How to increase max magicka?

Tostiee · August 2015

I just hit vr14 on my high elf sorcerer on console and for the last 3-6 VR levels my max magicka is stuck around 24-25k. I have seen some people with like 30k+ magicka. I don’t really know how to increase my magicka any further. I am just wondering how to get more magicka.

This is the current gear I am using and I put max magicka glyphs on all of the armor pieces.

5 Seducer
2 Light of Cyrodiil
2 Willow’s path
2 Adroitness

I have also put all my attribute points in magicka.

mondus stone Mage: gives roughly 1700 max magicka also

and then there are a combination of many things since u just hit vr14, im thinking you still not lvl 9 in undaunted, that has some great passives to all 3 stats if you wearing one of each type of armor.

there are also skills you can put on your skill bar that gives more magicka, like inner light from mages skill line 5% more, and many more small tweaks

The Mage gives only a bit over 1200 Magick sadly.
You should use blue buffood if you want high Magicka and maybe Bound armor or Magelight helps as well

Bound armour / mages guild skills increase your max magicka if you have them on your bar.
Do you use buff food?
Which mundus do you use?
4x Light of Cyrodiil provides more magicka than 2x Light of Cyrodiil + 2x Willow's path without any disadvantage as long as you don't use nirn armour.
What quality has your armour?

With vet 5 food you should be at 28-30k right? Im kind of interested in the responses in this as well im vet 12 with 24k magicka but I do not have my full loadout yet.

Have you looked into using the Magnus set? Ive heard Magnus is a major set for Sorcerors. Use a combo of Infused and Divine Traits which allows for extra Magicka.

I dont use any food at the moment, I use the atronach mundus stone and quality of my armor is all purple now. I should change to 4x light of cyrodiil then but it is going to take a while to get it on vr14.

@Artemiisia no my undaunted is 6 I think and what boosts do those passives give?

You should get food then since it increases your max magicka by about 5k.

Before you buy more Cyrodiil's Light gear, think a moument about your gear. If you just want to increase the damage you do spell damage might be more usefull than magicka. I just mentioned 4x Cyrodiil's Light as it would be an increase without changing anything else.

The undauted passive increases magicka, stamina and health by 2% for each armour type (light, medium, heavy) you use.

Aah okay I definitely need to use food then. With power surge my spell damage is around 1900, I dont know if thats enough or should I focus on more spell damage then?

The undaunted passive is pretty good then. You level the undaunted skill line while doing pledges right?

On my v14 Altmer sorc I get close to 34k max magicka with only 1 magicka set bonus from gear, v10 tri-stat food, the atrnoach mundus and 7/7 light armor. Most gear and all enchants are legendary quality though.

I do use bound aegis for the 8% increased magicka or inner light for 7% magicka and 2% magicka regen.
For my pve setup I even use both with really helps to cranck up you magicka.

If you want max magicka I would use the following sets:
-4x cyrodiil's light (2x rings + 2x LA)
-2x healers (necklace + 1x LA)
-3x seducer (crafable) or 5x seducer for better sustain
-2x willows path (craftable)

Total 5x max magicka increase with mage mundus stone

If you have the undaunted mettle passive you can go for 1x HA/1x MA/5x LA to get 3/6% tri-stat increase.
A guild mate of mine was using a max magicka build like this and got 44k max magicka.

undaunted passives gives boost to all stats, health/stamina/mag if you wearing one of each type of armor, as mag sorc go for 5 light armor, 1 medium, 1 heavy. That will after you reach lvl 9 undaunted and get the passives for it, raise it more.

one more thing, the more champion points you put into the mage constellation, will give you more and more mag as well, like the others, health and stamina

and yeah, leveling undaunted by finishing dungeons/trials/dsa

Get Infused on your chest helm and legs, Divines on the rest and use Mage mundus stone.
