Warrior (1st Job)
Lv. 10–30
· 21 SP total
· Advancement at Dances with Balrog, Perion
21 SP total. Warriors' central choice: spend 10 SP on Improve MaxHP for +200 permanent HP (helps every future level), or skip HP for max Power Strike / Slash Blast damage. Recommended path locks in the HP - warriors live and die by their health pool.
HP + Slash Blast (Grinder)
Recommended
Max Improve MaxHP for permanent survivability, then dump the rest into Slash Blast. The safe grinding build.
Most warriors train on grouped mob maps through levels 10-30 (Green Mushroom Land, Zombie Mushroom Land, Kerning subway line 1). Slash Blast's 6-target AoE clears these faster than Power Strike's single-target burst. The 10-point Improve MaxHP investment adds +200 permanent HP - critical for KPQ tanking at Lv 21+ and every future job's survivability. Iron Body and HP Recovery are nice-to-haves this build skips entirely.

HP + Power Strike (Boss Hunter)
Same HP investment, but pump Power Strike for single-target burst. Better for solo bossing.
If you plan to solo Zombie Mushmom, Jr. Balrog, or hidden-street mini-bosses in first job, Power Strike's single-target damage-per-cast outperforms Slash Blast on those fights. Slower for training but faster for boss runs. Same 10-point HP investment because you're standing next to bosses that hit hard.

Fighter (2nd Job - Axe path)
Lv. 30–70
· 121 SP total
· Advancement at Dances with Balrog, Perion
121 SP over Lv 30-70. Fighters commit to ONE weapon type at 2nd job - this build assumes Axe (higher raw damage, canonical classic Maple path). Sword Fighter uses identical structure with Sword Mastery/Booster/FA instead. Every SP maxes something meaningful: Axe Mastery, Axe Booster, Rage (party buff!), Power Guard (30 pts of damage reflection), Final Attack Axe. 1 leftover into Iron Body.
Axe Fighter (Canonical)
Recommended
Axe Mastery -> Booster -> Rage -> Power Guard -> Final Attack. Every skill maxed. 1 SP leftover.
Standard classic-Maple Axe Fighter path. Mastery FIRST to kill 1-damage misses that make 30-40 miserable. Booster SECOND for attack-speed DPS. Rage THIRD because +12 party WATK invites you to every party and buffs YOUR damage too. Power Guard FOURTH because 40% damage reflection is transformative for boss fights. Final Attack LAST because the passive proc is nice but the other 4 skills change how fights play. 1 leftover into Iron Body (filler).

Rage Rusher (Early Party Value)
Same endstate as canonical, but Rage MAXED by Lv 37. Immediate party invitations, sacrifice personal DPS during Lv 30-43.
The party-scene meta variant. Rage is +12 WATK for the WHOLE party at max - if you're the Fighter in a KPQ+ group, maxing Rage first means every party member you buff gets carried DPS from Lv 30 onward. Trade-off: your personal Mastery/Booster come online later, so YOU do less damage during Lv 30-43. Worth it if you're always in parties; questionable if you solo. Same 121 SP total, same endstate as Axe Fighter Canonical - only the order changes.

Page (2nd Job - Blunt Weapon path)
Lv. 30–70
· 121 SP total
· Advancement at Dances with Balrog, Perion
121 SP over Lv 30-70. Pages commit to Sword OR Blunt Weapon (BW/hammer) at 2nd job - this build assumes BW (canonical Page-line weapon, sets up White Knight -> Paladin). Sword Page uses identical structure with Sword Mastery/Booster/FA. Page's signature is Threaten (mob-side WATK debuff) rather than Rage. Every SP maxes something. 1 leftover Iron Body.
BW Page (Canonical)
Recommended
BW Mastery -> Booster -> Threaten -> Power Guard -> Final Attack. Structural mirror of Fighter with Threaten in the Rage slot.
Same priority ladder as Axe Fighter (mastery -> speed -> class buff -> damage mitigation -> FA passive), with Threaten replacing Rage. Threaten is functionally the inverse of Rage: instead of buffing your party's damage, it debuffs the mobs' damage. Both math out similarly in party comps but Threaten is more selfish (you're the one nearest the mobs so YOU benefit most). Page's identity as the 'tanking' warrior line starts here.

Threaten Tank (Aggro Grinder)
Same endstate, but Threaten MAXED by Lv 37. Immediate AoE mob-debuff for the entire 2nd-job grind.
Curve variant of BW Page Canonical. Threaten at max debuffs -12 WATK and -12 WDEF on every mob within range - meaning easier tanking + higher personal DPS output on the debuffed mobs. Maxing it by Lv 37 (vs Lv 50 canonical) means you have this effect active for the ENTIRE 2nd-job training window. Trade-off: Mastery + Booster come online later, so early damage is worse. Great for solo Page players who want to grind grouped-mob maps without a party.

Spearman (2nd Job - Polearm path)
Lv. 30–70
· 121 SP total
· Advancement at Dances with Balrog, Perion
121 SP over Lv 30-70. Spearmen commit to Spear OR Polearm - this build assumes Polearm (canonical for the Dragon Knight -> Dark Knight line, higher DPS ceiling). Spear uses identical structure with Spear Mastery/Booster/FA. Spearman gets HYPER BODY - the buff that makes every party want you at every level from here to endgame. HB max is 20 (not 30 like Power Guard), so leftover 11 SP goes into Iron Body.
Polearm Spearman (Canonical)
Recommended
Polearm Mastery -> Booster -> Hyper Body -> Iron Will -> Final Attack -> 11 leftover Iron Body.
Structural mirror of Fighter/Page with two important tweaks: (1) Hyper Body replaces Rage/Threaten - HB is one of the most-invited-buff skills in the whole game because +60% party HP transforms every fight from Lv 30 to endgame; (2) Iron Will replaces Power Guard - IW maxes at 20 (not 30 like PG), so 11 SP end up in Iron Body carryover instead of 1. Iron Body at 11 is still filler but at least a bigger filler.

Iron Body: 11 / 20

Pure Support Spearman
Skip Final Attack entirely. Max Iron Body + HP Recovery + Endure. All buffs, all tank, zero offensive scaling.
The party-only Spearman meta from classic Maple's late-game. If your entire training identity is 'the buff person other classes wait for', you don't need Final Attack's DPS - your job is to keep Hyper Body / Iron Will refreshed and eat hits while the party clears. Same core (Polearm Mastery + Booster + Hyper Body + Iron Will) as canonical, but drops 30 SP of Final Attack + reallocates to defensive/recovery skills. Max Iron Body (20), max Improve HP Recovery from 1st (16), and 5 SP Endure. You WILL do less damage - but your party will love you.
