Warrior gear guide

Warrior gear guide lays out the most efficient equipment progression for a warrior in MapleStory Classic World, from the job advancement at level 10 to about level 40: the weapon ladder for every family a warrior can swing, the armor shopping trips in Perion, and whether each upgrade is bought in a shop, hunted from a monster, or crafted. Every price, drop, and recipe comes from the wiki's shop, drop, and crafting data. For skills and training, see the Warrior guide and the Training guide; this page is only about the gear.

The supply lines:

Shops. The Perion Weapon Store covers both halves: River sells every weapon family in five-level steps up to level 30 at the same price per tier, and Harry sells the armor ladder to the same point. Past 30, the shelves end.
Drops. Warrior weapons rain from the Training guide's own spots; nearly every bracket has a weapon you can hunt instead of buy. The overlaps are flagged in the tables.
Crafting. Smithing owns warrior gloves outright, takes over shoes from level 25 and helmets' best variants at every tier, and builds the level 40 armor. Weaponcrafting builds most level 35 to 40 weapons.

Tip: Harry's armor tiers come in paired colors with different bonus stats at the same price: the red and brown pieces lean STR, the blue, green, and steel pieces lean DEX. Neither is wrong; buy the stat you are short on for your next weapon's requirements.

Before level 10

Spend nothing on Maple Island; bank for the Perion run. The island already arms you: Red Snails drop the level 10 Wooden Sword and Orange Mushrooms the Long Sword and the Bronze Koif.

Weapons by family

A warrior picks a family long before the second job makes it official (Fighter: sword and axe, Page: sword and blunt, Spearman: spear and polearm). The ladders below show the shop tier and every drop shortcut. One-handed weapons leave the shield slot open; two-handed ones trade it for damage.

Levels 30 to 40: hunt and forge

Past the level 30 shelf, warrior armor is hunted or smithed, and the Training guide's spots carry the loot: Curse Eye drops the Great Brown Helmet and Battle Shield, Fire Boar the Blood Fitted Mail, and Jr. Wraith the Yellow Jangoon Armor.

Several level 40 weapons (Traus, Zard, Blue Counter, Jacker, Zeco) and the level 40 Jangoon bottoms are documented with no confirmed source yet; if the beta shows you where they come from, the wiki wants to know.

When crafting takes over

Two professions carry a warrior past the shops. Smithing makes gloves at every tier, shoes from 25, the upgraded helm variants at every tier (the Mithril and Gold versions out-stat Harry's Bronze pieces), and the level 40 set. Weaponcrafting builds most level 35 to 40 weapons across all families. How professions level is covered on the Crafting page.
