This build is an average spearman build. I didn't include the stat build because you can see it on my fighter / page guide.
This build will only list the skills. If you need the stat builds, please visit my fighter / page guide. Thanks, and enjoy!

Introduction
So, you want to be a spearman eh? Well, after all that work from level 1 ~ 30, I think you deserve to be one of the strongest classes in the game. Yes, that’s true : Dragon knights are one of the strongest classes in the game! With skills like dragon fury, dragon blood, and dragon roar, you are taking control of the strongest animal in the world! Not only that, but you can temporarily increase your hp and mp! The only down side is that you need A LOT of funding since the spears and pole arms, aren’t really cheap. Sure, you can buy everything in the Perion store, and El Nath store, but that only lasts up to level 40. You’ll have to buy from other characters to get your level 45 + Armour and spear / pole arm.

Skill Build
It is important to max a skill according to your spearman type. For example : If you’re a party spearman, you need to max hyper body as soon as possible. If you are a solo spearman, you need to max pole arm / spear mastery as soon as possible. So for an average spearman, this is the order of skills you should max:

Mastery > Hyper Body > Booster > Iron Will > Final Attack

Final attack isn’t important because its only just another attack. You can use power strike to do more damage and use booster to do it faster too. Hyper body is a number 1 priority because spearman don’t have a lot of defense, and level very quickly with a cleric / priest. You can kill and use hyper body while a cleric heals you. Clerics LOVE hyper body. That’s why a lot of people team up with you. They are the most wanted warriors in Ludibrium Party Quest

Help for you to get through the levels of MapleStory.

Level 35-51

It's time to Ludibrium PQ (LPQ).

Your party needs to include a Magician with Teleport, a Bandit or Assassin with Dark Sight, and an Assassin with maxed Keen Eyes or a Crossbowman with maxed Eye of the Amazon. A Cleric is highly recommended. All-Cure potions are also highly recommended, as the battle with Alishar will occasionally leave your skills locked or your character being inflicted with the darkness effect.

To be a leader you need an empty channel (a channel that is not full with a party already doing the party quest) or track. A track is where you write into your text bar /find username. This will allow you to track the stage of the party inside doing the PQ and will be ready to click to get in when they're at the last stage.

Stage 1:

Whatever you do, don't click on to Sgt. Anderson. He brings you out and there are no questions to answer for how many passes you need like in KPQ. Just kill all the rats and give the passes to the leader to clear.

Once cleared only 1 person who said they'll go into the next stage first goes in, if that's not you, don't go until he says clear. (Pic below)

Stage 2:

Hit the blue boxes and collect the passes. Do not leave passes if not they'll disappear. Give the passes to the leader. (Pic below)

Stage 3:

Kill the Bloctopus and collect the passes, give them to the leader.

(Pic below)

Stage 4:

If you're a mage, go to one of the top portals, if you're anything else you go to the bottom 2 portals that you can go into. One of those portals has 2 monsters in them. Be sure to mark your portal before you enter. Don't enter marked portals unless they need help and don't forget to mark. (Pic below)

Stage 5:

Go into a portal and hit the blue boxes for the passes. Collect them and give them to the leader. Everyone has to do 1 portal. If you're a Mage you can do the very top portal and if you're a thief, you can do the portal under the Golems. Never jump into the Golems without Dark Sight. They'll kill you instantly. Mark before you go into a portal. You need not mark for the thief portal. Everyone will be racing for mage and thief because they are the easiest. (Pic belowt)

Stage 6:

Go up the pink blocks this is the combo you step on to the pink blocks and press up: 133 221 333 123 111. (Pic below)

Stage 7:

An Assassin or Bowman will attack the rat on top to release the Rombards. The rest will kill them and give the passes to leader. (Pic below)

Stage 8:

Get onto the boxes and if you don't know how to do it, go on 1 or tell your party. You do the same method to try to get every combo the combos are:

Remember to slide trough boxes and not just jump on to the box because it's impossible.(Pic below)

Crack on the Wall: First an Assassin or Bowman attacks the rat and then Alishar is summoned. Kill it then give the keys to the leader. Then choose the brush or bonus.

Brush is when you go into bonus and someone leaves/gets expelled and then he rejoins the party so you can skip bonus while clearing Determine to Adventure but you'll only get back into PQ - 80% of the time. Bonus is you do bonus and after 50 seconds you come out and try to go back into PQ, remember people can get into it while you're doing bonus in that 50 seconds unlike KPQ so it's only 30% chance but bonus gets you good equips. (Pic below)

Bonus: Attack the boxes for stuff. (Pic below)

Determine to Adventure:

Go up and take to Arturo, make sure you have at least 1 space in every category in your inventory. (Pic below)

Rewards of PQ and things you can get in Bonus.

Becoming an archer in MapleStory.

In order to get a good starting archer, you need to roll 4 intelligence and 4 luck. Strength and Dexterity can be anything, if you are lazy, put never let intelligence be any higher then 4, it is a waste to fighters.

Many Questions asked by noobs (not that you are one):

Q. Why is strength and dexterity so important while intelligence and luck isn't?

A 3 simple things:

Dexterity: Power of attacks and higher level equipment

Strength: Different weapons

Luck: although it gives you a higher chance for a drop, you will kill so much that you would have a higher chance.

Q What does AP stand for?

A AP stands for "ability point". Ability points are points that you put on certain stats, which include STR, DEX, INT, LUK, HP, and MP. You get 5 ability points every time you level up

Q What is SP?

A SP stands for "skill points". Skill points are points that you put on certain skills to activate or upgrade them. As a thief, you receive your first skill point at level 10 when you become a warrior and every level after 10 you receive 3 skill points.

Things needed to become a archer:

Level: 10

Strength: 25

Skilling

FOR HUNTERS: STR = LVL + 5

FOR CROSSBOWERS: STR = LVL
