| A Spearman is a class that is known as the best [[Warrior]] class in Maple story. This, in some people's opinions, is true. Spearmen are probably the class with the most builds. A spearman can look forward to becoming a [[Dragon Knight]].
| | The Spearman is known for its incredible attacking power as well as its incredible [[mobbing]] abilities. They sacrifice speed for extra range and huge attacking power. They have the most unstable damage out of the three [[warrior]] branches and tend to be very difficult in first and second jobs, but the payout can be well worth it for the elite few who can make it to the third job. |

|
| |
|
| Choosing between [[spears]] and [[polearms]] isn't easy. Look below to find pros and cons for each weapon.
| | Head to the [[Warriors' Sanctuary]] (located at the bottom right of [[Perion]]) once you've reached Lv 30. Go inside and talk to [[Dances with Balrog]]. Pass the letter he gives you to the [[Warrior Job Instructor]] at the [[Excavation Intermission Area]]. After giving him the letter, you'll be given an errand to collect 30 [[Dark Marble]]s by defeating the [[Skeledogs]] inside. Make sure to stock up on recovery items. |
|
| |
|
| ===Pros - Spears===
| | After collecting the 30 [[Dark Marble]]s and talking to the [[Warrior Job Instructor]], you will be awarded with [[Proof of a Hero]]. Show it to "[[Dances with Balrog]]," who will advance you into a Spearman. |
|
| |
|
| *Mobs in 3rd job appear in sizes that favor the use of [[Spear Crusher|Buster]].
| | Note: The [[Dark Marble]]s have a 1/3 drop rate, meaning that a total of about 90 [[Skeledog]]s will need to be killed. |
| *Usually cheaper than polearms.
| |
| *[[Dragon Blood]] and [[Spear Crusher|Buster]] combined are quite powerful.
| |
| | |
| ===Cons - Spears===
| |
| | |
| *Only approximately two-fifths (≈40%) of the attacks are stabs, which weakens the spear's usefulness
| |
| *Overshadowed by Polearms in the 2nd job due to higher chance of slashing.
| |
| | |
| ===Pros - Polearms===
| |
| | |
| *Approximately Three-fifths (≈60%) of the attacks are slashes, powerful for polearms and can hit more enemies above and below you.
| |
| *Better than spears in 2nd job due to higher chance of slashing.
| |
| *[[Dragon Fury: Pole Arm|Dragon Fury]] has less delay than [[Pole Arm Crusher|Buster]].
| |
| | |
| ===Cons - Polearms===
| |
| | |
| *Usually more expensive than Spears
| |
| *Mobs in 3rd job appear in sizes that favor the use of [[Spear Crusher|Buster]].
| |
| *Not useful for using [[Pole Arm Crusher|Buster]], which attacks multiple enemies and hits multiple times.*also like to note that polearms can be found easier than spears in more common areas and look COOL!
| |
| | |
| ===Pros - Hybrid===
| |
| | |
| *Has the Strength of pole-arms in 2nd job without the cost of them in 3rd.
| |
| | |
| ===Cons - Hybrid===
| |
| | |
| *When you max Dragon Crusher, you will hardly ever use a Pole Arm again and waste the Mastery on Pole arms, this is because Crusher is alot stronger than Fury / Sacrifice.
| |
| *Hybrids will either max Final Attack and have low level Spear and Polearm Boosters, or max both boosters and skip Final Attack altogether.

|
| |
|
| === Normal Build ===
| | [[Category:Classes (2nd Job)]] |
| | |
| DEX = Levelx2, rest into STR
| |
| | |
| === Minimum STR until about 120 DEX Build ===
| |
| | |
| Get just enough STR for next
| |
| armor, rest into DEX
| |
| | |
| === No DEX Build ===
| |
| | |
| All points into STR
| |
| | |
| (Note: Not recommended unless you have a funder)
| |
| (Another Note: By "Funded" it means have at least 5mil with you-
| |
| 3mil or 4mil(sometimes 2mil) for the Brown Bandana
| |
| 50k-100k for Fish Spear
| |
| 400k-450k for 800 and/or 900 Sniper Pots)
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| === Low Dex Build ===
| |
| | |
| 1 dex = 0.8 acc
| |
| | |
| | |
| For this build you'll need some money :P
| |
| Low dex warrior build's idea is this: to have low dex and use items that add dex,
| |
| pretty smart ha? XD
| |
| low dex warrior has around 40-65 dex.
| |
| | |
| '''If you don't have money:'''
| |
| | |
| At lvl 35 you will buy blue crusader chainmail, and make it +10 with 100% scrolls.
| |
| It will cost you 462.5k (overall is 112.5k and the scrolls are 35k each- 350k, will give you 14 dex).
| |
| Use green bamboo hat, costs about 15k and adds 3 dex (great ha? :D)
| |
| At lvl 42 buy icarus cape (2)+5 dex which worth 4mil (ull have the money in that lvl if u have a funder)
| |
| And buy sniper pills only if you need because it's kinda expensive ;P
| |
| | |
| so, at lvl 50 instead of having 80-90 dex you will have the base dex u chose (let's say it's 60)+ 22 dex.
| |
| So you will have 60+22 = 82 dex :D
| |
| If you still miss the monsters then buy work gloves that adds dex (+6 dex +10 acc worth 4.5mil)
| |
| When you will have money to buy better overall armors , attack work gloves, cape, and snowshoes + 7 acc or better.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| '''If you have money:'''
| |
| | |
| Buy the lvl 35 overall 19-24 dex (19 - 20mil, 24 - 50mil)
| |
| Buy at lvl 42 Icarus 10 dex (worth 45mil - i think)
| |
| Buy work gloves 8-15 (rofl 15 XD) attack (8 worth 35 mil, 9 worth 45mil, 10 worth 70mil...)
| |
| Buy snowshoes 7-13 acc (dont know the price)
| |
| Buy at lvl 25 green bamboo hat (worth 15k)
| |
| That's it :P
| |
| | |
| Max Acc - + 57.6
| |
| Min Acc - + 41.4
| |
| | |
| So if you have 40 base dex you will have 32 acc
| |
| 32+57.6 = 89 acc which are 111.25 dex!

| And, 16 spare points
| |
| | |
| Note by a player: I recommend spearmen (and all warriors, in fact) to save up sp for final attack. In lower levels, final attack might not knockback the monster, and you'll get hit.Note by a player:For the dexless build,i suggest pumping all ur sp into mastery first to get accuracy which will benefit you in hitting high leveled monsters at a specific level.Then booster(not until maxed yet)Then hyper body and lastly final attack as ur damage is high enough and you do not need to knock monsters back if only depending on dodging..then finally when you're about lvl 67+ u can pump the rest of ur sp into booster or iron will.
