Pure STR guide for Warriors

The Pure Strength build is unique in that it costs millions of mesos to support at high levels while outdamaging other warriors by hundreds and thousands. Pure STR throughout Levels 1-70 is easy to support, but without a Zakum Helmet, Levels 70+ will drain your pocket in the quest for higher accuracy equipment.[/i]



Build

The roll you should aim for is either

13 STR

4 DEX

4 INT

4 LUK



or



12 STR

5 DEX

4 INT

4 LUK



Both 4 DEX and 5 DEX are generally considered Pure STR. (I have 5 base DEX).



From Levels 1-20, you will be leveling very quickly due to your high attack power and due to the fact that very low Accuracy is required to hit monsters in those levels.



Training

Lv.1-10 Snails of any color, Orange Mushrooms.... You shouldn't need help at this point.

Lv.10-15 Orange Mushrooms at Mushroom Garden or Slimes at the Tree that Grew

Lv.15-20 Pig Beach at the 3-Way Split

Lv.21-30 PQ or Horned/Green Mushrooms at the Mushroom Tree near Ellinia. Ant Tunnel may be worth your while as well.

Lv.31-36 Evil Eyes or Wild Boars/Zombie Mushrooms.

Lv.37-48 Ludibrium PQ, Block Golems, or the SECRET FACTORY (BEST PLACE EVER) where you can net at least 40% an hour until you reach Level 40's! (Money-draining though, but worth it)

Lv. 49-50 Ludibrium PQ or Jr. Yetis/Block Golems.

Lv.51-54 Jr. Yetis at Icy Path 1 or 2. (Icy 2 is slower, but there are Hectors that drop plenty of Green Napoleons and less KSers to steal your mobs).

Lv.55-60 Drake's Meal Table. Many channels are vacced, but be patient and find a channel.

You have many options at this point, and it would be a good idea to check out other guides for more suggestions such as Stereo's Training Guide.

Lv.60-70 White Pangs or Coolie Zombies. Pangs are less crowded and give better exp/hour.

Lv.70-77 Coolie Zombies.

Lv.78-80 Death Teddies or Ghost Pirates.

Lv.80-90 Master Death Teddies, Y&P, Duals.

Lv.90-100 Spirit Vikings, Duals, Grims, Squids.

Lv.100+ Grims, Spirit Vikings, Lethal Squids.







Equipment you should aim for:



For Pure-STR Spearmen/Warriors. Low-dex warriors can look at this too. As a note: You should be well-funded. Don't try to be Pure-STR without at least 50m or high level friends. If you have 50m, you can get rich along the way.



These equips are the BARE MINIMUM. If you wish to wear Speed/Jump Equips, make sure you make up for the accuracy lost in the form of other equipment or Bless. If you have better, don't worry and keep training.



Level 1-19:

Accuracy needed: 7 (Ribbon Pigs)

Base 4 DEX:

Red Bandana at Lv.10 (ACC +2)

or Yellow Maple Bandana (ACC +1.3)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2)

Accuracy = 6.5 --> 7.2



Base 5 DEX:

Red Bandana at Lv.10 (ACC +1)

BASE DEX (ACC +6)

Accuracy = 7



Since DEX work gloves will benefit you more than ATK gloves at low levels, search for an DEX +8-9 work glove.

...



Levels 20-29

Accuracy needed: 57 (King Slime at Lv.25)

Green Bamboo at Lv.25 (DEX +3) --> (ACC +2.4)

Fish Spear (ACC +5)

Work Glove (DEX +9, 15-16 ACC) --> (ACC +22.2-23.2) Suggested ONLY FOR THIS LEVEL PERIOD

Raggedy Cape (DEX +5) --> (ACC+4)

White Kendo Robe (DEX +11 --> +10 100%'s) --> (ACC +8.8)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy = at least 35.4 (at least 57.6 with the DEX glove you should be wearing temporarily)



You need 55 accuracy to hit the Jr. Neckis in PQ, 46 accuracy to hit Ligators at Lv.25, and 57 accuracy to hit King Slime at Level 25 (you need 50 accuracy at Level 30 for King Slime, 39 for Ligators)



I would HIGHLY SUGGEST a DEX glove for now. Godly scrolled Kendo Robes are a laugh, snowshoes are unequipable at the moment, and you can't wear an icarus yet either.

...



Lv.30-39

Accuracy needed: 37 (Wild Boars: 29, Evil Eyes: 37, Zombie Mushroom: 29)

Green Bamboo (DEX +3, ACC +2) --> (ACC +4.4)

Work Glove (DEX +9, 15-16 ACC) --> (ACC +22.2-23.2) Not suggested.

Black Dragon Robe (DEX +13--> +10 100%'s) (ACC +10.4)

or Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +14--> +10 100%'s) (ACC +11.2)

Raggedy Cape (DEX +5) --> (ACC +4)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy = at least 34 without a DEX glove (Add Accuracy from Weapon Mastery to this to hit Evil Eyes which require 37)



You have about 34 accuracy from these equips not including Weapon Mastery and without the DEX glove. This is enough to hit Wild Boars and Zombie Mushrooms. Weapon Mastery will add Accuracy so you can hit Evil Eyes by Lv.32. (Wild Boars: 29, Evil Eyes: 37, Zombie Mushroom: 29).

...



Lv.40-49

Accuracy needed: 83 (Rombad in Ludibrium PQ), 66 (Trojans)

Green Bamboo (DEX +3, ACC +2) --> (ACC +4.4)

Work Glove (DEX +9, 15-16 ACC) --> (ACC +22.2-23.2) Not suggested.

Black Dragon Robe (DEX +13, ACC +6--> +2 10%'s) (ACC +16.4)

or Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +14, ACC +6--> +2 10%'s) (ACC +17.2)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

Maple Weapon (ACC +27-33)

Weapon Mastery (ACC +20)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy = at least 83.



You need 66 Accuracy to be safe for training at Secret Factory. The Ludibrium PQ Rombad requires 83 Accuracy to hit at Lv.40, so you've just made the ticket. You may want to wear Accuracy Red Snowshoes, but it's NOT strictly required to do so since it's probably not necessary with your Maple Weapon at hand. Make sure you're not wearing DEX gloves since it takes quite a lot of your hard-earned damage from you.



You will definitely want to wear your DEX gloves while fighting Alishar though. Alishar requires 116 Accuracy to hit 100% at Lv.50.

...



Lv.50-59 (Maple Weapon) - almost the same as Lv.41-50

Accuracy needed: 92 (Jr Yetis and, when you're Lv.55, Wild Kargo)

Green Bamboo (DEX +3) --> (ACC +2.4)

Work Glove(DEX +9, 15-16 ACC) --> (ACC +22.2-23.2)

or Gold Brist (ATK, ACC +1)

Black Dragon Robe (DEX +18, ACC +9--> +3 10%'s) (ACC +23.4)

or Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +19, ACC +9--> +3 10%'s) (ACC +24.2)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +4) --> (ACC +3.2)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

Maple Weapon (ACC +27-33)

Weapon Mastery (ACC +20)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy: at least 92.2



You have 92.2 Accuracy at the very least with these equips. You need 92 for Jr Yetis and Wild Kargoes (at Lv.55). ACC Red Snowshoes aren't required, but you might want to wear them if you still have a +2 10%'ed overall.

...



Lv.50-59 (no Maple Weapon)

Accuracy needed: 92 (Jr Yetis and, when you're Lv.55, Wild Kargo)

Green Bamboo (DEX +3, ACC +3) --> (ACC +5.4)

Work Glove (DEX +9, 15-16 ACC) --> (ACC +22.2-23.2)

or Gold Brist (ATK, ACC +1)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +27, ACC +13--> +4 10%'s, +1 60%) (ACC +34.6)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +9) --> (ACC +7.2)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +9)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

Weapon Mastery (ACC +20)

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy: 92.4



You start needing godly equips from now on if you wish to fight without a Maple Weapon. You get 92.4 accuracy with these. You should train at Drake's Meal Table starting from Level 55 since it requires 92 accuracy (Kargos require 92 accuracy to hit at level 55).



If you're not that rich, I would advise a DEX glove or Maple Weapon because, if you decide to use them, you will have no ACC problems (and thus, delay the time when you need to pay for these equips). You should try to stay away from the DEX gloves by level 60 and start wearing ATK gloves instead. The same goes for the Maple Weapon. However, I still used my Maple Weapon throughout these levels (It's godly). You have 92.4 Accuracy with these equips (and no DEX gloves).



The Level 50's are like a bombshell if you have less funds than you should.

...



Lv.60-79 (without a Maple Weapon, no DEX gloves)

Accuracy needed: 92 (White Pangs and Zombies)

Green Bamboo (DEX +3, ACC +3) --> (ACC +5.4)

Dark Clench (ATK, ACC +2)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +26, ACC +13--> +4 10%'s, +1 60%) (ACC +33.8)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +9) --> (ACC +7.2)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +8)

Acc Pill (ACC +10)

Weapon Mastery ACC +20

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Accuracy: 91.6



The Dark Clench helps a lot in decreasing the amount you need to spend. 1 ACC is more than 10m now. These equips net you 91.6 Accuracy, enabling you to hit White Pangs and Zombies 100%. It costs a fortune though.



You should be at Zombies until Lv.78. You may wish to go train at Death Teddies at that time, but it's highly un-recommended since they require 124 accuracy to hit 100%. Wait until Lv.80. If you can salvage the accuracy, go right ahead. the same goes for Ghost Pirates, which require 117 accuracy at Lv.78.



If you can acquire a Zakum Helmet (1), the helmet will give you a boost of 39.5 accuracy when it is clean and average. This will cut your equipment cost by a LARGE AMOUNT.



FROM LEVEL 80, THERE ARE TWO PATHS IF YOU DO NOT OWN A ZAKUM HELM. One, wear a DEX glove. Two, wear GODLY equips.

...



Lv.80 (GODLY equips)

Accuracy needed: 117 (Death Teddies at Lv.80, Ghost Pirates at Lv.78), 110 (Duals at Lv.85, Y&P), 125 (Master Death Teddies at Lv.83)

Green Bamboo / Babuta (DEX +3, ACC +5) --> (ACC +7.4)

Blood Emperor (ATK, ACC +3.2)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +38, ACC +20--> +6 10%'s, 2 60%'s) (ACC +50.4)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +11) --> (ACC +8.8)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +10)

Weapon Mastery ACC +20

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Bless (ACC +20)

Accuracy: 125



You will NEVER find an overall that good on the market. You'll have to scroll it yourself. These equips are pretty much 1337. If you can afford to scroll these, you are pretty close to being the best-equipped warrior in Scania.



If you choose not to fight MDT's, you can downgrade the overall to (DEX +34, ACC +18--> +6 10%'s) and downgrade your shoes to (ACC +9), cape to (DEX +10, ACC +8).

...



Lv.80 (DEX glove)

Accuracy needed: 117 (Death Teddies at Lv.80, Ghost Pirates at Lv.78), 110 (Duals at Lv.85, Y&P), 125 (Master Death Teddies at Lv.83)

Green Bamboo / Babuta (DEX +3, ACC +3) --> (ACC +5.4)

WG (DEX +11, ACC +19--> +3 10%'s, +2 60%'s) --> (ACC +27.8)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +24, ACC +12--> +4 10%'s) (ACC +31.2)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +9) --> (ACC +7.2)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +8)

Weapon Mastery ACC +20

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Bless (ACC +20)

Accuracy: 124.8



The equips with a DEX glove are quite shaky since although I recommend DEX +9, ACC +16 or better, I can never tell exactly how much ACC you glean from your glove if you get a godlier one. I will assume you are using the glove mentioned above, and if you ARE using a better one, cut down on the other equips.



If you do not fight MDT's, you can downgrade your equips to fit the monster of your choice. I would recommend MDT's, however, due to the EXP you gain there.



I will repeat this message several times. The more godly your DEX glove is, the more money you will save on other equips since the cost of each ACC is much lower in DEX gloves than in any other equip.

...



Lv.90 (GODLY Equips -- the LIMIT)

Accuracy needed: 146 (Spirit Vikings at Lv.91, Grims at Lv.93)

Green Bamboo / Babuta (DEX +3, ACC +5) --> (ACC +7.4)

Blood Emperor (ATK, ACC +3.2)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +44, ACC +24--> +8 10%'s) (ACC +59.2)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +15) --> (ACC +12)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +19 --> 6x 10%'s, 1x 60%)

Weapon Mastery ACC +20

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Bless (ACC +20)

Accuracy: 146



At this point, you have almost no choice but to get a DEX glove, but for those in possession of 300bil...

...



Lv.90 (DEX glove)

Accuracy needed: 146 (Spirit Vikings at Lv.91, Grims at Lv.93)

Green Bamboo / Babuta (DEX +3, ACC +4) --> (ACC +6.4)

WG (DEX +11, ACC +19--> +3 10%'s, +2 60%'s) --> (ACC +27.8)

Blue Crusader Chainmail (DEX +36, ACC +19--> +6 10%'s, +1 60%) (ACC +46.8)

Icarus (2) Cape (DEX +11) --> (ACC +8.8)

Red Snowshoes (ACC +10)

Weapon Mastery ACC +20

BASE DEX (ACC +5.2 or +6)

Bless (ACC +20)

Accuracy: 146



You have to shell out quite a lot of money to support yourself in Lv.9x even if you have a DEX glove. I'd recommend staying with a chainmail since they are more likely to have higher DEX and are MUCH cheaper.



The more godly your DEX glove is, the more money you will save on other equips since the cost of each ACC is much lower in DEX gloves than in any other equip.





...

Lv.100+, You should have money to buy a Zakum helm or fight for one yourself. Get one now.



Optimum Equips Forever:

Accuracy needed forever: 147 (Highest you need = 147 with the exception of Opachu, for whom you need 183.)

20 acc Weapon Mastery

40.5 acc Zakum Helmet (1) with a 10%

8 acc 10 dex Icarus (2)

39 acc 30 dex, 15 acc Blue Chainmail (or equivalent Battle Road)

3.2 acc #ATK Blood Emperor

10 acc Red Snowshoes or War Grieves

6 acc Base 5 DEX + 4 LUK

20 acc Bless

=146.7 acc total

Good luck! =D (especially the part about the Zakum Helmet)
