MapleStory/Pirate



Note: Released in KoreanMS only

The path of the Pirate is probably one of the most popular in MapleStory. At their second job, Pirates have two options: Gunslinger or Infighter. Gunslingers are faster, but they also deal less damage than ???. The third job is forced, depending on what has been already chosen: Valkyrie from Gunslinger and Buccaneer from Infighter. For the 4th job, Pirates have the choice of becoming either a Captain or a Viper.


 * Pros:
 * Very fast attackers, nearly as the Rogues.
 * Interesting abilities, as well as one AoE ability at first job.
 * Literally, the Gunslinger flies.
 * In the Infighter job, the user has physical AoE abilities.


 * Cons:
 * Gunslingers do low damage.
 * A little bit difficult to get used to.
 * The Float ability is not so useful if trying to get out.
 * The pirate equipment is a little bit expensive for a beginner.

Beginners
Being new to Maple means that you will need some guidance. In this case, you will raise a future Pirate, meaning that you will need correct stats. As you will see further, the most necessary attributes for this job would be the STR and DEX, INT and LUK can be left at 4 or 5.

Note: If you want to build a Gunslinger, it is to consider getting the highest DEX when building this char. Meanwhile, if you try to build an Infighter is up to you to get the most STR at it's creation.

Maple Island
Being a future Gunslinger will mean you a great accuracy if talking about the attack, as well as a moderated chance to avoid the monsters' attacks. So it is to consider to train with stumps, and slow creatures like snails of the three colors. If you are becoming an Infighter, you may train with stronger creatures like pigs, or mushrooms... consider to train first with slower creatures.

First Job: Pirate
1st job To become a pirate, you have to make a build similar to a bowman or warrior. Rolling dices in beginning should look like: (Also, if you want to become a strengthless gunslinger you should get 13 dex and 4 in everything else)
 * Strength: Doesn't matter
 * Dexterity: Doesn't matter
 * Intelligence: 4 (preferably)
 * Luck: 4 (preferably)

To get the Job advancement, you'll be going to a new town called Nautilus Port (To reach this place you go through a portal in Victorian Island: Forest East of Henesys)

To make the Job Advancement, these are the requirements:
 * At least 20 dex and level 10
 * Then talk to Kairin, who will be like all the other 1st Job tutors.
 * She'll give you 1 skill point for you to use.

Now this is where you make your choice, a sharp shooter, or a brass knuckle.
