Why don't I see any discussion on this? Looking to get back into this game, and going to start my character over fresh. What kind of stats should I look into? Getting flashbacks of the lack of info with this game. I like the idea of mobility and high damage, but I don't want to set myself up for failure. Any advice or discussion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Elementalist - Race, Starting Stats, General Info?
- Thread starter SomeDudeWithQuestions
- Start date
Because it was just launched last friday. Then server was offline for 2 days so people are still figuring it out.
Give it a week or two and there will be a guide up.
If you want to be speedy then alvarin is the top choice of course.
However, since Ele is mostly aoe and you cant be mounted everyone is going human for the clade that halves friendly-fire damage. A big consideration when you use aoe spells in a big fight.
Also human mages can wear more armour which helps a lot with surviving mounteds and generally staying alive on foot. And they have more skill points so you can fit more melee or other magic or pets in you build.
Just something to think about.
It sounds like the actual magic school is very straight forward to level. Just farm the rock crystal pickables (or mine them, or buy them) and use them to buy the books/skills from the 3 Elemental Npcs.

I’m getting back into the game after a long break as well. Quite a lot has changed, so I’m still catching up. Just theory-crafting but you need to decide how glass-cannon/specialised you want to go, and that will determine how far from “fit” weight you are, either towards obese or more likely now due to stats rebalance, towards skeletal. That then determines your race choice. Race is the only thing you can’t change later.
If you want to be able to melee effectively, then stay within lean/fit/stout range at 30 years old. This maximises your points, and you need as many as you can get. I’d recommend either pure Tindremic or Sarduccan. You are mobile but running away isn’t your only option.
Human is still probably the right choice if you are dedicated to elementalism and go skinny or even lighter. In that case you could try mixing Sarduccan/Sidoian at 62 years old. Just remember Sidoians lose quite a few attribute points so you will be less flexible if you change your mind later. Khurite and Kallard will tank your int so are non-starters for a mage. You won’t be outrunning determined footies due to low stam with this build, so you’re going to need a backup plan for those times you aren’t with guildmates, and that probably means taming/domination, and all the pain of that. Sidoian mixes can also be converted to obese mounted mage if you want to use it for farming or just want to change the build completely later.
If you decide to go full meme skeletal , realise it’s not just HP you lose. Look at the low stam and carry weight. Those are going to be painful, just as painful as obese on foot can be. Depending on what the elementalism curves turn out to be, I’d say it’s unlikely to be worth it.
Cleric, Soldier, Versatile, Eruidite, Northerner, Southerner and Tactician are the must-haves in the gift tree.

because it depends on how you play the game. There is no one master build. Want to have a lot of hp and mana, but move really slowly on foot? Oghmir fat mage, want to be slightly worse but move faster on foot? Sheevra fat mage, or skinny mage and have no hp but move faster, or larp and play a human idgaf
Are you guys sure Tactician will work, right? You have tested it?

Because:
Tactician trait is not what you think : beware.
Oh wow I dodged a bullet. I was torn between an Oghmir or Human fat mage. The reason for this was only one reason and that was this very glade. Elementalism + Tactitian= priceless. Luckly for me I still went Oghmir. That was close. Tactical magical LASERS that make your spells only hurt...

This issue with earthquake was fixed a while back. Tactician has been confirmed to work with elementalism aoe spells.Are you guys sure Tactician will work, right? You have tested it?

I got everything the Toxia desk has but I'm confused the scroll aggregation scribes into the spell conflagration Right? But I can't access aggregation in the spell book or raise the skill elemental aggregation. I assume I need another spell to level it? And what's the use elemental arcana?
