At the very beginning in Darkfall, a player is required to hunt monsters with his starting weapons, because only after killing a few goblins can he pick up better weapons for better surviving in the world of darkfall, a bow and a staff. A player needs staffs goblin shamans drop to cast magic. At the beginning to cast spells, the spells he casts are rather weak but they are very useful. The heal-self spell will cut down on your down-time, and the mana missile spell is useful to finish off fleeing monsters. The results of hard working are only rewarded for themselves, so if a player wants to be a good mage, he must be patient because this is a long process to go.
