    Hi everyone, I need some help with my lvl 31 I/L wizard character's thunder bolt skill damage.

    So if you could take a look at the pictures below, the thunder bolts are hitting really low damage, 1s (or 3 if I'm lucky). Character build and Ap page also attached below, can't seem to find what the reason is for the damage to be so low, any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    Hio!

    Most people put ALL into INT, with only 4 LUK.

    Also, your training spot can be moved to somewhere with easier mobs that gives more exp:

    Also.... here's a guesting guide, in case you'd like to do quests instead of grinding for exp:

    Thunderbolt is also very weak at first, even maxed the damage isn't that amazing, it's a good aoe skill though.

    The issue is Level 2 Thunderbolt has a base Magic of 4, so it's naturally going to do pathetic numbers (the skill doesn't really pull its weight in damage until Level 15 or higher). You have a lot of LUK: it looks like you're using a Mithril Wand, but a Green Paintbrush has 0 LUK requirement and gives 2 more Magic Attack, which means you could have 31 more Magic by having those points out of LUK and pumped into INT instead.

    This is very common when you just advanced to the next class. A 2nd-job skill at lower levels is going to do much lower damage than a maxed 1st-job skill.

    In this case, Thunder Bolt's 4 Attack is basically 20x weaker than Magic Claw's 40x2 Attack. This low Attack, plus the low 15% Mastery, means Thunder Bolt will not outdamage Magic Claw until lv 7 at least (and only if hitting 6 mobs).

    So, you'll want to get Thunder Bolt to at least lv 16 or even 20+ before it's worth using.
