At 25 these are my skills. I wanna be able to enchant soon so my 500's are gonna get put off until 40-50 when I might have the mana to immolate. I do want to get 515 soon and 430 at 30, hopefully 925 too. I want 930 right after since I wanna be able to move around faster. I hunt icemule so fire is a must. I dont really find the time to use 505 since I stun/kill most things first shot.
My skills as of now:
Physical Fitness...................| 111 27
Arcane Symbols.....................| 154 54
Magic Item Use.....................| 154 54
Spell Aiming.......................| 154 54

Spell Lists
Major Elemental....................| 13

Spell Lists
Minor Elemental....................| 25
Spell Lists
Wizard.............................| 21
Training Points: 3 Phy 0 Mnt (744 Phy converted to Mnt)

I figure maybe some more emc here and there for per pulse gain but 1x seems to do good. Any help would be great but hopefully I got this figured out.

Let me blast some thoughts out right now:

- 930, when you first learn it, is just going to roast you more than it'll help you. Level and Wizard Ranks seem to help with success, and at 30th level with 30 ranks you gonna die, clown,,,
- brother, you're not going to have enough manna to hunt with 519 in the 40-50 range! That's a wild ambition. With 1x fire lore, if you blast wild ranks of MjE to pump your CS, you could feasibly start immolating shit around your 70s (Maaghara), assuming a good (COL) society choice for a CS-based hunter,
- I recommend getting MnE and MjE to your level and keeping them there, putting triples into Wizard Base as you're able to. Once you hit 75 ranks MnE to max the AS boost from 425, you'll probably have a good idea of what sort of built you want later (full on Immo with 500s CS, more balanced across the spheres, etc)
- good call on 1x PF, keep that up til 101 ranks

Good luck have fun!

Many people say not to train past your level in harness power because you only get 1 mana per train after 1x. The extra mana is nice though. Maybe as you get older you can bring that down.

Air lore and 505 is nice, but you have a good reason for skipping it. As a halfling, the extra disk space is a life saver a times.

930 is pretty worthless at level 30. A familiar rune will increase your chances by 10% plus 1% for every 10 MIU bonus. I don't cast without a rune because I know I will end up dying.

So 930 isn't too important. At least not until much later. I plan on an immo build but knowing now that I have until 70-ish means I can get my 500 ranks later. 400's are definitely gonna stay 1x'd maybe pushing for 75 ranks by 55-60(when I need to start really focusing 500's). Im gonna cut back on HP around 75 ranks and let it stay for 10-20 trains so I can get 500's. But basically other than my own personal preference on the spells everything else looks good?

After you learn all spells, there's no need to over-train in MnE relative to MjE in order to boost CS/AS. 513 increases bolt AS at the same rate as 425 and your MjE training will be a better source of MjE CS. (Assuming that your training will remain sane). There's no real advantage to MnE CS spells with a proper bolt wizard. 516 will basically be your only CS spell. Prioritizing MnE to GET 425 is obviously the best decision at this point.

Personally, I'd stop training in HP until you've cooled down to 1x and then keep it there. I did 1.5x until around level 35 then cooled down to 1x.
