Dual Blades Guide

The guide on this page was created for an older and outdated version of Maplestory and is now inaccurate to the current gameplay and no longer deemed useful.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.

Pros: Having high damage compared to other Jobs

Cons :Some of the skills require skill books to master which is needed to buy with Cash

Beginner

Three Snails: Hurls snail shells to attack monsters from long distance. Level 1: MP -3; Damage 10 Level 2: MP -5; Damage 25 Level 3: MP -7; Damage 40

Nimble Feet: Enables the character to move around quickly for a very short amount of time. Level 1: MP -10; speed +10 for 4 seconds Level 2: MP -15; speed +15 for 8 seconds Level 3: MP -20; speed +20 for 12 seconds 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.

Blessing of the Sprite: Buff up the character using the power of the sprite. Every time your highest character level rises 10, 1 skill point goes up.

Beginner SP Build Level 1 - You do not get a point on this level. Level 2 - +1 Nimble Feet (1) Level 3 - +1 Nimble Feet (2) Level 4 - +1 Nimble Feet (MAXED) Level 5 - +1 Three Snails (1) Level 6 - +1 Three Snails (2) Level 7 - +1 Three Snails (MAXED) Level 8 - You do not get a point on this level. Level 9 - You do not get a point on this level. Level 10 - You do not get a point on this level.

The Reason for not adding Recovery: When Recovery is MAXED, it heals only 72 HP in a in 30 seconds, whereas compared to The Relaxer (Chair) which you will get when doing a quest on Maple Island, heals 50 HP every 10 seconds. If you do the Mathematics, you will know which is better.

Rogue Nimble Body: Increases accuracy and avoidability. Level 1: Accuracy +1, avoidability +1 Level 10: Accuracy +10, avoidability +10 Level 20: Accuracy +20, avoidability +20

Disorder: Temporarily decreases the weapon def. and attacking abilities of the affected, even stunting the ongoing attacks. Can't use this skill on a monster that's already in "disorder." Level 1: MP -5; Enemy's weapon attack -1, weapon defense -1 for 7 seconds Level 10: MP -7; Enemy's weapon attack -10, weapon def. -10 for 31 seconds Level 20: MP -10; Enemy's weapon attack -20, weapon def. -20 for 60 seconds

Dark Sight: Use MP to hide behind the shadows. Can't be attacked, and can't attack either. Level 1: MP -24, Disappear for 10 seconds, speed -30 Level 10: MP -15, Disappear for 100 seconds, speed -10 Level 20: MP -5, Disappear for 200 seconds, speed -0

Reason for only adding Double Stab: As a Dual Blade,Lucky-7 , is not needed as they are skills for Thieves and NOT Dual Blades. , you don't even have to care about it because it is for STARS and not Kataras and Daggers. If you save your Skill Points, you can use it for your Blade Recruit (1st Job Advancement) skills for you do not need to use up all your Skill Points to make your Job Advancement.

Blade Recruit SP Build Level 20 - +10 Triple Stab (MAXED), +5 Katara Mastery (5), +6 Katara Booster (6) Level 21 - +3 Katara Mastery (8) Level 22 - +3 Katara Mastery (11) Level 23 - +3 Katara Mastery (14) Level 24 - +3 Katara Mastery (17) Level 25 - +2 Katara Mastery (19), +1 Katara Booster (7) Level 26 - +3 Katara Booster (10) Level 27 - +3 Katara Booster (13) Level 28 - +3 Katara Booster (16) Level 29 - +3 Katara Booster (19) Level 30 - +1 Katara Booster (MAXED) Save SP (2)

Take Note: Endure is very crucial for a Dual Blade as Dual Blade does not have very high Weapon Defense (For 1st - 2nd Job)and when fighting monsters, can hang unto a rope to heal. It also saves the time to sit and heal 50 by 50 HP whereas Endure when MAXED, heals 110 HP every 10 seconds.
