How to get 40k+ Magika?

Blevil · March 2016

Ok so how exactly are people doing this? Is it using divines on everything with mundus? food? racial passives?

NBrookus · March 2016

Some combination of mage mundus + blue or green food + divines and/or infused + arcane jewelry + set bonuses... 40k is very doable even before skill buffs.

I currently have 43486 magicka on my magblade.
Character attributes: 64 points into magicka.

Jewelry attributes: 3x VR16 Arcane jewelry

Armor enchantments: 7x VR16 Kuta max magicka enchantments

Set bonuses: 967 from VR16 gold Julianos, 1400 from VR16 purple Willpower

Undaunted bonus: 6% max magicka from 5/1/1 gear and max Undaunted passives.

Mages Guild bonus: 7% max magicka from slotting Inner Light (5% from skill, 2% from MG passive).

Class bonus: 8% max magicka from slotting Siphoning skill.

Racial bonus: 10% max magicka from Breton passives.

CP bonus: 19% max magicka from the number of allocated blue points (I'm at CP cap, so that's 167^0.58).

Food: 4936 (not affected by any % bonuses).

Yes, you should get 40167 max magicka with the gear you are describing

Base: 7958
Attribute: 64 points * 111 = 7104
Enchantment: 868*3 (Large pieces) + 351*4 (Small Pieces) +840*3 (Jewellery) = 6528
Gear bonus: 1400 Epic Willpower + 967 Legendary Julianos = 2367
CP: 501 corresponds to 18% multiplier
Food: 4936
Skills: 6% Undaunted (5L/1M/1H) + 8% (Magicka Flood) + 5% (Inner Light) + 2% (Magicka controller) = 21%

((7958+7104+6528+2367)*1.18+4936)*1.21 = 40167

You can get more max magicka with the Mage mundus and running infused on gear. But you don't need that. For PvE magicka DPS, your mundus should be either Thief or Shadow, and your armor traits should be all divines. (Because of the potency of Thief/Shadow in PvE, you should always wear all-divines if you're using one of those two mundus stones; you can run infused if you're not using Thief/Shadow, though.)

Results will vary based on race (Altmer, Breton, and Dunmer are the three magicka races, with 10%, 10%, and 9% max magicka racial bonuses, respectively) and class (nightblades and sorcs have passives that increase max magicka).

Sorcs have a passive for Magicka recovery and not Maximum Magicka

Sorc's do have the advantage of being able to run Bound Aegis though which gives:

8% increased max magicka
2% extra spell damage
20% extra health recovery
20% extra stamina recovery
Increases armor & spell resistance by approx 1k.

It's annoying that it takes up a slot on each bar & looks ugly as hell (Unless you cover it with a costume)... but its pretty much an essential for all Sorc DPS builds due to the max magicka boost

ahhhhh good to know

ryanborror · April 2016

Generally only a sorc will have over 40k as other classes will have to usually give up too much elsewhere to obtain this.

My Breton Templar with 43k magicka disagees!

When she's DPS'ing She's just in normal light armor sets (Julianos & a monster set.... so not a dedicated max magicka setup by any means)... all yellow with magicka enchants.... blue health & magicka food, Meteor ultimate, Inner light....

Nothing out of the ordinary, and not giving up anything elsewhere, and well over 40k magicka.

Bofrari · April 2016

I'm at 45k on sorc and 44 on templar I can reach 48k on sorc and 46 almost 47 on templar I've saw some sorcs with 50k mag 40k is kinda low.

Ra'Shtar · April 2016

But how do you get to 40 k magicka without getting below 18k health and being a class with no max magicka passives using nerineths and julianos with thief stone.

TormodoftheNorth · April 2016

My dark elf nightblade sits @ 41k without gold glyphs or the mage mudus...
Depending on the class (sorc) you don't need 18k health. you have a shield for 20k or more on top of your health. i run 17k health on my mag nb and have no problems with any content.
If you know the content you can get away with lower health which allows you to have more resource and do more damage.

That's a little like saying...

'How do I get to X without doing all of things to get there?'

TBH though... I have all those things, with the exception that my magicka builds are all a race with a max magicka racial... As they are at around the 44k mark, take off 10% and 40k is possible with normal enough stuff. As mentioned above, gold gear, gold max magicka enchants, blue V15 health/Magicka food, all attributes in magicka, willpower jewels, use a couple of mages guild skills on the bar, or look at other skills/passives for your class and see if any buff max magicka.

I have 39.5 on my templar with 24k health in pvp also. So getting above 40 would be quite easy and still have a decent health pool.

Blevil · April 2016

ok anyone know list of skills that are boosted by having a high max magika? ie. hardend ward.

Most magicka based skills with dmg/healing competent scale off max magicka and spell dmg.
Hardened Ward, Harness Magicka, Healing Ward shield and pets are the exception because they only scale off max magicka.

Ofc there are some exceptions like Igneous Shield (DK) and Blazing Shield (Templar) which costs magicka to cast but scale off max health.

Actually it is possible. My dunmer dk has a bit over 40k magicka on my main bar using julianus + willpower and with a monster set that provides max hp like nerien'eth or skoria I'm above 18k hp. You just need 501 cp, v15 hp + magicka food, v16 gear with legendary magicka enchantments and magelight.
