NOTE:
I am basing this information on what I can collect through MMOSITE’s 9Dragons forums AND my warrior. There may be inaccuracies here and there but you need to tell me what the correct information is before I can change it.

SPECIAL THANKS:

General Info
Warriors are the most common class in the entire game. They can take more punishment than any other character and can defeat enemies faster than the other classes most of the time. However, they also take more hits than any of the other classes so they need to be tough in order to survive. They can increase the attack power of everyone around them and lower the attack power of enemies. They can also cause a variety of status effects to their enemies. They have numerous different attack skills to level as well.

The Warrior Roles
CLAN – ROLE – CLAN BONUS – WEAPON
League of Beggars – Vanguard Beggar – Bonus Max HP – Staff (Recommended)
Shaolin – Luohan Monk – Bonus Attack Rating – Polearm
Wu Tang – Blue Dragon – None – Sword
Brotherhood of Thieves – Warrior Bandit – Defense – Spear (Recommended)
Sacred Flower – Mistress of War – Dodge - Wheels
Heavenly Demon – Blood Demon – None – Saber

Does clan matter?
For warriors, clan is not of great importance. Spears are the most powerful weapons in the game and the Brotherhood of Thieves get bonus damage from their relic in addition to the ability to reflect a small percentage of damage with their epithet which makes them the superior warriors. They also get more defense from their clan protection skill. Beggars make good warriors since they can increase their maximum life and their epithet adds a bit of attack power. It is extremely important for warriors to have high life so warriors can take more damage even if it is just one more hit.


Stat Builds
Pure STR
Pure STR works very well at lower levels. Many people reset once they hit Raising Light 12 to rebalance their build to adjust to the higher levels. At the Five Dragons level, most of the mobs start getting stronger and harder to hit.

STR = Everything Else. Once maxed, put more into dex.
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough to use Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = Minimum required for weapon. Once STR is maxed, put more into this stat.

Pure Dex
I think this is horrible for PvP. You can hit the opponent all the time and they can barely hit you, but you critical hits will deal less damage and their normal attacks and you will receive a lot more damage when hit.

STR = Minimum required for weapon
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough to use Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = Everything Else

Common PvE Build
This is a build that a lot of players use. It allows them to level fast while grinding, but you are extremely weak in PvP. Anyone with a bit more Dexterity than you can probably beat you silly.

STR = Everything else
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough for Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp for every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = Minimum required for weapons +3 to +5 more

Common PvP Build
Many of the people who want to PvP out there will use a build similar to this. They will be able to beat almost all of the pure STR people unless there is a significant level difference (~16 or more levels I guess). They will level slower than someone with a pure STR build though. A lot of people who reset from a pure STR build will often use a build like this.

STR = 5 STR for every 3 DEX
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough to use Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = 3 DEX for every 5 STR

Balanced Build
I think this build is horrible for higher levels. I have seen warriors that can barely tank 1 mob using this build. At higher levels, they will receive much more injuries while leveling up. However, they can be extremely annoying to deal with in PvP. They have decent defense and dodge and can deal a fair amount of damage to most people. If they fight someone close to their level, they have a high chance of winning if their skills are trained.

STR = DEX
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough to use Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = STR


Accessory Setups
Accessories are important for warriors. They can be used to help them save many chi points that could have been put into essence for something else like constitution. The main goal of any warrior is to achieve high damage and defense with a fair hit rate. Using clothes that boost stats such as maximum life can help reduce the number of points you need to spend in constitution. Conserving your stat point usage is important in making a strong warrior.

NOTE: These are all assuming that you have 6 pocket setups. Not everyone has 7 or 8 pockets to fill up.

Revolving Chakra Levels
-1 Clan Relic
-1 Black Iron Trinket (+100 Dodge, +1% Maximum HP)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Strength, -1 Constitution)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Essence, -1 Wisdom)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Constitution -1 Dexterity)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Dexterity, -1 Essence)

-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Essence, -2 Wisdom)
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Constitution, -2 Dexterity)
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Dexterity, -2 Essence)

As soon as you can, substitute Black Iron Trinket for Wan Daye’s Blue Jade Seal (+5 to all stats) or if you want, a RC strength relic (+9 Strength, -1 Constitution) to make leveling easier.

8 Pocket FD+ Levels
-1 Clan Relic
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Strength, -2 Constitution)

-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Strength, -1 Constitution)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Constitution -1 Dexterity)
-1 RC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+9 Dexterity, -1 Essence)

Elemental Crown Levels
-1 Clan Relic
-1 Blood Gold Trinket (+200 Defense, +2% Maximum HP)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Strength, -3 Constitution)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Essence, -3 Wisdom)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Constitution, -3 Dexterity)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Dexterity, -3 Essence)

If you cannot obtain the Blood Gold Trinket, keep using Wan Daye’s Blue Jade Seal (+5 to all stats).

8 Pocket EC+ Levels
-1 Clan Relic
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Strength, -3 Constitution)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Essence, -3 Wisdom)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Constitution, -3 Dexterity)
-1 EC Bad Karma/Red Relic (+15 Dexterity, -3 Essence)
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Strength, -2 Constitution)
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Constitution, -2 Dexterity)
-1 FD Bad Karma/Red Relic (+12 Dexterity, -2 Essence)

If you can get the Blood Gold Trinket or Conqueror's Trinket, replace the EC Bad Karma/Red Relic +15 Essence, -3 Wisdom with it.

hi zan.. i read alot of ur guides.. erm.. but can u tell me how am i going about to add my blood demon charc when i resets my charc points?? how do i add the points? as i only know tat i dun need wisdom.. can u help? thanks..

look at the stat builds section and pick one

hey zan great job! love ur guides looks like u covered pretty much everything. but i still hve a ?. u mentioned tht during the RC lvls u should get a "Black Iron Trinket (+100 Dodge, +1% Maximum HP)", well im RL 1 now (w00t w00t) but i hve no idea wht this thing is or where to get it.... a lil hlp?

Knife of White Shadow drops it. <---- Clan Bases
Blade of Black Shadow drops it. <---- Conquerer's Cave 1st Floor
Heavenly Claw of _____ Shadow(?) drops it. <---- Conquerer's Cave 1st Floor

Great, look forward the complete version ^.^

erm can u explain to me the "CON = 400 hp for every 10 levels ".. dun seems to get it.. 1 point of CON = ??hp so what does 400hp every 10 levels mean? how do i add it?

if youre a lvl 30 warrior, try to get 1.2k hp. if youre a lvl 70 warrior, try to get 2.8k hp. if youre a lvl 100 warrior, try to get 4k hp.

oh.. now i get it.. thanks alot... hope to see more guides from u..

nice guide although it's just the beginning of it... if you need some help with some stuff, tell me... would be glad to contribute something

regarding the BK relics...does that mean i have to go pk someone from my own clan to get bad karma and this bad karma must be higher than good karma? how much bad karma can i get from 1 pk and how much should i try to aim for?

also how much wisdom to get for relics? currently i have 8 + 4 from elixers....just wondering if i had wasted my wis elixers....

bad karma needs to be higher than good karma.

the amount you get depends on the other person's level.

keep bad karma above good karma.

no wisdom from relics for warriors but elixirs are recommended. wisdom from relics will not allow you to use the essence relics.

hi.. may i know whats the next lvl tat can reset the stats point? PVP = player vs player? izzit more for pk?? how do i add the points den..

STR = 5 STR for every 3 DEX
ESS = 8 (+minimum needed for relics)
WIS = Enough to use Essence Relics
CON = 400 hp every 10 levels (without buffs)
DEX = 3 DEX for every 5 STR

what does is mean by 5 STR for every 3 DEX?
3 DEX for every 5 STR?
can emphasis on it.. coz kinda dun get it.. thanks alot..
once i reset my points all will be
STR 10
ESS 10
WIS 10
CON 10
DEX 10

so how do i go around adding it for PVP build??

sorry for the noob question..

pvp is more for fighting other players so you can use it for PK as well. there is a pure con build that is better, but to make the most of it, you will have to buy a reset item at high level from the cash shop in order for it to be effective so i did not post it in the topic.

when you reset, all your stats is 8 and not 10.

you want to have 5 str for every 3 points of dex. so if you have 150 str, you want to try to have around 90 dex.

oh.. i see.. so tat means 50 STR = 30 DEX.. pure con?? is it better for PVP.. would u mind posting it out if u are free.. coz wish to get my BD to the best stats points i can get.. so ya.. thanks for answering the question.. great guide u have..

hey zan, dont you think its better to use Wan Daye’s Blue Jade Seal than EC or FD Relics.... the seal gives +5 to all stats (so 25 or 20 if you dont regard wisdom) and FD relics only +12 and -2 (so 10 points)... i would say its much better to use the Jade Seal and leave out one of the relics which should be constitution(?)

you need to consider what stats the points are going into. most people leave out the essence relic for wan daye's but i find it better to just invest a few points into wisdom so you can get the most out of your points.

how much can i get those rc and rl relics for?

RC wisdom relics wont cost more than 20k or 30k.
RC essence can cost a bit more around 40k to 50k.
the other RC relics which are strength, constitution, and dexterity can cost up to 70k because they are the most widely used.

so the only way to get bad karma is to find someone from my own clan whos willing to let me kill him in the blood plains? sounds pretty difficult to find...
