Evan Guide
Evan
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.
Pros + 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, lighting, and darkness
- Can do critical damage
- Gets early Teleport
- At later levels gets a reviving skill
- A mobbing Cold Beam, Ice Breath ftw!
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
AP Build
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)
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: Yes, it looks similar to Build 1, but... You scroll your armor/weapon, which gives you the LUK you need (at least most people scroll their equips for LUK).
Normal LUK and LUKless Comparism
Normal Luk
Pros:
- Has the ability to wear equips freely
- Does not need to buy LUK scrolls
- LUK gives a bit of accuracy
Cons:
- LOW damage
LUKless
Pros:
- High damage
- Does not need to go to Equip stores to buy equips
- Cheaper in a way, because they do not need to buy equips
Cons:
- Bad accuracy (if you don't scroll your equips for LUK)
- Has to stick with one equip from lvl 10 - 200 (usually)
- 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.
Beginner
Welcome, to MapleStory. You will start out in a foggy forest. Do all the quests and you should reach lvl 10 quickly.
Skills
Three Snails - Hurls snail shells to attack monsters from a distance
Level 1: MP -3; Damage 10
Level 2: MP -5; Damage 25
Level 3: MP -7; Damage 40
Recovery - Enables the user to recover HP constantly for 30 sec
Level 1: MP -10; Recover 24 HP in 30 sec
Level 2: MP -20; Recover 48 HP in 30 sec
Level 3: MP -30; Recover 72 HP in 30 sec
Nimble Feet - Enables the character to move around quickly for a short amount of time
Level 1: MP -10; speed +10 for 4 sec
Level 2: MP -15; speed +15 for 8 sec
Level 3: MP -20; speed +20 for 12 sec
Beginner SP Build
Lvl 2-4: +1 Nimble Feet
Lvl 5-7: +1 Recovery
This is due to the fact that Three Snails is useless at later lvls. If you were not a ranged job I would understand though. For Evans, three snails is useless.
