* Attention: Click here for the latest MapleStory Pirate Skill Build Guide *
Pirate is one of MapleStory Adventurer Jobs which has 2 professions you can choose in 2nd Job Advancement : Corsair (uses guns) and Buccaneer (uses knuckles). Both professions equip the same armor. Primary stat is DEX (Dexterity) and secondary stat is STR (Strength). You can become a Pirate by requesting Kyrin for guidance. She is the Pirate Job Instructor located in Nautilus Harbor. Pirates are blessed with outstanding dexterity and power, utilizing their guns for long-range attacks while using their power on melee combat situations. Gunslingers use elemental-based bullets for added damage, while Infighters transform to a different being for maximum effect.

1. Max Double Shot, Dash, Bullet Time and Shadow Heart.
2. Dump remaining SP into Somersault Kick.
Explanation:
You can switch to either Somersault Kick or Double Shot but its recommended to go for max Double Shot. Reason being, Pirate’s health is considerably low and if you train on high level monsters that has high EXP reward, their bump damage is severe and can easily kill you in 3-4 hits. Therefore, to be on safe side of not dying and losing EXP plus train conveniently without having to be close to monsters to attack, use Double Shot for any professions you will be taking for Pirate 2nd Job Advancement! If you plan to use Somersault Kick in the beginning, equip a polearm/spear instead of gun/knuckle to increase the skill attacking range!

5. Max Octopunch, Nautilus Strike, Speed Infusion, Hero’s Will and Time Leap.
Explanation
Buccaneer Blast will be your primary attacking skill in 4th Job instead of Dragon Strike because Buccaneer tends to charge up pretty quickly in less than 20 seconds and then you get to enjoy a super laser attack that hits multiple mobs. Add 1 SP to access active attacking skills. Finally, start maxing Double Down (to gain double effect from Roll of the Dice), Buccaneer Blast (best mobbing skill when charged), Typhoon Crush (ignores enemy defense) and Dragon Strike (use this while charging up for Buccaneer Blast) after maxing all the damage enhancer skills. Octopunch isn’t good for training since there is a long delay to finish an enemy, its best used for bossing.

Hey you should max corkscrew blow instead since it links with the 3rd job spiral assault.
Glad the Bucc primary stat got clarified to be STR. People would go crazy if they cubed (i.e., gambled $$$) to get high %STR potential and Bucc primary stat changed! You scared me a LOT there…
@ justin ; imo, it is ‘okay’, except that, compared to Blunderblast (BB), you won’t spam Blackbootbill (BBB).
even till 4th job, you will only, and only, use BBB to knockback mobs and combo with 8-legs easton (ELS), and not really for the damage. BB on the other hand, is used in so many more occasion.
-it have a little bit more horizontal range than BBB.
-BBB is favored over ELS in the case of fighting lower level mob (quests / PQs perhaps?) since ELS have darn long animation.
-vertical range for BB = love. at a definite platform, you can kill mobs at point blank ; you are invincible.
ayumil there is a quest for both for cosair and bucc to get the ship and transform. they are now mounts
what if i max my blackboot bill???
Is this still up to date?
Thanks Perse for the correction! I have updated the max levels for Admiral’s Wings, Stun Mastery and Precision Strikes from Level 20 to Level 10.
Hey!
Admiral’s Wings, Stun Mastery and Precision Strikes maxed levels seems to be lowered to 10 in GMS
Hi NIgggwak, could you hover your mouse on that skill icon and check what is the Master Level? Master Level refers to the max level that the skill can achieve. Example, Level 30 is the Master Level of Sharp Eye (Bowman 4th Job Skill).
can you update this please im not sure if you did or didnt
i recently became a fan of your website. i play kms and i was on my captain and fullaside was maxed a 10 so do i need to buy a mastery books or did the patch that just came out lower their max level
As what you’ve suggested, I went to Khaini Free Market I noticed that Corsair (Guns) primary stat is DEX and Buccaneer (Knuckle) primary stat is STR. This clarifies my issue. Hope it helps the others. 🙂
Hi Domers, check the weapon requirement stat. Does it require strength and dexterity? If yes, it needs both. Stop by at the freemarket and check the high level weapon knuckle and see their stat. Buccaneer stat is based on the weapon requirement. If its only STR, then you should add to STR (Strength). If its DEX, then all into DEX. If its a mix, you need to add both sides. I’m not sure for Pirates since they have a melee (Buccaneer) and range (Gunslinger). Let me know the result. 🙂
What is the primary stat for buccaneer? I’ve read other guides saying that STR is the primary wherein yours is DEX. I want to auto allocate my AP and the game recognizes all should be in STR. Could you clarify this to me? I recently had my Ultimate Adventurer and I chose Buccaneer because of the card skill. I don’t want to have a wrong build so please help me out. 🙂
ayumi update some icons i noticed octo punch’s icon is not yet updated
Hi Anzu, the last time I played Brawler is that each attack charges a bar (invincible/hidden bar?) and then you will have this energy aura popped out after charging enough.
This probably sounds stupid, but does the energy charge doesnt need to be activated like a buff in order to charge it?
couldnt find viper beam anywhere
Hi Dylan, currently MapleStory Developer have not come up with Buccaneer New Skills yet, so its difficult to determine which to choose.
Should I get buccaneer or thunder breaker for striker when they’re revamped?
Can I know how much sp to put into somersault kick, corkscrew blow and landlubber blast? My skills got reset and therefore I’m not sure how much to put in order to put in sp for 4th job skills. Thank you in advance! 🙂
Hi Jing Xun, I thought that the Super Transformation Skill has been removed upon reaching Tempest Update?
Can i ask that is viper good for bossing or captain?Because i heard that viper most skill are bossing damage?
Hi BoxBreaker1, you will need to reach 4th Job (Level 100 with Tempest Update) and do a little leveling to unlock them. Certain Hyper Skills unlocked at a specific level which you can refer based on this guide and the HyperSkill Guide. If you’re on that same level and its still locked, it means that GMS has not release the HyperSkills for those job yet.
how to do the 4th job viper super transformation skill from instructor in MSEA?
Wow Buccaneer hyper skills really suck 🙁
Oh,but do you have to do something to get them?
box breaker they arent out in GMS yet but in the next update which has been hinted at by a nexon employee they will be in the next patch
Hi Ayumi, how do you get hyper skills
Hi xXDuckyClaimerXx, I have added Hyper Skills in this Pirate Skill Build 🙂
Hey again, Im just wondering if you can put hyper skills in this pirate skill build, that would help alot with my level 106 bucc 😀

Hi Jay, what do you mean by 29K Exp? I can’t find it anywhere being mention.

It seems to be that corsair and dragon warrior are similar . Which class do you prefer since it’s almost identical ?
Does Recoil Shot and Rapid Blast are the requirement for 3rd job / 4th job skills?
Hi Xiiao Mocha, its optional to max gun booster since it only increases the duration of the booster.
no need to max booster for gun?
You did not state for corsair
May I know which point in time do I add pirate’s revenge?
@matthew:
Corrected the Gunslinger Build. Recoil Shot requires Level 5 Wings.
