About Sages

Sages are a PvP-oriented class with the role of caster/anti-Mage. They do not have the offensive abilities of a Wizard, but are a slightly buffed version of Mage with their Free Casting. Sages shine in their defensive abilities, with many builds centered around Magnetic Earth. Dispell is also a popular and sought-after spell which is useful for removing buffs from the enemy. Many of their skills can only realistically be used in PvP, making PvM quite difficult, particularly for VIT/DEX builds that have difficulty solo leveling.

Jobchange Guide

See Sage Job Change Guide for detailed information.

Changing into an Sage from a Mage requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Register at the Academy
• Take a quiz
• Complete a combat exam
• Complete either Biology Class, Physics Class, or History Class
• Speak to Headmaster to graduate

After completing these tests, the player will be transformed into an Sage. This questline starts at the Sage Guild in the Juno and primarily takes place there.
