I'm planning to make my giant a mage until alchemy comes, but her mana is quite low, any tips on how to build it up or any other mage tips at all?  Thanks!!! :D

I have a giant as well and I use it as a melee character, cause that's what they were made for, close quater combat. Generally speaking, a giant is VERY inefficent for a mage character, you'd better go with elf if you want a mage character (they're mana is even less than human's), anyways, the only ways I can think of to increase the amout of mana that your giant has is rank up magic mastery and enchant your equips.

No

the only magic a giant should learn is Savage Beast

only melee an elf should learn is windmill

A mage giant would be quite refreshing to see, magic mastery + TH add nice amounts of mana.  Magic isn't terrible on giants its just not as goof as the other races.  You can acquire a substantial amount of int and low mana= use mana potions which is what they made for.

Thanks, I just don't want to be restricted to melee combat, besides, a challenge is nice XD!

Its not impossible.  It will be toughest at the beginning since you'll be low total level, but since most of your int and mana will come from skills, you aren't actually losing out THAT much in the end.   If you relied on raw levels, your giant will probably have around 50 less int and mana than an equivalent human (depending on how high of a level you get).  You can make up for that using gear, and you'll have more hp than the average human/elf mage since you're a giant.  Like a previous poster said, you'll be using mana pots anyway so its not like maximum mana capacity is going to matter.  Just have more than 100 and you're good to go.

 To build up your mana pool,  you'll want to rank up certain skills like Magic Mastery (most important) and Meditation.  Some of the bolt spells and Advanced magic gives mana too.

I'm not saying it is impossible, its just that elves are better mages then giants.

I am not one to say you shouldn't use a character just because another character is better at this specific skill.

 Of course elves are better at magic... But why does that mean giants are restricted to melee? Thats not fair, let people play the way they want too.. People make melee elves a mage giants KNOWING they are weaker, the point is, they dont give a .. they are doing what they want.

 

  My advice is really no better, find equips, rank magic skills that give you a lot of mp like your  magic mastery an your meditation, yes i think some bolts give you extra mp as well.

 I would invest in the herbalism/pot making life skills, seeing as buying MP pots for your character will be way too much cash to be spitting out, an you can't depend on dungeons, or mp30's for a mage character.. You will especially need them since your characters total mp will not come close to an elves or humans
