MapleStory/Aran/Builds

AP Distribution
Unlike Adventurers, Aran is a straightforward job that has no class tree. Therefore, you don't need to plan your stats in advance (like a Beginner might).

Note: Below you will see the SP allocation guide for an Aran, but remember that you have to finish all previous skill quests in order to get the next one. Do all of them in the right order or else you will be in problem with your skills.

Regular
Aran are very similar to warriors. You should have at least 1.5~ 2.0 times more DEX than your level, so if you are at level 25 you should have 40~50 DEX. Add everything else to STR.

Note: Since the Aran quests are required to kill monsters that are similar to your level, or higher, the accuracy gained from DEX helps Aran complete advancement quests (skill and job) more quickly.

Aran don't need INT or LUK. Most of their AP goes into STR and DEX. If you apply your stats correctly, there should be little problem killing monsters.

Dexless Aran
Dexless Arans are a real challenge, and requires lots of money. A dexless Aran means to put all their APs into STR, and never, or put very little DEX.

Since Aran cannot possibly attack strong monsters without DEX, instead of not putting your SP into DEX, you will need scrolls that add DEX. Possibly for all your equipment, and max them out if possible. Now this requires a lot of luck, since scrolls can fail and maybe break your equipment. And there's a difference between a 100% DEX scroll working at all times and a 10% DEX scroll working at all times, since a 10% scroll will have more benefits if it works.

If this is done successfully, a Dexless Aran will deal much more damage compared to a regular one.

First Job Skill Build
Unlike other jobs, most Aran skills require you to press certain keys to attack. This is the main Aran SP build.

Once you advanced to Aran, you will not have all the skills available. You will need to complete quests to obtain the Combo Ability and Polearm Booster skill.

Third Job Skill Build
When you advanced to Aran at level 30, there are luckily not a lot of skills quests available. In fact, there is only one skill missing upon advancement, which is Full Swing. Obtaining this skill is so easy that when you complete your advancement, you will need to see Nineheart who will give you Full Swing!
