Need help choosing a weapon

Hello Basil! I just made an I/L mage and I need help deciding on which event weapon I should aim for: the wand or the staff. I don't know the difference between them and this is my first mage so please help me in any way. Thank You.

Yeah but the Eligos has no resale value since it becomes untradeable after equipping...
Ah well since I have the money might as well get it
Even comes with 6% total damage xD

[quote=PinkGreen]The bonus was removed in MSEA, as far as I know.
It's removed in EMS anyway.[/quote]
Did not know that! In which case, do go for the Eligos since it has the highest magic attack.

@kopred98: The Ewand should be the best option, since it boosts your elemental skills.

OT: Go with whatever has a higher magic attack.

Sorry to steal thread, but which would be better for my I/L? 165 M.Atk Ele Wand 8 or 169 M.Atk Eligos Bloody Wand or 163 M.Atk Imperial Staff? They are all the same price (600m which i think is good in my server coughmseainsanepricescough)

OT: Get the staff; it has more m.atk and weapon speed doesn't affect mages except for BaMs

Staff. They are mostly the same but at higher levels, staffs have more magic attack. Wands have faster attack speed but attack speed on a weapon does not affect mages (with the exception of battle mages but they can only use staffs anyways).

The only difference between wands and staffs are usually the speed, but I believe the speed on a weapon for mages only affects BaMs so get the one with a higher m.att which is usually the staff.

Staff has slightly higher m.atk I believe, you can check the stats in the event window. Personally, even with the level bonuses, my actual weapon is superior -- so I got the wand for looks
