Although as a warrior you’ll have the lowest magic levels of every class in
the game and you’ll be very one dimensional, you’ll also be spending a lot
of mesos on potions as you’ll need a lot of them while leveling if you want
to keep the rest time down.
When you first start your character every time you level you will receive 5
ability points to add stats. You want to know how to use these ability points
from the very start to make sure your Warrior is at his full power. When you
The main stat for a Warrior is STR and DEX, you always want to make sure
your DEX is 2 times the amount of your level and the rest of your points
should be going into STR.
So if you are level 10 your DEX should be 20, if you are level 30 your DEX
should be 60, get the point? So while doing this always make sure you are
putting the rest of your points into STR, for DEX and STR should be the
only two stats that you are putting points into. For it is very important for a
Warriors to have very high STR for this will determine your HP and your
hitting power.
Advancing to a Thief
Once you are level 10 its time to become a warrior. Head over to Perry and
ask Shanks to leave Maple Island. You will then be teleported to Lith
Harbor and never be able to return to Maple Island again. Once you are in
Lith Harbor find the Ticket Booth which is not far from the boat , and buy a
ticket to Perion. Once in Perion find the Shrine of Warriors, it is toward the
top of the mountain map screen. You will then talk to Dances with Balrog
and he will make you a Warrior.
Warrior’s Skills
Thief Builds
As a warrior you’ll have a choice of many different ways to spec your
character. How you do it is completely up to you and how you like to play.
Below we discuss the three best builds and it’s up to you to decide which is
the best one for yourself.
Standard Build
This build is a standard build that is typically the most common among all
warriors. It is a balanced build that will give you the most HP and defense
while still keeping your attack power up.
The attack build is similar to the Standard build but has less defense of
skills and goes to more of the offensive side of the skill. At higher levels you
will concentrate your efforts on maxing out both Power Strike and Slash
Blast. This will make be the most efficient build to maximize your damage
output as a warrior.
Defense Build
This build is aimed towards heavy armor and defensive bonuses. You will
want to max out Iron Body to boost your overall defensive position.

Warrior Training
(Levels 10 – 30)
Now that you have an idea of how you will spec your Warrior, it is now time
to actually go out and start leveling. The key is finding areas that do not
have a lot of competition with other players, and that you are able to kill the
monster in 2 – 3 hits. Anything thing higher than that is to powerful and
anything lower then that will not give you enough EXP. You also want to
find a place where the monsters have a fast respawn rate so there will be
as little down time as possible. As you level and explore zones you will get
the feel for which areas are good for your level and give good EXP.
Levels 10 - 15
Monster
Red Snail
Slime
Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon
Start off killing snails for quick EXP, the first zone to the east of Hersheys is a great
place to fight. Each level has a higher monster that you can kill as you level to 15
Levels 15 - 20
Monster
Pig Orange Mushroom
Location Field, Forest Field, Forest, Dungeon
Once you hit 15 you should start killing Pigs and Mushrooms, they can be found in
almost zone outside of a major city. Try to find somewhere that is not crowded.

are ready to advance to your second job. When you accept his offer he will
then give you a letter to take to his instructor. You will want to make sure
you have enough potions before you continue onward to pass the test for
you will need them.
To find the instructor go the west Rocky Mountains and find the warp that is
just west of Perion, continue on westward and go into another warp. You
will then be in an area with lower level creatures, just run past them. Head
to the top of the mountain and enter the warp that has a danger sign next to
it. You will then need to head to the top and enter in another warp and
continue to do so until you come to an area with Boars and Lupin, head to
the top of this area and talk to the instructor.
He will then take you to the Advancement area where you will need to fight
until you get 30 Dark Marbles. To obtain the Dark Marbles simply keep
killing Fire Boars. Try to stay away from the Lupins for they are a lot harder
to kill and have the same drop rate as the Fire Boars.
Once you have collected your 30 Dark Marbles head back to the instructor
and he will reward you with the Proof of a Hero. Return to Dances with
Balrog in Perion and he will give you a the choice to advance to one of the
three Job Advancements. He will also give you a level 2 Skill book, Extra
HP, Extra MP and a skill booster that will help improve your accuracy.
Pages get Threaten, a skill that lowers the enemies' weapon defense and
weapon attack by 20; this is mostly used to lower damage dealt to you.
Pages also get Power Guard, reducing touch damage by 40% and deals it
back to the monster. This is one of the main reason why Pages/WKs are
considered soloers is because this reduces pot costs immensely. Of
course, constant KB and Ice Charge helps also to the soloing factor.
Spearmen get Hyper Body, which boosts your max HP/MP and that of your
party by 60% when maxed. This skill is particularly useful for helping
partied Thieves, Archers, and Mages to survive more hits from enemies
and/or PQ bosses. They also get Iron Will which gives +20 wep def and
+20 mag def for 300 sec. It is basically a nerfed Bless with 100 seconds
more duration but gives no accuracy or avoidability bonus. Even with this
skill maxed, it isn't even close to being in the same league as Power Guard
and is why Spearman/DKs are not considered a soloing class.
The other difference is weapon options. Fighters and Pages can both
choose between unstable weapons with high max damage, stable weapons
with higher min damage, fast weapons, slow weapons, long reach, short
reach, etc. Spearmen get weapons with the highest maximum damage, but
lowest minimum damage, and with the longest reach but (with a few
exceptions) the slowest attack speed.
