Overview

Datei:Maestr0.jpg

The Minstrel class brings a strong support game to the table. A Minstrel is ideal or perhaps even mandatory for any large scale Endless Tower run, or for even just a standard dungeon run as well as for WoE play. Unfortunately this class is difficult to solo level and is sometimes regarded as a one trick pony (Magic Strings) of sorts, limiting players to primarily using only one second class skill for the majority of their play, and not being wanted for much else. While yes, they are primarily used for Magic Strings, they do have several other skills that can be useful for endgame play in MVP and WoE situations. Because their most important role is to use Magic Strings, they are often referred to as "Stringers" or "Strings".

Job Change Guide

See Minstrel Job Change Guide for detailed information. Changing into a Minstrel from a Bard or Clown requires the player to track down the legendary 'Minstrel Song' across the world of Rune Midgard. After finding him, the player will be transformed into a Minstrel. The journey begins near the Alberta docks!

Builds

Severe Rainstorm Build

Stat	Level 99	Level 125	Level 150	Level 175
STR	0~10	0~10	0~10	0~10
AGI	71	80	90	100
VIT	30	46	67	104
INT	57	57	57	83
DEX	99	120	120	120
LUK	1	2	77	80

Optional: If you can afford a Temporal Dex Boots Hawkeye Expert Archer4, its a good idea to reset stats at lvl 100 to get 120 dex. you ca reset build at eden: Moc_para01: 17,34. It can be set as 120 dex, 50 int, rest agi or vit. SR drains a lot of SP. You can use sucubus egg (pet) to sp proc., elemental towel at +7, Rideword hat [1] or Vanargand Helm [1] as Evil dragon armor at +8 or higher.

Severe Rainstorm / Support Build

STR: 1
AGI: 60-100
VIT: 95+
INT: 91+ (with 150 you can max effec of reduction delay when playing magic strings)
DEX: 100+
LUK: 1-50+

This is a build that can dish out damage with Severe Rainstorm while also being able to support with skills like Magic Strings and Windmill Rush. Severe Rainstorm is weaker now after the balance patch but is still capable of some decent damage with good equipment. Full Support builds are also possible for endgame purposes but supporting during the leveling phase does not require too much in terms of stats and skills. It is convenient and flexible to be able to both support or to use an AoE damage skill, depending on the party members or the size of the party. High DEX (100-120) is a must for good Severe Rainstorm damage, as well as high AGI (80-100). LUK also adds some ATK so a small amount of it is useful as well. Severe Rainstorm has a high SP cost so INT will help a lot, and INT is also necessary for SP upkeep and stat bonuses when supporting with songs like Magic Strings. Generally, Arrow Vulcan is not used if the Maestro has Severe Rainstorm (and Double Strafe has similar single target DPS and is an Archer skill) so the skill points for that can be used elsewhere (or reset skills once turning Maestro). Windmill Rush is a useful support skill and also helps the Maestro's own Severe Rainstorm damage. It does have a high SP cost however, so perhaps only use it when it makes the difference between one-shotting and two-shotting monsters (or two vs. three) for the Maestro or the Maestro's party members. Improve Concentration helps Severe Rainstorm damage a lot since it increases both DEX and AGI. Magic Strings is crucial for supporting and is very useful. Music Lessons and Voice Lessons should both be maxed for support purposes of course.

The appropriate elemental converters or endow from a Sage class helps damage a lot. Phen Card / Bloody Butterfly Card or alternatively Orleans's Gown is required when targeting monsters or else the attack can be interrupted if the Maestro is attacked by a monster halfway. Supporting does not require an awful lot of gear, but tank oriented gears tend to be good choices, and stat increasing gear can help too. Staying alive longer or taking less damage is always a good thing for parties.
