Introduction:
Illusionist is one of the 2, 1st job transfer of a Summoner. Illusionist uses polymorph abilities to increase their Atk Power and Def but disable the use of skills, however Buff skills such Resistance Enhanced can be use before morphing.
Reasons of why choose an illusionist:
•They are easy to use due to the fact that most of the time your using normal attacks
•Cheaper to maintain.
•Moderate defense (polymorph form increases def)
•Easy to level (polymorph increases def and atk, allowing you to kill higher level monsters)
To begin with, as a summoner you are allowed to choose to use two kinds of equipment, a chain (which offer high skill damage increase, a little below average attack speed and damage) or a scythe (which offer high attack damage, low increase in skill damage and slow attack speed, in game its very slow).it is personal preference if what weapon you chose but since we are damage dealers, a scythe is the most preferred one.
TO BEGIN IT
In here you can do the entire quest given by the NPC which starts with the novice receptionist, this way you can earn experience and money without even fighting. this will give you a bunch of experience items and money. This is vital if it is your first time. After the novice receptionist you are asked to go to the summoner mentor to do a skill book quest which gives you summon elf skill book. After that you’re gonna start with your journey. In the novice village you can level from 1-15 by doing all the quest, fighting monster and elites.
Note: elites inhere are easy to kill so try as many as you can so you can obtain low level rings and amulets (even though they have crappy stats its better than nothing at the moment)
When you hit level15, you are prompted to do a job change quest. go back to summoner mentor to start the 3 phases of the training quest.
These 3 phases involves killing monster to mining and lumbering or gathering either of these 3. Once you’ve done this the summoner mentor, she will give you magic scroll. This scroll has coordinates (x, y) which you need to find using the map (press tab key to show the map) and move around the cursor using your mouse. after finding the 3 sets of coordinates, you’ll encounter a boar guard, kill it and head back to summoner mentor and choose to become an illusionist.
Then head now to Sky City and buy your polymorph SB there. Right click on it and voila you now have your first morphing skill. Now you’ll train in Sky City. The surrounding area of sky city is an easy place to train so just hit any monster from it, since your in morph form it will be easy. Loot everything and sell those that you don’t need such as archer, warrior or mage items. Keep your arsenal with at least 3 scrolls. It’s cheaper that way.
Do the quest offered in sky city to have extra experience and items such as Pandora ’s Box. This quest gives good experience and money. When you hit level 20, you are prompted to do you Growing Weapon quest. Head back to Magocean Village and talk to Sharison, he is near the Armor Trader. Once you’ve accepted the quested you are prompted to kill 10 or 15 armor turtle man and 10 or 15 vampire siren which is found in Armed Coast west side of Sky City and 5 Devildom Mantis just East of Armed Coast.
After that head back to Magocean Village then talk to Novice Receptionist, and claim your sealed weapon soul. Right Click on it and hope you get a Soul of Growing Weapon (Physical) for added physical damage. to make your weapon, just head to blacksmith and put your GW soul on the soul and a weapon either a scythe or a whip at the tip. and press compose and ok. Voila you now have your GW. Equip it and go back to leveling. For more info on GW view you may look at these Growing Weapon by Kane and Soul of Growing weapon by archonic04
You can now fight at Shadow forest, you may notice some monster here are 2-3 level higher than you, its fine as long as your buffed and in morphed form and around 100 pots you’ll be good. At level 22 you’ll be prompted to do your level 22 quest, which is Polymorph Mastery, had to sky city and talk to summoner mentor to start the quest. after finishing the quest youll be given a SB, right click on it and head back to Shadow forest. When you’re at level 25 you can start to grind at Skeleton Hole 1 via Magocean Route. And you can start the other quest given at Sky City and Magocean Village. At Skeleton hole you’ll get lvl 24 SB books which some you can sell and some you can Auction like SB Death Archer.
When You hit level 30, head back to Sky City and talk to summoner mentor for your 2nd class transfer. the quest is about finding 5 monster heart in goblin tribe by killing goblin ambush. the second part is by killing 5 rat man and 5 armor scorpion in Immemorial Tunnel I. finish it and now your a Soul Manipulator. You may buy your Mind hunter Disillusion SB and use it to gain your new form.
To be updated...
Updates:
At level 30, you can choose to grind at, Goblin Tribe or in Skeleton Hole III, but I strongly suggest at Skeleton Hole III if your gonna use Mind hunter Disillusion (since its at level 1 and you dot have Ferity Strengthened yet). And do the chain quest offered.
Since you are a money maker, and saved money, I strongly suggest to buy 2 Dream Golden Band (Magic). You may ask why, simply it increases your life capacity by +5000 health points and your HIT by +200 points, and you don’t need the extra mana points and dodge rate (because later at levels 36, 38 and 40 you’ll be increasing your Ferity Strengthened which will increase your def as well as your attack). We chose hit over dodge because you may want to hit more to kill faster and to have higher probability ratio of hitting high damage allowing you to kill in just 2-3 hits.

You may want to hunt in the Auction house for items having these bonuses: defense, agility and critical physical strike. This may help you level in higher level monsters than you. You may hunt also accessories with IAS (increased attack speed) and you may want to hunt a good chain to switch over from scythe.
To summarize it up you should do these:
1.Buy 2 dream golden magic bands for 300k a piece,
2.Hunt items having defense, agility and critical physical strike bonuses form players and from the auction house.
3.Hunt a cheap IAS accessories
4.Switch over to chain weapons. (Allows you to attack as little bit faster)
5.This is additional, if you save much money you may want to buy a Dream Amulet to allow you to have the 3 dream gears bonus which gives you IAS level 5
Leveling spots:
30-36 - I suggest if you still use the wolf form in goblin tribe since MH form is still not that strong to use or use MH form and train in Skeleton Hole III.
36 – 39 – when you hit 36, you can train now in Immemorial Tunnel (U) or in the frontline area of Beast camp till you hit level 39.
