Nirvana Axe and such. It is craft only, too.
Neither C grade books can receive any special abilities, so it is up to you to decide
if it s worth it to get these weapons at all.
3.2.3. Other
In Lineage II mages do not take any penalty when using melee weapons for their
spellcasting needs (the only limitation is that the weapon grade should match the player s
level). In general, you can use whatever you like, just remember it s a weapon s M.Atk that
determines the power of your spells, and when you resort to melee attacks you do less
damage compared to fighter classes because you don t have the appropriate masteries
(not even mentioning special attacks). You can use a bow if you wish, but every shot will
take away a few MP thus gradually draining your mana pool.
So, you can equip any weapon (at your own risk), but the higher your level, the
more M.Atk you will crave, and end up looking for something proper for the wizard class,
that is, a nice wand (preferably, both enchanted and enhanced).
At the same time there exist melee weapons that suit the wizard class perfectly
fine due to high M.Atk and/or specific bonuses.

D Grade Swords And Daggers
Let s say you are level 20 or higher, and looking for a one-handed mystic weapon
within the price range of 700-900k. Then you might consider getting Sword of Magic,
Sword of Mystic, or Sword of Occult. These swords have the same stats (P.Atk 43, M.Atk
45, one handed, speed: fast, DSS/DSpS consumption: 2, D crystal value: 1301) which is a
bit better compared to low-mid D grade books (they cost a bit higher too). You can
purchase them from NPC s in Gludio or Giran (Sword of Occult is unavailable in Giran
though). So, while books have no use other than being the mystic-only weapon, these
swords can serve the other classes too, so you can sell them later to some fighter or keep
to yourself in case you have a knight-type alt.
But if you are willing to spend something around 1 million you might like to take a
look on one of the following daggers: Shillien Knife, Dagger of Mana, Mystic Knife,
Conjurer s Knife. Their stats are: P.Atk 45, M.Atk 52, one handed, speed: very fast,
DSS/DSpS consumption: 2, D crystal value: 1758. Such weapon can be very useful in a
hand-to-hand combat due to very fast attacking speed and high critical rate (12%). Again,
you can later sell it to some fighter or keep it if you have a scout/assassin-type alt. The
aforementioned daggers can be purchased from NPC traders in Giran or Gludio (Shillien
Knife is unavailable in Gludio though, yet it is craftable, and its edges can sometimes be
found in treasure chests at Execution Grounds east of Dion).
C Grade Swords And Daggers
Soulfire Dirk is low-mid C grade dagger (P.Atk 86, M.Atk 91, one handed, speed:
very fast, CSS/CSpS consumption: 2, C crystal value: 1148). If you got a hold of it
already, it can be useful to some extent due to its high M.Atk but later on you might like to
trade it for something else because it cannot be imbued with special abilities.
And now, behold the phenomenon of a very special melee weapon that can make
a nuker sacrifice his magic attack power and prefer this particular weapon over his good
old staff, disregarding the stats.
It s called Homunkulus s Sword (P.Atk 111, M.Atk 101, CSpS consumption: 3, C
crystal value: 1720) and it can bestow one of the following special abilities: Acumen
(requires Red Soul Crystal stage 7), Conversion (requires Green Soul Crystal stage 7), or
Magic Paralyze (requires Blue Soul Crystal stage 7). So, it is the Acumen SA that makes it
so desirable, since it gives a considerable boost to casting speed which can be vital for
any nuker, especially a naturally slow casting Spellhowler. You can say its initial M.Atk is
not that great, but there always exists an option of overenchanting to make up for the lack
of power.

There is another C grade sword with the same stats and the very impressive name
of the Sword of Whispering Death. It bestows one of the following SA s: Empower
(requires Red Soul Crystal stage 7), Magic Power (requires Green Soul Crystal stage 7),
or Magic Silence (requires Blue Soul Crystal stage 7). The Empower SA makes it equal to
a weapon with a much higher base M.Atk (therefore more expensive), so obtaining it
would be a really good investment.
B Grade Swords And Daggers
Hell Knife is a low B grade dagger (P.Atk 122, M.Atk 122, one handed, speed: very [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
