Quest a flux staff at level 20 to make tagging mobs a breeze (you'll use this forever, amazing item.) Obviously some kind of speed boost is needed too, either jboots, sow pots, or you can level near druid rings or just port to EC once you're high enough level.

Other than that, wizards don't really benefit from gear much outside of really high level stuff. If you make it to 60, aim for a Velk/Rend robe, epic staff, and Manna Robe in that order.

Wizards are great on raids. They're decent dps on boss mobs when you can use your full mana bar. They're critical for rapid mobilization and getting to Hate/Sky. And best of all, they're really easy and low stress to play.

Good luck wizarding! It's not always an easy road, but it can be a lot of fun.

Thanks for the info!

I got the wizard to 23 so far, and also got a flux staff. My druid came in good use for that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I figured I would slum it on sow pots till high enough lvl to kill the AC on my own with the wizard to get jboots.

I was thinking I would quad, I always loved to quad on my druid so hoping I enjoy it just the same on wizard.

***I need to work my spell skills up a bit, I did the bread quest to lvl the wizard mostly but couldn't resist seeing how efficient it is on a wizard. 23 lvls in 2-3 days is fast for me, had I tried soloing or grouped even, I don't think I would have gotten levels this fast.

I don't know if i will ever reach 60, but I like the freedom to port on wizard, and the simplicity of spells is a nice change from chanter/shaman which I play mostly.

I have found myself enjoying simpler classes recently, my rogue is great when I want to melee but do it low stress, and when I need higher stress/complexity I been on my chanter.

Maybe the wizard can be my low stress spell caster!
