Which buffs to use?

With so many buffs to choose from in the game, I have no idea which to choose, and which not to use.

Currently, I use

Grassland Mix (HP),
Elixir of Sage (super cheap version of hero pot :D),
Priest/self buffs,
Housekeeper protection buff (HP, may change to Matk one as soon as I get that leveled up)
Housekeeper Food (currently on Magic damage food)
Codex (lizard blood, etc)
Instruments (only when guildies use it lol)

And I'm wondering if there's any other buffs I can use or should replace with to increase my DPS. There's a codex one that gives 10% magic attack or so, which looks like a Matk version of Grassland mix, but I'm not sure if it will stack. What does you guys use?

Current Stats (unbuffed, rounded, because I can't remember exact value off the top of my head):
HP: 43k
Int: 8.2k
Stamina: 5k
Matk: 30k
Mcrit: 31%
and a crappy T7 staff lol

I basically use Hero Potion, Grassland, Lettuce Sandwich (level 60 magical damage food), Housekeeper Buff (max out your magic attack house keeper and use that), and codex ones if you want. Instruments are always a plus and of course your self buffs.

While I was working my way up I used Loaf of Magic Hard Bread (level 60 magical attack food) to boost my feeble magic attack, but it depends where you are. WA, RT plat+ (bosses, not trash), KT, Sardo, GCH, and ToSH have mobs with particularly high magic defense so magic attack food might be more helpful to you there until you start hitting end game statting and gear. There are mentos versions of both damage and attack foods from the codex vendor, they're about as good... but I stopped using them to save precious mentos. There are level 65 versions of these foods, but to me the increase in price is not worth the minor benefit they give over the level 60 versions.

When it comes to a boss fight I use Ancient Spirit Water (crafted casting speed pot), an Arcane Potion (from codex vendor), and Moti Blended Sausage for 10% more critical magic damage.

And if you know a druid that loves you enough, get them to roll Druid/Warden so they can cast Mysterious Grace on you, lol. It can increase your magic damage by up to 7.3% for 30 mins if they level the skill to 70.

Hope this helps!

Quoted from "ruisen2000;516245"


Elixir of Sage (super cheap version of hero pot :D),


It cost more to make Elixir of Sage then Hero Pot. (2/5 blue vs. 1/3)

Grassland Mix + Life Source (or more expensive version - Touch of the Unicorn) + Hero Pot

As for HK food, try and play with MDmg food (non cook at cap) and Mattk food (cook at cap). In some situation more damage works better then more mattk.

And let's not forget pet and it's buffs. :)
