    INTRODUCTION:
    [intr0]
    Warriors are the hard-hitting physical characters in this game, as the name suggests. At level 30 a division is introduced, allowing the player to become a Page, Fighter, or Spearman. This guide helps people in the Page path, and should not be used if you are going to be a fighter or spearman.


    Pages are not much different than a warrior, with adding more passive boosts instead of active attacks or buffs

    White Knight is like the page, in adding boosts. However, these are actually timed buffs that increase damage, and a single new mobbing skill that can stun as well

    Paladin is the one of the best fourth jobs, making the time grinding pay off in the end. Holy works amazing in the paladin training spots, and the paladin also has very high damage.


    PROS AND CONS:
    [pr0s]

    Pros-
    Low-ish Pot using
    Unique
    Imbues elements
    Fourth job DPS is higher than our hero counterparts
    Heaven's Hammer in fourth job makes really nice training

    Cons-
    Less incline to be picked into a party
    Second Job gets boring
    No new skills other than Slash Blast and Power Strike until level 70, and even then you have to wait until 120 to use an attacking skill that is spammable

    AP ALLOCATION: [ap0]
    http://www.hidden-street.net/forum/t...pping-DEX-long ←Use that to decide on the amount of dex you need, the rest should go into strength. Well that was easy.

    4TH JOB ADVANCEMENT:
    [4j0b]

    When you reach level 120, you'll be able to get new job advancement. This is the last one you'll ever need, and it's also the most powerful for any class. Here's what you need to know about each class' individual advancement:

    White Knights become Paladins (That’s you!), Dragon Knights become Dark Knights, and Crusaders become Heroes. Priests become Bishops, Mages become Arch Mages, Rangers become Bow Masters, and Snipers become Marksmen. Hermits become Night Lords, and Chief Bandits become Shadowers.

    In every case, in order to get the Maple Story 4th job, you need to talk to the NPC you spoke to in order to get the 3rd job advancement. Then you'll be told who to meet to get the 4th job. For Bowmen, the NPC is Legor. For Warriors, it's Harmonia. For Magicians, his name is Gritto, and for Thieves, it's Hellin. All 4th job advancement NPCs will ask you to get two items: a Heroic Star and a Heroic Pentagon. They're dropped by Griffey and Manon, but you can also get them by giving a Secret Letter of Spell scroll to Chief Tatamo in Leafre. You can buy said scroll in the 44th floor of Eos Tower from someone named Vega. It costs 10 million mesos.

    Take Heroic Star and Heroic Pentagon to your 4th job advancement NPC and he'll give you a new skill book. Talk to him again and he'll give you your new job. You'll be rewarded 3 skill points and 5 ability points as well. To get most of your 4th job skills, you have to do quests (More below).

    It's a (small) Wall of text. And it needs more colors. I'm going by the layout, I don't know a thing about pages. Add more colors, different sized text, more images, and you've got yourself a good layout.

    I personally like guides with less color, none of that lime green on white making you have a headache color.

    One thing with the elements. They only add 50% damage against weak mobs, not 2x (or 100%).
    Also, there isn't much of a point in upgrading Monster magnet, Rush past 28, or heros will (yet). MM has too short of a range to be worthwhile. Once rush is at 28, it maxes out in range. The extra 4% damage is too minor to be worth 2 SP. It's mainly used as a way to group mobs together and kill with Charged Blow, or finish off a Heavens Hammered mob.
    Heros Will only cures Seduce (VERY few mobs actually seduce. The only ones you'll run into are Lyka and Horntail. Lyka Seduce doesn't really matter. Horntail groups set up seduce "mules" in order of entrance. Generally, specially designed warriors (hp washed, usually 30k with HB) and Shadowers are Sed mules. If it gets to the point that everyone on the run is getting seduced and forced to use HW, it's a pretty fail run anyway.

    You also might want to mention the different variations of 4th job builds. I know of two distinct ones that some of my friends went. One maxed Blast right away because he killed Bigfoot as a main source of Exp. He had the spawn times for most chs and maps, so it was a very effective build for him. The other maxed Heavens Hammer and rush and used them in combination at ToT and Skeles.

    Otherwise, great guide setup so far.

    Yes i need to point something out, but i've been forgetting.

    3rd job and 4th job builds are "theoretical" as i've never been either. I do not know any training spots, so they may be wrong. This is from me looking at skills and assuming training spots.
    I would really like the input of a WK or Paladin here
    And the 1st/2nd job builds and final (Gonna add hybrid though)

    So is there any particular reason that Monster Magnet even has points into it? It's useless. :|

    Stance should definitely come before you even think about putting points into Magnet... same goes for Maple Warrior.

    Added. It was theoretical as i don't have a paladin

    I put "ultimate 4th job" in the pros, but with the balance patch will pallys still have less damage than heros? I hear they are on par with DrKs in 4th job atm...but still lowest in 3rd (depending on monster)

    when did i say 2x? Please quote for me

    What else would i put the points into? Heros will only has 1 just for...whatever....Monster Magnet was just extra SP (couldn't think of anything else worthwhile as a pure 2-H BW/Sword Page->WK->Pally, although i may switch around the build because there is a really good 1-h BW that is could be used end game, so i would put SP Into the blocking skill. I'll add this later) and Hero's will is only one...shouldn't that be OK?

    working on it, i know there are multiple builds including Heaven's Hammer+Rush=Killing enemies like crazy (whats ToT) and using the Blast technique as well.

    Temple of Time, a new area that is heaven for Pally because almost all of the monsters there have some form of elemetal weakness.
