Beating Magicite

Magicite is a long, hard, and overall challenging game. This guide will hopefully teach you how to get past the game and beat the game (at least)once.

In depth information for hats, traits, and races are at the bottom of the page

General info about playstyles

There are 3 major playstyles in Magicite

Warrior

You fight with Swords/Great Axes and wear metal armor (made directly from bars at the blacksmith), You NEED a very high ATK stat. This is by far the most difficult playstyle, most bosses are ranged and/or have very high damage on touch, the Scourge Wall does 70 damage on touch in almost every case you will die from touching it.9 bars of a given type are needed to make a full set of armor.

Sword hilt=Wood plank + Stick

Archer

You fight with Bow*/Arrows and wear Leather armor (made from Refined Leather* and bars at the Leatherworker), To do effective damage you need a high DEX stat. This playstyle is easier than Warrior but more limited & less damaging than Mage in most cases. It is necessary to keep a large stock of arrows, stone at first but once you have a set of iron armor. Then convert your extra iron bars into arrows and turn all subsequent iron bars into iron arrows. Although a Wooden bow is sufficient better bows and come from chests. The Laser crossbow is broken it only does 1 damage and it spends Mana to use.9 Bars of a given type and 6 refined leather are needed to make a full set of armor.

Crystal bow: + 6 DEX, Crystal biome chests

Fire Bow: + 3 DEX and +30% damage, Golden Chests

Stone Arrow= +DEX 1

Iron arrow= +DEX 4

Gold arrow=+DEX 11

Diamonite arrows= +DEX 20

Helpful crafting recipes for Archers*

Refined leather= Monster hide + Monster hide

unstrung bow= Pick handle + Stick

Wooden bow= Unstrung bow + String

String= Web +Web

Mage

You fight with Staves/Legendary Swords and wear Cloth armor (made from Refined cloth* and bars at the Tailor). To use magic effectively you need a high MAG stat, because your MAG stat determines how many times you can cast spells in addition to how much damage you deal. This CAN be the most effective playstyle for beating the game but for beginners it’s not recommended with the right Hats and races though.

Fire Ball: Damage=to MAG, passes through walls, fires in the direction your facing, directly in front of you

Bolt:Damage=to MAG Passes through walls, Fires above & below you

Frostshard:damage=to ½ MAG, Circles around Character

<Summon zombie>Spawns zombies that run in the direction your facing and deal 5 damage when they run into things as well as pushing enemies back, only found in golden chests or with the scourgeling race.

Helpful crafting recipes for Mages

Refined cloth=Monster pelt + monster pelt

Guides for each playstyle

Warrior

• Not recommended unless going for certain races/hats/companions
• You want to play the Spirit race or something that starts with a weapon and gets bonus ATK
• Avoid Craters and Volcanoes, because they have very powerful ranged and flying enemies
• proactively upgrade your weapon when you can BUT pick is first priority then armor and then weapon
• HP giving traits are very important because you are going to be close to your enemies and you are most likely going to take more damage than if your playing a archer or a mage.
• Velts are good sources of goldium
• You want to have the best weapon possible and the best armor possible and a diamonite pick
• Crystalite Shards are the most effective way to kill the boss but to mine them you need a diamonite pick

1. Get a wood pick if starting with an axe or collect 5 bones and make a bone axe
2. get stone until you can make a stone pick , hopefully in the first dungeon
3. Collect ironite at least 4 ore
4. upgrade your pick to ironite and get as much ironite armor possible,pick is first priority
5. Collect goldium at least 4 ore
6. Upgrade your pick to goldium and upgrade armor only if you have extra
7. Collect as much diamonite as possible before district 20
8. Make diamonite armor when posssible

Archer

• Best for beginners
• Lockmaster and swift or potion brewer are the best traits to take, HP giving traits aren't super helpful
• The Dwelf race starts with a strung bow and get +4 DEX but also gets -1 HP
• The swamp biome gives lots of monster hide
• The Robbin hood hat is very helpful because it gives bonus DEX
• Dungeon biomes are very helpful for getting the scourge shield +3 HP +5 ATK +5 DEX as well as getting archer's rings +8 DEX -2 HP and the fire bow but the lockmaster trait is needed for the shield and the bow
• Your Arrows are one of the most important things to keep upgraded once you have your pick and armor up 1 tier form your arrows start making that type arrow because you don't need it for anything else
• Don't bother making a diamonite pick the crystalite Shards aren't very helpful
• Velts are good sources of goldium
• Dungeons have lots of diamonite
• Mimics seem to frequently drop diamonite bars or Luminous leather/cloth

1. Start by making a wood pick and getting it upgraded to stone ASAP
2. make stone arrows and collect ironite
3. make a ironite pick ASAP
4. if you have the monster hide make whatever armor that you can but don't bother with stone
5. once you have iron armor / a iron pick start making iron arrows and start collecting gold
6. Make a gold pick ASAP
7. upgrade armor if possible
8. once you have a gold set of armor & a gold pick start making gold arrows, Start collecting diamonite
9. Make diamonite armor when possible
10. Make diamonite arrows after you have diamonite armor or you can't make any armor before district 20

Mage

• Is limited to specific Attack areas (I.e straight in front of you, above and below you, a ring around you
• Pelt is a rare drop
• a bug net is required before staves can be crafted
• Velts have lots of pelt and gold
• the intelligent trait gives bonus MAG
• the potion brewer trait lets you have lots of big potions for healing and recovering mana
• The Wizard beard hat sometime make you not spend mana upon attacking with a staff
• the Magician hat give you a chance upon level up to gain an extra MAG
• Spiders are the only mobs that drop webs but gather spots can also drop them
• The Nobel race starts with a stone axe and gets +1 MAG
• The Earthkin race starts with armor and gets +1 MAG and +1 ATK, which is helpfull both early on and late game
