2. Creating a Character and Leveling it
Start Maplestory, Login, And create a Character in the World of your Choice. You shouldnt be Worried about the "Stats Rolling Dice" because Nexon deleted it and did a Stats reset at level 10. From levels 1-10 Add all Your Sp into "STRENGHT". You begin at Maple Island at level 1. Go do quests and Kill some snails to level up to level 9. It is Important to do the "Pio resting chair Quest", so that you will have a chair to rest with.(Recovers 50 HP and 4 MP every 5 seconds)
As a Beginner You will gain 6 Skill Points to put in different Begginer Skills:
1. Nimble Feet
Master level 3
It makes you walk faster for a set period 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
2. Recovery
Master level 3
Enables the user to gain hp constantly
Level 1: MP-10 Recover 24 hp in 30 seconds
Level 2: MP-20 Recover 48 hp in 30 seconds
Level 3: MP-30 Recover 72 hp in 30 seconds
Three Snails
Master level 3
Enables the user to throw Snails Shells at enemys
Level 1: MP-3 damage 10
Level 2: MP-5 damage 25
Level 3: MP-7 damage 40
It is Recommended to put the SP into "Recovery" and "Nimble Feet", because as a warrior you will do high damage and you wont need the three snails skill.
3. Becoming A Swordman
At level 9 Stop training at 50% and go to Victoria Island. Go do "Olaf Path Choosing Quest". When you finished talking to him Go to Perion.(by taxi or by foot) When you'll talk to "Dances with Balrog" (Warrior instructor guide) Finish Olaf quest and You will level up. Then you can advance into a warrior.
(To advance into a swordman you need to talk to Dances with balrog when you are level 10 and you have at least 35 STR.)
After you advance you should Follow this Rule: DEXTERITY = 2x your level, STRENGHT = All the Sp that is left.
If you are level 12 Your Dex should Be 24. If you are level 29 Your Dex should Be 58.
Your Dex should be Twice your level, Until the DEX reaches 70-80. The best is to stop the Dex at 75, So that with the equips it will reach 78-82
After you have becomed a SWORDMAN you will have 35 Str and 4 in dex, int and luk. Put AP in dex until it reaches 20 And the rest to STR.

The best warrior build:
This is probably the best Build of the Warrior as it maxes all your active skills, while maxing first the skills that gives the most Max Hp.
Notes: Putting any Sp in Iron Body is not necessary because at higher levels 40 Physical Defense is barely helping. (Its only 13-18 damage more and the monsters will do 200+)
Putting the level 10 first Sp in Power Strike isn't good because youll get more Max Hp putting it in Hp increase.
From level 15 and onwards you can decide if maxing Power Strike or Slash Blast first. It all depends if you like Mobbing or Dealing Great hits on 1 monster first.
level 10 : 1 in (Hp recovery)
level 11-12 : 4 in (Hp recovery) 2 in (Max Hp Increase)
