New hero in Altor!

[Ignitedmage]

Hello everybody!
I have played another legends game of spacetime studios, Pocket Legends, but now because of that sad full announcement that SL, DL, PL, AB and BD won't be updated any further the people in PL are quitting now. Because many of my friends gone there i thought to make new friends!
I am a mage in AL with name Rekology
L8 at the moment but trying to level it further!

As a new player i have many questions to ask from you all!
IF you all won't mind i'll start the list.
1- any recommended basic build and attributes distribution for mage?
2- i have 2 Cracked Natural Jewel and 3 Cracked Water Jewel. I should liquidate them or keep them?
3. The last one and most important(for me) one. In this game, non-plat buyers can survive?? No matter in pve pvp or ctf but can they survive in any of the three types of arena??

Thank you for reading and if you can let me add you i'll be very thankful because as going ahead i would have more questions

Thank you all who answered
