Edit: tutorials are up-to-date for version 1.13.2.
Please feel free to comment under each part or after the last one.
Part -1: The ELR Cheatsheet
You are aiming for the following items for the default ELR Frostbeam build:
- ELR armor set: 6 pieces
- GMC weapons: 2 pieces - staff and tome
- Frostfire sash
- Vial of Wind Spirit
- Talisman of Storms (initially Talisman of Power will work better)
- Integralas mantle or (Azure) Carnival cape
- Slayer (weapon enchantment)
* Fire Lily & Talisman of Power (if you have the Glory, start with Fire Lily)
* For a Death from Above build use Sash of the Igniter
Stats depend on:
- what you use your gear for - xp farming, pushing high trials, farming gold, etc.
- whether you have Fire Lily or not (with Fire Lily you don't do critical hits)
- your skill level (start with more vitality and life on hit, reduce when you get more comfortable)
- whether you use Frostbeam or Death from Above
- if it's an ANB event or regular Season
- your budget...
The guide covers all of that, along with instructions on how to use that stuff : )
For starters, check the default firelily frostbeam xp build in part 4.
Intro
In Eternium set and unique gear is king!
Ultimately, mid and end game is all about being fast, dealing damage and clearing higher trials. Currently this means using Elemental Lord's Regalia (ELR) or Stormcaller Regalia (SCR) to be competitive in Season and ANB events, as they are the two highest-damage mage sets. It also means that at some point we commit to a certain build and work on perfecting the gear and skills for it.
*SCR received a buff in 1.5.73 and is showing great results so far. It is pretty much on par with ELR at high trials. It offers a ridiculously high damage against large groups, but low single-target damage.
For fun and for less competitive gameplay, Arcanist is also a great option.
The ELR guide
The guide was written to address some common requests that cover everything from farming experience and gold, through playing ANB events, to clearing the highest trials we can and climbing the leaderboards.
It is not meant to be read linearly - feel free to go straight to any section you currently need!
