Leveling
lvl 1-20:
Begin the newbie guide quest (you have to kill Gremlins till they drop a blue crystal) and xp on gremlins till lvl 3. Then speak to the newbie guide so as to receive a bunch of spsng. Then speak to Nerupa, then to the main village newbie guide, and so you'll have some very useful for your levelling spsng. Then hunt just outside elven village until you reach lvl 8. Go learn skills (weapon mastery 1st, then wind strike etc. don't waste useful sp. Now you have some basic drops (gloves, boots, rings, maybe tunic and a lower staff. You shouldn't spend money yet, go xp at fungus and orc fighters, till lvl 11 or 12. Then just go deeper in the elven forest and xp, it's easy.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Always learn basic skills, sp are really needed, DON"T WASTE THEM.
Also, remember to hunt ONLY monsters you can rip on 2 hits, not more, not less than that. Downtime is the worst enemy of fast leveling.
Sometime, when your newbie spsng run out don't rush and buy bspsng. Buy regular sps. If you want you can buy Bspsng at lvl 14 or 13.
ALWAYS, have in mind you can have NEWBIE BUFFS. They are extremely useful, till lvl 24 or even 25(ww).
->Quest: The quest is very easy, search for a guide if you want, I can finish it in 10 mins or less.
lvl: 21-40
Now you are 20 you'll have to do some shopping. If you have HALO money then buy top d equipment. If not,:
BUY NOTHING! Only bspsng and nothing else! Just be patient and buy a book of 30k when you have spare money (lvl 22-23).(You have already bought a 14l one from lvl 14).
Hunt mobs outside dion and level up to level 25. Then dress yourself in devotion set and level at those weird eyes outside dion again, till you can see they are completely blue. Then go xp at Gorgon's flower Garden, till level 31. Now you'll have to xp at the upper floor of Exec Grounds, at some orange basilisks, till lvl 33 or 34. Then go down on the trees, etc, till level 39. Congrats on your gr8 patience as you have no body-to-mind skill!!!! Well Done.
NOTES: If you have top d equipment xp is way easier. So, my idea is to level up a dwarf, Artisan, (i'll post i guide it's very easy), up to level 20 and then start selling bssd and ssd. That's a lot of money.
Same notes as before again.
More,: Raid partys is a really good idea for xp. Try it out.
Guide SpS 40+
Now you're 40 lvl and have learned the basic active and passive skills:
Hydro Blast basic nuker's attack
Aura Flare close range battle only
(maybe solar flare too) for overhit
Frost Bolt slows the opponent, useful to make your escape, hit 'n' run or slow down strong opponent
Mana Regeneration for levelling, sps has a great downtime, consumes many spirit ores though (they're cheap don't worry)
Sleep most useful skil during pvp, helps you making your escape.
Surrender to water basic nuker's attack, use before hydro blast, or any other water skill, lasts 30s
Learn all passive skills, they're all useful.
Level these skills alone (also learn ice dagger and freezing shackle) till level 56. Nothing has to change until here.
Equipment:
C-grade: Karmian robe set (it's cheap, you should be able to purchase it), and sage's staff (from prestigious items guild, not from private stores). Also get a sage's staff.
B-grade. ONLY IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT: Here you have to make a choice: you can either buy a Blue Wolf robe set [+206 MP, +5.24% MP regeneration, -2 INT, -1 MEN, +3 WIT] or Avadon robe set [+5.247% Pdef, +15% Casting Speed]. The vast majority of people choose the avadon one as it adds cst speed without any other loss. However, the BW set adds much more cst speed, much more mp but you'll have a loss of INT (M atk). My choice is DEFINITELY Avadon robe. Also get a Valhalla sword, and if you have a nice sponsor (a clan or a buddy) get an avadon shield.
Levelling level 40+
You're a spellsiger, you'll probably have the greatest downtime of all nukers, but if you're patient, it will get straight.
Level 40-51: Death Pass (go deeper in higher levels till you reach cave servant captains up to level 51). It's the ideal place to xp now. No matter what others say, it's the best trust me. You'll probably get all mobs down on 1-2 hits maximum so you will have the minimum downtime, and so, the maximum xp. Then, and supposing you have top-b grade equipment (it's important to have a clan at this point) go xp to FG [Forbidden Gateway, Northern of Cemetary in Aden] at Doom Knights, or if you can't get them down easily, hunt drakes there. IMPORTANT: From level 51 and on, as you xp in common hunting grounds as FG, it is of critical importance to get full buffs (buffers near hunting grounds offer great buffs at 70k-110k adena). If you decide to hunt in fg, hunt only Doom Knights. Otherwise, you should level on cemetery, on "Something Orc Leader".
After level 56 or 58, you have probably found a great clan with alliance. If not, leave your old clan, people won't ignore you. If this clan/ally is good, then they will often invite you for parties in catacombs or other similar. Enjoy!
___________ Level 61: Since you have found a clan, ask them to do with you the A grade equipment quest.

PvP Tactics
Your career as a regular pvper begins at level 64 or so. You have full-top equipment, and NOW you must learn all skills (except for the reeaaally useless ones!
SpS vs Close range fighter.
Your victory is imminent! If you're playing in a c4 server, then you don't have to worry about anything. You have two options: Either sleep, cancel (or reverse) surrender and nuke, and then carry on the same pattern (except for cancel of course) until your target is down, or, you can cast frost bolt to your rival and then just hit 'n' run (all chronicles). If you enemy is a tank that doesn't seem to be affected by frost bolt (and you are in c5+) then also hit him with Freezing Shackle. Many say that it's better to hit with Ice Dagger cuz you get damage+drain. However, Freezing Shackle is way more effective. The best thing you can do though, is hit with both. THEY STUCK!
SpS vs Another Nuker
Things are way more complicated here. Spellsinger's main advantage in combat was his great casting speed, which meant he would cast sleep first. But things after C5 have changed. You have to be way lucky to win this battle. Let's see:
->SpS vs Sps
nothing to say here, depends on your battling experience and skills (not your character's)
->SpS vs Spellhowler
Well, pvps against mages depend on the opponent's tactic. So, if sph starts with Silence, quickly cast ice dagger so as to interrupt his casting. If silence landed on you, you are definitely going to die. If he starts with death spike, hoping to interrupt your casting, hit "Esc" so as to cancel your own, let him hit you, and when he starts casting again, cast Solar Flare, Surrender to Water, Hydro Blast, Hydro Blast etc till you get an interrupt too, or till you rip him.
->SpS vs Sorcerer
same as sps vs sps, but here, you have greater chance to win, due to your casting speed.
->SpS vs Necro
Necros usually come along with their servitor. I am 101% sure you are going to die. If you are frustrated, go level a necro on your own:P
->SpS vs Overlord
Overlords are both nice fighters (they can stun you with their blunt) and mages. They have almost every debuff. Before you even die (that's for sure too, they have a great M.Def, anyway) you'll get silenced, rooted to the ground, stunned, and so goes on. If you are frustrated, go level an Overlord on your own.
Thank you.
