Role

The Crusader is the Swordman's second job: a holy warrior with a shield who takes the hits and covers the party. Auto Guard sometimes blocks a blow with the shield, Reflect Shield returns part of melee damage, Defender weakens ranged attacks. Holy Cross and Grand Cross strike with holy power — especially painful for undead and demons — and Grand Cross hurts the Crusader too. Devotion takes the damage of nearby party members, Providence protects others from holy attacks and demons. The Crusader also learns Acolyte skills — Heal, Cure, Divine Protection, Demon Bane — and can ride a Peco Peco. Swordman skills stay.

Job change

  • Where: Prontera Castle — the senior crusader Michael Halig takes the application.
  • Requirements: Swordman Job Lv 40 or higher. Spend all skill points on Swordman skills: unspent points are not carried over to the second job, and the job can't be changed with them.
  • Trophies: Michael asks for 10 of each item of one of three random sets: Decayed Nail, Stinky Scale, Worn-out Prison Uniform and Daenggie; or Skel-Bone, Orc Claw, Manacles and Short Daenggie; or Horrendous Mouth, Rotten Bandage, Lantern and Jack o' Pumpkin. Chivalry Emblem and Hand of God can replace the set.
  • Endurance test: the man in anguish in the castle sends you to a corridor — wear a Rosary. Walk to the end without killing anything: kill a monster and the test fails.
  • Quiz: the crusader Gabriel in Prontera Cathedral asks 10 questions about undead, demons or skills — 90 points needed, 80 on a retake.
  • Purification test: the patron knight Bliant in the castle takes a Holy Water (a Rosary is needed too) and sends you to the arena. Defeat 10 undead in the corridor within 4 minutes, then the Ghoul — the exit opens. One candidate at a time; the others wait in the waiting room.
  • Reward: 6 White Potion (12 at Job Lv 50) and the Crusader job — again from Michael.

The quest log guides you through every step and shows whom to visit.

VIT, STR INT, DEX

VIT — HP and defence, STR — damage, INT — Grand Cross and Heal power, DEX — hit.

Peco Peco

  • Rent a Peco Peco from the crusaders' breeder in east Prontera for 3500 zeny — Peco Peco Ride is required.
  • While riding you walk 25 % faster and carry 1000 more, but attack slower. Cavalier Mastery removes the slowdown.
  • Dismount with the button in the equipment window.

Tips

  • Auto Guard, Shield Charge, Shield Boomerang, Reflect Shield, Defender and Shrink need a shield, Spear Quicken — a two-handed spear.
  • Shield Boomerang damage depends on the shield's weight and refine.
  • Devotion works on your party: up to 5 players nearby, level difference no more than 10. Walk farther than 7–11 cells and the protection ends.
  • The quest skill Shrink comes from Ford in Geffen: help a wounded soldier in the Geffen fields and bring the antidote materials to Father Arthur in Prontera Cathedral.
