==AP and Equipment==
==AP and Equipment==
DEX has a limited role in determining accuracy, but level has a far greater effect.  For this reason, little to no AP should be spent in DEX, depending on funding.  Most equipment doesn't have a DEX requirement either, the only exception being the Stonetooth/Ribgol Sword.  Warriors should apply 3 strength and 2 dexterity until they have reached their dexterity 'cap', meaning whatever amount of dexterity they feel is enough.  Once you have reached your dexterity cap, you apply all points into strength.
DEX has a limited role in determining accuracy, but level has a far greater effect.  Most equipment doesn't have a DEX requirement either, the only exception being the Stonetooth/Ribgol Sword.  Warriors should apply ALL AP on STR and NO DEX unless you are sure you need it, and then keep it to a minimum.  Never put any AP on INT or LUK.


Most characters with no starting funds will stop adding dexterity when they reach 40-60 dexterity. Depending on starting funds, characters may choose to not add dexterity at all.
==SP==
===Beginner===
Considering Recovery only heals about 2HP/second when fully leveled, most people will not select this.

===First Job (Level 10 to 30)===
To max all skills, it would require 70 SP, but you are given only 61 SP to spend.  You will need to choose which skill not to max.  Generally, Iron Body becomes less useful at higher levels, so it is usually not maxed.  You must also decide which active skill to max first, Slash Blast or Power Strike.  This is dependent on where you train.  If it's easy to hit many enemies together, go with Slash Blast; otherwise, take them on one by one with Power Strike.  In the end, both attack skills should be maxed, as you will be using them until level 70 at least.

Slash Blast can hit 6, so it's maxed first.  Iron Body is helpful all the way to level 200, but Power Strike and Slash Blast are both replaced with 1 SP on 2nd job Ground Smash, so don't max both unless you are making a Spearman as they will get Iron Will which will replace Iron Body.

Line 221: Line 258:
This build is not recommended for those just starting the game. That said, it is a viable build for advanced players with money to burn and plenty of spare time. The general premise is to add all AP into HP and get a huge bonus from the HP Increase skill.  The advantages of this are that you can go to areas with extremely tough monsters, and not be killed thanks to how long it takes them to kill you. This is probably the build that will let you kill powerful monsters the soonest; however it is not cheap to do, nor easy. It is just possible earlier.  So you want to do this? There are some things you need to have. First, you need lots of money. Without money, training is incredibly slow, and even once you've got it to a higher level, you won't be able to afford pots. Second, if you want to get any use out of the character, you need at least one friend who is a Cleric. They will probably be more than happy to help heal you, since they get exp based on how much they heal, and you will have a lot of HP to heal. Third, if you want to do this quickly, you will need someone who can enter a party with you and train you.

Once you have these, you are ready to begin. The ideal stat build is as follows: 35 STR, and 4 for every other stat.  On each level up, put all your AP in HP. Apart from HP Increase, the SP usage is not very important since most of the 1st job skills are pretty much useless. If you want to try fighting for yourself, you will be weak, but you can get the damage increase skills first.

The Exchange Quest remains a reasonable way to gain experience early on, or you can do party quests, which is a much better way to get experience. At level 20, it costs approximately 100,000 mesos to level up using the [[MapleStory/Quests/Exchange Quest|Exchange Quest]] if you trade Solid Horns, which can generally be purchased for 50 mesos. So if you're poor, this may not be the best thing any more. The reason for the variance in price is that the prizes you get have different values - some are worth almost as much as the money the items cost, some are worth less than half. As for the Party Quest, you won't do any killing, but if you can find a willing party then go for it!

Level 30 is the next interesting point. You've got here in whatever way, probably costing vast amounts of mesos, or taking a ridiculously long time, but you've done it. Now, all that's left before you and your ultimate success is the 2nd job advance test.  You will need accuracy and damage enhancing items to complete this.

You will need 40 accuracy to hit the fire boars and lupins, 80% of the times, that's not so bad. But you will have to get some really good DEX and accuracy bonus. Equips such as Pig's Illustrated, Brown Bandana, Accuracy work gloves, and sniper pills will work fine. With all these, you should be able to hit the monsters most of the times, just bring some warrior elixirs (from NLC) to increase your dmg (it may still be painfully low, probably around 100 per power strike). The advancement will probably take you at least an hour, but it is completable.
You will be able to hit the boars approximately 90% of the times, that's not so bad as they are a few levels higher than you. Just bring some warrior elixirs (from NLC) to increase your dmg (it may still be painfully low, probably around 300  per power strike). The advancement will probably take you several minutes, but it is completable.


Once you have done that, Congratulations! You will now be getting the most useful skill to you: Power Guard.  Power Guard is available to both Fighters and Pages, but Fighters are generally considered the better choice thanks to gaining several hundred HP when they choose their 2nd Job. Either way, Power Guard does the same thing - returns some of the damage monsters deal to you by running into you (bump damage) to the monsters. The reason it is so nice is because of how it works - it returns a percentage of the total damage done to you. Thus, the stronger the monster's attack, the more damage it will do to itself if you run into it. This damage ignores accuracy, so if the monster hits you, you hit it back, unless it hits you for 1 damage. In that case, you would not be doing any damage at all, so it records a "MISS".  As you can see, with a massive amount of HP, this means you can take on some of the strongest monsters in the game, and as long as you have a Cleric along or a bunch of pots, there's no risk of you even dying. Heck, if you feel bold, party a Cleric and go kill Crimson Balrog. You won't die if the cleric doesn't.

When you reach 120, go to El Nath and talk to Tylus the 3rd job instructor.  Get a letter of recommendation.  Then, go to Leafre, Valley of the Antelope and talk to Harmonia the 4th Job Instructor. Bring back a Heroic Star and Heroic Pentagon.  You can get them by killing Griffey & Manon, (Note: it may not drop on the first kill) or you can go to Eos Tower and talk to Vega on the 66th floor to buy a scroll for 10,000,000 and bring it to Chief Tatamo to trade for the star and pentagon.
When you reach 120, go to Leafre, Forest of the Priest (Hidden Portal at Valley of the Antelope) and talk to Harmonia the 4th Job Instructor. Bring back a Heroic Star and Heroic Pentagon, obtained by killing Manon & Griffey.
 
Post Ascension, this quest changed.  You don't go to El Nath anymore, and you can no longer buy the star and pentagon for 10,000,000.  Also, you can't bring a party to help you.  This is a solo quest.  Manon & Griffey are in the same location as normal, but it's a special map that you, and only you, can get into when you have the quest.  They will always be there, and their HP will reset every time you die and start over.


A level by level build is not realistic as there is no way to predict when you will find, or be able to buy, the required mastery books, but here are some tips to get you started.  The Maple Warrior skill book will be given when you finish the job advancement.  Advanced Combo requires the Advanced Combo skill book which drops from Zakum, and you need 6 SP on it to get the first pink orb.  Most people will agree Advanced Combo is the most important skill to max first, but since you probably won't have the book... Level 30 Brandish hits 3, twice at 240% (480%) and Level 1 Intrepid Slash hits 3, three times at 152% (456%) which is a little less, but it has better range and it cost less to use (it's damage is finally equal at level 5).

If you don't have Advanced Combo yet, Combat Mastery is a good choice as it is only 10 SP to max and will improve your other attacks like Soul Driver.  Max Advanced Combo or Intrepid Slash next depending on if you are able to get the skill book.

Most people say Fury is more important for 3rd job training because its fast and hits 6.  This can be useful at large mobs such as Roids, but you will probably use Soul Driver instead.  Another thing to consider is Fury only hits once per attk.  Buster hits 3 times per attk, so when training at higher level mobs, it will miss less and hit more criticals which can make training faster, as well as give more power earlier.

Dragon Buster is still somewhat useful in 4th job early on, but Dragon Fury is completely replaced with 1 SP on Dark Impale, so it does not need to be maxed.  You could max Dragon Fury and leave Elemental Resistance at 11, but why?  Post Ascension, max Dragon Fury and leaving Elemental Resistance at 11 is no longer preferred.

When you reach 120, go to El Nath and talk to Tylus the 3rd job instructor.  Get a letter of recommendation.  Then, go to Leafre, Valley of the Antelope and talk to Harmonia the 4th Job Instructor. Bring back a Heroic Star and Heroic Pentagon.  You can get them by killing Griffey & Manon, (Note: it may not drop on the first kill) or you can go to Eos Tower and talk to Vega on the 66th floor to buy a scroll for 10,000,000 and bring it to Chief Tatamo to trade for the star and pentagon.
When you reach 120, go to Leafre, Forest of the Priest (Hidden Portal at Valley of the Antelope) and talk to Harmonia the 4th Job Instructor. Bring back a Heroic Star and Heroic Pentagon, obtained by killing Manon & Griffey.
 
Post Ascension, this quest changed.  You don't go to El Nath anymore, and you can no longer buy the star and pentagon for 10,000,000.  Also, you can't bring a party to help you.  This is a solo quest.  Manon & Griffey are in the same location as normal, but it's a special map that you, and only you, can get into when you have the quest.  They will always be there, and their HP will reset every time you die and start over.
