4th Job Information

I'm still painfully limited on my 4th job Aran stuff. Can someone answer the following questions for me:

• Which skills do you get upon advancing?
  
• Out of these, which one needs quests?
  
• I know some skillbooks drop from zakum, are there quests you need to do in order for them to drop?
  
• What is the 4th job advancement like? Does anyone have an SS's of it?
  
• What would be considered the end-game pole arm? A Purple Surfboard? If you're unable to get that, how high of a Diesra would need to be scrolled?
  
• How is Arans control during bigger bosses? (HT and PB)
  
• Does HT's seduce mess with Combo Barrier?
  
• Can someone give me a full bossing 4th job build?
  
• Can Arans BF effectively?
  
• How many times does one need to HP wash to effectively boss?
  
• How fast does an Aran level, and where is the best place to train?
  

Thanks for the answers, guys.

• What is the 4th job advancement like? Does anyone have an SS's of it? (Easy. That's all I can say. It waskilling the polearm guy and that was it, iirc.)

There's no way a reverse weapon would be a good end game for you. IIRC, its speed is Slower, so basically it throws your DPM down the toilet. We'll hopefully get a surfboard event, and if we don't I'd suggest something like an Arcglaive or really godly Karstan for end-game.

Oh man, Arcglaives are gonna be expensive...

But wouldn't the level 110 Pole Arm also be good, considering it's Slow, not Slower?

It's slow (8), I think the reverse has the same speed but I'm not 100% sure.

You can get an arcglaive yourself if you have the patience to get 500 crimson woods. (or buy them for ~100k each at the FM)

I'm at 140/500

What about Super Snowboards? They have a Fast attack speed, have 85 W.Atk, and the level requirement is only 50. Perfect, imo.

mapleglobal never got the super snowboards

Yes they did, I have one. Check the CS, people are selling them there.

When I checked the MTS just now they only had about 68-74att clean o.o

I highly doubt that the speed difference will utterly wreck you.

Super Snowboards Mag Att is higher so he probably confused the 85 with mag att.

I looked on Basil. It says it's level 70 and has 85 att and 85 mag att...I dunno if thats right though.. Just throwing it in there.

I can't access MS at the moment otherwise I'd go look in MTS ^^;

I'm thinking of aiming for a decent Karstan, or a Red or Purple Surfboard... Depends which I can find..

That's the SEA version.

Wuts faster, Red surfboard or Reverse diesdra, or they're the same?

Red Surfboard is faster.

wat would be a better end game wep, a 120+ atk lv 100-110 pole arm or a 100+ atk kartsan

I highly doubt that the speed difference will utterly wreck you.

I hate slow attacking, it makes the game less fun for me and does severely cut down DPM. It was something like a 12% damage reduction from speed 6- speed 8. Not only that, but it slows down combo charging somewhat. It's just not really worth it to use a slow speed weapon unless it's godly.
A 100 attack Karstan will be better than a 120 attack slow speed weapon as long as you are using an attack potion, considering 1.12xYour TOTAL weapon attack is what you get from it compared to a slow speed weapon. Hell, a mere 150 total weapon attack is enough to put them near even, which even I will obtain, considering the 35 accuracy is worth around 7 attack.
