Warrior leveling 1 to 70

Move for a reason. Three things unlock the next map: enough Accuracy to hit it, a kill that takes two hits or fewer, or the current map being full. By our estimate, "go here at 34" is really "go here at about 82 Accuracy".

The picks below are safe-kill picks. They are not proven fastest, because no warrior has a measured EXP-per-hour number yet.

Stats

• STR is damage. Everything goes there except what your next weapon needs.
• DEX for requirements only. A two-handed weapon needs DEX equal to its level. A one-handed weapon needs about level minus 5.
• INT and LUK stay at 4.

Level	STR	DEX	How to get there
30	135	27	Mostly STR, about 1 DEX for every 4 STR after 10. Lean more on DEX at 20 to 25 if you want a level 25 two-hander
36	153	39	3 STR and 2 DEX per level at 31 to 36
50	209	53	4 STR and 1 DEX per level from 37
57	237	60	Same split, then all STR
70	302	60	All STR
100	452	60	All STR

Base DEX of 60 does not cover the 70 DEX a level 70 two-hander asks for. If gear DEX counts toward requirements, your hat and boots cover it. If it does not, you will need 10 more base DEX by then. This is not confirmed yet, so decide when you are holding such a weapon.

Accuracy decides your route

Estimated hit rate: your accuracy, cut by the level gap to any mob above you, rolls against the mob's avoid. This is a community estimate that nobody has tested in Classic World.

At equal level, 100% takes about 3.3 times the mob's avoid. Each level the mob is above you adds about 4% to that. Mobs at or below your level add nothing. Check your own numbers in the accuracy tool.

Estimated figures for a warrior following the stat plan with at 15:

Level	Gear	Accuracy	What that reaches
30	Level 30 set	74	Everything up to . at 34 hits about half the time
34	Level 30 set	81	, about 95%
41	Level 30 set	91	, about 90%
41	Accuracy set	95	, about 100%
44	Level 30 set	95	, about 100%
47	Level 30 set	99	, about 80%
47	Accuracy set	103	, about 90%
50	Level 50 set	107	, about 100%. at 55 about 60%
55	Level 50 set	113	. about 90%
60	Level 50 set	118	. about 85%, about 75%
60	Level 50 set with	122	. about 95%, about 80%
70	Level 70 pieces	133
75	Level 70 pieces	137	about 75%, expect misses

Level 30 set: , , , . A bought hat and quest boots give about 73 instead.

Accuracy set at 40: , , , . It moves you to about three levels early. If you already hit everything, take for the STR. comes later and adds 3 more: its 570 Cursed Dolls are listed only on Zombie Lupins, reference data, unconfirmed, so it cannot get you there. Stores list , so you can buy one. To make it at Tailoring 7 you need a , which no mob we can show drops, so that comes from players too. in its place costs you 1 Accuracy.

Level 50 set: , , , . in place of the gloves adds 3. Three upgrades are later or less certain than they look:

• adds 4 at 60. Its rubble is listed only on and , reference data, unconfirmed, so plan on the quest from about 60. The 30 for come from players, because is listed only around Florina Beach. Stores also list the finished cape, which you can wear from 50.
• An Icarus cape from adds 1 or 2. By quest that comes only after you are already on : its quest wants 50 , listed only on them, reference data, unconfirmed, and 20 , which has no source we can show, so do not stack for it until you know where it comes from. Stores list the Icarus capes too, which you can wear from 46.
• adds 1 or 2 if you can get one. Its quest wants a , which has no source we can show either, so the same goes for it. Stores list the helm too.

Level 70 pieces: , , , , all reported drops.

Subtract 8 if you stopped at 8. A sword user adds up to 20 from Sword Mastery. adds 7 for 15 minutes.

Weapons by level

Any weapon type works before 30, because no Mastery exists yet. Buy for attack at in Perion, and only think about your branch from 25.

Level	Best buys (W.ATK)	DEX	Cost
10	(35), (32), (32), (30), (30)	0	5,000
15	(40), (37), (36), (32)	15, 0, 0, 10	7,000, 7,000, crafted, 5,000
20	(42), (42), (40), (38)	20	13,500, crafted for the Pickaxe
25	(50), (50), (45), (45), (45)	0, 0, 25, 25, 20	Crafted, crafted, 16,500, 16,500, 13,500

Speed matters too. Polearms sit at attack speed stage 7 to 8 and blunts at 6 to 7, while 2H axes and swords are 5 to 6 and 1H swords 4 to 5. Lower is faster. A big slow polearm helps most when it turns two hits into one.

Armor matters less than the weapon. Spend on the weapon first, then see what you can actually get at each level.

The level 30 plan

No shop sells a useful warrior weapon above level 25. The one exception, at level 27, is weak. The level 30 weapons older guides name, such as and , have no source in our tables. So do not bank mesos for a level 30 weapon. Get this done by 30:

• at 15 and all 61 1st-job SP spent.
• A level 25 weapon for your branch, ready to carry you to 35.

Branch	Hold this	Next step
Fighter	, 16,500 at River	at 35, rank 7
Page	, crafted, no DEX	if one drops (30 DEX), at 35
Spearman	, crafted, no DEX	if one drops (30 DEX), at 35

• is a level 30 two-handed sword, crafted or dropped, with no DEX need. It only counts as a sword, so an axe Fighter loses Mastery on it.
• One if your citizenship lets you buy it. in sells them at 600 mesos. The grade needed is unconfirmed.

Training route

Spawn counts below are client data, and they are spawn points, not how many mobs a map holds at once. Nexon changed the spawn system on 30 Oct and gave no numbers, so how busy a map feels now is unverified.

1 to 30

Getting started covers the island and the Lith Harbor quests. Perion is 17 maps on foot from Lith Harbor, so be level 10 before you set out.

One report so far calls a crowded default and advises going past it. It has only 26 spawn points anyway.

30 to 50

This is the stretch where warriors stall, because mobs need more Accuracy and pay less for their HP. Do not walk into the day you advance.

Default: to 34, from about 82 Accuracy, if you fall short, from 44. All Accuracy figures here are our estimate.

50 to 70

EXP per HP trends down with level, with exceptions: Fire Boar .071, Lupin .056, Zombie Lupin .050, Wraith .052, Malady .056, Wild Kargo .046, Officer Skeleton .040, Tauromacis .036. Malady is the best of the 50s on paper. From the 40s on, the real question is what you can kill in one or two hits and whether you can get a spot, not which mob pays best on paper.

When your map is taken

Move one map on, or go up a band if your Accuracy allows. Do not wait. Melee players report that ranged classes tag mobs first on crowded maps, so a map shared with a bowman costs you more than the spawn count suggests. Changing channel is the other answer, and we have no list of quiet maps yet.

Players also report that warriors who only basic-attack get mistaken for bots and see lie detector checks. Answer them when they come up.

Potions

Carry for HP and for MP. They tie for the cheapest per point and heal the most per use at that price. Move to or only when a single heal no longer keeps up.

• Do not confuse , which is MP, with , which is HP.
• The main town grocers sell all of these. The Sleepywood sauna has Orange but no Lemon.
• makes potions heal more: a Red Potion restores 124 HP at rank 3. Whether it counts on food such as Meat is not confirmed, so test one. If it does not, Reds are cheaper per HP for you.
• gives +10 Attack Power for 10 minutes at 500 mesos from and .

Check the market before you sell Etc drops to an NPC, and keep if you plan on the doll chain.

Common mistakes

• Saving mesos for a level 30 weapon that nobody sells.
• Walking into at 30.
• Stopping at 8.
• Expecting 2nd job to add a new main attack. It does not. Power Strike and Slash Blast stay your attacks to 70.
• Treating W.DEF buffs as protection from magic. , , , and all have magic attack stats.

Not confirmed yet

• Whether gear DEX counts toward weapon requirements.
• Which citizenship grade sells .
• Whether AP is assigned for you before level 10.
• Whether 1st job hands you a starter weapon. The client has a 26 W.ATK with no known source.
• How much EXP falls off when a mob is far below or above you.
• How many mobs each map holds since the 30 Oct spawn change.
• What the respawn values on the Camp maps mean.
• Any warrior's EXP per hour, kills per hour or potion cost on any map.
