Hail readers! Wizards in the modern era are considered capable soloists, whether it's single target kills or quad kiting, they can level quickly and efficiently once you can start quadding. Unfortunately this class lacks power in dungeons as the sheer numbers of mobs overcome any kind of mana regeneration. Most people will refuse to group with Wizards because of the perceived weakness in chain pulling groups. It's true that in a chain pulling situation a Wizard will fall behind other classes in damage per second (DPS) and this is where the perception of the 'lazy Wizard' comes from. A Wizard spends most of their time sitting and medding, action comes in short bursts of frenzied activity. The path to maximum level is a lonely endeavor, with the big payoff being that Wizards are an absolutely critical raid class in every expansion. This is where the class shines and comes into it's own. Between the burst DPS, kiting potential with the {{:Staff of Temperate Flux}}, and teleportation abilities there is no replacement. Choose a Wizard if you like to raid, travel quickly, and level solo.

Welcome!

Welcome adventurers and knowledge seekers to the all encompassing collection of Wizard lore and knowledge. This Lexicon is a work in progress, please use what is available and forgive us for what is missing. In this tome we hope to include all relevant topics pertaining to the Wizard class; character creation, game play, leveling, skills, research, equipment, teleporting, quad kiting, quests, raiding, and more! Many scholars are responsible for this repository of knowledge, and was painstakingly gathered here for your enrichment.

Character Creation

First let us review the class description in bold:

Wizards dedicate their lives to learning the powers of fire, ice, and magic; channeling their knowledge into ever more destructive spells to unleash upon their enemies. Wizards are primarily a magic-using class, with the ability to wear cloth armor and wield blunt weapons and daggers.

Wizards are the most single-minded of spell casters, with the majority of their spells dedicated to delivering massive amounts of damage as rapidly as possible. To aid in their constant search for power, wizards have also perfected the art of teleportation - allowing them to instantly transport themselves and their allies to the most remote corners of Norrath and beyond.

Wizards are a tightly focused class, gaining the greatest ability to deal magical damage in exchange for limited variety in their spell selection. Wizards are capable adventurers both solo and in groups, and are an excellent choice for players who live blow things up.

Below we have class titles as the Wizard levels:

Level 1-50 Level 51-54 Level 55-59 Level 60
