    Spearman to DK(Dragon Knight) Guide
    From lv 1-100
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    *Still finishing 60% done*
    Why follow this guide???
    Reason this guide is 100% helpful is because I myself have trained a warrior till lv 75
    I want to share this to everyone and hope you all can have fun in the game

    +++++++++++++++++++++++
    Pros/Cons about spearman/DK
    +++++++++++++++++++++++
    Pros:
    -Highest Hp compare to any other class
    -Very high attacks
    -cool skills
    -Very high Def
    -cheap armor

    Cons:
    -Low on mp
    -Can get KSed(kill stealed) easily
    -close range and it is easier to be hit
    -Cost alot of money(mostly on weapons)
    -bad accuracy

    Ok now lets begin
    +++++

    Index

    1.1Stat(AP) points Lv 1-40
    1.2 1st Job Advance
    1.3 warrior Skills lv 10-30
    1.4Places/monsters to train from lv 10-30
    1.5 Weapons lv 1-30

    2.1 Stat(AP) Points for lv 40-100
    2.2 2nd Job Advance(lv 30)

    2.4 places/monsters to train lv 30-70

    +++++++++++
    1.1Stat(AP) points Lv 1-40
    +++++++++++
    Very important part of maple story is to have The right stat(AP) on your character
    -Stat Roll

    -Str: Any number
    -Dex: Any number
    -Int: 4 is the best but if you can't get it 5 is fine
    -Luk: Same as Int
    -Stat(AP) Build
    *Very important, GET YOUR STR TO 35 BEFORE LV 10 OR Your SCREWED*
    -Why??? because at lv 10 you need 35 STR to job advance or say byebye to 4 skills points
    -Ok, after lv 10. For every Level, Get your dex double your level.
    -Why??? because Dex gives you the accuacy you need to hit monsters.
    -Add everything eles to Str and your fine till lv 40.

    Example if you do not understand

    lets say your lv 15
    STR should be around 55 and DEX should be 30
    -STR 55
    -DEX 30
    -INT 4
    -LUK 4

    Alright that should be all for Stat(AP) points for lv 1-40

    +++++++++++++++
    1.2 1st Job Advance
    +++++++++++++++
    GO to perion, go all the way top in the right and you should find Dancing with the barlog(NPC) place
    You need to talk to Dancing with the barlog to job advance.
    !!!REMINDER, YOU NEED 35 STR TO JOB ADVANCE!!!
    congrats, you are a warrior now

    2.1 Stat(AP) Points for lv 40-100
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Add everything on str but one.

    2.2 2nd Job Advance(lv 30)
    +++++++++++++++++++++
    Once Lv 30 you don't need any STR requirement(yay) so this is what you do to job advance
    1st talk to Dancing with barlog, he will tell you that you need to past a test inorder to become a
    spearman(or other jobs but we are focusing on spearman) he will give you a letter,
    you have to bring that letter to the warrior instucter and you'll have to kill monster intill it drops
    30 Dark Marbels

    I suggest you bring some pots since they monsters are little bit harder than normal ones, once your
    collected all 30 marbles, go back to dances with barlog and chose spearman for job. Congrats you are
    now a Spearman. Now its the Hardest part of the game(Atlease for me ^^)

    ______________________________________
    The above is from your guide and NO NO NO NO that is horrible do enough on HP recovery to unlock Increasing max HP then max Increasing max hp first! There is no need for power strike that easry and IMO go slash blast before power strike.

    Edit- also I just noticed that you do iron body and don't even max increasing max hp. WTF!? IF you made a warrior like this to 70+ just wow... Most of your guide is ok but if you tell warriors to do that build level 10-30 you seriously mess them up.

    Yeah... you definitely do not want to follow that skill build. You want to maximize your HP, so you want to max out Max HP Increase ASAP, which means adding 5 points into HP Recovery first... not Power Strike. Ditch the Iron Body, too. That is next to useless.

    Fastest. Most Powerful. Most Efficient. The New Standard. OPERA.

    Firstly I have no comments on the Swordsman to Spearman part, becuz I remembered sending my own spearman to orbis and did the exchange quest until 35. (I went back to vic at 30 to do 2nd job ADV and came back)

    +++++++++++++++++++++++
    Pros/Cons about spearman/DK
    +++++++++++++++++++++++
    Pros:
    -Highest Hp compare to any other class
    -Very high attacks
    -cool skills
    -Very high Def
    -cheap armor

    Cons:
    -Low on mp
    -Can get KSed(kill stealed) easily
    -close range and it is easier to be hit
    -Cost alot of money(mostly on weapons)
    -bad accuracy

    Let's comment on the pros/cons part.
    High attacks depends on yr weapon stats, base dex, cape stats,glove stats,Shoe stats/Topwear/BTM wear stats & Overall stats.

    How do u define "high damage"?

    Armor is cheap depending on what u can afford, server to server. A godly BCM can cost millions. (E.g, 25 DEX 12 [I forgot the exact stats] ACC BCM cost 50M in bootes.) A scrolled STR top can also cost alot.

    There's nothing cool in spearman skills. Except for 3rd job.

    As for KSing, u can't be ksed alot in later levels. DKs can be ksed, but not without a strong fight at late levels. They are a force to be reckoned with.

    You only need the amt of ACC ur training on, no less, not too much. Of course, unless ur paranoid like me. For example, training at FoG needs around 80 ACC? Don't have to pump/ or buy excessive armor/stuff that overstretch yr ACC until 100+.

    Moving on to stats table. (Spearman to DK).

    It's should be:

    Mastery->Booster->HB->FA->Iron Body (Optional)

    Correct me if Im wrong.

    As for places to train.. it depends on yr damage range. It differs from people to people.


    Everything I have fought for.. is over.

    Nowadays I lol, at anyone who isn't a Hybrid DK especially after knowing that we have no active skills in 4th job.

    The guide looks very old (no mention of FoG etc) so it doesn't really deserve to be rated since it seems very outdated...

    Do you have a warrior yanchen, and what level is it?

    I'll have to agree with chaz_jo on the Hybrid or 1.5 Hybrid suggestion.

    And also echoing the rest on how messed up it is not unlocking and maxing Max HP.

    Higher HP > IB.

    WARNING! Do not follw this guide for the sake of not butchering your character.

    As for a spearmen build, go in this order.

    Mastery 19> Hyper Body 30 > Final Attack 20 > Booster 6 >Mastery 20 > Whatever you want.
