Element Weaver class guide (High Elf) — strengths, skills and step by step
The Element Weaver is the High Elves' starter mage: high magic power, good speed and ranged damage. Perfect for anyone who wants to wreck monsters from afar while leveling up.
In short: The Element Weaver is the High Elves' ranged mage, focused on pure magic power and damage from a distance. It's perfect for anyone who loves dealing heavy damage from afar without worrying too much about melee combat.
Imagine controlling the elements with your hands and watching monsters fall before they even get close to you. That's what it feels like to play the Element Weaver: you stay in a safe spot, cast spell after spell and watch the battlefield light up.
It's a class that rewards thinking before acting. You won't take many hits, but your magic damage is among the highest in the game right from the start — and that makes a huge difference when farming.

The Element Weaver is the starting point of the High Elves' magic line: Element Weaver (Starter). From here you evolve into the next professions, growing more powerful as you advance.
Strengths
- Very high magic power (INT 45) — this is the class's highest stat, at the top of the game. In practice, your spells hit very hard and you kill monsters fast, which speeds up your leveling a lot.
- Good movement speed (139) — you move quickly across the map, which helps you escape danger, position better and reach farming spots sooner. Speed means comfort and safety every day.
- Ranged damage — since you attack from afar, you can hit the enemy several times before it touches you. That greatly reduces the damage you take and makes farming much calmer.
- Great for solo farming — with strong magic and good speed, the Element Weaver clears packs of monsters at your level easily. It's a class that does very well in auto-hunt mode.
- A solid base to grow from — being the starter class of a magic line, it teaches the fundamentals of a mage and prepares you for stronger builds in the next professions.
Weaknesses
- Low health (at the bottom of the game's chart) — you have little HP, so it only takes a few hits to drop you in bad situations. Tip: keep your distance from enemies and always carry health potions on auto-use.
- Limited mana — spells cost MP, and your pool isn't one of the biggest. Tip: carry mana potions and don't waste expensive spells on weak monsters.
- Very low dexterity (DEX 15) — this means less physical accuracy and crits, but you're a mage, so you barely use physical attacks. Tip: always lean on your spells, not on your weapon swing.
- Fragile in melee — if an enemy gets close, things go bad fast. Tip: position behind the group and let others hold the monsters when you're in a party.
Class-defining skills
The abilities below are the ones that appear on this starter class's real profile. Most of them are passive — meaning they work on their own without you pressing a button.
- Lucky — a passive luck ability that helps in the early levels, reducing losses when the character is defeated right at the start. You learn it at level 1 and it works for you all the time.
- Shield — a passive that improves your shield defense, giving an extra bit of protection. Useful for a fragile mage to survive that unexpected hit.
- Might — a passive that raises your base attack power. Even though you focus on magic, any boost to strength is welcome in the early levels.
- Divine Inspiration — a passive ability learned later (level 52) that expands your capacity for buffs and magic resources. It's an important milestone in a mage's growth.
- Evolution Defense — a high-level defense passive (learned at 76) that increases your resistance. It arrives just as monsters start hitting harder.
Attributes: what to prioritize
Your character is born with the right stats for a mage, so the trick is understanding which ones matter most and reinforcing them with gear as you level.
- INT (magic power) — your number one stat. Anything that increases INT directly increases your spell damage.
- WIT (cast speed) — the higher it is, the faster you cast, which means more damage per second.
- MEN (mana) — helps you keep casting longer before you run out of MP.
- CON (survivability/HP) — since your health is low, a bit of CON gives that extra margin to not drop so easily.
Recommended gear
As a mage, you want cloth armor (robe), which gives the best magic bonuses. Physical defense is lower, but you make up for it by attacking from afar.
Prioritize whatever increases magic power and cast speed. The first thing to upgrade is always your weapon and armor: keep them up to date for your level, since that matters far more than small details. As you advance, invest in jewels and upgrades that reinforce INT and MEN.
Beginner step by step
- Create the character — pick the High Elf race and the Element Weaver class. Done, you already start as a ranged mage.
- Do the first quests in the starting area — they give XP, Adena and basic items that make the early levels much easier. Don't skip this step.
- Turn on auto-hunt — this feature makes the character farm on its own, automatically attacking monsters at your level. It's the most practical way to level up while you relax or do something else.
- Follow the profession path — you start in the base class (Starter) and, as you level, switch to the 1st, then the 2nd and finally the 3rd profession. Each switch unlocks stronger spells and makes you visibly more powerful.
- Prioritize damage spells and defense passives — put your main spells on the hotkeys and let the passives (like Shield and Evolution Defense) do the silent work of keeping you alive.
- Gather Adena and L-Coin — Adena is the everyday currency (it buys potions and gear) and L-Coin is for special shop items. By farming and doing missions you stack up both.
- Always keep weapon and armor up to date — this is the number one secret to not getting stuck. A mage with level-appropriate gear farms much faster than one with old equipment.
Where to farm
- Use auto-hunt on monsters at your level — it's the most efficient way to gain XP without taking pointless risks.
- Move up to harder zones as you evolve — stronger monsters give more XP and better rewards; change areas when farming gets too easy.
- Form a party for raids and bosses — in a group you face enemies worth far more and you split the job of holding the monsters, which protects your fragile mage.
- Take advantage of the Season Pass and daily missions — they're steady sources of XP, Adena and items with little effort; do them every day.
Common beginner mistakes
- Trying to fight in melee — the Element Weaver is fragile up close; insisting on it only gets you killed. Always attack from afar.
- Ignoring mana potions — running out of MP in the middle of farming stops everything. Keep mana potions on auto-use from early on.
- Letting your gear get old — using weapon and armor below your level makes farming slow and dangerous. Upgrade whenever you can.
- Forgetting to advance your profession — not leveling up your profession at the right time leaves you weak and stuck. Keep an eye on the switch levels.
This is for you if…
- You enjoy dealing heavy ranged damage and seeing monsters fall before they get close.
- You prefer thinking about positioning rather than trading blows in the enemy's face.
- You want a character that's great for solo farming with auto-hunt and leveling up fast.
