Step 1
Keep your stats correct. Mages mainly need intelligence and spirit. For intelligence, 1 point in intelligence will equal 15 points in mana. Spirit is for a health and mana regeneration boost. Secondary needs for a warlock are stamina. Stamina increases your health--one point of stamina gives you 10 health points.

Step 2
Buffs that are critical for mages increase spell damage and spell critical strike. These are things you'll want to keep an eye out for.

Step 3
Remember the golden rule in World of Warcraft: Not all purple items are better than a blue item, nor are all blue items better than a green item. Remember to really study the pieces in the auction house or that drop off higher-ranking mobs. Sometimes the numbers will surprise you.

Step 4
Epic pieces to look for in the game (some are bind on pickup, others bind on equip) are sets designed for mages. These include Frostfire, Tempest, Mana Etched and Netherwind.
