Merchant Leveling

For leveling tips & tricks you can also study Spike's and Cannon Meat's and Beginners guides.

Equipment

There are not much gear options here. Grab your Paradise physical set and Paradise weapon here: (moc_para01 110, 79). They do not differ much in ATK but have different size penalties and attack speed, but I would recommend to choose mace. Also do not forget about Paradise Shadow set which has nice bonuses.

Core Skills
To study full skills list and descriptions please follow this link.
Cart Revolution Your main damage skill. It does 150~250% ATK in 3x3 AoE within melee range. Damage depends on current weight of cart: heavier cart means more damage. You can easily fill your cart with meat which could be bought from Butcher to increase your damage. Note this skill always pushes targets to the left, so if you corner your opponents near the wall you can do a lot of damage pretty fast.
Mammonite This is best single target damage per second skill among first jobs, but every cast of this skill will spend your zeny. Use it to do burst damage. I do not recommend to use it every time if you are not rich enough because this skill can spend 5000 zeny within one second of fight. GIF
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. This tactic should be used carefully because it can be dangerous for you and your partymates (or even unlucky strangers).

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. VIT also will increase HP restoration from items like Orange Potion (502) . Level 50 Stat Auto-attack Cart Revolution STR 40 43 AGI 55 30 VIT 1 40 INT 1 1 DEX 20 20 LUK 1 1

Blacksmith / Whitesmith (aka Mastersmith)

Blacksmiths do not gain any offensive skills, but they have more buffs options to increase their damage output. They are basically advanced Merchants.
