Overview

The Maestro class brings a strong support game to the table. A Maestro 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 Maestro Job Change Guide for detailed information. Changing into a Maestro from a Minstrel 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 Maestro. The journey begins near the Alberta docks!

Builds

Severe Rainstorm Build (2025)

• Uses the element of the equipped arrow when using an Instrument.
• The main issue is getting the cooldown reduced to minimum 5 seconds, 6.5 seconds or 7 seconds at best, to be able to spam Lvl 1, 4 or 5 respectively.
• Now cooldown is no longer an issue -
  • Document Archer reduces cooldown by 4 seconds.
  • Costume combo reduces cooldown by 1 second.
  • Use any weapon which reduces cooldown by 2 seconds (virtually every SR weapon).

INT	100 - 120	For VCT Reduction and SP Pool
DEX	120+	Main Stat and Severe Rainstorm scales off of AGI and DEX. Also helps with VCT reduction
LUK	72	This for my part is a filler, if i have points to give after stating every other stat, I put them in Luk, because a bit Perfect Dodge and extra atk does not hurt
