Kharil Lizards (Infernal Caves) or Gargoyle Shaman or Elite Gargoyle Fighter (Devil Dung located at 58,54 Infernal Caves) 90int - 125int

Drazil Druids (Infernal Caves) 120-175int

'''Fallen Trolls (Infernal Caves top right of guild village) 165-200int '''

'''Feral Walker / Fallen trolls (can do instead of trolls) - '''Infernal Caves (220, 459)/ Pandemonium

180-220 int 

'''Warmess Wizard – Pandemonium top left '''(percentage gain / drops was changed for this so this may be a little off)

220-240 int

Note this is a rough lvling guide and it is worth using ctrl J and doing quests appropriate for your level. Also visit https://myth-of-soma.com/Armory/ login (top left corner) and scroll down in the armoury section and you will see monster suggestions for your level based on your stats.

'''Alternative Leveling guide''' for those with money

Cap Int (at 115) and aoe Enslaved Beasts (with a tank) in the devil dungeon. This works for other monsters that are easy to group such as Elite Guardian fighters (cap int at 125) and Drazil druids but is most effective at enslaved beasts for fast lvling.

'''IMPORTANT Advice: '''when repairing items if your items durability falls below 100 always use a poison plant to repair this will prevent items from breaking. If it an items durability goes under 10% of its total dura you risk it breaking. At that point you need a poison plant that make it 100% success.

'''How stats work for your Mage'''

On devil you will gain a certain amount of points a level which is 6 and every 10th level (e.g. 10,20,30,40 etc) you will gain 10 points that you can spend freely as you like.

What each stat does on Devil Soma

Intelligence: Increases magic attack

Wisdom: Increases magic defence

Constitution: Defence / requirement to wear some types of armour

Dexterity: evasion against melee attacks (reduces cast interruption)

Strength: Increase physical attack (not needed as a mage)

'''Stat priority for mage:'''

1.Intellence

2.Wisdom

3.Constitution

4.Dexerity (only spend leftover points here)

You do not need strength as a mage

'''Fixing Mistakes with Stats'''

If you make a mistake with your stats do not stress at Level 10 you get a quest from the head of town providing you with a respect scroll allowing you to reset your points and re-allocate them as you wish.

Further respect scrolls can be obtained from daily marks which are achieved by completing daily quests each day. Six daily marks are required to purchase a respect scroll from Jeong (418, 884). I believe you may only complete 2 daily quests a day.

Quests I recommend doing: 

'''use ctrl j to see quests you have and available quests to you'''

Level 31 – Fierce Followers: Reward 10 large rested potions

Level 30 – Hwan Sheet Does Plenty: Reward 10 large rested potions (Daeyoo, 470,906)

Level 40 – United: Reward 10 large rested potions (Hasra, 375, 958)

Level 40 – Birthday bonanza – gems Reward 5 large rested potions (Hasra, 375, 958)

How to get Weakening (requires 110 staff skill or 90 intelligence)

Talk to Sage (requires 93 int to get quest) in devil dungeon to get a quest to obtain weakening (Devil Dungeon is located in Infernal Caves at ..)

Kill Shironim (located first level of devil dung bottom left corner). It is important to note you must get the killing blow. You may require help killing Shironim as he does lots of damage.

Map of devil dung to get to Shironim: https://imgur.com/a/NAJi6uU

You then require 10 magic pouches

Magic pouches can be obtained from:

Asking other players

Birthday presence (from event)

Easter eggs (from event)

Some quests (Evolving the bric from Daeyoo (470,906) rewards 1 magic pouch)

Trading 10 unknown stone at the warehouse (Zarith) for 1 magic pouch (This is the easiest way to obtain magic pouches).

For this to work you must first locate the chest in Hwan after accepting the weakening quest. This chest is located at 48, 644 (marked by purple on map)

'''Staff Auras'''

Talk to Sagonari (366, 872) Pandemonium town select learn technique and he will teleport you to his brother where you can learn the first 3 staff auras.

15 staff skill – Rapid mana recovery

10 Devil stone, 1 devil spirit, 1000 Barr

40 staff skill – Mages Contrivance

10 Devil stone, 10 devil spirit, 5 spirit stone, 2000 Barr

90 staff skill – MP Saver

10 Green Stones, 20 Demon Skulls, 5 Spirit Stones, 5000 Barr

Master of Staff Located: Infernal Cave at 191,565

(see https://myth-of-soma.com/Forum/Thread.asp?ID=32272&title=MASTERS+Of+DSOMA&Page=1 for map)

Requires 2 SACRED AURA SPIRIT before he will show you what you need to learn new staff techniques. He is believed to teach 4th and 5th staff auras. Note that to my knowledge only 4th staff aura and not a 5th staff aura has been implemented into the game at this time.

One sacred aura spirit can be obtained upon completion of the level 30 quest Rise of Gorshak (repeatable quest). Quest giver is Chandler Peddie located at 414, 900 Pandemonium Town.

Or 38k Pos for 2 pouchs, (dont click the pouchs) need to take them to the normal aura npc and he will swop for Sacrad aura spirit
