Raising Magic Level

Hi,
I have been playing a few days, and am levelling quite nicely in Fight levels, but am struggling slightly on magic levels.
Fight is at 27 now, but Magic is at 18 and is gradually falling further and further behind.
I can usually only manage to get off about two Acid 2 spells before the creature i'm picking on starts to slap me, and then I get interrupted too much to continue and have to resort to bashing it over the head to finish it off.
I have read the magic section of this forum but am confused.
Is there some tried and tested way to increase magic levels? I read something about magic amplifiers, I think I started with some gloves that did that but I started using other weapons instead for melee. What should I be looking for?
Any tips would be welcome, as I am looking forward to journeying to the proper mainland but would like to increase magic a bit before I leave the starter island
Thanks

the gloves you start with are pretty bad stats compared to what you can make with crafting or buy from other crafters prob best to get yourself some decent gloves and try teaming up with a few people killing bigger stuff as you will get better exp with less risks this way at higher lvls in elemental its very powerfull and melee chars will tell you to nuke a bit slower so they get exp

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look see what I can find when I log on tonight. Don't know what exactly i'm looking for but i'm sure i'll work it out lol.
Failing that i'll get in a group and do the healing and nuking job

on player made magic amps the bonus's are more complex than the standerd 20% to all magic bonus on the refugee amps
if your leveling elemental magic or healing you need to look for amps with high bonus's to the type of magic your wanting to level amps made with hash amber choice or above have a heal speed of +100% and all other stats usually 60%+

You will stand a better chance of lvling magic if you join a team. At lvl 18 you can do both healing and using your offensive spells to lvl up. At lvl 21 you split them off into offensive and defensive magic and have to lvl them seperately.
You definately need to get yourself a set of magic amplifiers (gloves), get the best your intellignce will allow you to use. If you can't find a decent pair in newbie land, save up some dappers so that, when you hit the mainland, you get a decent set of amps straight away. You'll need to go to one of the melee weapon merchants (the one with the 2 handed sword) to buy them. Or buy them from another player directly.
If I play solo I tend to lvl my melee while in a group I'll do magic. My magic lvls (def and off) have always lagged behind melee a little but since I started teaming more, they're catching up fast!
Above all have fun!

best thing to do is when you ar level 20 magic 30 melee get over to yor main city there you will have the canse to finde good amps + a good guild who can help you level and give you some monny.
If you ar having problems with finding a low level amp 40- i can craft you one if you ar in zorai. If not i'm sure neunn diggin or others on the forum can help you.
So level up that magic and melee end joine us on the mainland!!!!
Dont forget to update yor equipment as often as possibel!! yor wepon as a melee is verry good but keep in minde you can waire 10q+ yor curent stat in strengt. So if the wepon has a q of 40 and you have strengt 30 you can use the wepon same gows for amps. if you have a amp of level 40 and inteligence 30 you can use the amp.
Good luck to you and see you around
/tell Azal if you need a bit of help.

U really need 2 find a mob that can give u about 1-2k exp per kill
They will usually be killd in around 2-3 spells.
u should also use the tactic of acid acid fear acid.. u get the idea
emmm almways start at max range and make sure u hav NO time credits on our spells
That shoudl b enough 2 get ur lvls
