From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

Availability: KMS, Coming to GMS in March

Below you will see the Ability Point and Skill Point allocation guides for the Evan class. Evan is a new class, currently only available in Korean version of MapleStory.

Evan is related to the magician, it uses staves and wands as its primary weapon. Evan's hometown is a farm, he starts a house. Through special quests, you can acquire a Dragon Egg.

The Dragon Egg hatches to a baby dragon called Mir upon 1st Job Advancement. The unique part is that the dragon will be your main 'weapon'. All attacks go through the dragon.

This class does not get the traditional Job Advancements. The Dragon has 10 'masters' (Job Advancement), which means your Dragon can grow up to ten times.

When Evans achieve a certain level, their Dragon evolves and turns bigger and stronger:

1st Master : Requires you to be level 10
2nd Master : Requires you to be level 20
3rd Master : Requires you to be level 30
4th Master : Requires you to be level 40
5th Master : Requires you to be level 50
6th Master : Requires you to be level 60
7th Master : Requires you to be level 80
8th Master : Requires you to be level 100
9th Master : Requires you to be level 120
10th Master : Requires you to be level 160

[edit] Story

Another story of a baby dragon who has been waiting for a hero. Once there was a normal boy that lived near the village of Henesys. He discovers a dragon egg that he saw in his dream. And so, the story of the Dragon Master unfolds. In the beginning, Evan and the baby dragon knew nothing. But with the growth of the baby dragon, Evan’s strength continues to increase endlessly.

[edit] AP Distribution

Since Evan is family of the Magician, they use INT and LUK. INT is most valuable to Evans.

[edit] Unique gameplay

Evan has a unique element that no other class has; A dragon that attacks for you. The dragon is not a summon. After your Evan advances to level 10 and completes the First Job Advancement, a baby dragon awakens from a Dragon Egg.

The Dragon can grow up to ten times at certain levels. All attacks will be executed through your dragon.

This means that you don't need to do Job Advancements, as your Dragon will evolve automatically upon the designated level.
