Grendel the Really Old in Magic Library, Ellinia. The same NPC handles the first job at level 8 and the second job at level 30.

What stat do you need to become a Magician?

INT 20 at the advancement. Starting stats are chosen, not rolled: every stat starts at 4 and you place 9 AP at creation, so putting all of them into INT gives a head start on the gate.

When does a Magician get their first job in Classic World?

At level 8, from the job instructor in Ellinia.

What second jobs can a Magician become?

Wizard (Fire/Poison), Wizard (Ice/Lightning) or Cleric, at level 30.

What is a Magician's main stat?

INT. It drives the damage formula for every Magician weapon.

Is third job available for Magicians at launch?

No. Third job advancement is not part of launch; Nexon has said it comes later with Orbis and El Nath.
