Weapons
Swords and axes (one- or two-handed). Mastery, Booster and Final Attack only work with their own weapon family. One- and two-handed versions of a family share them, so a 1H sword and a 2H sword both use Sword Mastery. Weapon picks by level are in the Fighter guide and best early weapons by class.

FAQ
When can you become a Fighter in Classic World?
At level 30. Dances with Balrog in Perion starts the 2nd job chain; you collect 30 Dark Marbles in the Warrior Job Instructor's test (West Rocky Mountain IV), bring The Proof of a Hero back and choose Fighter.
What weapons does a Fighter use?
Swords and axes (one- or two-handed). Mastery, Booster and Final Attack only work with their own weapon family. One- and two-handed versions of a family share them, so a 1H sword and a 2H sword both use Sword Mastery.
How many SP does it take to max every Fighter skill?
190 SP for all 8 skills, but each weapon family has its own Mastery, Booster and Final Attack, so a one-weapon build needs 120 SP. Our class guides count 121 SP from the advancement to level 70, so a one-weapon Fighter build can max its whole kit by 70.
Is there a 3rd job after Fighter?
Not yet. Classic World launched with 1st and 2nd job only, so Fighter is your job for now. Nexon hasn't given a date for 3rd job.
Can I plan a Fighter build before spending SP?
Yes. Our skill planner has the Fighter skill tree with every level's stats and prerequisites, and you can share the build as a link.
