92 to 108 lightning/ice= (Leafre) Red Wyverns

For both (ice/lightning and fire/poison) from 110 forwards I suggest trying to get into newtie parties.
It can be a pain to reach arch mage,but after you have reached it pays back very well...

I forget...will there be time to max freezing AND lightning skills? David's got the freezing all set and is getting mediation and a bit of mp eater at the moment (he already has 3 teleport to save ME on potion money--he insists on using it everywhere).

there will be when you got nothing else to add on.
And if your teleport is level 3,he just doesn't get lightning maxed,or he will cut some other skill (which i would do) to get it maxed
For example MP eater maxed isn't as important as lightning.
