im assuming you are using fire attune rings; however, it would be better to use bolt and storm rings, 2 grands and 2 royals. your lure does not have to be that high when leveling. a lure of 15/25 would do just fine. so if you want to free up some points to put somewhere else than thats an option for you. you dont necessarily have to. the key to killing fast is going pure damage. you want to stack fire magic, use gear that gives bonuses to bolt and storm, use gear that increases focus, and use gear that adds direct damage to fire based attacks. you should aim to get aggragoth bracelets as they are the most useful mage bracelets out there. for skill points you should add most of your points in focus and the rest in vit. you should aim to have around 2k-3k hp range but not any more for your level. this includes base vit plus vit bonuses from gear. as a solo mage you should be using a shield for armor, resistances, and vit bonuses.

:roll: He was only off by an order of magnitude. I would value a grand bolt at 10-15k and a royal at 20-25. This is especially true with event bolt rings on the market too.

I would swap your lure and eshield points. Max the shield and go about half on lure. Stick the remainder in shards.
