MapleStory Classic World Dragon Knight build and leveling guide, Lv 70-120 (CoT2)
I am a Dragon Knight. Where do the points go and where do I train?
iWhat Dragon Knight build and leveling, Lv 70-120 is
The biggest crowd attack in the branch and the buff every party asks for. This page is the climb from 70 to 120: what to stand on in each band and which quests are worth the detour. The Dragon Knight page has the other half - every skill, the whole SP order with its levels worked out, and the gear behind it.
CoT2: From Closed Online Test 2 (Beta 2). Not in the Public Release; kept here as a record.Dragon Knight is a 3rd job, and the Public Release has no 3rd job. This guide is Closed Online Test 2’s: the class, its skills and the Ossyria maps it trains on are kept here as a record, each marked, and may look different when the job comes back.

Where the points go
: STR
STR is your damage on every warrior weapon, and DEX is both what lets you hold it and what makes it land. Do not treat DEX as spare: from level 20 up, every sword, axe and blunt weapon on the ladder below carries a DEX requirement alongside its STR one, reaching 65 by level 70. The accuracy formula is also kinder to a warrior’s DEX than to an archer’s, so the points you spend meeting the weapon are doing two jobs at once.
: the order, not the levels
- 1.Four monsters at 240% is your levelling attack from the moment you advance.
- 2.Three points, because Dragon Roar will not open without them.
- 3.Eight monsters at four times your normal reach. Every rank cuts the HP it costs, and the stun on you drops to three seconds at rank 10 and two at rank 21, so this is a skill that only gets good at the top.
- 4.Five points: Power Crash opens at three and Hyper Body at five.
The whole order, with the level each step lands at, is on the class page. It is kept in one place so the two cannot disagree.
What to watch
- Dragon Roar costs 900 HP a cast at max, and it stuns you for two seconds every time. The HP is what Hyper Body is for: +30% of your maximum is what makes a button that expensive affordable at all. The stun only gets shorter with rank - four seconds at rank 1, two from rank 21 - so this is a skill that is worst on the day you buy it.
- Dragon Blood is a switch rather than a timed buff: attack power up, HP draining until you switch it off. The three ranks this order buys give +32 attack power and cost 38 HP every three seconds, and it is rank 30 that turns that into +60 attack for 10 HP. So it is a real cost for as long as you leave it at three, which is why Hyper Body sits next to it in this order.
- Roar needs Dragon Blood at 3 before it opens at all, which catches people who planned around Roar and not around Blood.

Read off the item rows by the job each row names, so this list gains a type when the game does. Lower speed stages are faster; the attack speed page has what each stage means and what a Booster does to it.

The advancement
Closed Online Test 2 carried this class and every one of its skills, and the site models the advancement at level 70, after the level 30 one in Perion. No third-job advancement quest was in the test’s quest rows, and the Public Release has no third job at all, so nothing here tells you where to go for it.
