Warrior branch · 1st Job
Warrior
Pick this if: You want to stand in the middle of the fight and would rather learn one thing at a time.
Warrior, in short
recorded for this site, not from the exportthe exact formulas ›You stand in the middle of the monsters instead of away from them, and you survive that.
What it brings3
- Power Strike goes from 160% to 260% on one monster.
Slash Blast hits up to six monsters for 130% at max, which is what clears a platform instead of a monster.
Max HP Increase is +25% max HP that you keep for the rest of the character’s life, through every job after this one.
Watch out for3
- Six skills hold 105 ranks between them and the job earns 61 points.
- Iron Body is the one to leave out.
- Accuracy is the warrior’s real problem, not damage.
Where the points go
- STRmainSTR is your damage on every warrior weapon, and DEX is both what lets you hold it and what makes it land.
- DEXsecondNot spare points.
- never comes back, and what catches people is the requirement on the weapon rather than the damage: the Gear tab prices every rung.
Every Warrior skill
iHow to read a skill card
The line under each name is what the skill does at its last rank, read off the row. max N beside the name holds that against what a single point buys, which is the argument for spending the rest of them.
Anywhere on a card opens it, for every rank, its reach and what it rolls. Words like rank, mastery or booster are underlined wherever they are used and carry their own explanation.
61points earned, level 10–30105ranks the 6 skills hold44ranks you cannot afford
You cannot max everything, and nothing in the game says so. For an order to spend them in, take one somebody has played.
Warrior builds ›iHow the bill is worked out
One point at the advancement and three a level, until level 30 stops this pool filling. The ranks are every rank the 6 skills hold between them, which is why the two numbers are not the same one counted twice.
Choosing what to leave out is the whole of building this class. The builds page is where somebody else's choice is written down, with the levels they made it at.
Damage2iWhat "Damage" groups together
The tooltip states a damage or healing number. Mostly these are what you press to kill things; one or two are buffs that add damage rather than deal it, which is why the heading says damage and not attacks.

What the next rungs open
your level 30 fork, and what it commits you toLevel 30 · 2nd Job
FighterThe straight-damage arm of the warrior fork. Swords or axes, a party attack buff, and the skill that closes the gap for you.
PageThe warrior that makes monsters worse rather than making itself better. Swords or blunt weapons, and a debuff that lands on four at once.
SpearmanReach, for a melee class. Spears and polearms hit further than a sword, and Iron Will stops the knockback that interrupts them.Level 70 · 3rd JobCoT2: From Closed Online Test 2 (Beta 2). Not in the Public Release; kept here as a record.
The Public Release has no 3rd job. These are Closed Online Test 2’s, kept so their pages and the builds saved for them still work.
Crusaderfrom FighterA combo counter that makes everything else hit harder, and two attacks built on top of it: one for a crowd, one for a boss.
Dragon Knightfrom SpearmanThe biggest crowd attack in the branch and the buff every party asks for.
White Knightfrom PageOne attack and three elements to put on it. Whatever a monster is weak to, a White Knight can be holding it.Becoming a Warrior

Reach level 10.
There is no quest to accept and nothing to prepare. Every branch opens at the same level, and until you get there the advisor has nothing to say to you.
The level is not a column on anything - it is in the game's own words. Rain's fifth Maple Island quiz says warriors, thieves, bowmen and magicians "all need to be at least level 10 to advance".

Go to Perion and talk to Dances with Balrog.
They stand in Warriors' Sanctuary, a short walk from Perion itself. Say yes when they ask, and you are a Warrior.
Talk to Dances with BalrogThe advancement is not a quest in this export, so there is no quest page for it. What the export does carry is where this NPC stands, which is the map beside this step, and the level 30 chain the same person runs later, on the 2nd job pages.
You have twenty levels as a Warrior before the next decision. The first tab is what to do with them: the points, the order and every skill they buy.

Ranked by what each map’s own spawn table can produce - spawn points times EXP over the respawn timer, counting only monsters inside the band. It is a ceiling nobody reaches and the right way to compare one map with another. The full levelling guide has every band, every column and the working.
What to wear
the full item browser ›The weapon ladderiHow the ladder was built
Every weapon the class can hold, with everything that is not an upgrade removed: a rung is a weapon that beats anything you could already be carrying at its level, so “gain” is what it adds over the rung above it. Sidegrades and later weaker weapons are left out and the item browser still has them. The ladder starts from level 1 on purpose - the rungs below your level are the ones you arrived holding.

Best armour for STR, by slotiHow these were picked
The highest STR in each slot a Warrior can wear, then attack, then defence.
Nothing is left out for being low level, because armour does not stop being wearable: the best piece in several of these slots wants half the level of the worst, and the level on each row is when you can put it on.
Where the best piece a male character can wear and the best a female character can wear are two different items, each is listed with its own level and stat.
