Overview

Swordmen are strong-willed fighters seeking to lead with their sword and shield. Though stubborn like the waves of the sea, swordmen are able to use their high attack skills to change the tide of the battlefield. Growing up in Prontera and its nearby town Izlude, they have learned that the best defense is the best offense.

Swordmen tend to have high ATK from swords and their skills boost the damage of these weapons. They can wear heavy armor and shield to boost their DEF and their high HP pool from skills and HP bonus significantly help with tanking mobs.

Swordman's Leveling Route:
Monsters	Recommended level	End level	Notes	Map
Familiar Zombie Poporing Skeleton	12	30	In first levels, beware of poporings, Familiar can be a bit annoying.	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F1
Spores Poporing Everything	12	30	Since spores give Strawberry and Blue herbs it is quite useful to get SP resources.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild01
Archer Skeleton Soldier Skeleton	35	50	Loot valuable in general for early levels, apple of archer is useful and Skeleton cards have their market. Be careful not to kill more than 1 at a time in the beginning. Could be a bit hard without potions.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild01
Wolf Everything	30	50+	A very well known trick, the wolves are not aggressive, but they will help their companions if they are being attacked, you can gather a large amount of wolves and kill them with a Magnum Break. You can literally go up to job 50 here with no problem.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild02
Bongun Munak	40	60	The experience is decent, beware of the only nine tail on the map.	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F3
Orc Zombie Orc Skeleton	35	50+	Very slow. The loot is not good at all but there are a LOT of enemies. Easy access, you can go from Kafra => Warper => Orc Dungeon.	ein_fild04 - Einbroch Field
Orc Lady Orc Warrior	40	60+	Very good place in Zeny for first levels. Quite experienced. You may need to spend some more potions to survive. BE CAREFUL WITH THE MVP.	lou_fild01 - Louyang Field
Hard Way Les	30	60+	Note: Moscovia Quest Needed. Very Good experience and farm of huge leaft, this item will be usefull to level up another characters in a future with the Repeteable Quest. Try to create a Sage to give you fire endow to one shot Less With a Bash. Just Kill Less and Mantis.	mosk_dun01 - Moscovia Dungeon.

Gear Progression

Start by buying a Sword at Izlude's Weapon Shop, then a Havier Sword or Two-Hand-Sword. Armor based on your progress and available zeny, but don't invest too much as you will have options later on.

Job 40 or higher

To change class you must at least be job 40 but is always recommended to be at 50.

Mastery is recommended, but not mandatory:

• Bash
• Sword Mastery
• Dex Stat

Build Example

==== As Swordman you'll focus on Bash only, STR, AGI and DEX.(Dex 30-40 just to hit monsters.) ====

Recommended Gear Progression (As Newbie)

Adventurers Guild

The adventurers set is an own set of the server, it is almost free, the only requirement is to perform the quests it has for you.

It is divided into three tiers, doubling its cost each time, getting the complete set without the weapon has a value of 20, 40 and 80.

We recommend getting the set as it is account bound and you can use it on your next characters, it is not tradeable.
