The Right-Click Mage is a subsect of the Mage class within Dungeons that focuses heavily on Abilities, ✎ Intelligence, and ๑ Ability Damage. They often depend on using their abilities to attack, hence the name Right-Click, as opposed to Left-Click Mages who use the Mage Staff ability to attack. This guide will refer to them purely as Mages for the sake of brevity.

Unlike Berserks and Archers, Mages do not rely on ❁ Strength or ☠ Crit Damage to increase their damage output: instead, they increase their ✎ Intelligence. This is important because ๑ Ability Damage scales with ✎ Intelligence.

Mages often lack ❈ Defense and ❤ Effective Health, reducing their survivability: as a result, this guide will also suggest gear that grants high ❤ Effective Health and survivability while sacrificing ✎ Intelligence, which can be made up for using the Necrotic reforge in most cases.

Recommended Weapons

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Dreadlord Sword	Catacombs III	The  Dreadlord Sword's Dreadlord ability, which shoots out Wither Skulls, will be very useful in very early floors up to Floor II. It is incredibly cheap and drops relatively frequently from Crypt Dreadlords.
Early Game		Bonzo's Staff	Floor I completion	The  Bonzo's Staff's Showtime ability, which shoots out balloons that explode on impact, is incredibly useful for clearing out mobs quickly. The balloons will deal minimal knockback to the player, which can be useful as you can use it for mobility in Floor VII as teleportation abilities are disabled there.
Mid-Game		Spirit Sceptre	Floor IV completion	The  Spirit Sceptre grants high ✎ Intelligence, and its Guided Bat ability shoots a bat that follows your aim and explodes, dealing substantial AoE damage, making it extremely efficient for clearing. It is most recommended to complete Floor IV as soon as possible to obtain the  Spirit Sceptre.
Mid-Game		Yeti Sword	Catacombs XXII (when dungeonised)	The  Yeti Sword grants substantially less ✎ Intelligence than most other entries listed: however, when paired with a  Baby Yeti Pet, it gains +150 ❁ Damage, +150 ✎ Intelligence, and a 75% cooldown reduction. Its Terrain Toss ability throws terrain into the direction you are facing. The Yeti Sword is especially useful for killing minibosses and clearing, acting as a budget  Hyperion: however, while using a Yeti Sword, you are pet-locked to the  Baby Yeti Pet.
Late-Game	Midas Staff (Starred)	Midas Staff	Catacombs XXV (when dungeonised)	The  Midas Staff is a powerful weapon: its Molten Wave ability casts a wave of gold blocks in the direction you are facing, making it very powerful for clearing and against minibosses. It is incredibly expensive and time-gated, being an exclusive item only obtainable during Scorpius's Darker Auctions event and requiring 250,000,000 coins coins to utilise to its fullest potential.
Late-Game		Hyperion	Floor VII completion	The  Hyperion is the definitive RCM weapon, granting substantial ✎ Intelligence and increased ✎ Intelligence per Catacombs level: when all Necron's Blade Scrolls are applied, its Wither Impact ability combines the functionalities of  Implosion,  Wither Shield, and  Shadow Warp. However, it is also the most expensive weapon on the list, with the  Necron's Handle being typically valued at over 500,000,000 coins and each Necron's Blade Scroll being valued at over 180,000,000 coins each.
Late-Game		Astraea	Floor VII completion	The  Astraea is an alternative RCM weapon for mages who lack survivability, having the same Wither Impact ability as the  Hyperion but providing additional ❈ Defense rather than ✎ Intelligence.

Recommended Armor Sets

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Wise Dragon Armor	Combat XVI  Catacombs XII (when dungeonised)	Wise Dragon Armor is useful for Mages who are just starting out. It grants +350 ✎ Intelligence, as well as decent ❤ Effective Health, as well as reducing the Mana costs of abilities by 33%: however, you won't be able to use it to its fullest potential in the early-game, due to its relatively high dungeonising requirement.
Early Game		Dark Goggles		Dark Goggles will likely be your first true source of ๑ Ability Damage. This upgrades into the  Shadow and  Wither Goggles, which you should swap out your helmet for due to its ๑ Ability Damage bonus.
Early Game		Zombie Soldier Armor	Catacombs IX	Zombie Soldier Armor lacks ✎ Intelligence, but it grants a decent amount of ❤ Health and ❈ Defense for earlier floors. When reforged to Necrotic, it can grant slightly more ✎ Intelligence than a full set of base  Wise Dragon Armor.
Early Game		Shadow Goggles	Floor III completion	Shadow Goggles are purely a stronger version of  Dark Goggles, granting more ✎ Intelligence and ๑ Ability Damage. By this time, you should pair it with 3/4 pieces of dungeonised  Wise Dragon Armor, since you'll likely have the requirement by now: you will find that you significantly lack ❤ Effective Health, so players could consider using pieces of armor like  Zombie Soldier Armor or find other ways to heal, like using the  Zombie or  Ornate Zombie Sword.
Mid-Game		Necromancer Lord Armor	Floor VI completion	Necromancer Lord Armor, while giving less ✎ Intelligence than  Wise Dragon Armor, gives substantially more ❤ Health and ❈ Defense, thus having much higher ❤ Effective Health. It is a good option for Mages who are struggling with survivability, and is still capable of having high ✎ Intelligence when reforged to Necrotic.
Late-Game		Wither Goggles	Floor VI completion	Wither Goggles are the defining Mage helmet, granting substantial ✎ Intelligence and a significant +45 ๑ Ability Damage. You will often use this in place of, for example, a  Storm's Helmet or  Aurora Helmet. It is also much cheaper when compared to a  Storm's Helmet, and is the best setup for RCM when paired with 3/4 pieces of  Storm's Armor.
Late-Game		Storm's Armor	Floor VII completion	Storm's Armor is the defining armor set for all Mages, granting a base 1050 ✎ Intelligence when paired with  Wither Goggles. It grants a lot of ✎ Intelligence, though it lacks ❤ Effective Health. It is not recommended to pair  Maxor's Boots with  Storm's Armor, and you should tune your Tuning Points to ✦ Speed instead.

Recommended Equipment

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Recommended		Balloon Snake	Floor I completion	The  Balloon Snake grants decent ✎ Intelligence and Jump Boost II while equipped, allowing for better mobility.
Optional	Rift Necklace (Outside)	Rift Necklace	Supreme Timecharm secured	The  Rift Necklace, despite not being a dungeonised piece of equipment, possesses a high amount of ❤ Health and ✎ Intelligence for a decently low requirement. It is recommended to use it for the early game if you have progressed far enough in the Rift Dimension, but should be replaced once you obtain a  Bone Necklace.
Recommended		Bone Necklace	Floor IV completion	While the  Bone Necklace may seem more geared towards Tanks, its bonus ❈ Defense proves to be invaluable for survivability.
Universal		Implosion Belt	Sulphur IX	The  Implosion Belt is incredibly useful as it affects Implosion and Wither Impact, making it better than an  Adaptive Belt for clearing and during blood rush. You can swap to an  Adaptive Belt during the bossfight.
Universal		Shadow Assassin Cloak	Floor V completion	The  Shadow Assassin Cloak may seem unassuming at first, but once upgraded and properly reforged, it can be very useful. Its perk, allowing you to deal +10% more damage within 5s of your last teleport, can be very useful as you will always have an  Aspect of the End or  Void in your inventory: do note that teleportation is disabled in the bossfight of Floor VII.
Universal		Soulweaver Gloves	Floor VI completion	The  Soulweaver Gloves are one of the best Gloves while inside the Catacombs: granting both decent ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage, it also has the ability to summon a Haunted Skull upon melee kill or ever 15s, which stuns enemies for 2s and reducing their damage by 15%.

Recommended Utility Items

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Mana Flux Power Orb	Wolf Slayer VI	The  Mana Flux Power Orb grants +50% base Mana Regen and heals you for 2% of your max ❤ Health every second. It can be helpful for boss fights, although it may be difficult to use for clear due to its high mana cost.
Universal		Wand of Mending	Zombie Slayer III	The  Wand of Mending,  Wand of Restoration, and  Wand of Atonement are invaluable for healing in Dungeons, greatly increasing your hp per second. It is incredibly useful in a pinch, especially since Mage gear is often very squishy and lacks survivability.
		Wand of Restoration	Zombie Slayer VI
		Wand of Atonement	Zombie Slayer VII
Universal		Ornate Zombie Sword	Catacombs XVIII (when dungeonised)	The  Ornate and  Florid Zombie Sword are also incredibly useful for healing in Dungeons, similar to the aforementioned Wands: its Instant Heal ability allow you to quickly heal back to most of your ❤ Health when taking a lot of damage. It is also relatively cheap, with the  Florid Zombie Sword costing 877,246 coins.
		Florid Zombie Sword
Universal		Bonzo's Mask	The Catacombs - Floor I completion	The  Bonzo's Mask is incredibly useful for preventing you from dying, with its Clownin' Around ability granting damage immunity and health replenishment on death.
Late-Game	Spirit Mask (Starred)	Spirit Mask	Catacombs XV	The  Spirit Mask is incredibly useful especially when used in tandem with the  Bonzo's Mask, since you can use its Second Wind ability while the Clownin' Around ability is on cooldown. It is very cheap to craft the  Spirit Mask into its upgraded form, which heals you for 100 + 3% of your maximum ❤ Health.
Late-Game		Wither Cloak Sword	The Catacombs - Floor VII completion	The  Wither Cloak Sword's Creeper Veil ability is incredibly useful for blocking damage and granting a lot of ❈ Defense. It is best used when trying to block attacks that have the capability to instantly kill you, like Storm's Giga Lightning.
Late-Game		Overflux Power Orb	Wolf Slayer VII	The  Overflux and  Plasmaflux Power Orb are incredibly useful for increasing your Mana Regen, as well as granting a slight boost in healing and ♨ Vitality. The main downside is their price, with the  Overflux Capacitor being an exceedingly rare drop from the Sven Packmaster and the  Plasma Nucleus being a time-gated item obtained from the Dark Auction with Scorpius in office.

Recommended Pets

A good Pet is important for both clearing, survivability, and efficient Mage progression.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Universal	Legendary Sheep Pet	Sheep Pet	Raw Mutton III	The  Sheep Pet is a viable pet during the early game and midgame, and is still the best budget option for Mages who may not be able to afford a  Golden Dragon Pet. Its Mana Saver ability reduces Mana costs by 20% across the board, enabling players to use their abilities to deal damage more efficiently, and its Dungeon Wizard ability increases your maximum ✎ Mana by 25%.
Mid-Game		Crow Pet	Moonflower IV	The  Crow Pet is a very useful pet, almost acting as a better version of the  Sheep Pet. Its Camouflage perk almost acts like a version of Refrigerate, granting increased ❈ Defense upon casting an ability, which is excellent for survivability: its other perks, Quick Hands and Insightful, reduces the cooldowns of abilities and grants a chance to not consume mana respectively. However, it is obtained from late-game  Farming through The Garden, meaning it is not very accessible.
Mid-Game	Legendary Blue Whale Pet	Blue Whale Pet		The  Blue Whale Pet is a viable pet for Mages who lack ❤ Effective Health. It grants a sizable ❤ Health boost and increases your max ❤ Health by +20%, as well as granting +1 ❈ Defense per 20 max ❤ Health, making it great for Mages who are squishy and need survivability.
Late-Game		Golden Dragon Pet		Although the  Golden Dragon Pet is mainly geared towards Berserks and Archers with its boosts towards ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage, its Legendary Treasure perk grants a +250% ❁ Damage increase to damage, which affects magic damage. With 1,000,000,000 coins coins stored in the bank, this pet allows Mages to achieve incredibly high ❁ Damage: its main drawback, of course, is its price.

The Pet Item you want to put on your Pet is entirely up to you, but a few recommended ones are below.

Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
	Textbook	Lapis Lazuli X	The  Textbook increases your active Pet's ✎ Intelligence by +100%, making it incredibly useful in the early game.
	Minos Relic		The  Minos and  Hephaestus Relic are incredibly useful for increasing all stats on your active pet by +33.3% and +50% respectively: in some cases, this may be worse than a  Textbook for ✎ Intelligence, but it most importantly also affects ๑ Ability Damage.
	Hephaestus Relic

Recommended Modifiers

Enchantments

Given that high ✎ Intelligence and ๑ Ability Damage is crucial for Mages, it is important to select Enchantments that both work with ability damage instead of melee damage and increase both stats. It is best to put as many enchantments are you can on your weapons, and there are some you should use over others.

Enchantment	Notes
Weapons
Smite	It is imperative to use Smite instead of Sharpness as the latter increases your melee damage, which does not affect your ability damage. Smite is very effective against ༕ Undead mobs. You can still put Sharpness with Smite on the weapon that you use[1].
Life Steal	While Drain is far superior for melee damage, it does not work on magic damage, meaning you should use Life Steal instead.
Armor
Mana Vampire	These 4 mutually exclusive enchants will be very useful as you will be using ✎ Mana very often as a Mage, meaning that you will be able to receive a lot of healing, ❈ Defense, ❁ Strength, or ⫽ Ferocity.
Hardened Mana
Strong Mana
Ferocious Mana
Big Brain	Big Brain is good for getting as much ✎ Intelligence as you can, but its main glaring drawback is its large price, which comes naturally with being obtained from the Dark Auction.

A good Ultimate Enchantment is also vital for decent survivability and efficient Mage progression.

Enchantment	Notes
Weapons
Swarm	Swarm greatly increases your damage depending on how many enemies are close to you, making it great for clearing.
Chimera	Chimera grants +100% of your active Pet's base stats on your weapon: paired with a pet granting high ✎ Intelligence or ๑ Ability Damage, like a  Crow or  Sheep Pet, this can increase your damage output drastically. Unfortunately, it is also very expensive.
Ultimate Wise	Ultimate Wise is very commonly used on most Mage weapons to minimise the ✎ Mana costs of the abilities, which is very convenient as you'll mostly be using them for damage as RCM.
Armor
Refrigerate	Refrigerate should be applied onto your  Wither Goggles for slightly higher ❈ Defense, which translates to higher ❤ Effective Health and thus better survivability.
Wisdom	Wisdom is useful for increased ✎ Intelligence and maximum ✎ Intelligence.
Legion	Legion is a useful Ultimate Enchantment for Armor, granting increased Combat Stats and ✯ Magic Find per player near you, which is vital for stats like ✎ Intelligence and ๑ Ability Damage.

Reforges

Weapons

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Universal		Heroic	Heroic is the universal reforge for almost every Mage weapon, giving the most ✎ Intelligence out of any reforge.
Late-Game		Midas Jewel Gilded	Gilded is the best reforge for the  Midas Staff, granting increased ❁ Strength and ❁ Damage, but most importantly a +8 ๑ Ability Damage.

Armor

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Early Game		Wise	Wise grants substantial ✎ Intelligence when starting out, making it a good early-game reforge to put on your Mage armor.
Early Game		Smart	Smart grants slightly less ✎ Intelligence than Wise, although it does give a tiny bit of ❈ Defense, which could be the push you need for enough ❤ Effective Health and survivability.
Universal		Necromancer's Brooch Necrotic	Necrotic grants the most ✎ Intelligence on most armor pieces, and can be used for both maximising your ✎ Intelligence when paired with an armor set that grants high ✎ Intelligence or supplementing ✎ Intelligence on an armor set that sacrifices it for ❤ Effective Health.
Universal		Red Scarf Loving	Loving is a reforge that should always be applied on the chestplate you use in your Mage setup: while it grants less ✎ Intelligence than Necrotic, it grants 5% more ๑ Ability Damage, which is an invaluable bonus that is entirely worth the tradeoff.

Accessory Powers

Magical Power is arguably the most important stat in the game, and you should aim to have 1200 Magical Power by the time you enter Master Mode - Floor VII.

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Early Game		Ender Monocle Sighted	The Sighted Power is both incredibly cheap and easy to obtain, and grants a lot of ✎ Intelligence as well as +3 ๑ Ability Damage.
Late Game		Eccentric Painting Bizarre	The Bizarre Power is the best for Mages, heavily increasing your ✎ Intelligence and granting more ๑ Ability Damage than Sighted. It is incredibly expensive, only obtainable through the Dark Auction and costing 74,699,990 coins to unlock from the Bazaar.

Attributes

Slot	Name	Notes
	Mist Shard Fog Elemental	Grants +1-10 ✎ Intelligence, maxing out at +50 ✎ Intelligence with all Elemental Shards maxed out. It's essentially free ✎ Intelligence and is buffed by Echo of Elemental.
	Tide Shard Water Elemental
	Cascade Shard Torrent Elemental
	Cryo Shard Frost Elemental
	Blizzard Shard Snow Elemental
	Starborn Shard Echo of Elemental	The Echo of Elemental attribute directly buffs all Elemental attributes by +20%, granting +60 ✎ Intelligence instead of the regular +50 ✎ Intelligence when both are maxed out. It is buffed by the Echo of Echoes attribute.
	Tiamat Shard Echo of Echoes	The Echo of Echoes attribute directly buffs all Echo attributes by +50%, making Echo of Elemental grant +30% increases stats on Elemental attributes, allowing all Elemental attributes to grant +75 ✎ Intelligence instead of its original +50 ✎ Intelligence.

	Taurus Shard Maximal Torment	The Maximal Torment attribute increases your ✎ Intelligence by +1%, making it very useful for increased damage, especially with high ✎ Intelligence.
	Power Dragon Shard Elite	The Elite attribute increases damage against bosses and minibosses by +30%, making it invaluable not only for the boss phase, but also for more damage against stronger minibosses in higher floors of Master Mode like Shadow Assassins and Frozen Adventurers. You can obtain  Power Dragon Shards incredibly easily without suffering through lots of floors of Master Mode - Floor VII by placing Huntraps in the ⏣ Smoldering Tomb and fusing them into  Power Dragon Shards.
	Shellwise Shard Shell	The Shell attribute grants full knockback immunity, essentially being a free  Dwarf Turtle Shelmet.
	Prince Shard Reborn	The Reborn attribute boils down to free Dungeon Score. When maxed out, killing a Prince grants a +100% chance to gain +1 Dungeon Score.
	Obsidian Defender Shard Speed	The Speed attribute, as its name suggests, grants increased ✦ Speed, which is always useful for clearing.
	Mimic Shard Faker	The Faker attribute increases the effects of all Dungeon Blessings on you by +10%, essentially meaning more damage and survivability.
	XYZ Shard Mana Regeneration	The Mana Regenration attribute, as its name suggests, grants increased mana regen: this allows you to use your abilities more often.
