Intr0duction:

Illusionist is one of the 2 1st job transfer of a Summoner. illusionist uses polymorph abilities to increase their Atk Power and Def but disable the use of skills, however Buff skills such Resistance Enhanced can be used before polymorphing.

Reasons of why choose an illusionist:
1. they are easy to use due to the fact that most of the time your using normal attacks
2. are cheaper to maintain because of low potion usage, allowing you also to save money.
3. moderate defense (polymorph form increases def)
4. easy to level (polymorph increases def and atk, allowing you to kill higher level monsters)

To begin with, as a summoner you are allowed to choose to use two kinds of equipment, a chain (which offer high skill damage increase, a little below average attack speed and damage) or a scythe (which offer highattack damage, low increase in skill damage and slow attack speed, iningame its very slow). it is personal preference if what weapon you chose but since we are damage dealers, a scythe is the most preferred one.

To BEGIN IT

   in here you can do all the quest given by the NPC which starts with the novice receptionist, this way you can earn experience and money without even fighting. this will give you a bunch of experience items and money.this is vital if it is your first time.

   after the novice receptionist you are asked to go to the summoner mentorto do a skillbool quest which gives you summon elf skill book.

   after that youre gonna start with your journey. in the novice villageyou can level from 1-15 by doin all the quest, fighting monster andelites.

    note:elites inhere are easy to kill so try as many as you can so you can obtain low level rings and amulets (even though they have crappy stats its better than nothing at the moment)

when you hit level15, you are prompted to do a job change quest. go back to summoner mentor to start the 3 phases of the training quest.

    These 3 phases involves killing monster to mining and lumbering or gathering either of these 3. once youve done this the summoner mentor, she will give you a magic scroll. this scroll has cooridnates (x,y) which you nid to find using the map (press tab key to show the map) and move around the cursor using your mouse. after finding the 3 sets of coordinates,youll encounter a boar guard, kill it and head back to summoner mentor and choose to become an illusionist.

   Then head now to Sky City and buy your polymorph SB there. right click on it and voila you now have your first morphing skill. now youll train in Sky City.The surrounding area of sky city is an easy place to train sojust hit any monster from it, since your in morph form it will be easy.Loot everything and sell those that you dont need such as archer,warrior ormage items. keep your arsenal with at least 3 scrolls. its cheaper that way.

   do the quest offered in sky city to have extra experience and items such as pandora’s box. this quests give good experience and money. when you hit level 20, you are prompted to do you Growing WEapon quest. head back to Magocean Village and talk to Sharison, he is near the Armor Trader. Once youve accepted the quested you are prompted to kill 10 or 15 armour turtle man and 10 or 15 vampire siren which is found in Armed COast west side of Sky City and 5 Devildom Mantis just East of Armed Coast.

    after that head back to MAgocean Village then talk to Novice Receptionist, and claim your sealed weapon soul. Right Click on it and hope you get a SOul of Growing Weapon(Physical)for added physical damage. to make your weapon, just head to blacksmith and put your GW soul on the soul and a weapon either a scythe or a whip at the tip. and press compose and ok. voila you now have your GW. equip it and go back to leveling. for more info on GW view you may look at these Growing Weapon by Kane and Soul of Growing weapon by archonic04
