Core Skills |

To study full skills list and descriptions please follow this link. |
Cart Revolution Your main damage skill. |
Mammonite This is best single target damage per second skill among first jobs, but every cast of this skill will spend your zeny. |
Crazy Uproar It is nice buff that increases your damage. There are not any reasons to ignore it. |
Tactics |
---|
Ctrl-clicking Merchants do not have good flee rate or attack speed, but they hit hard and you can use this with your auto-attack build. |
Mobbing with Cart Revolution Mobbing is tactic when you take aggro of several opponents so they groups against you; then you kill them with Area of Effects attacks. |
Stats | |||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
If you are going to level up with Cart Revolution you will have to increase your vitality to be more tanky and durable to stand against several opponents at the same time.

Blacksmith Leveling
Blacksmiths do not gain any offensive skills, but they have more buffs options to increase their damage output. They are basically advanced Merchants.
Equipment |
---|
Again there are not much solid options besides Paradise equipment. Now we should choose between Paradise Blacksmith Axe (520011) and Paradise Blacksmith Two-Handed Axe (620011) . |
Core Skills |

To study full skills list and descriptions please follow this link. |
Weapon Perfection This is very powerfull buff which nullifies weapon penalty. |
Power Thrust Nice addition to our damage. |
Adrenaline Rush This skill increases ASPD for characters wielding maces and axes, which are our main weapons. |
Tactics |
---|
Buff your partymates Adrenaline Rush, Weapon Perfection and Power Thrust are affecting all your partmates. |
Understanding Maximize Power All damage has some interval [min; max] in which it could be rolled with each attack. |
Hammerfall is AoE Stun This could be great contribution to mobbing tactics at lower levels when you can apply stunes easily. |
Greed helps a lot This skill is OP when you play without autoloot (for any reason, like your server do not have that option). |
Stats | |||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
May be my readers will have questions why so little DEX is used. Auto-attack build uses LUK for CRIT which also gives HIT.

Whitesmith (aka Mastersmith) Leveling
I guess there is no need to explain why all characters besides babies should be rebirthed.
With rebirth you gain more skills, more stat points, more MaxHP% and MaxSP%.
Also only rebirthed characters could reach 4th jobs where all the fun begins.
Whitesmiths are pretty much the same as Blacksmiths but with some nice additions which would be explained further.
Equipment | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At this stage we finally are getting some options in terms of equipment thought you still can use just Paradise items.

Cart Termination Also known as High Speed Cart Ram, this skill provides high single target DPS which is quite good even at 3rs jobs. |
Cart Boost This skill provides some movement speed bonus comparable to unmounted AGI UP effect. |
Maximum Power Thrust This is Power Thrust, but has better effect and longer duration. Each cast spends zeny, but considering it's effect and duration price is quite affordable. |
Tactics |
---|
Meltdown (Shattering Strike) Made for PvP purposes, this buff also affects PvE targets, having a chance to lower targets' defense and attack. |
Weapon Refine This is signature Whitesmith's skill. You can refine weapons with usual (not cash shop) ores (such as Oridecon (984) ) more effectively than any NPC could. |
