Wizard

Description

Wizards dedicate their lives to learning the powers of fire, ice, and magic; channeling their knowledge into ever more destructive spells to unleash upon their enemies. Wizards are primarily a magic-using class, with the ability to wear cloth armor and wield blunt weapons and daggers.

Wizards are the most single-minded of spell casters, with the majority of their spells dedicated to delivering massive amounts of damage as rapidly as possible. To aid in their constant search for power, wizard have also perfected the art of teleportation - allowing them to instantly transport themselves and their allies to the most remote corners of Norrath and beyond.

Wizards are a tightly focused class, gaining the greatest ability to deal magical damage in exchange for limited variety in their spell selection. Wizards are capable adventurers solo once they are able to quad kite at level 29. Wizard generally get left out of groups among min maxers due to Wizards suffering mana issues with fast killing groups. Ironically the worse a group is the more a Wizard excels, since they are able to meditate more often and therefore contribute. Play Wizard if you value burst damage and prefer to solo and/or raid.

Creation Guide

Picking the Right Race

The first thing you have to pick then is your race. Which race you pick will determine the foundation of you character for the rest of your life in Norrath so it is kind of important you pick one you like.

Wizards must choose one of five races, and a wizard's main stat is intelligence. Erudites have the highest base intelligence, but suffer from night-blindness (a minor consideration with the Titanium EQ client). Gnomes and Dark Elves are roughly tied for the second highest base intelligence. Dark Elves are often killed on sight, but benefit from ultravision and the ability to hide, which is the only unique skill among wizard races. High Elves have reasonably high intelligence and the highest base charisma which can help slightly with vendor pricing. Humans have the lowest intelligence and night-blindness, but have the most rounded stats and the highest strength, which can help you carry extra loot early in the game.

Ultimately, however, a wizard's effectiveness is determined by total mana (for maximum burst damage and useful for quadding) and mana regen rate (for long-term sustained dps). Because intelligence gear is easily obtained and because all races regenerate mana at the same rate, no one race is substantially superior to another. Choosing the race you enjoy the look of most should be your primary concern.

Religion

Generally speaking being agnostic is a fairly safe bet in Everquest. Religion serves only to get you into trouble in many situations. The disadvantage to doing this is that some items and some quests can only be done by followers of certain religions. Following a religion will at worst get you killed in some areas, but generally you can avoid these. Following Innoruuk is probably the most dangerous religion as they have the most places in the game where they are Kill on Sight. In the end it will not make an enormous difference to your character which Deity you choose.
