Hi I just had a few questions while leveling my Crusader, My stats are Str 78/Vit 90/Dex 50 only pumped VIT so I could get carried through the 20th Anniversary Quest line. My current build is Holy Corss just using that till 99. Am I better of going a spear build or build a MATK build? I plan on going Corss Rain/Judgment for 4th Job, whats my best path to get there while solo leveling? I feel like I'm stuck going a ATK build till I turn to 4th job then getting a reset and going MATK build.

 

What build is good for leveling solo? I can't find any updated guides from going to Royal Guard to Imperial Guard so hopefully someone will be able to help.

You're better off going GC(Note GC is both magic and Physical, so don't neglect STR/DEX).  It sounds like a good idea to go spear, since renewal favors agi builds, but that's only until you hit 3rd job. You're better off suffering through 2nd job, and then have a fairly easy life onward. Furthermore they become pretty damn good powerhouses once you hit 3rd job.

 

However It is a expensive, so it you don't have another char(like Rogue or Assassin) to bank roll it, you may want to hold off on creating it. Spear build is basically a super budget version, but they aren't anywhere near as good, middle or late game.

As Zoltor said, going Grand Cross will make your life easier getting to 99, however with a Holy property Crimson Sword, you could certainly use it to hit 99 on Dark Priests (with the repeatable Bounty Board in Geffen). I've done it and it wasn't too bad, especially if you're doing it this weekend with boosted EXP rates. I do disagree with Renewal favoring AGI builds tho... the main leveling tactic now is AOE Skill DPS so VIT tends to be more desired as you are leveling.

 

Check out the formula for Grand Cross, and pick up plenty of healing syrups and a cheap Crusader Shadow Armor if you have some funds: https://irowiki.org/wiki/Grand_Cross

 

As for 3rd job, the main builds are either Physical Ranged AOE/Crit with Cannon Spear https://irowiki.org/wiki/Cannon_Spear or Magical AOE with Genesis Ray https://irowiki.org/wiki/Genesis_Ray. However, with addition of new gear, other builds like Overbrand and even Earth Drive might be doable (and cheaper) in the early 100s these days.

Yea at later levels, that why I said going GC would be better in the long run.

 

Agi looks so good to people, as It's faster to get through the lower levels, but It's rather weak mid-late game.
