[I] Version History
===============================================================================
Version 6.0 - 5/17/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT?!!?!?! An update? YES! As for the final version... well, I lied. After
taking about a year long break from RO, I'm missing it. Thus, I'm going to
play it again this summer. Now, before you spring down about... 70 pages and
start looking what items a Poison Spore drops, this FAQ is under heavy heavy
construction. The heaviest. This update pretty much finishes the Novice and
Swordsmen section, including Knights and the brand new Crusaders. It's mostly
to let you know im alive, and will hopefully be making updates somewhat
regurarly. I've also removed the equipment guide sections, because there's
just so many different combinations possible now, unlike beta 1 where everyone
pretty much had the same of everything.
It's great to be back!
Version 6.1 - 5/18/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thief section updated. Due to ISP problems I wasn't able to play RO today,
so I figured i'd work on the ol FAQ. I just realized that Gravity also added
more in-depth quests to the 2-1 classes, so i'll hopefully be able to update
those soon.
Version 6.2 - 5/25/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ISP still on the blink. I'm getting a new one in a day or so. In the mean
time, I updated the Archer section. I also updated the various Swordsman
job changing quests thanks to PSORaven. I added an alternative Spear Knight
build. Finally, I revised the Rogue section a bit.
Oh yeah! I also did something I've been meaning to do a long time... a
navigation system! You'll notice the table of contents has changed a little
bit. Hit CTRL+F on your browser and input the []s and the Roman Numeral
you're looking for. Hit Find Next and away you go to the section, instantly.
This is only working for the sections I've updated so far however.
Version 6.3 - 5/31/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mage section updated and finished. I <3 Porings.
Version 6.4 - 6/7/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acolyte this time. On a side note, its extremely annoying when Archers snipe
hard enemies and do about 50 damage, wasting everyone's time. Lets get to
level 33 and use a Gakkung, shall we?
Version 6.5 - 6/11/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last, but certainly not least, for the classes - Merchant. Next update is
the world map overview, which could take a bit longer.
Also, a Rogue using Stalk with a pet following him is extremely confusing at
first, and then very funny once you realize what the hell is going on ^_^
Version 6.6 - 6/15/04~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I made a mistake on Cart Revolution - it is in fact, also effected by elemental
weapons. Added more specific Job Bonus stats. Updated some 2-1 quests.
Meh, I'll get to the world map section later.
===============================================================================
[II] Introduction
===============================================================================
Hi, welcome to Weggy's Ragnarok Online FAQ. I've been with this beautiful game
since it's Alpha stages, and have enjoyed almost every minute of it. If your a
complete newbie, please, please, PLEASE read the 10 commandments of RO. You
would not believe how many jerks there are. Anyway, I hope you find all the
information you need contained herein somewhere.
===============================================================================
[III] About Ragnarok Online
===============================================================================
Ragnarok Online is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer RPG) made by Korean company
Gravity based on the Ragnarok Manga by Lee-Myon Jin. It is a rather lengthy
download for dial-up users, but should not be too long for Broadband users.
Ragnarok Online (referred from here on as RO) uses 2d anime-style sprites with
vivid 3d backgrounds to make a very unique game. It heavily emphasis player
interaction, though going solo is always an option if you prefer that style.
I've played many MMORPGs, and I can safely say this is the best. Dark Age of
Camelot, Everquest, nothing can hold a candle to this game. Honestly, I don't
know why... it's a hack and slash like all the others. Maybe its the charm of
the characters, or how the game plays, but it is a very enjoyable game that
has consumed quite a bit of my life - not to mention my computer's life. I
highly recommend you give it a try, unless you want to have a social life.
Then stay away, because once you come in, you'll never be able to leave.
===============================================================================
[IV] The 10 Commandments of RO
===============================================================================
*******************************************************************************
* *
* WARNING *
* *
* YOU WILL READ THIS SECTION IN IT'S ENTIRETY, AND ABIDE BY WHAT IS SAID *
* HERE. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST YOU READ GRAVITY'S TOS AND PAY ATTENTION *
* TO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD IN THE NOVICE TRAINING GROUND. THERE ARE MANY *
* JERKS IN RO, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY MORE *
* *
* *
*******************************************************************************
It shames me that I need to make a section like this. In fact, I'm sure most
of you could skip right over it and be fine. I still hope everyone will read
this section though, if anything else.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember that behind that graphic, there is a living and breathing person.
Like you, he/she has feelings, and deserves proper respect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Thou Shalt Not Taketh Away Ones Honor... and EXP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do NOT kill steal. Kill stealing is attacking a monster another has already
begun to attack. Please find your own monster, as the attacker only gets a
portion of the normal experience. This is also referred to as helping or
jamming.
Due to Gravity's servers being hosted on a tin can and string, sometimes
you'll see players follow an enemy, but always be a few seconds behind
them. You'll see yourself doing it if you're lagging badly. LEAVE THEIR
ENEMY ALONE! This is just as bad as kill stealing, IMO.
Cooralary to Commandment 2: It is okay to Kill Steal if someone asks for help,
usually indicated by using that emote.
Cooralart 2 to Commandment 2: MVP monsters are free for all, so feel free to
join in and whack 'em around a bit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Thou Shalt Not Taketh Ones Crap
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do NOT loot. Looting is taking the items from a monster that you did not
kill. If, after a guy kills something, and walks off without picking up the
stuff, by all means take it. You'll find very often people leave Jellopies
and other less valuable things lying around, so if your a newbie, go ahead
and take them. Always give them back if they ask for them though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Thou Shalt Not Lag Down Servers with their "Jackass-ness"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do NOT bot. There is a program(s), somewhere out there on the net, that
will level your character automatically for you. All it does is loot and kill
steal from honest players, and take up bandwidth for real users. You are also
violating Gravity's TOS by using one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Thou Shalt Not be a l33t h4x0rz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do NOT hack. This includes doing crazy stuff like duplicating items or zeny,
or exploiting bugs in the program. All you are doing is hurting the economy,
so in the end you are hurting yourself. Not to mention Gravity likes to
Rollback the servers when people do dumb stuff like that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Thou Shalt Respect the Services of Merchants
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before speaking with a discount merchant, please check to make sure you have
enough zeny for the item you intend to purchase. Most offer 20 or 15 percent
off, so the math is not difficult. Also, if you don't have the money, don't
ask the merchant to sell you the item at a considerably lower price. Discount
merchants dont make that much of a profit, and none of them are willing to pay
for some of your item out of their own pocket. Also, after you have agreed
to purchase the item, you are bound by a verbal contract to buy it. Don't try
to worm your way out.
About overcharge Merchants as well - Don't bother to give them anything that
sells for 6z or less, because you won't get any extra zeny that way. So just
sell it yourself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Thou Shalt Not screw other Merchants over
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't undercut other Merchants. Undercutting is basically vending the same
item another is for a cheaper price, in an effort to get more business for
themselves. Then the other Merchant will reduce his/her price, then you'll
reduce yours, etc, and you'll wind up in a price war where you both wind up
losing. Vend things for the same price everyone around you is, unless the
other is selling things for a very, very high price.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8) Thou Shalt Not Beg Mercenaries of God for his forgiveness
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acolytes are not your personal, walking red potion. Most will give you a
heal if you ask nicely though. Asking nicely would be "If it's not too much
trouble, could I have a heal?" or "Can you please heal me?". "HEAL PLZ" and
"HEAL NOW" will not do. As I always tell people, if your too lazy to even
write out "please", you don't deserve a heal. If the Acolyte does heal you,
be sure and say thanks. Also, feel free to tip them. About 20z for every 100
HP is good. They also really like Blue gems for thier warps.
And please tip them if one helps you or the Blacksmith you hired to forge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Thou Shalt Not be a Lazy Bum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please don't beg for money. We all know novices are poor, and you will be
until around level 30. We all had to go through exactly what you did. So just
be patient.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Thou Shalt Not Attempt to Steal from their Fellow Players
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't scam, and don't fall for scams. The less people that fall for them,
the less scammers will do them! Popular scams are offering to "upgrade" your
weapon for you, which you can just go yourself. Or, selling items for 1 digit
more than usual. So a 100z item would become a 1100z or 1000z item, hoping
nobody would notice. Unfortunantly, people are dumb enough too. Just
remember, caveat emptor, and if something sounds way too good to be true, it
probably is.
And Weggy sayeth, "Let there be order in RO!" Then the crowds respondeth,
"**** off you little ****** ******!" Then Weggy wept...

A - This is your characters name
B - This is your characters class
C - This is your current HP. If it drops below 0, you die
D - This is your characters SP. Many skills use up this SP. If it reaches 0,
you will not be able to use active skills until it refills
E - This is your base EXP. When it reaches 100%, you will recieve status
points. Asign these into your stats to make you stronger in that area
F - This is your job EXP. When it reaches 100%, you will recieve one skill
point, which you may put into the skill of your choice
G - This is your weight. When it is above 50%, this number will turn red and
you will not automatically recover HP and SP any more. When it is above 90%,
you will no longer be able to attack or use skills.
I - This is the map of the current area you are in. Click on the + and - to
zoom in and out.
J - This is your character. Dashing/Pretty, isn't he/she?
K - This green bar is your HP
L - This blue bar is your SP

up and down through the list
N - When you type a characters name here, anything you type in O will be sent
to him/her as a private message.
O - This is where you input text to broadcast to whoever you want.
P - Clicking this button will set the mode to either send everything you type
to just your party, guild, or everyone on the screen.

like herbs to heal HP, equipable items, like a knife, and ETC items, which
you usually sell. If you click on hold onto an item, you can move it, most
likely into a deal window. Do not drag it outside the window and let go
though, as you will drop it. Anyone could easily come up and steal it then.

item window into here to equip it. If you have a pushcart, you can de-equip
it and check out its contents from here.

===============================================================================
[VII] Stat Information
===============================================================================
You can view your stat window my clicking on the button, or pressing ALT+A.
The number next to the stat is your current amount, and the number to the right
of the arrow is how many status points needed to raise it by 1.
Note: Even though I mentioned his name in the credits, I'd like to thank Node_
here up front for the status bonuses. Check out his Thief FAQ here on
GameFAQs.
The stats are the following...
STR (Strength)_________________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Thief, Swordsman, Acolyte, Merchant
This stat determines how hard you hit. Each point will give you 1 extra ATK.
The bonuses are as follows:
STR Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
10 +1
20 +4
30 +5
40 +8
50 +10
60 +12
70 +13
80 +15
90 +17
100 +19
AGI (Agility)__________________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Thief, Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant
This stat increases how often you will dodge an enemy attack, by increasing
Flee by 1. It will also increase your attack speed. There are no bonuses for
this stat.
VIT (Vitality)_________________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Swordsman, Acolyte, Merchant
Each point in this increases your HP regeneration rate, increases the amount
healing items heal, and reduces damage by 1. There is a small damage reduction
bonus every 20.
INT (Intelligence)_____________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Mage, Acolyte
This stat increases your Magic Attack, which is how powerful your spells are.
Each point in this stat also increases your Magic Defence by 1. It also
increases your sP recovery time, and maximum SP. Also, every 5 points in INT,
you recieve a maximum damage boost, and for every 7 points, you recieve a
minimum damage boost. So you would recieve a max boost at values like 5, 10,
and 15, and a min boost at values like 7, 14, and 21.
DEX (Dexterity)________________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Archer, Swordsman, Thief, Acolyte, Merchant
Each point in this stat will increase your hit by 1, which is how often you
do not miss an enemy. For Archers, this stat determines their damage, like STR
for a melee fighter. For Mages, it determines your casting rate. It will also
increase miniumum damage. DEX also helps with forging/potion making, and
increases the attack of Hunters with the Falcon. The bonuses are as follows:
DEX Min/Max Damage
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
20 +3
30 +4
40 +5
50 +6
60 +8
70 +10
80 +12
90 +13
100 +14
LUK (Luck)_____________________________________________________________________
Recommended for: Archer, Merchant, Thief
LUK has become a bit more useful now. In Beta 1, 100 LUK would give you a 10%
chance to critical, however, now you get 3 criticals per 10 LUK - hence, a 30%
chance to critical. It's really only good for an Assassin or somebody with a
lot of Soldier Skeleton/Caramal Cards to really get high percentages. LUK also
helps with forging rates for Blacksmiths (though only half as much as DEX), and
the Falcon attack for Hunters.
All the following stats are those you cannot increase directly.
ATK (Attack)___________________________________________________________________
This is your physical attack with a weapon. The first number is the attack of
your weapon, plus your STR. The second number is how much ATK your upgraded
weapon adds, which ignores DEF.
MATK (Magic Attack)____________________________________________________________
This is the attack of your magic. This will only be useful to Acolytes and
Mages. The 2 numbers are the range of your Magic Damage. This is effected
by INT and Wands, as they increase the attack by 15%. This stat is
counteracted by MDEF.
Hit____________________________________________________________________________
This number is a represenation of how often you hit an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in DEX increases it by 1 point as well. This
is counteracted by Flee.
Critical_______________________________________________________________________
This number increases by 1 for every 3 LUK you have. Think of this number
as the percentage of a chance of a critical hit.
DEF (Defense)__________________________________________________________________
This is your physical defense against enemies. The damage you take is the
enemies ATK minus your total defense. There are a few things to consider
though - armor works on percentages, so 10 armor will reduce all attacks in the
game by 10%. VIT works on points, so 10 VIT will reduce all damage done to you
by 10.
Upgraded Defense works a bit different. Each of those +s next to your gear is
actually only 2/3rds DEF. So, say you have a +4 Cotton Shirt. That would be
1 + 4(.6666) DEF, for a total of 3.666 DEF.
MDEF (Magic Defense)___________________________________________________________
This is your defense against magical attacks. Useful against Mages in PvP, and
a small number of enemies. The first number is the total magical defense of
all your armor, while the second is your INT.
Flee___________________________________________________________________________
This number is a representaion of how often you dodge an enemy. It increases 1
point every level, and each point in AGI increases it by 1 point as well. Your
flee drops greatly between enemies as they attack you, as it is split amongst
them. This is counteracted by Hit. The 2nd number in Flee is your perfect
dodge, which is that little lucky bubble you get above your head sometime.
Every 10 LUK = 1 Perfect Dodge.
ASPD (Attack Speed)____________________________________________________________
This is your attack speed. 200 is the fastest attack speed, 100 the slowest.
Status Point___________________________________________________________________
This number is simply the number of status points you currently have spare.
Guild__________________________________________________________________________
Your guild name goes here.
===============================================================================

/camera - Toggles camera zooming on and off.
/miss - Toggles miss notification on and off.
/!, /?, /delight, /heart, /sweat, /aha, /fret, /anger, /money, /..., /gawi,
/bawi, /bo, etc - All of these are simply the emotion icons, which are much
more easily performed by ALT or CTRL plus the number or character.
===============================================================================
[X] Novice
===============================================================================
Ahhh, the Novice Class. When you do create your character in one of the slots,
you should consider what final class you should be. That way, you can adjust
your starting stats accordingly. Read up on each of the final class sections
to determine what one suits you best. Though I highly recommend you do not
pick an Archer or Merchant as your first class. After you've picked a name,
skill points, hair color (might I recommend blue?), and hair style, it's time
to dive in.
You'll start in the Novice training ground. Cross the bridge to your right
and you will come upon a castle. Inside is the actual training ground.
You can ask for access directly to the game, which I don't recommend doing if
you're new. It also whisks you away to a random town, which could be
troublesome. Nothing in here is very complicated, so I won't bother with a
walkthru. Some of the NPCs will ask you some trivia questions though, it'd be
a good idea to answer all of those - Not just for the knowledge you gain about
RO, but to also pick up some extra items you can sell. After completing the
training grounds, you should have 100 zeny, or 200 zeny if the final few NPCs
guessed your class correctly. If they did, simply go to the town they
recommend. If they guessed incorrectly, choose from one of the following
towns, based on what class you would like to become:
Alberta - Merchant
Geffen - Mage
Izlude - Swordsman
Morroc - Thief
Payon - Archer
Prontera - Acolyte
Then by some freaky magic, you'll be whisked away to the town you chose.
You can wander around town if you'd like, but I'm sure you want to start
fighting. So for now, exit town. Fighting enemies is very simple, you just
left-click on them until they die. An easier way though, is CTRL+Click. This
will auto-attack the enemy until he dies. Then, pick up what he drops. Start
with the pink blobs, Porings. If your in the desert, fight the tan blobs,
Drops. After fighting a few of those, you level up. Click on the arrow that
appears in the corner and assign stats depending on what your job will be.
You will also soon get a job level, designated by an arrow in the other corner.
Novices only have 1 skill, so guess where your points go? ^_^ Anyway, you want
to keep fighting monsters and picking up what they drop. After Porings, move
on to Fabres or Pickys. After them, ChonChons or Lunatics. Finally, Willows
if they are in your area. When you have collected quite a bit of loot, go back
into town and sell it at a shop. Most players will point Novices in the
direction of the shop, but please ask nicely. Your first piece of equipment
should be a Guard, unless your going to become an Archer. After a Guard, it
would be wise to buy a Cutter, unless your going to become an Archer. After
those two, buy a Leather Jacket. Finally, some cheap headgear. If you still
have money before changing class, buy Sandals. Archers should avoid all this
extra armor, and save all of their money to buy a better bow after they change
jobs.
After a seemingly endless period of hack and slash, you will have reached job
level 10, and have 9 points in your basic skill. Its time to head for the
appropriate town to change class. Read up on each class individually for
more information. Congratulations - you are no longer a newbie.

The following skills are acquired via a quest, and cannot be leveled up:
First Aid_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 5
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 3
Level 1 : Recovers 5 HP
Instructions: First acquire 3 Clovers and 3 Red Herbs. Go to the inn west of
the fountain in Prontera. Talk to the NPC there to learn about the skill.
She mentions you'll need a Clean Guaze. Go to Prontera castle, and then
upstairs on the east side. Find the nurse and get the Gauze. Return to the
NPC at the inn and get the skill.
Comments: Something everyone should get. Its extremely cheap, and helps a lot
as a Novice. You can even use it after you become a Novice. It helps a lot
for Merchants especially, as they have nothing to spend their SP on besides
Mammomite, which is prohibitly expensive for most.
Play Dead_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 7
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use:
Level 1 : Play Dead. Monsters no longer attack you.
Instructions: Talk to the NPC in the Knight's Guild about the skill. Go back
to the nurse NPC in Prontera castle and you'll get a Novice Card. Return to
the NPC in the Knight Guild.
Comments: Completely free, but not really worth your time. As an educated RO
player reading this, you'll have a good idea of what to fight and what not to.
Still, its a fun skill if you're really bored. You cannot use this after
changing classes.
===============================================================================
[XI] Swordsman/Knight/Crusader
===============================================================================
The Swordsman is the bread-and-butter, hit-anything-that-moves with a big ass
sword kinda class. You'll be spending all your time in melee combat, taking
little damage but dishing quite a bit out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Swordsman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're job level 10, take a trip to Izlude. Izlude is South and then
East of Prontera. Go to the building in towards the north west with the large
swords on it. Talk to the NPC inside. This task is pretty simple. You need
to walk along the ledges without falling off. If you do fall off, there are
some aggressive Fabres and Chonchons down there. Not a big deal, but you'll
need to start that section over. Once you complete all that, you can become
a Swordsman... or Swordswoman.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Knight
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Knight is just about as easy as becoming a Swordsman. You'll first
need to be Job Level 40. This is the case with every second class. Go to
Prontera, then head to the Culvert Registration building in the Northwest part
of town. Talk to the Knight there, and he will let you become a Knight for
2500 zeny. You can also rent PecoPecos here for a small fee - talk to the man
outside for those.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Crusader
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To become a Crusader, you need to be Job 40. Then go to Prontera Castle. Go
up 3 screens to the Throne Room, and make a left. Go up the stairs, and talk
to the NPC there to get on your way.
First, if you have a Hand of God and Chivalry Emblem, you can skip the quest
and just go straight to being a Crusader. For most though, you'll need to do
a quest. That requires you gathering up some items. There are 3 sets for
this quest. You will be randomly assigned one.
Set 1 : 10 Horrendous Mouths, 10 Rotten Bandages, 10 Lanterns, 10 Jakk o
Pumpkins
Set 2 : 10 Skel Bones, 10 Manacles, 10 Orc Nails, 10 Short Deanggies
Set 3 : 10 Decayed Nails, 10 Rotten Scales, 10 Worn-out Prison Uniform, 10
Daenggies
After that, go back to the front of the castle and make a right. Talk to the
NPC there. You must have a Rosary with you, which you can buy at the Prontera
church. He will teleport you into a corridor of monsters. Just endure and
run through them. Attacking them will cause you to fail.
For the next part, go to the Prontera Church and talk to the NPC next to the
altar. He'll give you a quiz, but none of the questions are too hard.
Return to the castle and make your way to the first NPC. 1 room away from him,
you will find the 4th NPC. You will be teleported to a room with some
monsters. None are overly difficult, but it would be nice to have some pots
just in case. Finally, go back to the first NPC and become a Crusader. Whew.

Stat Point Builds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIT/STR Swordie________________________________________________________________
This Swordsman is designed mostly to fight in aggressive areas. They have very
high HP, and can regenerate it quick. However, they are very boring, as you'll
hack, slash, rest, rinse, repeat, for the rest of your RO career. The
preffered build if you like dungeons. Start with 9 STR, 9 AGI, 5 VIT, 1 INT,
5 DEX, and 1 LUK. Then build stats as follows:
10 STR
15 VIT
10 DEX
30 VIT

Crusaders might want to throw in a little INT
AGI/STR Swordie________________________________________________________________
This Swordsman prefers to stay out of mobs. He attacks quickly, and uses less
potions at first, but later when your forced to level in aggressive areas you
will have a harder time. Start with 9 STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 1 INT, 9 DEX, and 1
LUK. Then build stats as follows:
10 STR

Hybrid Swordie_________________________________________________________________
Those that use this type claim they are the best, and I agree with them. These
types of Swordies are useful both in and out of aggressive areas. Also, since
the stats are split along 2 defensive types, you are going to be the ultimate
tank. If anything does hit you, it won't hurt all that much either. My
recommended build. Still try to stay clear of mobs. Start with 9 STR, 9 AGI,
5 VIT, 1 INT, 5 DEX, 1 LUK. Then build stats as follows:
10 STR
10 DEX
30 VIT

GC Crusader____________________________________________________________________
This type of Swordsman/Crusader uses Grand Cross as his main attack. It's hard
to level as a Swordsman, but it can pay off as a Crusader. Start with 9 STR,
5 VIT, 1 INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

Comments: A very very good skill, you should lead off every attack with this
skill if you have the SP. Leave it at level 5 though, until you get a higher
max SP.
Magnum Break___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Bash
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15 SP

Level 8 : 17 Hp used, 220% Damage
Level 9 : 16 Hp used, 235% Damage
Level 10: 16 Hp used, 250% Damage
Note: Thanks to JBKMDX and his Swordsman FAQ for the damage boost on Magnum
Break
Comments: Magnum Break has the fire attribute, so against some enemies it will
hurt more, while others less. It also has the ability to push enemies back, so
is handy when you are getting mobbed.
Provoke________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : ATK +2%, DEF -6%, 4 SP used, 53% chance of success
Level 2 : ATK +4%, DEF -12%, 5 SP used, 56% chance of success
Level 3 : ATK +6%, DEF -18%, 6 SP used, 59% chance of success
Level 4 : ATK +8%, DEF -24%, 7 SP used, 62% chance of success
Level 5 : ATK +10%, DEF -30%, 8 SP used, 65% chance of success
Level 6 : ATK +12%, DEF -36%, 9 SP used, 68% chance of success
Level 7 : ATK +14%, DEF -42%, 10 SP used, 71% chance of success
Level 8 : ATK +16%, DEF -48%, 11 SP used, 74% chance of success
Level 9 : ATK +18%, DEF -54%, 12 SP used, 77% chance of success
Level 10: ATK +20%, DEF -60%, 13 SP used, 80% chance of success
Comments: Not very useful. Though it does reduce the defense of an enemy a
good amount at higher levels, and works on percentages, it also increases
attack. This SP is better used in Bash or Magnum Break.
Endure_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Provoke
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15 SP
Level 1 : 10 Seconds
Level 2 : 13 Seconds
Level 3 : 16 Seconds
Level 4 : 19 Seconds
Level 5 : 22 Seconds
Level 6 : 25 Seconds
Level 7 : 28 Seconds
Level 8 : 31 Seconds
Level 9 : 34 Seconds
Level 10: 37 Seconds
Comments: A somewhat useful skill, it prevents you from flinching when hit. It
can be nice for fast hitting enemies, but it's high pre-requisite and much
better make it skills make it worth waiting for.
Auto Berserk___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 30
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Uses Level 10 Provoke on self when HP is 25% or less
Instructions: Acquire 35 Powder of Butterfly, 10 Honey, 10 Horrendous Mouths,
and 10 Decayed Nails
Comments: Lowers your defense, which is something that can be very fatal when
your HP is so low. It does raise your ATK a teeny bit, but overall, I don't
like it. I say skip it, as its more of a burden than a blessing.
Fatal Blow_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 30
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Adds Stun Effect to Bash. Level 6 has a 6% to stun, Level 7 12%,
Level 8 18%, Level 9 24%, and Level 10 30%
Instructions: First get 10 Fire Arrows, 10 Silver Arrows, 10 Banana Juice, 30
Tentacles, and 5 Royal Jelly. Then go into one of the side rooms at the
Prontera Upgrade NPC and talk to the NPC there.
Comments: A nice skill to have, as pretty much any Swordie or higher class uses
Bash, and Bash 10. A 30% chance to stun is pretty nice. Royal Jellies can be
hard to get though.
Walking HP Recovery____________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 35
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Recover HP while moving, though only at 25% of your standing rate
Instructions: This one is a pain. You need a whopping 500 Empty Bottles, 1
Padded Armor, and a Rocker Doll. Go to Izlude, and enter a building in the
northeast. Talk to the NPC there to get it.
Comments: It is a pretty nifty skill, as it will reduce your reliance on
potions and whatnot by a small amount. Its a real pain in the ass to get
though, so you may wanna get it much later.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Skills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spear Mastery__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active of Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : ATK +4 (+5 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 2 : ATK +8 (+10 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 3 : ATK +12 (+15 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 4 : ATK +16 (+20 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 5 : ATK +20 (+25 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 6 : ATK +24 (+30 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 7 : ATK +28 (+35 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 8 : ATK +32 (+40 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 9 : ATK +36 (+45 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 10: ATK +40 (+50 When Riding PecoPeco)
Note: Only works with Spears
Comments: Well... if you wanna use a Spear, this is a good skill to get.
Otherwise, skip it.
Pierce_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Spear Mastery
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 7
Level 1 : 110% Damage, +5 HIT
Level 2 : 120% Damage, +10 HIT
Level 3 : 130% Damage, +15 HIT
Level 4 : 140% Damage, +20 HIT
Level 5 : 150% Damage, +25 HIT
Level 6 : 160% Damage, +30 HIT
Level 7 : 170% Damage, +35 HIT
Level 8 : 180% Damage, +40 HIT
Level 9 : 190% Damage, +45 HIT
Level 10: 200% Damage, +50 HIT
Note: This will hit Small monsters once, Medium twice, and Large 3 times
Note 2: Only works with Spears
Comments: Not all that useful. Bash is better for small monsters. This is
slightly better for Mediums because of the lower SP cost. It is better for
large monsters however. Still, since there aren't that many large monsters,
you can skip this entirely or make it one of your last skills.
Spear Stab_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Pierce
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 9
Level 1 : 120% Damage
Level 2 : 140% Damage
Level 3 : 160% Damage
Level 4 : 180% Damage
Level 5 : 200% Damage
Level 6 : 220% Damage
Level 7 : 240% Damage
Level 8 : 260% Damage
Level 9 : 280% Damage
Level 10: 300% Damage
Note: Only works with Spears
Comments: This skill will impale the enemy, and push him back (like Magnum
Break) Its low damage doesn't make it that useful though, you're better off
with Bash unless you want to make an escape.
Brandish Spear_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Spear Stab, Level 1 Riding
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 12
Level 1 : 120% Damage, 1 Spread Range
Level 2 : 140% Damage, 1 Spread Range
Level 3 : 160% Damage, 1 Spread Range
Level 4 : 180% Damage, 2 Spread Range
Level 5 : 200% Damage, 2 Spread Range
Level 6 : 220% Damage, 2 Spread Range
Level 7 : 240% Damage, 3 Spread Range
Level 8 : 260% Damage, 3 Spread Range
Level 9 : 280% Damage, 3 Spread Range
Level 10: 300% Damage, 4 Spread Range
Note: Only works with Spears
Comments: A very interesting skill, you swing your spear instead of stabbing.
It has a very wide arc of attack at higher levels, not to mention a decent
damage boost. It might not be bad in high spawn rate aggressive areas (like
Geffen 1, for example), but virtually useless on passive monsters. You're
better off with Bowling Bash if you have it, though if you don't, it's nice
mob control.
Spear Boomerang________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Pierce
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 8
Level 1 : 150% Damage, 3 square range
Level 2 : 200% Damage, 5 square range
Level 3 : 250% Damage, 7 square range
Level 4 : 300% Damage, 9 square range
Level 5 : 350% Damage, 11 Square range
Note: Only works with Spears
Comments: Only having 5 levels is a big plus. Throw your spear and have it
return to you, damaging all along the way. A great skill to have.
Two-Hand Quicken_______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 2-handed Sword Mastery
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 30 Second Duration, 14 SP used
Level 2 : 60 Second Duration, 18 SP used

Level 8 : 240 Second Duration, 42 SP used
Level 9 : 270 Second Duration, 46 SP used
Level 10: 300 Second Duration, 50 SP used
Note: Only works with 2-handed Swords
Comments: Pretty much exactly like the Blacksmith's Adrenaline Rush, this
skill doubles your attack speed for a fixed period of time. A must have for
any 2-handed Sword Knight.
Auto-Counter___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 2-handed Sword Mastery
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 2 SP per counter
Level 1 : 0.4 Second Duration
Level 2 : 0.8 Second Duration
Level 3 : 1.2 Second Duration
Level 4 : 1.6 Second Duration
Level 5 : 2.0 Second Duration
Comments: Only having 5 levels is a big plus. When used, any enemy that hits
you during its duration will immediatly be countered by a hit, and you will
take no damage. With a low SP cost, this is a great skill, and should be maxed
like 2-hand quicken.
Bowling Bash___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 2-handed Sword Mastery, Level 10 2-hand Quicken, Level
5 Auto-counter, Level 10 Bash, Level 3 Magnum Break
Active of Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15
Level 1 : 150% Damage
Level 2 : 200% Damage
Level 3 : 250% Damage
Level 4 : 300% Damage
Level 5 : 350% Damage
Level 6 : 400% Damage
Level 7 : 450% Damage
Level 8 : 500% Damage
Level 9 : 550% Damage
Level 10: 600% Damage
Comments: The way this thing works is by first hitting an enemy with a Bash-
like attack, which knocks away the enemy, followed up by a Magnum Break-like
one to throw away all the other enemies. Very high damage, you'll want to get
this one.
Riding_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Endure
Active of Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Allows you to ride a PecoPeco
Comments: Having a PecoPeco is kind of nice for getting you somewhere fast,
but unless you also increase Cavalier mastery it actually makes you weaker.
Rent a PecoPeco from a NPC right outside of the Culvert Registration building,
where you became a Knight.
Note: Contrary to popular belief, this does NOT let you do 100% damage to
mediums with 2 handed swords. That works ONLY for spears, yet another reason
to leave the birds to the lancers.
Cavalier Mastery_______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Riding
Active of Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 60% Attack Speed
Level 2 : 70% Attack Speed
Level 3 : 80% Attack Speed
Level 4 : 90% Attack Speed
Level 5 : 100% Attack Speed
Comments: Essential if you want a PecoPeco, otherwise your weaker than with
one.

Faith__________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : +200 HP, +5% Resistance to Holy
Level 2 : +400 HP, +10% Resistance to Holy

Level 8 : +1600 HP, +40% Resistance to Holy
Level 9 : +1800 HP, +45% Resistance to Holy
Level 10: +2000 HP, +50% Resistance to Holy
Comments: A great skill. For one, you get a MASSIVE HP boost. You also resist
Holy better, which is a great bonus for Grand Cross Saders.
Cure___________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15
Level 1 : Cures Silence, Chaos, Blind
Comments: Useless useless. How are you going to use this if you're silenced?
Chaos doesn't work yet, and Blind is hardly even an annoyance. Only get it
because its a pre-requisite.
Divine Protection______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Cure
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : -3 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 2 : -6 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 3 : -9 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 4 : -12 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 5 : -15 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 6 : -18 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 7 : -21 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 8 : -24 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 9 : -27 Damage from Undead/Demon
Level 10: -30 Damage from Undead/Demon
Comments: Pretty much useless. Helps a small amount, but not worth maxing.
Only get it because it's a pre-requisite.
Demons Bane____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Divine Protection
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : +3 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 2 : +6 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 3 : +9 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 4 : +12 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 5 : +15 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 6 : +18 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 7 : +21 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 8 : +24 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 9 : +27 Damage to Undead/Demon
Level 10: +30 Damage to Undead/Demon
Comments: Also pretty much useless. Get it as a pre-req for Heal.
Heal___________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Demons Bane
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : Uses 13 SP
Level 2 : Uses 16 SP
Level 3 : Uses 19 SP
Level 4 : Uses 22 SP
Level 5 : Uses 25 SP
Level 6 : Uses 28 SP
Level 7 : Uses 31 SP
Level 8 : Uses 34 SP
Level 9 : Uses 37 SP
Level 10: Uses 40 SP
Comments: Just like the Acolyte skill. Great for Grand Cross saders, but other
types don't have the INT to use it effectively, and they need the skills
elsewhere.
Holy Cross_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 7 Faith
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 135% Damage, 3% Chance to Blind, 11 SP used
Level 2 : 170% Damage, 6% Chance to Blind, 12 SP used
Level 3 : 205% Damage, 9% Chance to Blind, 13 SP used
Level 4 : 240% Damage, 12% Chance to Blind, 14 SP used
Level 5 : 275% Damage, 15% Chance to Blind, 15 SP used
Level 6 : 310% Damage, 18% Chance to Blind, 16 SP used
Level 7 : 345% Damage, 21% Chance to Blind, 17 SP used
Level 8 : 380% Damage, 24% Chance to Blind, 18 SP used
Level 9 : 415% Damage, 27% Chance to Blind, 19 SP used
Level 10: 450% Damage, 30% Chance to Blind, 20 SP used
Comments: Not bad, but not good either. Does Holy damage, which is nice since
many strong enemies are weak to Holy. There are more essential skills to get,
but its still a good choice.
Grand Cross____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 10 Faith, Level 6 Holy Cross
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 140% Damage, 37 SP used
Level 2 : 180% Damage, 44 SP used
Level 3 : 220% Damage, 51 SP used
Level 4 : 260% Damage, 58 SP used
Level 5 : 300% Damage, 65 SP used
Level 6 : 340% Damage, 72 SP used
Level 7 : 380% Damage, 79 SP used
Level 8 : 420% Damage, 86 SP used
Level 9 : 460% Damage, 93 SP used
Level 10: 500% Damage, 100 SP used
Comments: Wow. What a skill. A lot to say about this. First of all, the
damage is determined by both your physical ATK and MATK. It has a casting
delay, but you cannot be interrupted during the casting. It makes a cross
formation around you, and damages each enemy in it 3 times with a Holy attack.
A special caveat to this skill though - it also damages you for half that
amount. Heal is definently required if you want to use Grand Cross. Because
of this, you need to go full GC or not at all. It's a great skill when used
properly however. Thanks to PSORaven for some of this info.
Guard__________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 5% Chance to Guard, 12 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 2 : 10% Chance to Guard, 14 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 3 : 14% Chance to Guard, 16 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 4 : 18% Chance to Guard, 18 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 5 : 21% Chance to Guard, 20 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 6 : 24% Chance to Guard, 22 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 7 : 26% Chance to Guard, 24 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 8 : 28% Chance to Guard, 26 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 9 : 29% Chance to Guard, 28 SP Use, 300 second duration
Level 10: 30% Chance to Guard, 30 SP Use, 300 second duration
Note: This skill requires a shield.
Comments: A fantastic skill, as it more or less reduces the damage you take
by 30% when maxed. It has diminishing returns though, something rare in RO.
So you can actually afford not to max this. I wouldn't recommend it though,
its a great skill.
Smite__________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Guard
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 10 SP
Level 1 : 120% Damage, 20% chance to stun, 5 cell knockback
Level 2 : 140% Damage, 25% chance to stun, 6 cell knockback
Level 3 : 160% Damage, 30% chance to stun, 7 cell knockback
Level 4 : 180% Damage, 35% chance to stun, 8 cell knockback
Level 5 : 200% Damage, 40% chance to stun, 9 cell knockback
Note: This skill requires a shield.
Comments: A high chance to stun and knockback, but crappy damage. It is funny
to see though. Still, I wouldn't max it.
Shield Boomerang_______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Smite
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 12 SP
Level 1 : 130% Damage, 3 Cell Range
Level 2 : 160% Damage, 5 Cell Range
Level 3 : 190% Damage, 7 Cell Range
Level 4 : 220% Damage, 9 Cell Range
Level 5 : 250% Damage, 11 Cell Range
Note: This skill requires a shield.
Comments: A great skill. It works just like Spear Boomerang. Weight of the
shield and how upgraded it is improves damage. Use it to attack enemies from
range for a lot, then switch to a melee attack when they get in range.
Shield Reflect_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Shield Boomerang
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 13% Damage returned, 35 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 2 : 16% Damage returned, 40 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 3 : 19% Damage returned, 45 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 4 : 22% Damage returned, 50 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 5 : 25% Damage returned, 55 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 6 : 28% Damage returned, 60 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 7 : 31% Damage returned, 65 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 8 : 34% Damage returned, 70 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 9 : 37% Damage returned, 75 SP used, 300 second duration
Level 10: 40% Damage returned, 80 SP used, 300 second duration
Note: This skill requires a shield
Comments: Another fantastic Crusader skill. This skill reflects the damage
the enemy does back at him. This should be maxed if you can afford the skill
points.
Sacrifice______________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Grand Cross, Level 5 Shield Reflect
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 25 SP
Level 1 : Can be used on 1 person, 30 second duration, 7 cell range
Level 2 : Can be used on 2 persons, 45 second duration, 8 cell range
Level 3 : Can be used on 3 persons, 60 second duration, 9 cell range
Level 4 : Can be used on 4 persons, 75 second duration, 10 cell range
Level 5 : Can be used on 5 persons, 90 second duration, 11 cell range
Comments: Takes the full damage the target receives. You can use Guard and
Shield Reflect in combination with this skill. Its high pre-requisites makes
it pretty much out of reach for most however.
Defending Aura_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Shield Boomerang
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 30 SP
Level 1 : +20% DEF against ranged attacks
Level 2 : +35% DEF against ranged attacks
Level 3 : +50% DEF against ranged attacks
Level 4 : +65% DEF against ranged attacks
Level 5 : +80% DEF against ranged attacks
Note: This skill requires a shield
Comments: A great "in addition" skill, as it really reduces the damage of
ranged attacks. Your movement is slightly slowed when using this.
Resistant Souls________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Divine Protection, Level 5 Heal
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 30 SP
Level 1 : +5% Resistance versus Dark, +5% Resistance versus Holy
Level 2 : +10% Resistance versus Dark, +10% Resistance versus Holy
Level 3 : +15% Resistance versus Dark, +15% Resistance versus Holy
Level 4 : +20% Resistance versus Dark, +20% Resistance versus Holy
Level 5 : +25% Resistance versus Dark, +25% Resistance versus Holy
Comments: Another great "in addition" skill, as extra resistance is always
nice.
Spear Mastery__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : ATK +4 (+5 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 2 : ATK +8 (+10 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 3 : ATK +12 (+15 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 4 : ATK +16 (+20 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 5 : ATK +20 (+25 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 6 : ATK +24 (+30 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 7 : ATK +28 (+35 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 8 : ATK +32 (+40 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 9 : ATK +36 (+45 When Riding PecoPeco)
Level 10: ATK +40 (+50 When Riding PecoPeco)
Comments: Exactly the same as the Knight skill. Get it if you're using a
spear.
Spear Quicken__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 10 Spear Mastery
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : +21% Attack Speed, 30 Second Duration, 24 SP used
Level 2 : +22% Attack Speed, 60 Second Duration, 28 SP used
Level 3 : +23% Attack Speed, 90 Second Duration, 32 SP used
Level 4 : +24% Attack Speed, 120 Second Duration, 36 SP used
Level 5 : +25% Attack Speed, 150 Second Duration, 40 SP used
Level 6 : +26% Attack Speed, 180 Second Duration, 44 SP used
Level 7 : +27% Attack Speed, 210 Second Duration, 48 SP used
Level 8 : +28% Attack Speed, 240 Second Duration, 52 SP used
Level 9 : +29% Attack Speed, 270 Second Duration, 56 SP used
Level 10: +30% Attack Speed, 300 Second Duration, 60 SP used
Note: This only works with 2h Spears
Comments: Great skill if you're going to use a spear. Otherwise skip it.
Riding_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Endure
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Allows you to rent a Grand Peco
Comments: Exactly like the Knight's skill. Spears do 100% to mediums with a
Peco, and your attack speed is reduced to 50%. You get a Grand Peco as a
Crusader though, which IMO is much uglier ^_^
Cavalier Mastery_______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Riding
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 60% Attack Speed when Riding a Pecopeco
Level 2 : 70% Attack Speed when Riding a Pecopeco
Level 3 : 80% Attack Speed when Riding a Pecopeco
Level 4 : 90% Attack Speed when Riding a Pecopeco
Level 5 : 100% Attack Speed when Riding a Pecopeco
Comments: Essential if you get a Pecopeco. Otherwise, it's worthless.

[XII] Thief/Assasin/Rogue
===============================================================================
The Thief is a class designed to hit fast, and not be hit. Though his max
damage may not be that high, and low defense REALLY hurts when you get hit,
his high agility is designed to make up for it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Thief
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll need to go to Morroc. Go northwest of town to the pyramid. In the
middle of the pyramid, head to the middle - watch out for the bats, as they
are aggressive. Go down the stairs, and take the west exit. Talk to the NPC.
He will tell you to go outside and find another NPC. Do so. He's near the
center of the map. He will warp you to a special dungeon. Inside, attack
the mushroom monsters. You need to get 25 points - Gooey Mushrooms are worth
1 point, Net Mushrooms 3. Watch out for the monsters here, as some are
aggressive. When you've collected enough, go back to the NPC in the pyramids
to change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming an Assasin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To become an Assasin, you'll need to go the guild after job level 40. It is
located south, south, east, east of Morroc. Inside, pay the guildmaster 666
zeny.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Rogue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is actually one of the easier quests to change jobs. First of all, you'll
need to go to the Lighthouse which is inbetween Morroc and Comodo. Once there,
look for the NPC. He will teleport you to the Rogue Guild.
Once there, answer the quiz questions from Maki. Then find Semaslato. You'll
need 10,000 zeny on you. After that, you'll be instructed to find some NPC.
Listen to the clues. After finding him/her, return to Maki. You'll be
attacked by monsters on the way, just run away from them. Talk to Maki to
become a Rogue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stat Point Builds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agility/Dual Dagger Assassin___________________________________________________
The most common and best Thief Build. I highly recommend you use this one.
Starting stats are 9 STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 1 INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

LUK Thief/Katar Assassin_______________________________________________________
This build uses Katars as an Assassin in order to get a lot of criticals. I'm
not a huge fan of this build, but it can be powerful if used correctly. It's a
bit harder to level as a Thief and early Assassin as other types though.
However, you don't need as much DEX since criticals can't miss. Start with 9
STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 1 INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

Full Bow Thief/Rogue___________________________________________________________
Pretty much just to be different. A Thief and Rogue that uses bows. Leveling
as a Thief will be a real pain in the ass, and a bow Rogue is basically a weak
Archer. So I don't really recommend it. Start with 1 STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 9
INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

Hybrid Bow Thief/Rogue_________________________________________________________
This class is pretty fun. Basically, he uses Bows at a distance to hit the
enemy, then switches to a Dagger when they get close. A class that requires
a bit more than mindless hack and slash. Start with 9 STR, 9 AGI, 1 VIT, 1
INT, 9 DEX, and 1 LUK.

Thief Skills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double Attack__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 5% to double attack
Level 2 : 10% to double attack
Level 3 : 15% to double attack
Level 4 : 20% to double attack
Level 5 : 25% to double attack
Level 6 : 30% to double attack
Level 7 : 35% to double attack
Level 8 : 40% to double attack
Level 9 : 45% to double attack
Level 10: 50% to double attack
Comments: This skill only works with a Knife weapon. It is a fantastic skill,
as you do double damage as well as stunning the enemy longer - which means
less time for them to attack you! Maxing this should be the first skill on
your list.
Increase Dodge________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Flee increased by 3
Level 2 : Flee increased by 6
Level 3 : Flee increased by 9
Level 4 : Flee increased by 12
Level 5 : Flee increased by 15
Level 6 : Flee increased by 18
Level 7 : Flee increased by 21
Level 8 : Flee increased by 24
Level 9 : Flee increased by 27
Level 10: Flee increased by 30
Comments: A very useful skill, since your flee is how often you dodge. You
must max this one.
Envenom________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 12 SP
Level 1 : +15 ATK, 14% Chance to Poison
Level 2 : +30 ATK, 18% Chance to Poison
Level 3 : +45 ATK, 22% Chance to Poison
Level 4 : +60 ATK, 26% Chance to Poison
Level 5 : +75 ATK, 30% Chance to Poison
Level 6 : +90 ATK, 34% Chance to Poison
Level 7 : +105 ATK, 38% Chance to Poison
Level 8 : +120 ATK, 42% Chance to Poison
Level 9 : +135 ATK, 46% Chance to Poison
Level 10: +150 ATK, 50% Chance to Poison
Comments: The Thief's bash, sort of. The poison effect is nice, as it really
weakens the enemy. The extra ATK is handy too. There are better skills,
but it's still not a bad choice.
Steal__________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 10 SP
Level 1 : 13% Success
Level 2 : 16% Success
Level 3 : 19% Success
Level 4 : 22% Success
Level 5 : 25% Success
Level 6 : 28% Success
Level 7 : 31% Success
Level 8 : 34% Success
Level 9 : 37% Success
Level 10: 40% Success
Note: Your DEX also effects your success chance
Comments: A handy skill, as it will give your SP some use if you don't use
Envenom. It's also a pre-requisite for other skills. You'll probably want
to get this one.
Hide___________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Steal
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 10 SP, then drains additional SP while being used
Level 1 : 30 second duration, 1 SP per 5 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 2 : 60 second duration, 1 SP per 6 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 3 : 90 second duration, 1 SP per 7 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 4 : 120 second duration, 1 SP per 8 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 5 : 150 second duration, 1 SP per 9 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 6 : 180 second duration, 1 SP per 10 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 7 : 210 second duration, 1 SP per 11 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 8 : 240 second duration, 1 SP per 12 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 9 : 270 second duration, 1 SP per 13 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 10: 300 second duration, 1 SP per 14 seconds addition SP consumed
Comments: This can be used for 2 reasons: Escape from a mob of angry
aggressives. This is great for a Thief since AGI does NOT do well against
many enemies at once. It also has a nasty secondary use - if a under-leveled
character is trying to kill steal from you, hide. All of a sudden, they're
the tank for the enemy they have no business in hitting. Do it, come back,
and laugh at them. Serves the jerks right...
Detoxify_______________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Envenom
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: ???
Level 1 : Cures poison
Comments: Hey, its only 1 point. Handy, but a handful of green herbs can
easilly replace it.
Back Slide_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 35
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 7
Level 1 : Slide back 5 cells opposite of the direction you are facing
Instructions: First get 20 Grasshopper Legs. Then go to the Thieves Guild in
the Pyramids. Enter the room on the right and talk to the NPC.
Comments: A great skill every Thief should get. Very handy for running away.
Find Stone_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 20
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 2
Level 1 : Picks up a rock on the ground
Instructions: Acquire 1 Bear's Footskin, 1 Zargon, and 5 Spawn. Go to the same
location as the previous NPC to get the skill.
Comments: Useless without Stone Fling, so keep reading. You cannot use this
skill if you are over 50% weight.
Stone Fling____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 20
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 2
Level 1 : Throws a rock at an enemy. Causes 30 Damage, 5% chance to stun
Instructions: 2 Garlet and 2 Scell are all that are needed. Go to the same
place as the other NPCs to get the skill.
Comments: Mildly useful. Mostly for getting an enemies attention from far
away. Not worth your time unless you're bored though.
Sand Attack____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Job Level 25
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 9
Level 1 : Throws sand at an enemy. Does 125% damage with earth element. 15%
chance to blind target
Instructions: Get 5 Fine Grits, 1 Cobweb, 1 Snail's Shell, 1 Cactus Needle, 1
Earthworm Peeling. Go to the same place as the other quests. Talk to the NPC.
He will take your 5 Fine Grits and tell you to go to Payon. Go to the west
side of town and find the NPC. Give him the other items, then go back to the
NPC in the Pyramids to get the skill.
Comments: Blind is pretty much worthless. You already more or less do 125%
damage with Double Attack. Might be mildly useful against Wind Enemies, but
its semi-high SP cost is too much for a Thief. Verdict: Crap.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assassin Skills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katar Mastery__________________________________________________________________

Level 5 : ATK +15
Level 6 : ATK +18
Level 7 : ATK +21
Level 8 : ATK +24
Level 9 : ATK +27
Level 10: ATK +30
Comments: Max it if you're going to use a Katar. Otherwise don't. I'm
starting to sound like a broken record.
Left Hand Mastery______________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 2 Right Hand Mastery
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 40% Damage
Level 2 : 50% Damage
Level 3 : 60% Damage
Level 4 : 70% Damage

SP Use: None
Level 1 : 60% Damage
Level 2 : 70% Damage
Level 3 : 80% Damage
Level 4 : 90% Damage

Pre-requisites: Level 2 Hiding

Level 1 : 4 second duration, 1 SP per 5 seconds addition SP consumed

Level 8 : 11 second duration, 1 SP per 12 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 9 : 12 second duration, 1 SP per 13 seconds addition SP consumed
Level 10: 13 second duration, 1 SP per 14 seconds addition SP consumed
Comments: This will allow you to move around invisible, as long as you stay
near the walls. You can use skills like Grim Tooth like invisible.
Sonic Blow_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Katar Mastery
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 340% Damage, 12% Chance to Stun, 16 SP Used
Level 2 : 380% Damage, 14% Chance to Stun, 18 SP Used
Level 3 : 420% Damage, 16% Chance to Stun, 20 SP Used

Level 9 : 750% Damage, 28% Chance to Stun, 32 SP Used
Level 10: 800% Damage, 30% Chance to Stun, 34 SP Used
Note: This only works with Katars
Comments: This skill allows you to attack 8 times, very quickly with a Katar.
It's really the only good Assassin active skill, so it's a good idea to master
it.
Grim Tooth_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 2 Cloaking, Level 5 Sonic Blow
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 2
Level 1 : 3 Square Range
Level 2 : 4 Square Range
Level 3 : 5 Square Range
Level 4 : 6 Square Range
Level 5 : 7 Square Range
Comments: This skill allows you to attack enemies while cloaked. Remember, you
cannot move off the wall else you become visible again.
Enchant Poison_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Envenom
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 20
Level 1 : 30 Second Duration, 3% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 2 : 45 Second Duration, 3% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 3 : 60 Second Duration, 4% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 4 : 75 Second Duration, 4% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 5 : 90 Second Duration, 5% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 6 : 105 Second Duration, 5% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 7 : 120 Second Duration, 6% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 8 : 135 Second Duration, 6% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 9 : 150 Second Duration, 7% Chance to Poison the enemy
Level 10: 165 Second Duration, 7% Chance to Poison the enemy
Comments: This will give the target weapon a Poison Attribute for a period of
time. Hey, it can be fun...
Poison React___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 3 Enchant Poison
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 30 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 2 : 30 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 3 : 27 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 4 : 27 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 5 : 24 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 6 : 24 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 7 : 21 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 8 : 21 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 9 : 18 SP per use, 30 second duration
Level 10: 18 SP per use, 30 second duration
Comments: Counters with a poison attack when you get hit, upon which the skill
is cancelled. Not a bad skill, but not a great one either.
Venom Dust_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Enchant Poison
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 20, 1 Red Gemstone
Level 1 : 5 Second Duration
Level 2 : 10 Second Duration
Level 3 : 15 Second Duration
Level 4 : 20 Second Duration
Level 5 : 25 Second Duration
Level 6 : 30 Second Duration
Level 7 : 35 Second Duration
Level 8 : 40 Second Duration
Level 9 : 45 Second Duration
Level 10: 50 Second Duration
Comments: Spreads poison dust in a 3x3 cross. Any enemy that touches this
dust is poisoned. It would be a good skill on its own, but the Red Gem
requirement makes this one way to difficult to use.
Venom Splasher_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Poison React, Level 5 Venom Dust
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 220% Damage, 33 SP Used
Level 2 : 240% Damage, 36 SP Used
Level 3 : 260% Damage, 39 SP Used
Level 4 : 280% Damage, 42 SP Used
Level 5 : 300% Damage, 45 SP Used
Level 6 : 320% Damage, 48 SP Used
Level 7 : 340% Damage, 51 SP Used
Level 8 : 360% Damage, 54 SP Used
Level 9 : 380% Damage, 57 SP Used
Level 10: 400% Damage, 60 SP Used
Comments: Cool! Basically, turns enemies into walking poison time bombs.
Weaken an enemy first, and then when they are a little above 1/3rd HP, use
this skill to damage them to under 1/3rd. If they are not under 1/3rd, this
skill will put a timer above their heads. If they are hit during this time,
the skill is cancelled. If the poison damages them to under 1/3rd HP, they
explode. If not, the skill fails. When the enemies do explode, 25% of the
damage its taken from you will spread around them in a 3x3 area, and poison
other monsters in the area. Whew. It has a high SP cost, but its fun.

Rogue Skills
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Since the Graffiti skills are not working yet, I have left them out.
1-handed Sword Mastery_________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : ATK +4
Level 2 : ATK +8
Level 3 : ATK +12
Level 4 : ATK +16
Level 5 : ATK +20
Level 6 : ATK +24
Level 7 : ATK +28
Level 8 : ATK +32
Level 9 : ATK +36
Level 10: ATK +40
Comments: Same as the Swordsman's skill, improves damage with Swords and
Daggers. You'll want to max this.
Vulture's Eye__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: None
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : +1 Bow Range, +1 HIT
Level 2 : +2 Bow Range, +2 HIT
Level 3 : +3 Bow Range, +3 HIT
Level 4 : +4 Bow Range, +4 HIT
Level 5 : +5 Bow Range, +5 HIT
Level 6 : +6 Bow Range, +6 HIT
Level 7 : +7 Bow Range, +7 HIT
Level 8 : +8 Bow Range, +8 HIT
Level 9 : +9 Bow Range, +9 HIT
Level 10: +10 Bow Range, +10 HIT
Comments: Just like the Archer's skill. You'll definently want this if you're
going to use a bow.
Double Strafing________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 10 Vulture's Eye
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15
Level 1 : 200% Damage
Level 2 : 220% Damage
Level 3 : 240% Damage
Level 4 : 260% Damage
Level 5 : 280% Damage
Level 6 : 300% Damage
Level 7 : 320% Damage
Level 8 : 340% Damage
Level 9 : 360% Damage
Level 10: 380% Damage
Comments: Just like the Archer's skill. Again, if you're going to use a bow,
get it.
Stalk__________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Hiding
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: ???
Level 1 : Movement slowed greatly
Level 2 : Movement slowed somewhat
Level 3 : Movement slowed
Level 4 : Movement slightly slowed
Level 5 : Movement barely slowed
Comments: Allows you to move while hiding. Not all that great IMO, but it's
not like you have any other vital skills to get.
Gank___________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Steal
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 7% Chance to use Steal
Level 2 : 8% Chance to use Steal
Level 3 : 10% Chance to use Steal
Level 4 : 11% Chance to use Steal
Level 5 : 13% Chance to use Steal
Level 6 : 14% Chance to use Steal
Level 7 : 16% Chance to use Steal
Level 8 : 17% Chance to use Steal
Level 9 : 19% Chance to use Steal
Level 10: 20% Chance to use Steal
Comments: This is the best skill a Rogue has, hands down. Maxed, you have a
20% chance to use Steal each time you hit. Since you're going to be hitting
most enemies 5 times or more anyway, you have a very good chance to steal an
item from them. You can only steal 1 per monster, however. Still, this will
REALLY increase the amount of loot you get. A must have.
Mug____________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 15 SP
Level 1 : 1% Chance to steal
Level 2 : 2% Chance to steal
Level 3 : 3% Chance to steal
Level 4 : 4% Chance to steal
Level 5 : 5% Chance to steal
Level 6 : 6% Chance to steal
Level 7 : 7% Chance to steal
Level 8 : 8% Chance to steal
Level 9 : 9% Chance to steal
Level 10: 10% Chance to steal
Note: Skill Level, DEX, LUK, Base, and Job level also play a part in success
rates
Comments: Steals zeny from monsters. You can only steal zeny from them once,
however you can steal zeny and an item from the same monster. It has a
pretty low success rate, but the zeny is kind of nice. On average, it's
about 1k, though that will vary greatly depending on what kind of monster
your fighting.
Haggle_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 1 Slyness
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : 9% Discount from NPCs
Level 2 : 13% Discount from NPCs
Level 3 : 17% Discount from NPCs
Level 4 : 21% Discount from NPCs
Level 5 : 25% Discount from NPCs
Comments: It doesn't take a genius to figure out this gives 1% more DC than
the Merchant skill. Since most people already have Merchants, its not too
big of a deal. Generally at that high of a level, you don't buy from NPCs
aside from pots. If you really really want to save a few zeny per pot, go
ahead and get it.
Intimidate_____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Snatch
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : Level 1 of the skill can be used
Level 2 : Level 2 of the skill can be used
Level 3 : Level 3 of the skill can be used
Level 4 : Level 4 of the skill can be used
Level 5 : Level 5 of the skill can be used
Level 6 : Level 6 of the skill can be used
Level 7 : Level 7 of the skill can be used
Level 8 : Level 8 of the skill can be used
Level 9 : Level 9 of the skill can be used
Level 10: Level 10 of the skill can be used
Comments: Remembers the last skill the enemy used on you and allows you to use
it on them. Not really all that useful except in PvP, and even then, the
skills used wouldn't be too useful to a Rogue.
Sightless Mind_________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 2 Stalk, Level 2 Back Stab
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 20
Level 1 : 140% Damage, 13% Chance to Blind, 13% Chance to Stun
Level 2 : 180% Damage, 16% Chance to Blind, 16% Chance to Stun
Level 3 : 220% Damage, 19% Chance to Blind, 19% Chance to Stun
Level 4 : 260% Damage, 22% Chance to Blind, 22% Chance to Stun
Level 5 : 300% Damage, 25% Chance to Blind, 25% Chance to Stun
Note: Only usable when Hiding. Use of the skill cancels hide status
Comments: It has a 3x3 area of effect. Not very useful except for mobs, in
which case you should probably run. Still, the only anti-mob skill for
Thieves.
Snatch_________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Sightless Mind, Level 4 Back Stab
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 130% Damage, 13 SP Used
Level 2 : 160% Damage, 16 SP Used
Level 3 : 190% Damage, 19 SP Used
Level 4 : 220% Damage, 21 SP Used
Level 5 : 250% Damage, 24 SP Used
Note: Success rate depends on the level difference between the user and the
enemy
Comments: Warps you and the monster you are fighting to a random location and
damages him. Not usable on MVP monsters. If you're going to get this, only
get it to level 1 - SP usage increases with each level, and the damage boost
isn't all that great - save that SP for Back Stab instead. This could be very
useful on Mini-bosses. I just hope it isn't expoited to KS.
Back Stab______________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank, Level 4 Mug
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 16
Level 1 : 340% Damage
Level 2 : 380% Damage
Level 3 : 420% Damage
Level 4 : 460% Damage
Level 5 : 500% Damage
Level 6 : 540% Damage
Level 7 : 580% Damage
Level 8 : 620% Damage
Level 9 : 660% Damage
Level 10: 700% Damage
Comments: I have to say, aside from Gank, this is the essential Rogue skill.
It does unbeleivable amounts of damage. You definently want this.
Divest Helm____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank, Level 4 Mug
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 7% Chance of Success, 17 SP Used
Level 2 : 9% Chance of Success, 19 SP Used
Level 3 : 11% Chance of Success, 21 SP Used
Level 4 : 13% Chance of Success, 23 SP Used
Level 5 : 15% Chance of Success, 25 SP Used
Note: DEX and the level difference of the user and target effect the
success rate as well.
Comments: Against players, this removes their helmet. It cannot be equiped
for a period of time. Against monsters, it reduces their DEF by 10%. Get it
for PvP, or if you're REALLY into MVPing.
Divest Shield__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank, Level 4 Mug, Level 5 Divest Helm
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 7% Chance of Success, 17 SP Used
Level 2 : 9% Chance of Success, 19 SP Used
Level 3 : 11% Chance of Success, 21 SP Used
Level 4 : 13% Chance of Success, 23 SP Used
Level 5 : 15% Chance of Success, 25 SP Used
Note: DEX and the level difference of the user and target effect the
success rate as well.
Comments: Against players, this removes their shield. It cannot be equiped
for a period of time. Against monsters, it reduces their DEF by 10%. Get it
for PvP, or if you're REALLY into MVPing.
Divest Armor___________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank, Level 4 Mug, Level 5 Divest Helm, Level 5 Divest
Shield
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 7% Chance of Success, 17 SP Used
Level 2 : 9% Chance of Success, 19 SP Used
Level 3 : 11% Chance of Success, 21 SP Used
Level 4 : 13% Chance of Success, 23 SP Used
Level 5 : 15% Chance of Success, 25 SP Used
Note: DEX and the level difference of the user and target effect the
success rate as well.
Comments: Against players, this removes their armor. It cannot be equiped
for a period of time. Against monsters, it reduces their DEF by 10%. Get it
for PvP, or if you're REALLY into MVPing.
Divest Weapon__________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 4 Gank, Level 4 Mug, Level 5 Divest Helm, Level 5 Divest
Shield
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: Varying SP Use
Level 1 : 7% Chance of Success, 17 SP Used
Level 2 : 9% Chance of Success, 19 SP Used
Level 3 : 11% Chance of Success, 21 SP Used
Level 4 : 13% Chance of Success, 23 SP Used
Level 5 : 15% Chance of Success, 25 SP Used
Note: DEX and the level difference of the user and target effect the
success rate as well.
Comments: Against players, this removes their weapon. It cannot be equiped
for a period of time. Against monsters, it reduces their ATK by 10%. By far
the best of the Divest skills, because aside from Mages and Acolytes, any
class without their weapon is pretty much useless.
Slyness________________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Divest Shield Level 3
Active or Passive?: Passive
SP Use: None
Level 1 : When 2 Rogues sit next to each other, aggro monsters do not attack
Note: Does not work on Insect, Demon, or MVP monsters
Comments: Damn cool! Nice for people who like to go AFK. It has really high
pre-reqs though.
Remove Trap____________________________________________________________________
Pre-requisites: Level 5 Double Strafing
Active or Passive?: Active
SP Use: 5
Level 1 : Removes a trap
Comments: Well, it could be a little useful in PvP, I guess. Or you can use
it to be a jerk in PvM.

Since Rogues have so many PvP skills, why not make a PvP build? This could
change a bit once the graffiti skills are working, so you can stir up some
trouble.

[XIII] Archer/Hunter/Bard/Dancer
===============================================================================
The Archer is a class designed to deliver high damage at long range. The idea
is to kill the enemy before they even get near you to attack. Because of this,
your defense is very very low. With little AGI and no VIT to support you,
you'll be in trouble if an enemy gets in melee range. The Archer however, is
designed to kick ass with the correct gear. But using up arrows greatly
hinders the money making process, so you definently want to make this a second
character.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming an Archer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing to an Archer works a bit like the Thief quest. You need to accumulate
Trunks, which you can get from Willows. Willows don't spawn around Prontera or
Morroc, so if you're by one of those cities, you might as well go to Payon.
Willows drop 4 kinds of trunks. Trunks are worth 7 points. Fine-Grained are
worth 5 points. Solid are worth 3. Finally, Barren are worth 1. You need 25
points in order to pass. If you get any additional points, they are given to
you as extra arrows. You will get a bow and some arrows when you pass. And
like all first jobs, you need to be Job level 10. The guild is located 1 map
north of Payon, in the northeast.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Hunter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to Payon. Go east, south, east. There's a NPC you need to find here.
He's on the bluff, towards the north part of it in the middle. Talk to him to
go to the hunter guild.
Start off by talking to the NPC behind the desk. She will ask you some simple
questions. If you get them wrong, you can just talk to her again. After
completing this, go west. Talk to the NPC here, who will have you gather some
simple items. Do so and return. You'll be told to find the senior hunter.
He is in Payon, at the Archer guild, though i've heard he can be in the palace
as well. Find him regardless, and go to the test room.
Inside here, you will have to kill the monster called "Job Change Monster".
If you kill any others, you will fail. You must kill 4 of these Job Change
Monsters. Also, if you step in the water, you fail, so walk carefully. After
killing the 4, all monsters will disappear. Go north and activate the exit
switch. Then go to the exit towards the middle.
Finally, return to the hunter guild and change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Bard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, if you have 60 Trunks you will receive a free musical instrument
upon changing. Regardless, you'll have to go to Comodo to start the job change
process. Talk to the Wandering Bard next to the Kapra. He will ask you to go
get an item for him. Get that item, then go to Lutie. To get there, first go
to Al De Baren. Go to the northeast corner and talk to Santa. He will
teleport you to Lutie field. Go north to the town. Find the talking Snow Man.
Then go to the building in the north/northeast and talk to the NPC there. Exit
the building, and do the same to the NPC in the north/northwest. Return to the
talking Snow Man. Go BACK to the north/northeast, though a little south of
where you went earlier. Talk to the NPC in there. Move to the center of town
and enter the building to the west, and talk to the NPC. Remember this place,
you'll return shortly.
Exit and talk to the Snow Man, and then return to the building west of the
center of town. Then leave and go back to the center, and talk to the Clown.
Finally talk to the 2 little kids to the east, who should give you an item.
FINALLY return to the NPC in Comodo. Type whatever is highlighted in blue.
After long last, you'll become a Bard.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Dancer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a Dancer is a lot less complex, but also a bit more difficult. Go to
Comodo, in particular the Comodo theatre. Talk to the NPC there, who will tell
you to collect a few items. They're not that difficult to get, so acquire them
and return.
After collecting the items, the NPC will tell you to talk to another NPC
nearby. He will quiz you. Simply answer his questions to proceed.
Now you get to take the dancing test. It's pretty self explana | | | | |
