I guess it’s time to that an updated version of a Jester Guide should be made, seeing as SilentXHill has apparently quit and never updated his Power Jester –Built for Power guide in parallel with the newer versions that eFlyff has created and implemented.
This Jester guide provides the details, information and facts about the Jester class in more depth and provides information to construct a superior Jester in most or if not, in every aspect it can do, including creating a Jester producing high damage output over time and so on. However, as the title says, the guide is only for True Jesters which are the Yoyo Jesters, so with that being said, this is the wrong place to be if you are looking for an Acrobat Guide or a Bow Jester Guide. In addition, this guide only provides information to Jesters who are level 90 or higher, or possibly level 80 or higher. However, some of the information can be useful for Jesters who start at level 60, and in this guide, the word Jester that appears throughout my guide will be referred to Yoyo Jester, not Bow Jester.
The Jester class has always been an interesting class to study and play for me. Its usage of variety of skills and equipment it can equip allows it to create multiple types of Jesters, each specialised for a certain purpose, whether be in PVP or grinding.
Note: This guide’s purpose is to build upon SilentXHill’s guide and extend it further to provide more information and include the newer features of updated versions. Please excuse for the same structure used similiarly compared to SilentXHiLL's guide. This guide is incomplete, and I'll be adding more sections to it, and free to correct my mistakes. Thanks.
The Guide is still incomplete, and I apologise that I haven't updated anything for awhile. I'm too busy at the moment with school.

• Upgraded Set, +8 gives +2 to all stats, therefore gives +2DEX, whilst +10 give +10 to all stats.
+10 set gives +3 to all stats, not +10 to all stats.
But other than that I like it so far except that it seems like a giant wall of text x: I'm assuming you'll fix that later though. I'd probably go into awakenings a little bit more in-depth though, because with just the basics it seems too similar to Silent's guide right now.

Yeah, I know that its similiar to Silent's guide, but I'll be adding alot of sections like Pets/Awakenings etc.
I already figured some bits out of the awakenings, which is potentially better out those, attack/str/criticaldamage/critical rate etc. Figured out that 20+STR is like around 5% critical damage etc, so yeah, I'll be adding those later whne I have time.
Just posting it here, I guess and its been in my word document for like 2 weeks :x
Jesters, are the second fastest levellers under Blades
This is the only part I will disagree with atm, as a yj, your lvling speed wont be close to what an aoer can do.
Yj lvling is not for people who want to grin quickly, it is slow, and takes a great deal of money to pull off.
And even if you do have the money to pull it off, and aoer/blade will still leave you in the dust.
And since any class except yj's are aoers, I would say yjs are the slowest lvlers in the game, the only debatable part is if they are faster than bjs.
However, good guide.
I would like to see more visuals, and a pvp tatics section, perhaps some explanation of the skills, as really the only thing that has changed for yjs is that, their skills. Everything else you have said can be explained in silents guide, its just its easier to do what he says now b/c of awakes/bless's/pets.
Its the skills and the pvp part of silents guide that is lacking.

Well yeah, I did put that in already, "Jesters, are the second fastest levellers under Blades and they produce the second highest damage output over time grinders in terms of 1v1."
I'm not particularly good with visuals but I'll try ask for some assistance though.
And yeah, I'll add PVP tactics/equipment section next and I know its based on Silent's at the moment but I'm going to extend it, just going to take time because I have school as well. But I made a little additional information, eg: how much DEX gives in terms of evasion etc.
Thanks for the feedback.
Edit: Added PVP Build Information, working on two particular PVP builds now that I will finish off tomorrow hopefully.
your pvp section needs more variety of builds. Using sta rings instead of vigors (full str build) is the same thing as having sta in your build while using str rings, i don't see much difference. Also it's not easy to get sta awakenings on your gear, so by going along with your pvp build, one will have to spend a tons of money on reversions to get the sta.
I'm working on the PVP builds tomorrow, so yeah, and I know its the same thing. BUT, it has the ability to adapt, like in the early parts of Guild Siege, you will be wearing your HP gear to tank a few psy bombs, a HoP or two etc but you'll have a decent HoP to farm, then later stages of Siege when you get those characters with lots of HP, you switch to STR gear, and you will have maximun STR value to produce a high HoP damage etc.
And I know's its expensive, I'd recommend a Unicorn or a upgrades stamring though over awakenings. And I said its not cheap
But in Guild Siege, its common to have two pets, highly upgraded rings, different suits like HP/Attack and stuff.
And just to reinforce my PVP build, PVP builds for jesters are very flexible, there is like no set STA. It all relies on HP, and you just need to think outside the square first, which is why I say, add amounts of STA to suit your HP, and that amount of HP should be enough to tank HoPs, but not asal since asal can go like 60+k at the moment. So when I say that, about 1k more HP than your highest HoP in your server.
