Welcome to the Knights of Cygnus Blaze Wizard guide. I will tell you all about this new MapleStory Job!

Introduction

With the massive strength and powerful physique, Dawn Warriors vanquish the enemy in close proximity. They are accompanied by Sol, the spirit of light, especially in combat. Only those equipped with a burning hear, sharp eyes, an even sharper blade, and undying loyalty to the empress are qualified to become a Dawn Warrior.

AP Build

The AP Build is very easy. For each level up, it's +5 Str and 1 Dex. I capped my dex at 60. Basicaly this is the formula: 2*lvl example (lvl 20 = 40 dex). So at lvl 30 you have like 60 dex and you can put all your AP in Str.

Training Places

• Lvl 10 - 13: Do Kiku's training quests. These quests are very good.
• Lvl 13 - 20: Do the Ereb quests. You can also do HPQ.
• Lvl 21 - 30: Kerning Party Quest.

Tips

1. When training in Sleepywood or doing Ereb Mob Quests, DO NOT, let me repeat that, DO NOT, Make a party. This is a helpful way to train because even though you gain experience points from your party members, they will not gain experience as fast as you do. For all you know, they could be leeching off you. The reason for not getting a party for Ereb Mob Quests, such as defeating 100 Pigs and getting the pig doll is because to get to the next Ereb Quest you need to gain a level and you gain more experience by battling the monsters yourself. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
2. Back so soon? The easiest way to waste your money is to take the cab. I know its hard to remember to go to the potion shop and buy maps. But, Cygnus Knights travel all over the place and you can save your money to buy potions. And think about this. Even if your funded, you want to stay funded. :)
3. Train more. Once you become level 30, don't stop training. Just train till 40% then leave to get job advancement. This will help alot if it is some special more exp event. If you manage to get to 40% and the event still is going, train till 70%.
