WarriorBecoming a warrior is one of the most popular choices in

MapleStory. Warriors are a good choice for a players firstcharacter, for they are very easy to learn and very solid

characters. As a warrior youll have very powerful attacks

to blast your enemies with the highest amount of HP in

the game to stand toe to toe with your foes battling with

them. As a warrior youll learn to use weapons such as

swords, spears, pole arms, axes, and even magic

depending on which jobs you advance to.

As a warrior youll do the most constant in the game andhave the highest amounts of HP which will allow you to

tank any monster or boss while your party deals out DPS.

Although as a warrior youll have the lowest magic levels of every class in

the game and youll be very one dimensional, youll also be spending a lot

of mesos on potions as youll need a lot of them while leveling if you want

to keep the rest time down.

Warrior from the start

When you first start your character every time you level you will receive 5

ability points to add stats. You want to know how to use these ability points

from the very start to make sure your Warrior is at his full power. When you

level up click on F keyboard to bring up your stat screen, this is where you

will be able to allocate your points into the stats of your choice.

The main stat for a Warrior is STR and DEX, you always want to make sure

your DEX is 2 times the amount of your level and the rest of your pointsshould be going into STR.

So if you are level 10 your DEX should be 20, if you are level 30 your DEX

should be 60, get the point? So while doing this always make sure you are

putting the rest of your points into STR, for DEX and STR should be the

only two stats that you are putting points into. For it is very important for a

Warriors to have very high STR for this will determine your HP and your

hitting power.

Advancing to a Thief

Once you are level 10 its time to become a warrior. Head over to Perry and

ask Shanks to leave Maple Island. You will then be teleported to LithHarbor and never be able to return to Maple Island again. Once you are in

Lith Harbor find the Ticket Booth which is not far from the boat , and buy a

ticket to Perion. Once in Perion find the Shrine of Warriors, it is toward the

top of the mountain map screen. You will then talk to Dances with Balrog

and he will make you a Warrior.

Thief Builds

As a warrior youll have a choice of many different ways to spec your

character. How you do it is completely up to you and how you like to play.

Below we discuss the three best builds and its up to you to decide which is

the best one for yourself.

Standard Build

This build is a standard build that is typically the most common among all

warriors. It is a balanced build that will give you the most HP and defense

while still keeping your attack power up.


5/19

Attack Build

The attack build is similar to the Standard build but has less defense of

skills and goes to more of the offensive side of the skill. At higher levels you

will concentrate your efforts on maxing out both Power Strike and SlashBlast. This will make be the most efficient build to maximize your damage

output as a warrior.

Defense Build

This build is aimed towards heavy armor and defensive bonuses. You will

want to max out Iron Body to boost your overall defensive position.

Warrior Training

(Levels 10 30)

Now that you have an idea of how you will spec your Warrior, it is now time

to actually go out and start leveling. The key is finding areas that do nothave a lot of competition with other players, and that you are able to kill the

monster in 2 3 hits. Anything thing higher than that is to powerful and

anything lower then that will not give you enough EXP. You also want to

find a place where the monsters have a fast respawn rate so there will be

as little down time as possible. As you level and explore zones you will get

the feel for which areas are good for your level and give good EXP.

Levels 10 - 15

MonsterRed Snail

Slime

Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon

Start off killing snails for quick EXP, the first zone to the east of Hersheys is a greatplace to fight. Each level has a higher monster that you can kill as you level to 15

Levels 15 - 20

MonsterPig

Orange Mushroom

Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon

Once you hit 15 you should start killing Pigs and Mushrooms, they can be found in

almost zone outside of a major city. Try to find somewhere that is not crowded.

are ready to advance to your second job. When you accept his offer he will

then give you a letter to take to his instructor. You will want to make sure

you have enough potions before you continue onward to pass the test for

you will need them.

To find the instructor go the west Rocky Mountains and find the warp that is

just west of Perion, continue on westward and go into another warp. You

will then be in an area with lower level creatures, just run past them. Head

to the top of the mountain and enter the warp that has a danger sign next to

it. You will then need to head to the top and enter in another warp and

continue to do so until you come to an area with Boars and Lupin, head to

the top of this area and talk to the instructor.

He will then take you to the Advancement area where you will need to fightuntil you get 30 Dark Marbles. To obtain the Dark Marbles simply keep

killing Fire Boars. Try to stay away from the Lupins for they are a lot harder

to kill and have the same drop rate as the Fire Boars.

Once you have collected your 30 Dark Marbles head back to the instructor

and he will reward you with the Proof of a Hero. Return to Dances with

Balrog in Perion and he will give you a the choice to advance to one of the

three Job Advancements. He will also give you a level 2 Skill book, Extra

HP, Extra MP and a skill booster that will help improve your accuracy.

10/19

The main skill difference is that Fighters get Rage, which boosts your

party's weapon attack by 10. During 2nd job this is strongly appreciated, as

it is free, takes no Use slots and increases each party member's damage

(except Mages) by several hundreds. The other classes can give

themselves a weapon attack boost as well, but need items to do so.Fighters also get Power Guard, reducing touch damage by 40% and deals

it back to the monster. This is the main reason why Fighters/Crusaders are

considered soloers is because this reduces pot costs immensely.

Pages get Threaten, a skill that lowers the enemies' weapon defense and

weapon attack by 20; this is mostly used to lower damage dealt to you.

Pages also get Power Guard, reducing touch damage by 40% and deals it

back to the monster. This is one of the main reason why Pages/WKs are

considered soloers is because this reduces pot costs immensely. Of

course, constant KB and Ice Charge helps also to the soloing factor.

Spearmen get Hyper Body, which boosts your max HP/MP and that of your

party by 60% when maxed. This skill is particularly useful for helping

partied Thieves, Archers, and Mages to survive more hits from enemies

and/or PQ bosses. They also get Iron Will which gives +20 wep def and

+20 mag def for 300 sec. It is basically a nerfed Bless with 100 seconds

more duration but gives no accuracy or avoidability bonus. Even with thisskill maxed, it isn't even close to being in the same league as Power Guard

and is why Spearman/DKs are not considered a soloing class.

The other difference is weapon options. Fighters and Pages can both

choose between unstable weapons with high max damage, stable weapons

with higher min damage, fast weapons, slow weapons, long reach, short

reach, etc. Spearmen get weapons with the highest maximum damage, but

lowest minimum damage, and with the longest reach but (with a few

exceptions) the slowest attack speed.
