Fastest Explorer 1-80?

Fastest explorer.
Do evan's require any purchasse of skill books when going from 1-80?

Well they need to purchase magic guard, spell booster, and critical magic from CS, but it's not a necessity from 1-80 since mobs do low damage.

I'd say a mage seeing as they're the only class to actually be mobile at 2nd job. I went for a fire mage and was getting a fairly consistent 600% / hour (a level every 10 minutes, roughly) for most of 2nd job with an HS mule. I'd probably be faster with a cleric at scarecrows / jesters if you can hold down your map (seeing as heal hits both the middle and bottom platform, it shouldnt be too hard).

I think a cleric would be fastest.
1-35.. easy
35-40 Officer Skeletons
40-55 Scarecrows
55-80 Jesters

Granted you can get Scarecrow and Jesters maps, that is.

I/L are quite fast and you're not limited to Chimney monsters.

1-30 usual stuff
30-35 Helmet Pepe
35-55 CD's
55-80 Jesters

BUT, you can substitute some of those for other places, like 50-60 you can go Oly Oly/Dark Fission.

Doesn't really matter, unless you're trying to make a dozen of them, or can only play an hour a day.
Personally I'd go with whatever class you have the best level 50-70 gear for, because the faster you can kill, the faster you will level. At earlier levels gear doesn't particularly matter, you'll likely one-hit everything anyway, but jesters have a lot of HP and even the Malaysia/Ludi/Ariant/Edelstein alternatives might require two hits or more if you don't have decent damage.

I don't think it is too hard to lvl honestly. All you really need is a maple staff and speed equips. Thank you. I hate cleric's with passion and I don't want to limited to chimney. So I will go I/L first since I have never actually tried them ever.

I'd actually say cleric. Although they can be annoying in the late 5x early 6x levels, you can easily KS out people at Scarecrows and Skeletons, which makes it really fast.

I'd say a sin is really easy to level. Yeah not really any mob attacks but you can still kill faster.
I don't know why people think cleric is fast. I guess if you can find a crows or jesters map it's fast but.. yeah good luck with that. D:
