    I've been thinking about going on the path of making a F/P mage but i would like to have well informed and solid informations about before taking such route. Like for instance, do they require HP washing? are they the most friendly approacheable class compared to how daunting NL can be when it comes for funding throwing stars and HP wash? are they the easiest class to level up and to fund? I'm fully aware that bossing is out of the equation since they provide next to no benefit in that category and i think they may be painfully limited to where they train because not every monsters is weak to fire and i'm not too sure about the effect of poison. I'd like to have information on how it works. TLDR, i want to make a F/P but before doing so, i'd like to have solid guidance on how to tackle such unusual class. I know they're not the most on demand class due to their core nature but they seem fun.

    well as you noted you can't really boss with them, but you don't need to wash with them either as a result. compared to their frosty and zappy brethren:
    • super easy to train to 4th job
    • cheaper to gear and skill up
    • better value ele wand
    • farts hehe

    Deada$$ ? i heard pretty mixed things about it but however i've heard about you and how you're well versed in the whole mage branch since you're well known for making that BS guide while having alot of credibility in that domain. I'll trust your words on that.

    Fire Poison Archmage its one of the easiest class to gain access to the end game leeching and farming maps.

    Compared to other mages
    - No 0.fkyou% etc drop chance for blizzard prequest. (4-6hours)
    - No leveling your bishop to 15x, 2-3b in mage gears, Gen 20/30 to 1hit skeles

    Compared to attackers
    - No washing
    - No WA gears
    - No expensive gears
    - No need for a team to boss to make a RNG walled mesos/h

    Additional pros as mentioned by @Sen
    - One of the fastest class to level second to shadower
    - no gears needed for farming.
    - Entry-mid gear for Ulu/Petri leech

    -

    Cons
    - No Bossing (YET)
    - HS mule required to leech.
    - You probably can’t do much except making mesos.

    In royals, mesos is king and probably everything.
    Auf / HT or whatever boss you name is cute compared to consistent leeching/farming, Mesos wise. Attacker classes simply can’t even fair against it.

    If you make 4-6 fire poisons and start farming, yeah it becomes another world of mesos/h.

    -

    TLDR,
    - easy access to end game mesos/h makes this class ridiculously OP.
    - If you like party play, stay away from this class, but seriously just make a bunch of mesos and make a NL to carry your friends later. Make your FP today.
