Role
The Assassin is the Thief's second job. Assassins deal melee damage: with a katar (an extra hit and double critical chance) or two daggers, one in each hand (Righthand Mastery and Lefthand Mastery remove the damage penalty of each hand). Sonic Blow strikes eight times with a katar and stuns; Grimtooth hits an area from Hiding. Poisons: Enchant Poison poisons the weapon, Poison React answers hits, Venom Dust poisons the ground, Venom Splasher blows up a wounded target. Cloaking is invisibility you can walk in. Thief skills stay.
Job change
- Where: the Assassin Guild in Sograt Desert 16 (south-west of Morroc); the entrance is a portal in the north of the field.
- Requirements: a Thief at Job Lv 40 or higher. Spend all skill points on Thief skills: unspent points don't carry over to the second job, and you can't change jobs while you have them.
- Application: fierce Huey at the entrance sends you to Khai. At Job Lv 49 or higher the reward weapon comes with a slot.
- Written test: the Nameless One asks ten questions about monsters, elements and maps; you need more than 80 points. If you fail, Khai tells you where you went wrong.
- Hunt: in 3 minutes kill the six monsters labelled "Job change target" and nothing else. The floor has traps, and a mistake sends you back to the start. One candidate hunts at a time; the rest wait.
- Stealth passage: walk the corridor of mummies and hydras to Barcardi without killing anything.
- Maze and interview: two rounds of the maze, then the Guildmaster's questions. The reward is a weapon and a
Necklace of Oblivion; take it to Huey.
The quest log walks you through every step and shows who to go to.
Stats
| Main | Extra |
|---|---|
| AGI, STR | DEX; LUK for criticals |
AGI gives attack speed and dodge (Improve Dodge gives an Assassin 4 FLEE per level), STR damage, DEX accuracy. A katar suits a LUK critical build: its critical chance is doubled.
Tips
- The Skills window of a second job has "First" and "Second" tabs.
- A second dagger goes to the off hand instead of a shield. A katar takes both hands: it removes the second weapon and the shield.
- Venom Dust and Venom Splasher use
Red Gemstone. Splasher only goes on a target with three quarters of its HP
or less. - Grimtooth only works from Hiding, and Cloaking at levels 1–2 holds only next to a wall.
- Quest skills are taught in the guild: Throw Venom Knife by Killtin, Sonic Acceleration by Esmille (needs
Sonic Blow and one of the jewels from the Sphinx dungeon or the pyramid crypt). The Crypt Merchant there sells
Venom Knife; equip them in the arrow slot.
