If you go with a mage build in Enshrouded, this guide will walk you through what you need to be the best mage.

From which level-up stats to increase, to what gear you need, which spells are extremely powerful to equip, and lastly which skill tree abilities to unlock.

All the important information will be laid out so you can be ready to take on any challenge.

Let’s dive into the build.

Best Level-up Stats to Increase in Enshrouded

Enshrouded-Best-Mage-Build-Best-Level-up-Stats-and-Gear-in-Enshrouded-

Let’s begin with what stats you will need to focus on increasing with each passing level up.

The first and main stat any mage will need is the Intelligence stat increasing magic damage which stacks with other forms of magic damage increases. It is your primary stat, so stay on top of it.

The next stat you will want to increase is the Constitution stat which increases your health by 50 per point in the stat. You are aiming for 10 points on the Constitution stat without food buffs, so keep the number in mind as your benchmark.

Lastly, the last stat that you will need to increase is the Spirit stat. While progressing through the game, as you pick up higher-grade spells your mana costs will skyrocket.

Picking up Spirit will alleviate these issues with mana costs, and allow you to cast spells without having to worry about mana management.

With the level-up stats out of the way let’s move on to the gear you will want to have equipped with this build.

Best Gear to Equip in Enshrouded

Here are all the gear pieces you want to have as you end your Mage Build and reach the late game.

Weapon: Your main weapon will be the Shroud Weaver, a wand that can reach level 35. It is the best wand in the game. Along with the Shroud Weaver, you will also want a fire wand, an ice wand, and a shock wand.
Shield: When it comes to the shield equip slot you will want to equip the Ethereal Plane. It requires players to have the Blacksmith, and the Forge to craft it.
Head Armor: For the head armor piece you will want to have the Archmage Hat. It gives both Critical Strike Damage and Magical Critical Strike Damage.
Upper Body Armor: For the upper body armor you will want to have the Soldier’s Chestplate. You will want to increase both defenses in the game without going too far on either physical or magical defensive stats. It requires the blacksmith to be crafted.
Arm Armor: For the arm armor you want to have the Elder Gloves. Though a bit tricky to find, they are by far your best option in the late game. You can get it by killing enemies in Deepcut or Tombstone.
Lower Body Armor: For the lower body armor you will want to have the Eagle Eye Trousers. They offer 50 points in both defenses, as well as 18 stamina, and one spirit seed.
Foot Armor: For the foot armor you will want to have the Eagle Eye Boots. They offer stamina regeneration, and stamina timeout reduction. They can be farmed from chests, so they will be easy to find.
Ring: When it comes to the ring slots, you will want the Commander’s Ring for both slots. They offer 30% mana and 30 health. You can easily farm them from the boss in the Pike.
