How to level a Sorcerer: skills and Stigmas

1. Level 1: Flame Arrow and Ice Chain first. Put your first skill points into Flame Arrow and Ice Chain, your two basic spells, and raise them as far as your level allows.
2. Level 1: Play in target mode. In target mode Flame Arrow keeps casting between your skills and refills your mana. In action mode the basic attack stops whenever you cast.
3. Level 4: Firestorm and Blaze for single targets. Blaze joins at 4. Firestorm and Blaze are your damage on a single target.
4. Level 14: Hellfire: charge it fully. Hellfire unlocks at 14; start raising it right away. Charge it fully for its full damage, best on a pack that stands still.
5. Level 19: Mana pick on Flame Arrow. When Flame Arrow reaches skill level 8, take +20% MP restored. Mana is your limit while leveling.
6. Level 22: Stigmas: Element Enhancement first. Element Enhancement is the first Stigma, then Fire Wall and Cold Storm. Keep Steel Barrier while you level alone; the Sorcerer is fragile.

At 45 your damage comes from Firestorm, Blaze and Hellfire. In groups, Delayed Explosion takes the place of Steel Barrier on the Stigma bar.

How to fight while leveling

• Packs: Ice Chain hits an area; follow with a fully charged Hellfire once you have it.
• Single tough monsters: Firestorm and Blaze.
• Low on health: Steel Barrier and distance. There is no heal to fall back on.

The route every class follows to 45

1. Level 1: Follow the main story. The main story quests give most of the experience you need to reach level 45. Do side quests only when they sit on your way, and do not stop to farm ordinary monsters.
2. Level 1: Pick up feathers on the way. Empyrean Trace feathers turn in at a Monolith for upgrades to your Revelation Amulet, which you keep for good. Grab the ones on your route; coming back for them later costs far more time.
3. Level 10: Clear Sealed Dungeons once. Sealed Dungeons start to show up from around level 10. The first clear of each one gives skill points and Daevanion materials, so clear the ones on your route.
4. Level 12: First Daevanion board: Nezekan. The Daevanion boards open with Nezekan (Combat Speed and Cooldown Reduction). Some nodes add a level to a skill; your class steps say which skills to feed first.
5. Level 20: Second board: Zikel. Zikel adds Damage Boost and Damage Tolerance. Keep the same skill priority as on Nezekan.
6. Level 22: First Stigma slot. Stigma skills open at level 22 and the first slot opens with them. More slots follow at 27, 32 and 37, four in all, so fill each one as it opens.
7. Level 30: Third board: Vaizel. Vaizel adds Critical Damage Boost and Critical Damage Tolerance.
8. Level 40: Fourth board: Triniel. Triniel adds Multi-Hit Chance and Multi-Hit Resist.
9. Level 45: Level 45: the global cap. A fifth board, Azphel, opens at 45 with PvP stats only. For your first endgame dungeons such as Krao Cave, aim for about 1,000 gear score. NC's October 20 patch added a sixth board, Ariel, filled with Ariel Fragments from the Hard mode of Krao Cave and Draupnir, which needs item level 2600.

Enhance to +10, not past it. Taking your weapon to about +10 is the biggest damage gain while leveling. Going further on gear you will replace soon wastes Enhancement Stones; save that for gear you keep.

Once you hit 45. Spend your Odyle Energy on dungeon rewards and use your Nightmare attempts every day, and finish the story and Ascension quests you skipped.

Pets add stats for every character on your account. Our AION 2 pet farming guide shows how many Souls each pet takes and where to farm them.

Daily limits such as dungeon entries refill at the daily reset. The AION 2 timers page counts down to it, to the weekly reset and to the next Spacetime Rift. From around level 10 you can also join the AION 2 Shugo Festival, a round of minigames every hour on the hour.

Field bosses are level 45 and up. The AION 2 world boss timer lists each one with its respawn time and counts down to its return after a kill.

At 45 you have more skills than Skill Points to max them. The AION 2 skill builder counts the points for any Sorcerer build and shows which Stigmas level-45 Sorcerers use, and the AION 2 Sorcerer build shows where the points go once you get there.

Other ways to level

Most builds level the fire spells first. Some level ice first while questing, with Ice Chain as the main damage, then Frost and Frost Burst.
