Wevy has informed me that the stat and skill system in Florensia has changed for CB3. I'll be downloading it today and updating parts of the Cheap Maple Story Mesos guide but I will also need your help as well for skills that I’m not able to test.
Forget about the strength and Int builds for the time being, I'll be testing them out later today.
In this guide I will be going over the two hands and passive skill trees of the Mercenary; if you are looking for a guide for a one hand Mercenary then I suggest you look elsewhere.
I will also be going over two popular stat builds for the mercenary however I will not be giving specific ratios etc. for people to use.
Take note that what is written here is only from my experiences of playing CB1 and CB2, these are my opinions and what I say doesn't necessarily make it the truth or the right choice and furthermore changes may occur to this class.
From my memory this is the English Mercenary skill tree, I don't know why but the JP version has the skill requirements at different levels.
