== Welcome to my Evan Guide ==
Welcome, fellow Mapler! If you are viewing this guide, you are most likely planning to make an Evan or you already did and just need help with some builds. Whatever the case is, I am happy to help Maplers in need of training spots, builds, and much more! I hope this guide helps you alot!

One day, while chasing a piglet through the woods, a farmboy named Evan falls into a hole, into a foggy forest. He finds an egg and brings it back to the farm. His brother, Utah, provides Evan with an incubator, which helped Evan hatch Mir. This is the beginning of Evan's job as a Dragon Master.

== AP Build ==
== AP Build ==
'''Build 1:'''
'''Regular LUK:'''
LUK +3 your lvl, and rest to INT (don't put +3 LUK each level, just make sure LUK is +3 your level)
LUK is +3 your lvl, and rest to INT


Example: There is a lvl 21 Evan named Bob2010. His LUK should be 24 and INT as high as possible.
Example: There is a lvl 21 Evan named Bob2010. His LUK should be 24 and INT as high as possible.


'''Build 2:'''
'''LUKless:'''
Nothing to LUK, put everything into INT
Nothing to LUK, put everything into INT


Example: There is a lvl 30 Evan named Ohoholo. His LUK should be 33 and INT as high as possible.
Example: There is a lvl 30 Evan named Ohoholo. His LUK should be 33 and INT as high as possible.


''Note'': Yes, it looks similar to Build 1, but... You scroll your armor/weapon, which gives you the LUK you need.
''Note'': ''It looks similar, but your base LUK will be the LUK you get when you achieve lvl 10. Most people recommend scrolling their equipment for LUK via LUK Scrolls, which can be expensive. If you choose not to scroll your equips, then your base LUK will be the LUK you had when you made the job advancement.''


== Normal LUK and LUKless Comparism ==
'''''Normal Luk'''''


== Normal LUK and LUKless Comparism ==
'''Pros:'''
'''Normal Luk'''


'''Pros''':
* Has the ability to wear equips freely
* Has the ability to wear equips freely
* Does not need to buy LUK scrolls
* LUK gives a bit of accuracy
* LUK gives a bit of accuracy
* Most common Magician AP build
* Recommended for new players
'''Cons:'''


Cons:
* LOW damage
* LOW damage
* Has to take trips to Ludibrium, Ellinia, or anywhere you can get Magician armor
* Equips are expensive starting with the lvl 33 equipment
'''''LUKless'''''


'''LUKless'''
'''Pros:'''


'''Pros''':
* High damage
* High damage
* Does not need to go to Equip stores to buy equips
* Does not need to waste time going into equip stores to buy stuff
* Cheaper in a way, because they do not need to buy equips
* Cheaper in a way, because they do not need to buy equips


'''Cons''':
'''Cons:'''
 
* Bad accuracy (if you don't scroll your equips for LUK)
* Bad accuracy (if you don't scroll your equips for LUK)
* Has to stick with one equip from lvl 10 - 200 (usually)
* Not recommended (I checked out a Evan damage range thread on Basilmarket, and it seems normal LUK is stronger than LUKless, surprisingly)
* Needs to scroll equips for LUK, which can be costly
Hopefully this will help you decide if you are gonna be Normal LUK or LUKless


Note: There is also a build called Low LUK which I didn't mention in this guide. I plan to add it in future versions. (when I add it, this note will be taken down)
Hopefully this will help you decide if you are gonna be Normal LUK or LUKless.

''Why max Magic Missle first?'' It's the most recommended, because it gives you more attack at your noob levels. If you are unfunded, then put 1 in Magic Missle, then max Dragon Soul, then max Magic Missle.

Max Elemental Reset
Max Elemental Reset


'''Build 2''':


Note from the maker of the guide: Yes, it is true that ER gets stronger as you lvl it, but, ice breath is more reccomended because it can freeze enemies. You put 1 on ER for a little bit of neutral damage. But if you want, you can do this:
Max Elemental Reset


Put 1 on Ice Breath

Here's a question, do you want to be able to freeze enemies and attack them while they're frozen, or use stronger attacks on resistent monsters? If you choose freeze enemies and attack, then the one I originially chose is the one for you.

The guide on this page was created for an older and outdated version of Maplestory and is now inaccurate to the current gameplay and no longer deemed useful. Please do not edit or delete this article.

Welcome to my Evan Guide

Welcome, fellow Mapler! If you are viewing this guide, you are most likely planning to make an Evan or you already did and just need help with some builds. Whatever the case is, I am happy to help Maplers in need of training spots, builds, and much more! I hope this guide helps you alot!

Evan

One day, while chasing a piglet through the woods, a farmboy named Evan falls into a hole and into a foggy forest. He finds an egg and brings it back to the farm. His brother, Utah, provides Evan with an incubator, which helped Evan hatch Mir. This is the beginning of Evan's job as a Dragon Master.


Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Gets a mob skill at level 20
  • Gets new skills about every 10/20/40 levels
  • Has a combination of normal, ice, fire, lightning, darkness, and holy
  • Can do critical damage
  • Gets early Teleport
  • At later levels gets a reviving skill
  • Ice Breath and Fire Breath can freeze and stun

Cons:

  • Consumes lots of HP very fast due to low HP
  • Does not get healing skills like a Cleric
  • Doesn't have Max MP increase, MP Recovery, nor MP Eater
  • Slow attacks
  • Needs mastery books to max out VERY important skills
  • Dark Fog is not spammable
  • Ice Breath and Fire Breath requires you to charge it to deal decent damage


AP Build

Regular LUK: LUK is +3 your lvl, and rest to INT

Example: There is a lvl 21 Evan named Bob2010. His LUK should be 24 and INT as high as possible.

LUKless: Nothing to LUK, put everything into INT

Example: There is a lvl 30 Evan named Ohoholo. His LUK should be 33 and INT as high as possible.

Note: It looks similar, but your base LUK will be the LUK you get when you achieve lvl 10. Most people recommend scrolling their equipment for LUK via LUK Scrolls, which can be expensive. If you choose not to scroll your equips, then your base LUK will be the LUK you had when you made the job advancement.

Normal LUK and LUKless Comparism

Normal Luk

Pros:

  • Has the ability to wear equips freely
  • LUK gives a bit of accuracy
  • Most common Magician AP build
  • Recommended for new players

Cons:

  • LOW damage
  • Has to take trips to Ludibrium, Ellinia, or anywhere you can get Magician armor
  • Equips are expensive starting with the lvl 33 equipment

LUKless

Pros:

  • High damage
  • Does not need to waste time going into equip stores to buy stuff
  • Cheaper in a way, because they do not need to buy equips

Cons:

  • Bad accuracy (if you don't scroll your equips for LUK)
  • Not recommended (I checked out a Evan damage range thread on Basilmarket, and it seems normal LUK is stronger than LUKless, surprisingly)

Hopefully this will help you decide if you are gonna be Normal LUK or LUKless.

Note: If I were to recommend an AP Build, I would recommend you to be a Regular LUK.

Beginner

Welcome, to MapleStory. You will start out in a foggy forest. Do all the quests and you should reach lvl 10 quickly.

Max Magic Missile

Max Dragon Soul

Why max Magic Missle first? It's the most recommended, because it gives you more attack at your noob levels. If you are unfunded, then put 1 in Magic Missle, then max Dragon Soul, then max Magic Missle. Note: The pre-requisite for Dragon Soul is 10 Magic Missile. (added by MagesRock95) There are no pre-requisites required for Dragon Soul (added by D00h95)
