If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably heard whispers about the Excry Mage class being one of the most powerful DPS options in the game. And let me tell you – those whispers are absolutely true! After spending countless hours mastering this magical powerhouse, I’m here to share everything you need to know about unlocking and dominating with the Mage class.
What makes the Mage so special? Imagine combining devastating arcane attacks with the versatility of weapon combat, all while maintaining that glass-cannon playstyle that keeps you on your toes. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like watching enemies melt before your energy blades!
The Mage class in Excry is a hybrid magic/weapon class that focuses on manipulating arcane energy to create devastating energy blades around your fists. Unlike traditional spellcasters who rely on staffs and wands, Mages in Excry channel their mana directly through their bodies, making them incredibly mobile and deadly in close-to-mid range combat.
What really sets the Mage apart is its unique progression system. You start as a basic Mage at Level 10, then evolve into the powerful Rose Class at Level 20. This evolution dramatically increases your damage output and unlocks some of the most visually impressive abilities in the game.
Honestly, the Mage class clicked with me from day one. There’s something incredibly satisfying about the playstyle – you’re constantly moving, dodging, and striking with precision. I’ve tried other classes like the Warrior and Rogue, but nothing matches the adrenaline rush of perfectly timing an Energy Blade Detonate to wipe out an entire mob.
What really keeps me coming back is the skill ceiling. Even after hundreds of hours, I’m still discovering new combos and techniques. The class rewards players who understand positioning, resource management, and timing. Plus, let’s be real – who doesn’t love looking like a total badass while summoning glowing blades of pure energy?
Here’s where most players get tripped up, and honestly, I almost made this mistake myself. The game intentionally misleads you, but I’ll walk you through the exact process.
Step 1: Find Elarion When you start, locate Elarion (he’s usually near the central plaza). He’ll give you a quest to visit the Blacksmith for a weapon. This is the trap!
Step 2: The Critical Blacksmith Visit Head to the Blacksmith and interact with him. When the shop menu opens, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. Simply open the menu, then immediately close it. This triggers a hidden script that checks if you’re worthy of magic.
Step 3: Return to Elarion Go back to Elarion empty-handed. He’ll recognize your magical potential and transform you into a Mage!
Pro Tip: Don’t even hover over the weapons in the Blacksmith menu. Some players have reported that just clicking on items can mess up the trigger.
Here’s something most guides don’t tell you – you need E Rank Proficiency in Fists to unlock the base Mage skills at Level 10. And for the Rose Class at Level 20? You’ll need A Rank Proficiency in Fists.
Start grinding those fists early! I recommend spending about 30 minutes each day just punching training dummies or weak mobs. Trust me, you don’t want to hit Level 10 or 20 only to realize you’re stuck because your proficiency isn’t high enough.
The early game as a Mage can be rough. Your damage isn’t impressive yet, and you’re squishy. Here’s how I survived the grind:
Questing Priority:
Mob Grinding Strategy: Focus on mobs you can kill in 2-3 hits. Efficiency is key! I found the forest area just outside town perfect for this – plenty of weak mobs with good respawn rates.
Economy Management: Save every Nebulae you can. You’ll need at least 500 by Level 10, and honestly, aim for 750 to be safe. Avoid buying cosmetic items or fancy gear until you’ve unlocked your base skills.
Once you hit Level 10 and have E Rank Fist Proficiency, you’ll see a marker for Althira, the Mage Trainer. Head over and prepare for your first real test.
The Boss Fight: Althira teleports you to an arena for a 1v1 boss fight. Here’s my strategy:
Unlocking Base Skills: After defeating the boss, pay Althira 250 Nebulae to unlock:
These skills are game-changers. Mana Draw especially – being able to use a weapon for stats while casting opens up so many build possibilities!
This is where many players give up. The XP requirements jump significantly, but I’ve got you covered with the most efficient farming methods:
Best XP Farm: Ogres Ogres in the wilderness areas give incredible XP-to-time ratios. They hit hard, so use your range advantage and bring health potions. I found the ogre camp northeast of town perfect for solo farming.
Faction Quests: Even though your faction choice doesn’t affect Mage progression, these quests give massive XP. Pick whichever faction you think looks cool – the rewards are the same.
Economy Goals: You’ll need 2,250 Nebulae for all three Adept skills (750 each), plus some extra for potions. I recommend farming 3,000 to be safe.
Welcome to the mid-game! At Level 20 with A Rank Fist Proficiency, seek out Kael, the Rose Trainer. This is where things get really exciting.
The Adept Trial: Kael’s boss fight is tougher than Althira’s. My tips:
Rose Class Skills: For 750 Nebulae each, you can unlock:
After mastering the Rose Class, I’ve developed some devastating combos:
Single Target Destruction:
Crowd Control Masterpiece:
Boss Killing Strategy:
Resource Management:
Positioning Secrets:
Economy Hacks:
I’ve made plenty of mistakes learning this class, so let me save you some pain:
A: Unfortunately, you’re locked into a melee class. You’ll need to create a new character or use a different slot to try for Mage again.
A: No! This is a common myth. You just need to follow the Elarion/Blacksmith interaction correctly.
A: Honestly, it doesn’t matter for your progression. Choose based on aesthetics or lore – all factions give the same XP rewards.
A: Check the wilderness areas outside the main town. Look for the larger, slower-moving enemies. They hit hard but give incredible XP.
A: Absolutely! The mobility and burst damage make Mages terrifying in PVP when played well. Just remember you’re squishy!
A: Yes, but you’ll lose your Mage progression. Choose wisely!
The Excry Mage class is honestly one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in Roblox RPGs. The journey from struggling beginner to Rose Class master is filled with challenges, but the payoff is incredible.
What I love most is how the class evolves with you. Starting as a weak spellcaster and ending as a blade-wielding arcane warrior feels like a true progression of power. And those moments when you perfectly execute a combo and wipe out an entire group of enemies? Pure gaming bliss.
My advice? Take your time, enjoy the journey, and don’t get discouraged by the early grind. Every Mage was once a confused newbie wondering why Elarion wouldn’t give them magic. Stick with it, practice your combos, and soon you’ll be the one teaching others how to master the arcane arts.
Now get out there and start your Mage journey! And if you see me in-game (username: ArcaneBladeMaster), feel free to ask for tips or show off your own Rose Class skills. Happy hunting, fellow Mages!
