On January 22, DNF Mobile launched the Next Highway event alongside the new Male Mage update.

​

In this game, Highway is essentially a burning/jumping event.

​

So even Male Mage can start at level 80 with a full set ready to go.

Even if you start now, you can still reach max level (85), finish a full setup, and access most of the content within a week at the latest.

​

Here’s the detailed step-by-step route.

Starting Next Highway

+15 weapon

Epic equipment selection box excluding weapon

4 weekly dungeon entry tickets

2 Fatigue 100 recovery potions

4,000 invitations

100,000 Tera

41 million gold

Full endgame skill rune set

Full set of Stage 6 emblems

4 Stage 3 elemental emblems

Full basic enchantment set

DNF Mobile Next Highway lets you designate one character between level 1 and 80, and the main rewards are listed above.

​

Save the Epic equipment selection box until you have 4 pieces of an armor set, then use it for the final piece to complete the set.

After creating your character, use the Next Highway designation ticket you receive to jump straight to level 80.

​

This time, once you select the job, you cannot reverse it, so choose carefully.

Next, clear the growth missions in order.

​

Just hit the shortcut button and try each one once.

Then open the Adventure menu at the bottom, go into 'Achievements' and 'Adventure Rewards,' and claim everything.

Right next to that, go into the 'Adventure Codex' and claim the 'Bond Codex' rewards as well.

​

Depending on your current progress, there may be nothing to claim there.

Transfer the +7 rare armor into unique armor

Equip all of the emblems you received, and

remove every Magic Seal on your gear.

​

For Magic Seal Conversion, doing it once for the mission is enough for now.

Use the enchantment beads you received on your level 70 gear: the +15 weapon and the +7 pieces for everything else.

​

For Glacial Master, the skills already come with their own element, so here a weapon magic attack bead was used.

​

Since this gear is only temporary anyway, you do not need to overthink it.

Other than the pieces you are wearing, disassemble the extra +7 rare gear to get Rion Cokes.

​

Sell +0 rare and unique gear for gold, and if it does not sell because it is level 70 gear, just disassemble it.

From the menu, open the Training Log.

Unlock Mana Condenser, Castle Seal, Command Tag, and Breakthrough.

​

Breakthrough will cost a fair amount of gold.

For Castle Seal options, STR/INT is a safe pick, and you can change it freely at any time.

Now go to the individual class tab in Rankings.

Check what top players in the same class are wearing and compare it against your own setup.

​

That said, Male Mage is still very early in its release, so builds may be all over the place—look through multiple players instead of copying just one.

​

Another thing to check here is rune engraving.

As a baseline, use 2 Protection, 2 Wisdom, and 1 Distortion

For the Brilliant Skill Rune Selection Box from the rewards, check the rankers carefully first, then choose to match.

​

Be careful here, because the choice can change depending on how much you plan to invest into the character and whether you are building it as an alt.

Also, in the 5th rune engraving slot, you get materials that let you engrave Combat Readiness 3.

​

Use those to engrave it first and claim the mission completion reward.

​

Later, you can swap it to King's Dignity, a Breath matching your element, Master of Status Ailments, and so on.

Guild and Friends

Before you spend any Fatigue, join a guild first.

​

Any guild is fine.

​

Whenever you spend Fatigue, save the contribution coins you get and use them to buy catalysts.

Next, add at least 40 friends.

​

Use a Heartbeat Megaphone in world chat to say you are looking for friendship friends, or just send friend requests to players who are already recruiting friendship friends.

​

Save up Friendship Points to buy catalyst fragments, Warrior's Shout Potions, gold, and more.

Running Dungeons

The illustration turned out well

By this point, your Anti-Magic should be around 70,000 to 80,000.

​

From here, start running farming dungeons or Hell Party (Hellfire).

Balance your runs based on how many invitations you have and how far your learning missions have progressed.

​

If you have enough invitations, the ideal route is 1 farming dungeon clear for the daily mission, then dump the rest into Hell Party.

Luke Linze is recommended because it drops the Giant set well

For farming dungeons, run the highest difficulty available if you have time; if you just want to finish quickly, run Normal.

Weekly dungeon entries reset on Thursday, so push your Anti-Magic as high as possible before Wednesday ends, then go into the highest weekly dungeon you can.

When you are out of Fatigue, use the Liberated Secret Operation Invitations you got from Adventure Rewards.

Secret Operation is in the Adventure menu at the bottom of the screen

Run Imperial Laboratory 4 to farm Rion Cokes, then enhance your armor, accessories, and special equipment to +12.

​

After that, you can keep enhancing, or use the catalysts you have built up by then to try for a +16 weapon.

That wraps up this DNF Mobile jumping event and Male Mage gearing guide.

​

If you are planning to spend, the Ultimate Pass and Frostwind Pass are recommended because they give endgame title and aura rewards.

​

It is also worth buying one more Next Highway ticket and raising an alt (you get another +15, so the value is very high).
