Because our server is based on G13, every 20 points of INT counts as 1% magic damage increase. Any % that comes from Wands/Staves will add the amount of percentages as labeled on the staff onto your Magic Damage stat i.e. Crown Ice Wand at max upgrade will give a full 28% damage increase when casting it's respective element.

When it comes to Bolts, Lightningbolt is the strongest bolt at one charge and Firebolt is the strongest at five charges. Icebolt is mainly used for getting charges on staves for Ice Spear and aside from that, it's kinda sub par comparing to the other two bolts.

All you need to do is delete your Giant and wait until it is completely deleted. Then you will be given a new card to make into a Human. I think the wait is about a day or so, I don't remember.

If you mean by the in-game shop, no it doesn't work because this server is money-free. Most shop items can be found by talking to an NPC named Shyla and buying them off of her with gold. You can also trade in Red Fomorian Coins to her in exchange for items, pets, etc.. as well. They drop from any kind of mobs in-game. c:

No I don't believe Hailstorm is useless. Though I will say that a problem with the skill is:
1) No counter; The skill doesn't have a counter so when you're fighting in a raid and there's a lot of people there, you literally cannot hear how many charges you've charged without kissing your screen to hear the faint counter

2) Slow charge time; The initial cast time for Hailstorm is something I honestly do not mind. Hailstorm is meant to be used in the back and should never be used next or near an enemy's aggro range (even though I have a bad habit of doing that lmao). However, what I will agree on is the fact that its charge time after releasing an ice crystal is very slow to start up because any faster enemy can start coming closer and closer until they hit you.

Meditation can definitely be used (and is recommended) before using Hailstorm. It'll really help because of buffed Meditation. Using a staff, you should always turn Meditation on when you are stopping and are casting a magic skill. The only time I would suggest turning it off is when you have to move to another spot or location and need to run. Otherwise, Meditation with a staff will always be a problem.

Hailstorm was never meant for solo play. As in matter of fact, Mage is never meant to be solo play. Neither are the other classes are meant to be solo play. Harder dungeons like Peaca favors a party of players who have variety in their skillsets and etc.. Hailstorm is meant to be used in certain places where it excels, and then there are places that it should not be used where it does not excel. Since this skill locks you into place, it wouldn't be wise to use this skill on, say Cave Dragon in Raid, because Cave Dragon will most likely flinch you before you can get past the cast time and the charge time. Hailstorm should be used when you know that you are secure enough to cast it without you getting flinched from any nearby mobs. This is why Barrier Spikes users are so valuable to Mages because it can block about 80% of the threats Mages have when they are unable to move.

Hailstorm's range is not of an issue as R1 Hailstorm with 2000 range is a GODSEND. I rather have 2000 than a measly 1400 range any day; it's enough to snipe and at the same time enough to have its penalties.

To be honest, I wished we also got the 40 second buff that Live Hailstorm got as well because the 30 seconds on Pro's Hailstorm includes the cast time for the skill, essentially only giving you 20 seconds to do damage. If we got the 40 second buff, we would have true 30 seconds to do damage. I feel like if we also got the 40 second buff the skill will outweigh the negatives by a huge margin.
