Hybrid Spearman Guide

What is a Hybrid Dragon Knight?

A hybrid dragon knight is a dragon knight that can use both spears and pole arms.

Pros of a Spearman:

Longer weapon range. After third job, the skills are awesome. After third job, the damage is less ranged due to forced stab/swing. You don't need Final Attack after 3rd Job so its better to have 2 Masteries.

Cons of a Spearman:

Slashes with spears do much less damage than stabs. Stabs with polearms do much less damage than slashes. Slower attack at 2nd job because of no Final Attack.

So why Hybrid?

Hybrid Spearmans have Pole Arm Fury and Spear Crusher. Because of this there is no problems with the range of damage because of the stab/slash problem. You won't have to switch weapons all the time since the mob determines which weapon you use.

However, you will need one pole arm and one spear after level 80, and that will get annoying and expensive.

First Job

There isn't much to write on this.

Don't skip the tutorial on Maple Island. The quests are a lot faster than just training on Vic.

After level 10 go and talk to Dances with Balrog in Perion ^^.

AP Build

There are different AP builds. There is no best one.

You need to choose how much DEX you want. The more funded you are, the lower.

Don't do Auto Assign!

Not for Warriors anyway. Heres a tip: Never do DEX = Lvl x2 like it says you should.

Build 1:

This gets you very high DEX early so you can hit the mobs. Don't worry, you'll leave it for a while after 2nd job.

Lvl 10: 42 STR, 20 DEX

Lvl 15: 62 STR, 25 DEX

Lvl 20: 82 STR, 30 DEX

Lvl 25: 102 STR, 35 DEX

Lvl 30: 122 STR, 40 DEX

Your damage will still be quite high, so you don't need to worry.

Build 2:

This is for more funded people, so you keep a lower DEX.

Lvl 10: 52 STR, 10 DEX

Lvl 15: 67 STR, 20 DEX

Lvl 20: 92 STR, 20 DEX

Lvl 25: 117 STR, 20 DEX

Lvl 30: 142 STR, 20 DEX

SP Build

Lvl 10, 1 Increasing HP Recovery(1)

Lvl 11, 3 Increasing HP Recovery(4)

Lvl 12, 1 Increasing HP Recovery(5), 2 increasing max HP(2)

Lvl 13, 3 Incresing Max HP(5)

Lvl 14, 3 Incresing Max HP(8)

Lvl 15, 2 Incresing Max HP(10), 1 Power Strike(1)

Lvl 16, 3 Slash Blast(3)

Lvl 17, 3 Slash Blast(6)

Lvl 18, 3 Slash Blast(9)

Lvl 19, 3 Slash Blast(12)

Lvl 20, 3 Slash Blast(15)

Lvl 21, 3 Slash Blast(18)

Lvl 22, 3 Slash Blast(20), 1 Power Strike(2)

Lvl 23, 3 Power Strike(5)

Lvl 24, 3 Power Strike(8)

Lvl 25, 3 Power Strike(11)

Lvl 26, 3 Power Strike(14)

Lvl 27, 3 Power Strike(17)

Lvl 28, 3 Power Strike(20)

Lvl 29, 3 HP Recovery(8)

Lvl 30, 2 HP Recovery(11)

You can switch Power Strike with Slash Blast if you want, but it's not recommended.

Training

Little training spots for you at the moment.

Lvl 10-15

1. Pig Mini Dungeon - Great EXP. You might want to do your job quests first, but its annoying taking the taxi a lot.

2. Warrior Training Dungeon - It sucks, but you can try it.

Lvl 16-20

1. Octopus - Great EXP up till 20.

2. Pig Mini Dungeon - You can try I guess.

3. Sleepy Dungeon - Only if you are very funded with good damage. And you need to make sure you can actually hit the mobs.

Lvl 21-25

1. Horny Mushrooms at Sleepwood - Avoid Zombie Mushrooms for now.

2. KPQ - This is good for the first few levels. Slow for after though. You can still get a nice Blue Bamboo for +3 STR.

3. Zombie Mushrooms - You should be able to take them ~Lvl 24.

Lvl 26-30

1. Zombie Mushroom + Horny Mushroom Mini Dungeon - VERY good EXP.

2. KPQ - Erm. I guess you can try. It's VERY slow.

Training Equips

To be honest, your noob armour should be fine for now.

Hat: Lvl 25 Blue Bamboo Hat

Top: Lvl 0 Shirt. If you want you can get a Lvl 25 Dark Master Sergeant for +2 STR. Bottom: Lvl 0 Bottom. Overall (Alternatively): 10+ DEX Sauna. A 10 DEX Sauna will cost you 700k though, so if you're new to the game don't bother. If you're not new to the game, it should be easy. Shoes: Lvl 0 Leather Sandals

Glove: 8+ Att Work Glove will boost your damage a lot. Cape: Lvl25 Old Raggedy. If you're not new to the game, a good STR cape is very cheap, so try to get one.

Weapon: This doesn't matter much for now, but recommended NOT to get a PA/Spear yet. Get a one handed sword, the damage is lower but attacks a LOT faster.

Now head over to talk to Dances with Balrog, then become a Spearman. Good Good.

Second Job

Good, you've got 2nd job. Now this is where the boredom begins.

AP Build

This is where you must decide where to cap your DEX. The normal warrior will cap theirs from 60-80. 100 is max definite.

If you were following my build from before:

Build 1:

Lvl 30: 122 STR, 40 DEX

Lvl 35: 147 STR, 40 DEX

Lvl 40: 172 STR, 40 DEX

Lvl 45: 192 STR, 45 DEX

Lvl 50: 212 STR, 50 DEX

Lvl 55: 232 STR, 55 DEX

Lvl 60: 252 STR, 60 DEX

Lvl 65: 277 STR, 60 DEX

Lvl 70: 302 STR, 60 DEX

(:

Build 2:

Pure STR? Lmao. Or you can get it up to 40. You're funded. Your choice.

Training

Ahh this gets boring.

Lvl 30-40

1. CPQ (Carnival Party Quest) is good for now. If you got a RM, its amazing.

2. Iron Mutae at Magatia - This may burn your pots, but its great exp. You might need a bit of DEX to hit them.

3. LPQ (Ludibrum Party Quest) - 35+. This isn't so good, but you might want the broken glasses.

Lvl 40-50

1. Roids at Magatia - They're alright. Make sure you can hit first.

2. Truckers at Singapore - Good. Burns pots though, and you might not be able to hit.

3. Iron Mutae at Magatia - They're still okay, and you should be able to hit them by now.

4. CPQ - Still okay. Get a Spliegmann Necklace.

5. LPQ - Well. You can try. It's HORRIBLE EXP tho.

Lvl 50-60

1. MP3 - This is great EXP but stack up on your pots.

2. Forest Of Golem - This is good too. Great mobs.

3. Truckers - After 55 it might get slow, but very good from 50.

Note: OPQ is VERY slow now.

Note: Don't go Hoodoo/Voodoo. You're a warrior, you can mob, so this is slow.

Lvl 60-70

1. MP3 - Yeah. Very Boring.

2. Forest of Golem.
