MapleStory/Warrior Guide Alternate

=Sword Fighter Guide=

Introduction
This guide is written exclusively for Warriors becoming Sword Fighters. It has a more stable damage range due to higher minimium damage and no regard for slash or pierce animation, with decent attack speed and reach. Thus it has a better overall characteristics which is the main advantage it has over other weapons.

This guide is for allowing time and cost effective leveling of a Fighter. What follows will be all tested and proven to be for a Lvl.10 Warrior to a Lvl.120 Crusader. Thus, there will only be a single Skill Path and few training spots mention in this humble guide; all other lesser alternatives are ruled out.

At Lvl.30, my Warrior has a base DEX of 50, with rest into STR.

At Lvl.55, my Warrior has a base DEX of 55, with rest into STR.

At Lvl.70, my Warrior has a base DEX of 100, with rest into STR.

This is to allow me to pass the 3rd Job Quest with ease and allows me to deal with more interesting monsters.

My equipment, all average stats, at Lvl.55 are Great Brown Helmet, Dark Shouldermail, Dark Shouldermail Pants, Dark Briggon +5 (+5 Accuarcy), Dark Trigger +5 (+5 Jump), Black Napeleon, Heart Earrings, Lion Heart +7 (WAtk 62) As of then, I had saved 50+ Million meso in my bank from this character alone.

=Training Spots=


 * LEVEL 1-10 (0.5-2 hrs/lvl)
 * Being Warrior, its a breeze in Maple Island. Lvl 5 onwards, all monsters are possible; just be cautious against Orange Mushroom.

Maple Island
 * Snail Hunting Ground I-II [Snail, Blue Snail] [1-5]
 * Split Road [Blue Snail, Red Snail, Shroom] [1-10]
 * Dangerous Forest [Orange Mushroom] [9-10] *Lots of Orange Mushroom


 * LEVEL 10-18 (1-3 hrs/lvl)
 * Slime will be the ideal choice till Lvl 15. After that, Orange Mushroom are recommanded till lv 18.


 * Note: For Lvl 10-35, Spears/Polearms are recommended due to higher damage and longer reach.

Victoria Island
 * The Tree that Grew I [Slime] [10-15]
 * Henesys Hunting Ground I [Blue Snail, Slime] [10-15]
 * Henesys Hunting Ground I [Red Snail, Orange Mushroom] [15-21]


 * LEVEL 18-30 (3-8 hrs/lvl)
 * Its starting to get tedious and boring. Due to lack of Weapon Mastery, damage are unstable. Due to low INT and Max MP, skills are rather limited and costly. Thus, its advisable to endure till Lvl 25 and use only normal attacks, saving MP for Slash Blast only when necessary.
 * Pig Beach is recommended if one has the meso for potions, else one can always rely back on Orange Mushroom. With Power Strike (MAX), one can go Tree Dungeon and 1-hit KO Green/Horned Mushroom. Bubbling are also viable.

Victoria Island
 * Party Quest [21-31] *Kerning City
 * Pig Beach [Pig, Ribbon Pig] [18-25] *Beware of the lone Iron Hog
 * Henesys Hunting Ground I [Green Mushroom] [20-25]
 * Subway Line 1 Area 1 [Bubbling] [25-31]
 * Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North II [Green and Horned Mushroom] [25-31]


 * LEVEL 30-40 (6-9 hrs/lvl)
 * Wild Boar is highly recommended if capable of 1-hit KO; average damage of 550 and above using Power Strike (MAX). Evil Eye are good when enough of them are caught in a Slash Blast.

Victoria Island
 * The Land of Wild Boar II [Wild Boar] [30-40]
 * Evil Eye Cave I [Evil Eye] [35-40] *Beware of Jr. Boogie


 * LEVEL 40-50 (7-10 hrs/lvl)
 * Jr. Cellion/Lioner/Grupin will be the fastest ticket to pass this stage. For some who prefer to stay at Victoria Island, it will primarily be Fire Boar. Nonetheless, Dangerous Valley I is the preferred training ground for Lvl 45+. Copper Drake drop 'Dark Scorpio' and 'Black Crystal Ore'.

Victoria Island
 * The Burnt Land I-V [Fire Boar] [40-50]
 * Dangerous Valley I [Fire Boar, Copper Drake] [45-55]

Ossyria
 * The Road to Garden of 3 Colors [Jr. Cellion/Lioner/Grupin] [40-50]
 * Garden of Red [Jr. Cellion] [40-50]
 * Garden of Yellow [Jr. Lioner] [40-50]
 * Garden of Green [Jr.Grupin] [40-50]


 * LEVEL 50-60 (9-10+ hrs/lvl)
 * At Lvl 50, Iron Hog are recommanded if one can KO with no more than 3-hits. Their spawn rates are ideal and they deal low damage; ideal for meso saving. Wraith are excellant choices as long as it does not take no more than 2-hits to KO them. Their map are straightforward and little climbing is needed.

Victoria Island
 * Pig Park [Iron Hog] [50-55]
 * Subway Line 1 Area 4 [Wraith] [55-61]


 * Note: Partying with Cleric or Assassin speed things up.


 * LEVEL 60-70 (10-16+ hrs/lvl)
 * Jr. Yeti is ideal for those with the Accuracy to hit them. Hector, like Jr. Yeti, are excellant choice for the Lvl 65+. Drake's Meal Table has a greater variety of monsters and drops.

Victoria Island
 * Drake's Meal Table [Cold Eye, Drake, Wild Cargo] [60-70]

Ossyria
 * Watch out for Icy Path I-II [Jr. Yeti] [60-65]

??? [Hector] [60-70]


 * LEVEL 70-80 (15-20+ hrs/lvl)
 * One can continue at ??? or choose to travel to El Nath. Coolie Zombies are an excellant choice during this period due to the map layout and the spawn rates. Do take note of the varities of attacks they possess, esp. poison. KS is commonplace at these maps among ALL classes

Ossyria
 * Forest of Dead Trees I-IV [Coolie Zombie] [70-80]
