Hello, everyone. I'm 게임하늘.

Today, we're taking another look at Maple Planet. Rather than covering quests, I'll be focusing on Ice/Lightning Mage, one of the most popular classes in Maple Planet right now. Ice/Lightning Mage was also a popular choice in Mapleland, so for those of you leveling this class, let's go through the Maple Planet Ice/Lightning Mage skill build.

Let's get started.

1st Job Skills

Energy Bolt 1 -> Improving MP Recovery 5 -> Improving Max MP Increase MAX -> Magic Claw MAX -> Improving MP Recovery MAX -> Magic Guard MAX

First up is Magician, your 1st job. Players often start by putting 1 point into Energy Bolt, but I put 1 point into Magic Claw first. That's just my personal preference, though. Be sure to max out all your passive skills. Some players invest in Magic Armor, but most seem to prefer Magic Guard. Personally, I think the two are fairly similar. For your attack skill, Magic Claw is definitely the way to go.

2nd Job Skills

MP Eater 1 -> Teleport 1 -> MP Eater MAX -> Thunder Bolt MAX -> Teleport MAX -> Meditation MAX -> Cold Beam MAX -> Slow 1

Next up are the 2nd job skills. Start with the basics: the passive skill MP Eater and the movement skill Teleport are both essential. Thunder Bolt is better suited to hunting, making it a more popular choice than Cold Beam for that purpose, although Cold Beam deals more damage. Since I already have Magic Claw from the 1st job, I personally prefer to max out the passive and movement skills before investing in Thunder Bolt.

3rd Job Skills

Element Amplification 1 -> Ice Strike MAX -> Element Amplification MAX -> Spell Booster MAX -> Ice/Lightning Composition 30 -> Seal 20 -> Elemental Resistance 20 -> Thunder Spear 1

Once again, passive skills take priority. I personally tend to invest in passives first, then attack skills, leaving Booster until I've gained some more levels. That said, Spell Booster is more valuable than it might seem, so some players choose to prioritize it.

4th Job Skills



Chain Lightning MAX -> Maple Warrior 9 -> Ice Demon MAX -> Ifrit MAX -> Infinity MAX -> Blizzard 1 -> Big Bang MAX -> Maple Warrior 19 -> Mana Reflection MAX -> Hero's Will 1

Since there are no passive skills in the 4th job, the standard approach is to invest in Chain Lightning first for its usefulness when hunting. Hero's Will is ideal against bosses that use debuffs. Keep in mind that you'll need Mastery Books from the 4th job onward.

That covers the Maple Planet Ice/Lightning Mage skill build. My preferred order is passive skills first, then attack skills, and finally Booster, because passives offer so much value. Booster is important too, but I give it a much lower priority than passives. Still, it's important to allocate points according to your own preferences.

That's all from 게임하늘. Thanks for reading!
