Elementalist Guide

Elementalist Overview

Elementalist is a Moonelf magic class.

Elementalist is the Elf-side Mage-style class, but it should not be written as a simple copy of Human Mage. Elementalist has its own power direction: dimensional damage, elemental pressure, Mutation, healing, support tools, and strong AoE farming.

Elementalist is strong because she has:

• Fast leveling
• Strong AoE farming
• Good item farming
• Dimensional damage direction
• Elemental damage skills
• Mutation
• Healing and recovery tools
• Buffs and support value
• Strong PvE farming
• Useful PvP support
• Good party value

Elementalist is weak because:

• She can be focused in PvP
• She can die fast in full damage gear
• She needs cast/cooldown flow
• She needs good positioning
• She needs Hybrid or Support gear later
• She should not stand inside mobs too early
• She needs correct weapon and skill setup

Main Elementalist setups:

New players should level as Full Damage Elementalist.

Later, every serious Elementalist should build Support / Hybrid gear, because in PvP your job is not only damage. You need to survive, heal, support, and use Mutation correctly.

Use Full Damage for farming.
Use Support / Healing for party fights and PvP.
Use Hybrid when full damage dies too much.

First Steps as an Elementalist

Elementalist starts in Norine.

First, claim your level-up rewards from the Event NPC / reward NPC.

Equip your starter armor and starter weapon.

Open your inventory with B and activate:

• Lens Stone+
• Compound Potion
• Pet
• Life Potions
• Mana Potions

Your pet collects drops while you farm. Keep it active.

Use Ctrl + Left Double Click to lock important items.

Elementalist uses many skills, so Mana Potions matter.

Elementalist can level fast because her AoE and magic damage become strong early, but early gear is still weak. Do not pull a full room before your weapon, armor, and skills are ready.

Basic Elementalist Rules

Follow these from level 1.

Good Elementalist farming style:

1. Buff first.
2. Pull a controlled group.
3. Use control or slow if mobs reach you too fast.
4. Use ranged AoE first.
5. Use close AoE only when mobs are grouped.
6. Heal or recover if needed.
7. Move before mobs surround you.
8. Switch Hybrid gear if full damage dies.

Bad Elementalist farming style:

• Pulling a full cave room with weak armor.
• Standing inside mobs too early.
• Farming hard maps with no Hybrid switch.
• Ignoring Mutation.
• Ignoring healing and support tools.
• Building only damage and expecting to survive PvP.
• Forgetting pet, Lens Stone+, or Compound Potion.

Elementalist Weapon Choice

Elementalist uses magic-style weapons.

The Skill Builder includes Fine Staff and Fine Chakram, so players should match their weapon with the skill setup they actually use.

For most players, the safe guide direction is:

• Use the weapon that supports your main damage skills.
• Keep the correct weapon buff active.
• Do not use a weapon only because it looks better.
• If a skill does not work with your current weapon, test the other weapon type.
• Do not build around Chakram unless your live setup and skills support it.

Staff direction

Staff is the safer magic-class direction.

Use Staff if your setup is focused on:

• Dimensional damage
• Elemental damage
• AoE farming
• Cast speed
• Cooldown reduction
• Healing / support
• General caster gameplay

If you use Staff, keep Fine Staff active.

Chakram direction

Chakram is possible because Elementalist has Fine Chakram and Chakram Finesse, but it should not be pushed as the default beginner route unless the player knows the setup.

Use Chakram only if:

• Your build is made for it.
• Your skills work with it.
• Your yellows support it.
• You tested the rotation.
• You understand what you are giving up compared to Staff.

If a skill does not work with your current weapon, switch weapon and test again.

Elementalist Skill Sets

Elementalist should use separate saved skill sets.

Main sets:

Press F9 to open the Set Switch window.

Use Full Damage Set while farming.

Use Support / Healing Set when the party needs healing, protection, Mutation, and survival.

Use Hybrid Set when you still want to farm but mobs or players hit too hard.

Use Buff Set before fights, then switch to your fight gear.

Use Chakram Test Set only if you intentionally play Chakram.

Full Damage Elementalist

Full Damage Elementalist is the main leveling and farming build.

Use this build for:

• Early leveling
• Unmarked Tomb
• Miasma Cave
• Closed Mine
• Asylum farming
• Realm farming
• Shinewood farming
• Heaven’s Hell leveling if you survive
• Rifts
• Firmament farming
• Monster Hunt if you can control the pull
• Item farming

Full Damage Elementalist focuses on:

• Dimensional damage
• All Elemental Attacks
• All Elemental Damage
• Magic damage
• Damage
• Heroic Damage
• Skill Cast Time Reduction
• Skill Cooldown Reduction
• Skill rank
• All Stats
• Cast flow
• Enough HP to survive farming

Full Damage Elementalist farms fast, but she is fragile.

In PvP, do not stay in Full Damage gear if enemies are targeting you.

Full Damage Elementalist Skills

Use the official Skill Builder for exact points.

Main Full Damage skills:

Damage priority:

1. Main AoE damage skills
2. Fine Staff
3. Dimensional damage direction
4. Cast/cooldown flow
5. Mutation
6. Healing safety
7. Heroic damage/support skills later

Do not put every skill into your farming macro. Use the skills that keep pulls controlled and clear fast.

Full Damage Elementalist Farming Rotation

Use this farming flow:

1. Buff before pulling.
2. Pull a safe group.
3. Control the group if it reaches you too fast.
4. Use ranged AoE first.
5. Use stronger AoE when mobs are grouped.
6. Heal if needed.
7. Move before you get surrounded.

Simple rotation idea:

If mobs reach you too fast, control earlier.

If mobs still reach you, pull fewer mobs.

If you die even with smaller pulls, switch to Hybrid gear.

Support / Healing Elementalist

Support / Healing Elementalist is the main PvP and party build.

This build is not about top damage.

Elementalist becomes very valuable when she survives long enough to heal, support, use Mutation, and control dangerous targets.

Use Support / Healing Elementalist for:

• PvP
• Siege
• Party fights
• Boss fights
• Heaven’s Hell danger zones
• Firmament
• Monster Hunt when mobs hit hard
• Open-world farming with PvP risk

Support / Healing Elementalist focuses on:

• Max HP
• Skill Block
• Block
• Dodge / Evade
• Physical Resistance
• All Elemental Resistance
• Heroic Resistance
• Critical Hit Resistance
• Damage Taken Reduction
• HH Effect Duration Reduction
• Debuff Duration Reduction
• Stun Duration Reduction
• Slow Duration Reduction
• Buff Duration
• Healing value
• Skill rank
• Cast/cooldown flow

Support Elementalist should not stand in front.

You are useful because you keep yourself and others alive while controlling the fight.

Support / Healing Elementalist Skills

Important support and PvP skills:

Support priority:

1. Stay alive.
2. Keep important buffs active.
3. Use Mutation at the right time.
4. Heal or recover when needed.

3. Keep key buffs active.
4. Use Mutation at the right time.
5. Heal and support your party.
6. Use control to stop enemy pressure.
7. Switch damage gear only when safe.
8. Return to Support gear when focused.

Do not waste Mutation.

Do not chase deep.

Do not stand where melee classes can reach you for free.

Hybrid Elementalist

Hybrid Elementalist is the safe farming setup.

Use Hybrid when Full Damage kills well but dies too often.

Best places for Hybrid Elementalist:

• Miasma Cave if undergeared
• Closed Mine if mobs hit hard
• Asylum Third Floor
• Realms
• Shinewood
• Heaven’s Hell
• Rifts
• Firmament
• Monster Hunt

• Magic damage
• Skill rank
• Cast speed
• Cooldown reduction
• Max HP
• Skill Block
• Block
• Resistance
• Critical Hit Resistance
• Damage Taken Reduction
• Movement
• Stun / slow reduction

Hybrid is not weak.

Hybrid is the setup that lets you keep farming instead of dying every pull.

Elementalist Leveling Guide

Elementalist follows the Elf-side route first.

Route:

1. Norine
2. Laflesia
3. Unmarked Tomb
4. Vigorore South Portal
5. Miasma Cave
6. Deribelle
7. Closed Mine
8. Asylum

How to continue:

1. Open inventory.
2. Use Asylum Passport.
3. Enter Asylum First Floor.

How to Reach Realm Maps After Level 70

After level 70, Elementalist joins the high-level route:

1. Ice Realm / Frozen Infinity
2. Lightning Realm / Teslon Outpost
3. Poison Realm / Evergreen Paradise
4. Shinewood / Ellore
5. Heaven’s Hell World

Main rewards:

Elementalist use:

Poison Realm is where you start preparing two setups:

• Full Damage setup for farming
• Support / Hybrid setup for survival and PvP

Realm Monster Hunt / Boosted Event Mobs

When Monster Hunt or boosted event mobs are active, prioritize them if your Elementalist can survive.

Elementalist is good during event spawns because:

• AoE clears groups fast.
• Control makes pulls safer.
• Healing helps survive mistakes.
• Event windows speed up leveling.
• Hybrid gear can keep you alive in bigger pulls.

Safe method:

1. Stand near the edge of the spawn.
2. Pull a medium group.
3. Control first.
4. AoE second.
5. Heal if needed.
6. Move before mobs surround you.
7. Switch Hybrid / Support gear if needed.

Bad method:

• Running into the middle of the spawn.
• Pulling everything at once.
• Fighting while surrounded.
• Forgetting potions.
• Staying in full damage when mobs are already killing you.

Level 99+: Shinewood / Ellore

At level 99, stop using Realm maps as your main path.

Move to Shinewood / Ellore.

How to reach Shinewood:

1. Finish Realm farming.
2. Return to Deribelle or main city.
3. Open city/world portal.
4. Select Shinewood or Ellore.
5. Enter Shinewood.
6. Find the Ellore quest area.
7. Start Shinewood quests.
8. Farm nearby mobs and collect materials.

Why Elementalist goes to Shinewood:

• Realms become slower later.
• Shinewood gives better progression after level 99.
• Shinewood quests give useful materials.
• You prepare for Heaven’s Hell.
• You work toward Realm and gear progression.
• You start needing proper Damage ↔ Hybrid / Support switching.
• You test whether your Elementalist is ready for HH.

Useful rewards include:

• Shard of Rebirth
• Tempering Gems

Before Shinewood, prepare:

• Strong weapon
• Intelligent damage rings
• Good necklace
• Armor with useful stones
• Pet active
• Lens Stone+
• Compound Potion
• Damage ↔ Hybrid / Support switch
• Buff ↔ Fight switch
• Enough potions

Elementalist advice:

Full Damage farms faster.
Hybrid is safer.
Support / Healing is better if PvP or hard mobs are a problem.

Level 100+: Heaven’s Hell World

At level 100, start Heaven’s Hell progression.

Do not enter HH like a normal farming map.

HH monsters are stronger and Elementalist needs better gear.

How to reach Heaven’s Hell:

1. Finish Shinewood preparation.
2. Return to the portal area.
3. Open world/zone portal.
4. Select Heaven’s Hell.
5. Start with Flames of Hell.
6. Move to Bloodline of Life at 106+.
7. Move to Blade Storm Mountain at 113+.

HH path:

| Level | HH zone | What to do |
|---|---|
| 100 to 106 | Flames of Hell | Start HH leveling and quest progression |
| 106 to 113 | Bloodline of Life | Continue HH leveling, join Monster Hunt when active |
| 113 to 120 | Blade Storm Mountain | Final leveling path to 120 |

Why Elementalist goes to HH:

• Main level 100+ leveling path
• Leads toward HH armor
• HH armor prepares Elementalist for Nightfall Armor
• HH quests give important rewards
• Monster Hunt can speed up leveling
• Endgame starts here

Before HH, prepare:

• Full Damage gear
• Hybrid / Support gear
• Damage ↔ Hybrid / Support switch
• Buff ↔ Fight switch
• Strong weapon
• Good rings
• Good necklace
• Armor with useful Elementalist yellows
• Better stones
• Potions
• Correct Oread if available

Flames of Hell: Level 100 to 106

Start carefully.

What to do:

1. Enter Flames of Hell.
2. Start with small pulls.
3. Test how much damage mobs deal.
4. Use Full Damage if you survive.
5. Use Hybrid if damage is too high.
6. Complete HH quests when possible.
7. Farm until Bloodline of Life.

Elementalist advice:

• Control mobs before close AoE.
• Do not stand inside mobs.
• Heal if needed.
• Switch Hybrid gear when needed.

Bloodline of Life: Level 106 to 113

Bloodline of Life is harder.

This is also a key Monster Hunt area.

When Monster Hunt is active, additional mobs spawn and give boosted EXP. This is a strong leveling window, but more mobs also means more danger.

What to do:

1. Enter Bloodline of Life at 106+.
2. Start with smaller pulls.
3. Use damage setup if safe.
4. Use Hybrid if mobs hit too hard.
5. Use Support / Healing setup if PvP starts or party needs support.
6. Join Monster Hunt only if you can survive the extra mobs.
7. Farm toward 113.

Monster Hunt method:

• Pull from the edge.
• Control first.
• AoE second.
• Heal if needed.
• Move constantly.
• Do not stand inside the full spawn with weak gear.
• Switch Hybrid / Support if focused.

Blade Storm Mountain: Level 113 to 120

Blade Storm Mountain is the final main leveling zone before 120.

Before farming here, prepare:

• Strong weapon
• Good rings
• Good necklace
• Useful armor yellows
• Better stones
• Damage ↔ Hybrid / Support switch
• Buff ↔ Fight switch
• Correct Oread if available
• Potions
• Free inventory space

What to do:

1. Enter Blade Storm Mountain at 113+.
2. Test a small pull first.
3. Use Full Damage if you survive.
4. Use Hybrid if full damage dies too fast.
5. Keep Support / Healing set ready.
6. Complete HH quests.
7. Farm to level 120.

Elementalist Unique Rings

Elementalist uses caster-style ring logic.

Use:

• Intelligent rings for damage and elemental/dimensional pressure
• Excellent rings for +skill rank and support value
• Defensive rings for Hybrid / Support setup

Do not build Elementalist around Glorious crit rings.

Full Damage Elementalist Rings

Best damage path:

Intelligent Shuta / Intelligent Blode → Intelligent Pargon → Intelligent Ohkeros → Intelligent Yalquninas → Intelligent Feathered

If skill rank gives more value:

Excellent Shuta / Excellent Blode → Excellent Ohkeros → Excellent Feathered

Support / Hybrid Elementalist Rings

Hybrid Elementalist Rings

Use one damage ring and one survival / rank ring.

Good examples:

• Intelligent Ohkeros + Excellent Gadius
• Intelligent Yalquninas + Sentinel
• Intelligent Feathered + Excellent Feathered
• Intelligent Feathered + Sentinel
• Excellent Feathered + Excellent Gadius

Elementalist Unique Necklaces

Elementalist necklace choice is important.

Use:

• Excellent Faren as the main final all-around necklace

Full Damage Elementalist Necklaces

Best damage path:

Intelligent Karkaen → Intelligent Biglos / Intelligent Shocker → Intelligent Luke → Intelligent Norgen / Excellent Norgen → Excellent Faren

Support / Healing Necklaces

Why Excellent Faren is the main final necklace

Excellent Faren is usually the main final Elementalist necklace because Elementalist needs to survive while dealing damage, healing, supporting, and using Mutation.

Pure damage is useless if you die before your skills matter.

Use Intelligent necklaces during progression for damage.

Use Excellent Faren as the safer final all-around choice.

Attendance Rings for Elementalist

Attendance Rings are temporary.

Replace Attendance Rings with proper unique rings later.

Elementalist Stones and Sockets

Use official Socket and Refinery guides for full upgrade steps.

Full Damage Elementalist Sockets

Use this for elemental/magic/dimensional farming direction.

Support / Healing Elementalist Sockets

Use this when you die too fast or need PvP survival.

Hybrid Elementalist Sockets

Use Fragment of Ashtal if damage is too low.

Use Stamina if survival is too low.

Simple rule:

Damage problem = Ashtal.
Survival problem = Stamina.

Elementalist Titles

Use official title guides for unlock steps and materials.

This guide only explains what Elementalist should choose.

Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3 Titles

Do not overthink early titles.

For Elementalist, look for:

• Damage

Rank 4 and Rank 5 matter more because they give +1 rank to selected skills.

Rank 4 Title: Elementalist Choices

Elementalist Rank 4 skill pool includes:

• Frozen Darts
• Hyper Soul

• Elemental Tentacle
• Prismatic Chain

Elementalist Armor Yellows

Use official Elementalist Yellow Armor List for the full list.

This section shows what to chase.

Best Elementalist Yellows by Armor Part

Garb

Good damage yellows:

• Snow Hazard
• Gradion
• Mercury
• Thunder Descent
• Poison Vapor
• Elemental Storm
• Venom
• Cygnus
• Silver

Good farming/control yellows:

• Snow Hazard
• Elemental Storm
• Poison Vapor

Sleeves

Good damage/buff yellows:

• Fine Staff
• Moonlight Blessing
• Fairy Bless

Good support yellows:

• Holy Ground
• Moonlight Blessing
• Fairy Bless

Chakram note:

Fine Chakram is useful only if you are actually playing Chakram setup. Do not chase it for normal Staff Elementalist.

Skirt

This is very important for Elementalist.

Good PvP / class yellows:

• Mutation
• Soul Barrier
• Hyper Soul
• Frost Armor
• Descent of Luna

Good utility yellows:

• Increase Gate
• Lightning Strike

If you are building PvP or Support Elementalist, Mutation yellow is high value.

Shoes

Good healing/support yellows:

• Elemental Heal
• Recovery Time

Good survival yellows:

• Defense Master
• Combat Master

Cap

Good damage yellows:

• Intellect
• Mind Boost
• Power Surge

Good survival yellow:

• Endurance

Elementalist Armor Progression

Elementalist armor path:

1. Level-up reward armor
2. Better socketed armor
3. Ancient Armor with useful Elementalist yellows
4. Heaven’s Hell armor
5. Nightfall Armor

Heaven’s Hell Armor for Elementalist

HH armor is important before Nightfall.

Good HH armor helps Elementalist because it can give:

• Learned skill ranks
• Max HP / MP
• Defense
• Skill Block
• Block
• Dodge
• Resistances
• Cast time / cooldown values if present
• Better survival in HH and Firmament

Elementalist needs HH armor because full damage gear becomes risky in hard zones and PvP.

Do not build HH armor with bad yellows if you plan to upgrade later.

Nightfall Armor for Elementalist

Nightfall Armor is an endgame upgrade from HH armor.

Required materials:

Nightfall keeps:

• Existing stones
• Existing yellows
• Reinforcement level
• Slot count
• Base stats

Then it adds 2 random bonus stats.

Do not upgrade a bad HH piece unless you are ready to keep its yellows and slots.

Rifts for Elementalist

Rifts are useful after level 106.

Elementalist in Rifts:

Rifts test damage and survival.

If you clear fast but die often, use Hybrid gear.

If damage is too low, improve weapon, rings, necklace, and stones.

If mobs reach you too fast, use control earlier and move back.

Control first, AoE second, heal or switch Hybrid if needed.

Elementalist rule:

Farm in damage gear only if you survive.

Common Elementalist Mistakes

Mistake 1: Playing Elementalist like only a damage farmer

Elementalist farms fast, but her support, healing, and Mutation value matter a lot later.

Fix:

Build Support / Hybrid gear and learn when to heal, support, and use Mutation.

Mistake 2: Ignoring Mutation

Mutation is one of the key Elementalist tools.

Fix:

Build around it for PvP/support and do not waste it randomly.

Mistake 3: Ignoring healing value

Elementalist has healing and recovery tools.

Fix:

Use Elemental Heal and support setup when farming hard maps or helping party.

Mistake 4: Standing in front

Elementalist is not a frontline tank.

Fix:

Stay behind frontline and switch Hybrid gear when focused.

Mistake 5: Building only full damage

Full damage is good until mobs or players start killing you.

Fix:

Build Damage ↔ Hybrid and Support ↔ Damage switches.

Mistake 6: Using Glorious crit uniques

Elementalist is not a crit class.

Fix:

Use Intelligent uniques for damage progression and Excellent uniques for skill rank / survival.

Mistake 7: Using wrong stones

Elementalist damage is magic, dimensional, elemental, and cast-based.

Fix:

Use Fragment of Ashtal for damage. Use Stamina if dying.

Mistake 8: Pulling too many event mobs

Monster Hunt mobs are good XP, but they can kill weak Elementalists fast.

Fix:

Pull from edge, control first, AoE second, heal or switch Hybrid if needed.

Mistake 9: Forcing Chakram without testing

Chakram is possible, but not the default safe route.

Fix:

Use Staff as the main caster route unless you know your Chakram setup works.

Mistake 10: Upgrading bad HH yellows

Nightfall keeps your old yellows.

Fix:

Only upgrade HH pieces with yellows you are willing to keep.

Final Elementalist Advice

Use Full Damage Elementalist to level and farm fast.

Use Support / Healing Elementalist for PvP, siege, bosses, and party fights.

Use Hybrid Elementalist when full damage dies too much.

Use Staff as the safest main caster route. Chakram is possible, but should be tested before building around it.

Elementalist is strong because of dimensional damage, AoE farming, Mutation, healing, support value, and good party impact.

Elementalist is weak when caught in full damage gear with no switch.

A good Elementalist knows:

• where to farm,
• when to switch maps,
• when to control before AoE,
• when to heal,
• when to use Mutation,
• when to support party,
• when to switch Hybrid gear,
• when to stop chasing,
• when to replace bad gear before moving forward.

If you are lost after level 70, return to Deribelle and use the portal route:

Ice Realm → Lightning Realm → Poison Realm → Shinewood → Heaven’s Hell.
