Regular LUK

Each Level Raise: 4 INT 1 LUK until you have enough LUK to wear ideal end-game equipment on. Then, when you do, put everything into INT for more damage!

This is the easiest way to go, and the most popular way to go. You just keep on raising 4 INT and 1 LUK until you have enough LUK to put on your final pieces of equipment. Then you just put it into INT.

Low-LUK

Each Level Raise: 4 INT 1 LUK until around 50 LUK which is when most funded people tend to cap it. Once you have reached 50 LUK just put everything into INT.

This is probably the most challenging way to go, because most Low-LUK Mages buy LUK equips so that they can wear higher a higher level staff. You need to have lots of funding to do this. Although, in the end these are the most powerful Mages.

Lukless

Each Level Raise: 5 INT. You just do this forever! No LUK whatsoever!

This is another very powerful choice, yet expensive. The Lukless don't buy LUK equips normally, they just get a godly Lukless Staff (e.x Maple Wisdom Staff) and then get INT equips. It's all about the power this way.
