So, I think I get the rough idea about the skills. I'm on the way maxing all magic (only cleric skills left, with a few last of mage like fusion bolt).
Currently looking at my friend's alchemist and wondering why my damage isn't too far from him, as people says that alchemy's damage should have been inferior to magic while excel in utility, and then I realized that his equipments are pretty much done (cressida set, enchant, etc). While I'm currently only relying on stat and weapon alone.
So, I want to know what equipments and reforge should I go after. I think I'll take advantage of heavy armor, so I won't be using magic cloth. Besides, the only cloth in my mind worth using is hebona, but the set is rare and expensive, CMIIW, though. I don't think I need mana reduction; not worth exchange for the defense heavy armor gives.
But I still haven't decide on shoes/hat/glove/acc. Is rosemary glove worth it, the rarity and price? With my connection, I'm only able to launch 3 hit of full-charge Hailstorm.
If not, maybe I'll just use RK glove (or maybe another recommendation?)
The weapon I'm using are hermit staff and CC+4 fire wand (currently training spirit to replace it, but still far from it). And lately Savage Ice Wand for fusion bolt and blaze, accompanied with guard cylinder.
The Hermit one is pre-reforged, although I haven't reforged it with anything. I don't know what I should after. The rest is normal.
And all of them, both weapon and equipments, don't have any enchant/reforge.
Can I get some advice and recommendation here?:beg:
I'll be more than happy if someone even make a guide for it, like tropa's alch guide, since all guide seems so old :bath:

Notable Equipment Sets: Rosemary Gloves, Hebona, Mana Reduction
I would recommend aiming for rosemary gloves as well as mana reduction. If you can't afford rosemary gloves then you can avoid them, but your Ice Magic will suffer greatly. I really don't see a reason why you can't get mana reduc though, use a bunch of Mana Witch enchants if you have to. As for Hebona set, I do not recommend it as it is expensive, takes up all your equipment slots, and provides a very very poor bonus to bolt damage; roughly 3% damage to the bolts it effects in the final damage output.
Notable Reforges (Mostly max of 20):
Headgear - Ice/Fire/Lightning/Bolt Mastery: Ice is great when paired with rosemary gloves, and bolt is good if you want some firebolt damage
Clothing - Blaze Radius / Hailstorm Range: These reforges aren't particularly amazing, but will have uses at points for sure.
Shoes - Vivace Magic Casting Speed (Max of 3) / Intelligence: There really isn't anything amazing to go on shoes, I recommend skipping them.
Accessories - Magic Attack (Max of 3): Adds 4 MATK per level, great but really expensive so you won't want to do this until you have lots of free gold.
Hermit Staff - Magic Attack/Hailstorm Max/Ice Spear Max: Magic Attack is the best one for all spells, but hail and ice spear max are much easier to get so you may want to hold onto them if you don't have a large amount of gold to re-reforge at the time. I recommend doing this reforge before any others.
Fire Wand (Ego/Savage) - Casting Speed/Firebolt Max: Casting speed is better, but firebolt max isn't so shabby either.
Savage Ice Wand - Blaze Explosion Damage/MATK: These are both great reforges.
As for enchants, pretty much nothing has significant impact. I recommend enchanting Engineer's as a prefix to all your weapons for cheaper repair. If you truly feel the need to get a magic enchanted set, I recommend looking up 'Critical Modifiers'/'Luck Modifiers' and 'Magic Attack Modifiers'/'Intelligence Modifiers' on Mabinogi World Wiki.

a high level cast speed reforge is a lot more important than everything else
u'd probably want it on a fire wand of some sort with chaincasting
