AP build

INT primary; keep base LUK at level minus 10 (4 INT / 1 LUK per level from Lv30).

  1. Lv1-30: as Magician.
  2. Lv31-70: 4 INT / 1 LUK per level (182/30 at Lv40, 222/40 at Lv50, 262/50 at Lv60, 302/60 at Lv70).
  3. Lv70-100 (our estimate): continue LUK = level - 10, or less with LUK gear.
  4. Gear: Green Goldwind Shoes (+5 LUK) at Lv50 cover LUK through Angel Wings.
  5. Pitfall: LUK above level-10 starves INT; skip Arc Staff (40 LUK too early on this plan).
