How to not run out of majicka

Gothlander

Im a lvl 48 Imperial Maj Templar and am finding myself running out of maj in pve. I put all my points in majicka and am using mostly skills from the class trees. What can I do to conserve majicka?

What gear are you wearing? You can't go wrong with a 4 piece seducer and 4 magnus for your first character (before champion points) if you're using staffs.

If you're using dual wield/sword and board;

4 magnus on armor
5 seducer on rest of armor and weapons

Both are craftable sets which are 3 and 4 traits, which is pretty quick to get researched.

Try to get all jewellery with magica reduction/regen. Not many sets at your level, but you get warlock at VR1 I believe.

Also use a resto staff as heavy attacks restore magica.

Other than that, slot repentance on your main bar for 10% extra regen all around. The defensive rune thing (not sure of name sorry) restores magica while standing in/recently move out of.

Use Rune focus > Channeled Focus.

Consider running Seducer / Willow's.

Consider another race than Imperial (not exactly an easy one to change...)

Grab some more CPs (cost reduction + extra magicka recovery).

Use drinks.

In this post we hope to show how not to run out of magicka. Take Mr. E.R. Bradshaw of Napier Court, Black Lion Road London SE5. He has not run out of magicka. Now I am going to ask him to use BoL. Mr. Bradshaw will you use BoL please?

(In the distance Mr Bradshaw uses BoL - and immediatly runs out of Magicka)

This demonstrates the value of not using BoL

Thanks for the reply. Im still a noob when it comes to crafting sets. I need to research certain traits before I can craft? Iv'e crafted pieces of gear before but no sets. And I will look into using some of the abilities you guys mentioned.

There are crafting stations around the zones.

Each allows you to create set items if you tab over.

Certain sets require you to know x amount of traits in said piece of armor/weapons.

For instance, for a 5 piece set of seducer's, you would need to know any 3 traits in each bit of armor/weapons.

What mundus stone are you using also?

Best bet is to switch over to stamplar. Imperial isn't the best choice for magic users.

Well, I switched from stam to to maj because I wanted a change of play-style. I still need to change my mundus stone. Can you recommend best stone for majicka user? And to craft those set pieces, I have to learn 3 traits in all the slots? That is a lot of time to research.

5 Seducer and the rest Magnus since you claim to still be somewhat new to this. You could ask around for someone to craft them for you since they are the easiest sets to craft due to only needing 3 and 4 traits. Also go for the Attronach Mundus stone for extra magica recovery. Once you have all that in place, you will see a HUGE difference. I remember how happy i was when i wore my first crafted set, which was 5 Seducer and 3 Magnus, lol. The difference is huge i tell you!!

Atronach mundus will give you increased magicka regen. You can enchant your big pieces (hat, legs, chest) with infused and add a max magicka enchant to them, then go divines on the rest, which will give a bonus to the regen you get from your mundus.
Do you have any friends or guild members you trust that can help you craft the set while you research the traits yourself?

Hmm I will see if I can find someone to craft that set for me. I have mats maybe I can let them have it. They can be crafted at any lvl right? Like I can make a set for a lvl 10 player?

Yes, any level as long as you use the appropriate material for that level. Since you're level 48, I would recommend waiting until you reach VR1 to make your gear. That way you're using a new material with better stats than the last, and it should last you slightly longer. That is up for you to decide, though. If you feel you need it at level 48 asap, then go for that.

Nah, I will get someone to make lvl 50 set. I need direction to a site that has all the sets in the game.

Brrrofski

There is no level 50. It goes from 49 to vet 1.

My Templar never ran out of Magic during Leveling.

5 Piece Seducer (Preferably Light for all the nice Magic Passives)
3 Piece whatever (Torugs would be a good choice, so would Magnus)

Put Spell Cost Reduction Glyphs on all 3 pieces of Jewelry. Make the Jewelry Arcane so it boosts your magic, and Purple so you get the most magic boost. I would put Purple Spell Cost Reduction Glyphs on the Jewelry if you can swing it. Jewelry does not need to be part of a set, but Syrbane would be a nice way to go for the rings for some more Regen.

Your Mundus will depend.

Do the undaunted's or look for willpower jewelry in guild stores. sometimes you get lucky and find a cheap set.
I found two willpower/arcane for 4K each -swords.
I like Juliannos/Magnus combo at level V1, with dual wield and resto.
At level V4 I have decided that 5 Juliannos, Willpower rings/swords/resto and Magicka Furnace (neck)/ 2piece might be the best overall combo for me.
Oh also look for the bonus spell pots/spell critical if you can that gives you better overall power/regen than straight Magicka pots.. Not as many in the past but they are there, plus bi-food (blue)
