Skill Overview

Evaluate Intelligence is the cornerstone of magical combat, providing significant damage bonuses to all offensive spells. This essential skill also allows you to assess the Intelligence and Mana of other players and creatures, making it invaluable for both PvP intelligence gathering and PvM strategy. Every serious mage requires GM Evaluate Intelligence to maximize their spell effectiveness.

Training Path

0-30: NPC Training

Buy from any Mage NPC for ~300 gold. Essential foundation for all mage characters.

30-100: Target Practice

Use skill on players, NPCs, or creatures. Higher Intelligence targets give better gains.

🎯 Tip: Target mages and intelligent creatures for optimal skill gains

Efficient Methods

• Target other players in towns (safe and effective)
