MapleStory Classic Page Guide
Updated October 21, 2026
Page is a STR-driven Warrior advancement in MapleStory Classic World, built around swords, blunt weapons, and a preference for party utility. Available from level 30, it lets you choose between a shield-bearing setup and a two-handed weapon with greater attack.

Page suits players who want a melee Warrior with utility-oriented play and flexible equipment choices. Its weapon specialization is the key consideration when planning upgrades: focus on swords or blunt weapons rather than treating every Warrior weapon as an equally suitable choice.
How to Become a Page
Your character must already be a Warrior and have reached level 30 or above.
- Travel to Perion.
- Find Dances with Balrog at his pavilion to begin the advancement quest.
- Finish the Warrior second-job quest.
- Select Page when choosing your new class.
The other paths at this stage are Fighter and Spearman, so confirm your selection before committing.
Pre-launch progression limit: Classic World does not yet offer a third-job advancement.
Choosing Your Weapon Setup
Pages specialize in both one-handed and two-handed versions of swords and blunt weapons. Their equipment decision follows the same basic trade-off as Fighter.
| Setup | Main benefit | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| One-handed weapon with a shield | Keeps the shield slot available | Gives up the higher-attack two-handed approach |
| Two-handed weapon | Favors greater attack | Cannot be paired with a shield |
Neither setup removes the need to check equipment requirements. STR is your primary attribute, but many weapons also demand DEX.
For example, Gladius requires level 30, STR 65, and DEX 30, while War Hammer requires level 30, STR 60, and DEX 25. Reaching the required level alone does not guarantee that you can equip either weapon.
One-Handed Weapon Milestones
These options cover several equipment checkpoints after becoming a Page. The attack column shows each weapon’s listed W.Atk, not your character’s total damage.
| Weapon | Type | Required level | Required stats | W.Atk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gladius | Sword | 30 | STR 65, DEX 30 | 47 |
| War Hammer | Blunt weapon | 30 | STR 60, DEX 25 | 49 |
| Cutlus | Sword | 35 | STR 70, DEX 30 | 55 |
| Heavy Hammer | Blunt weapon | 35 | STR 70, DEX 30 | 54 |
| Traus | Sword | 40 | STR 80, DEX 35 | 60 |
| Jacker | Blunt weapon | 40 | STR 80, DEX 35 | 59 |
| Jeweled Katar | Sword | 50 | STR 100, DEX 45 | 70 |
| Knuckle Mace | Blunt weapon | 50 | STR 100, DEX 45 | 69 |
Use these as upgrade checkpoints rather than a mandatory shopping list. Check the requirements of your intended replacement before spending resources on it.
Shields and Armor
Page uses Warrior plate armor. A one-handed build can also equip shields, giving you another slot to consider as your level and attributes increase.
Shield checkpoints
| Shield | Required level | Required stats |
|---|---|---|
| Red Cross Shield | 30 | STR 50, DEX 20 |
| Battle Shield | 35 | STR 60, DEX 25 |
| Adamantium Tower Shield | 40 | STR 70, DEX 30 |
| Mithril Tower Shield | 40 | STR 70, DEX 30 |
| Steel Tower Shield | 40 | STR 70, DEX 30 |
| Skull Shield | 50 | STR 90, DEX 40 |
| Adamantium Legend Shield | 60 | STR 110, DEX 50 |
| Silver Legend Shield | 60 | STR 110, DEX 50 |
| Wooden Legend Shield | 60 | STR 110, DEX 50 |
| Gold Ancient Shield | 70 | STR 130, DEX 60 |
| Silver Ancient Shield | 70 | STR 130, DEX 60 |
| Steel Ancient Shield | 70 | STR 130, DEX 60 |
Selected armor upgrades
The following examples show how requirements rise across different armor slots.
| Item | Slot | Required level | Required stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jousting Helmet | Hat | 30 | STR 50, DEX 20 |
| Steel Missel | Gloves | 30 | STR 50, DEX 20 |
| Dark Engrit | Overall | 30 | STR 50, DEX 20 |
| White Martial Arts Shorts | Bottom | 35 | STR 60, DEX 25 |
| Gold Nordic Helm | Hat | 40 | STR 70, DEX 30 |
| Blue Jangoon Armor | Top | 40 | STR 70, DEX 30 |
| Gold Hildon Boots | Shoes | 50 | STR 90, DEX 40 |
| Sapphire Clench | Gloves | 60 | STR 110, DEX 50 |
| Silver Planet | Hat | 70 | STR 130, DEX 60 |
Weapon requirements can exceed those of armor at the same level. At level 30, for instance, Jousting Helmet needs STR 50, DEX 20, compared with STR 65, DEX 30 for Gladius—so plan around individual items rather than a single level-based target.
Quick Tips
- Start the Page advancement in Perion once your Warrior reaches level 30.
- Choose Page, not Fighter or Spearman, at the class-selection step.
- Build around STR, while checking the DEX requirements of planned equipment.
- Use a one-handed weapon if you want to retain a shield.
- Consider a two-handed weapon when prioritizing greater attack over shield access.
- Treat the progression details as pre-launch information; third-job advancement is not currently available.
