Hi all,
If you ever need the help of a seasoned mage (no, I don't mean that I am tastey so you Ogres and Trolls can stop drooling now), please feel free to send me an in game tell, or post here or on the TF message board, and I will try to help as best I can. I have played a mage as my main since 2000, Aeriun is my 2nd mage after a short break from EQ while I played StarWars. I have always been a few expansions behind, but with this new expansion, am I now up to speed and can start advancing. This mage area will be a good place to pass on tips, advice etc for us mages, so lets use it to its fullest. Start posting, asking questions and giving advice...I'll leave the advice for later since I am a guest.... /pet attack and nuke em till they die...if all else fails gate since we dont get root!

OK, Kiss wanted to give me 1k plat, so here goes.
1st - get the Prime Plate, Nastels Jewelry and the best weapons your pet can proc with from another friendly, higher level mage.
2nd - Get the best HP buff your pet can take from your friendly cleric.
3rd - Mages are best tuned to fight lt blue con mobs, except at early levels when you have the great gear mentioned above. With the HP and stats from the above gear/buffs you should be able to solo white/yellow/red up to prob about level 40. (not sure on this because this stuff didnt exist when i was that level).
4th - All mages should read eq1.castersrealm.com regularly for great info and updates
5th - Our epic is one of the hardest, but recently has gotten easier as people have finally found out how to spawn the winged demon horse from hell with a little more success.
6th - When in doubt of your pet living - GATE! we dont get root or snare that we can rely on (pet root dont count much) so running (especially from a mob that summons) is not a good idea.
7th - Learn all the tricks of chaining pets, agro kiting, root yo-yo and regen kiting. If you have questions about these, please ask.
8th - Learn the benefits of each pet at higher levels. Earth = warrior, Water = rouge, Air = pally? (stuns), and Fire = Wizard. And learn when to use each in what situation
9th - Get a pet focus item to increase your pet stats asap
Other than that, have a blast! Mages are great fun, we can solo reaonably well for many levels (most of my career is solo do to time issues) but groups are most fun. Dont want to take too much space here, so this is general info. Post questions and I will be happy to answer!
Summoners RULE!
