Mages should focus on tailoring/enchanting. Though engineering has some useful maple mesos gizmos, tailoring and enchanting rake in more money and benefit the Mage more overall.

If you want to make sure though that you have your mount at level 40, you are better of using the skills described in the money making chapter.

● With tailoring, a Mage can craft up some cool items, not only that, but can sell them in the auction house. Enchanting is the only skill that pairs very well with tailoring (skinning a bit, but overall not really). Mages have many choices, craft items to disenchant, or craft items to sell. Disenchanted items can then go towards selling enchantments in trade channels.

● Engineering/Mining can be good to produce some goggles, clockwork dragons, and other nifty items. Bombs can help finish off your opponent, so keep them in mind as well. Engineers can sell guns and ammo to Hunters on the market as well, so consider selling them.

Mages are the fastest and deadliest class in the game, but also the most fragile. Be careful in PvP zones. Also, don’t think you’re invincible, if you fail to kite an enemy properly you could run right into another or run out of mana. A Mage is torn to shreds in melee combat, so be careful.

The only class where you want to get close are a hunters - try to remain with 5-8 yards away from them, as 5 yards is the maximum melee range and 8 yards the minimum distance for ranged attacks. Useable Weapons: Daggers, Staves, Swords, & Wands
