Quick take

The 4th job has 2 builds: Build 1 (Triple Throw first (Jr. Newtie parties and bosses)), Build 2 (Solo Oblivion 4/6 (reset around Lv.145)); pick by your situation and see "Skill build" for the order.
After Lv.120 there are 5 places to train (2 of them work with a party); the best reported EXP is Ulu Estate I/II, Entrance / Centre of / Along the Ulu City, about 3M–5M per 10 minutes solo.
In Singapore the best report is Ulu Estate II: a median of about 4.5M per 10 minutes (6 reports, Lv.167–182).

Summed up from the sections below, where the details and exceptions are; sources are listed at the end of the page.

What it plays like

LUK is the main stat and DEX the secondary; about 5 LUK per attack. Maple Warrior only boosts AP you put in yourself, so let gear carry DEX and put AP into LUK.
Many also raise one as a Haste buffer (more drops and mesos for the party), using parties to reach Lv.77 quickly.

Stats

Lv.10 and 25 DEX to advance; then mostly LUK, with DEX from gear (scrolls give more DEX per slot and it doesn't go to waste when you swap).
Claw speed: Lv.30+ claws are Fast (4) and the Wolf's Fang is Faster (3); until Claw Booster, use it and skip the 35 and 40 claws.

Training in Singapore

Map	Median EXP	Reports	Levels
Ulu Estate II	~4.5M	6	167–182
Ghost Ship 6	~3.5M	2	163–164
Central Way 2	~2M	1	132

EXP is the median of player reports per 10 minutes from Sep 2026 (before the 9/29 update), mixing runs with and without Holy Symbol and event bonuses — a rough guide only.

Night Lords mostly party at Central Way 2 (every group has Sharp Eyes); Ulu Estate II needs plenty of HP.

Skill build

Click a skill for the skill database; the number after the slash is its max level. SP per job: 61 at 1st (67 for magicians), 121 at 2nd, 151 at 3rd.

Beginner

Artale's Three Snails uses no snail shells, so it carries you through the early levels.
Heal now restores HP over a minute and saves a lot of potions early on; Nimble Feet 3 is fine too if you want speed.

1st job

Rogue

SP 61

Early resources are thin and trading opens at Lv.30, so you rely on Three Snails until about Lv.17 before affording a claw and stars.
Disorder became an attack and defense debuff that works on bosses, so you will max it later; Dark Sight lasts 10 s; Double Stab goes 140% → 160%.
Or end with Dark Sight 1 and Disorder 12 instead.

2nd job

Assassin

SP 121

This is the attack-first build; the other common order takes Haste 20 first, then Mastery, Booster and Lucky Seven, ending with Drain 30.

3rd job

Hermit

SP 151

Spend the rest as you like, e.g. Shadow Web 1 and Shadow Meso 30.
Meso Up goes 50% → 60% in Artale, and Shadow Meso can hit monsters immune to weapon damage.

4th job

Night Lord

Build 1Triple Throw first (Jr. Newtie parties and bosses)

Build 2Solo Oblivion 4/6 (reset around Lv.145)

Before Oblivion 4/6 you mostly party at Jr. Newties, so max Triple Throw first. A sample progression: Triple Throw 28 at Lv.129; Triple Throw 30 and Venom 29 at 139; Maple Warrior 8 at 142; at 162 Triple Throw 30, Venom 30, Spirit Javelin 5 or 11, Maple Warrior 9, Taunt 30 and Ninja Storm 25 or 19.
Build 2 is for well-geared players who skip raids and field bosses and solo with their own Sharp Eyes and Holy Symbol: ideally reset at Lv.145 for Oblivion 4/6. Triple Throw 1 already beats Lucky Seven, Spirit Javelin 1 is plenty, and Ninja Storm 7 pushes three monsters. Oblivion captains hit for about 4,000 magic damage, so a low level can die to two hits.
At Lv.145 you usually only do Zakum, and Triple Throw 1 is enough; Hard Papulatus parties rarely take players below 150.
Triple Throw gains 1% mastery per 77 LUK; Spirit Javelin became +10% boss damage; Venom's chance goes 30% → 40%; Taunt and Holy Symbol EXP now add instead of multiply.

Leveling route

Level ranges are suggestions; later stages list several options to pick from by accuracy, damage and potion budget. EXP is a rough figure per 10 minutes, often with Holy Symbol or event bonuses.

Lv.1–30: a claw and work gloves (glove ATT scrolls), +2 speed rubber boots at 11, the Wolf's Fang at 25 (7 claw ATT 100% scrolls, 70k from the Kerning swamp NPC) and the brown hat (+3 LUK).
Lv.31–70: the green hat (+3 DEX), the blue suit at 35 (overall DEX 100%), the Icarus avoid cape at 42, Lv.60 claw and suit, the Lv.70 armor. Use snowflake weather (+20 attack) when training, or at least takoyaki from the Japan shrine (+8).

Tips

In Artale, Meso Explosion ignores physical immunity — exactly what Papulatus's orb bombs have — so it's taken for Papulatus.
