A: Credits ****************************************************************************** ~~~~~ 1. A) Dice Roll ~~~~~ The most important stat for a thief is LUK for attack power. The next important stat is DEX. DEX is used for clothing, accuracy and avoidability. So, what are perfect stats? The stats you don't use are STR and INT. So you want them to be as low as possible. That would be: 4. So keep rolling the dice until you'll get: STR: 4 DEX: # INT: 4 LUK: # If you think it takes to long to get this, you can also keep rolling until you get something like: STR: 5 DEX: # INT: 4 LUK: # Or something like that. Don't let the STR or INT get any higher as 5! ~~~~~ 1. B) Leveling ~~~~~ When you level, you'll get 5 Ability Points. The first thing you need, for getting your first job as a thief, will be 25 DEX. So start adding all AP (Ability Points) to DEX until its 25. When your DEX reaches 25, you can start adding AP to LUK to increase your attack power. When you reach level 10, your stats would be like this: STR: 4 DEX: 25 INT: 4 LUK: 37 So how do you know where to put your stats on after reaching level 10? Well, thats pretty easy to understand. DEX should be twice your level. LUK will get the rest of the stats. An example: Level 10 = 25 DEX (because the first job requirement) Level 15 = 30 DEX Level 20 = 40 DEX Level 50 = 100 DEX Get it? Oh, and the max DEX you should have would be: 220. Because the highest level clothing is 110. So when you reach level 111, just put al your stats on LUK. ~~~~~ 1. C) Maple Island ~~~~~ After your done creating your character you will start on a island called "Maple Island". This will be your first training ground. Your first enemy will be the Tutorial monsters. You could train there if you want, but I recommend going outside. Start killing green, blue and red snails until you reach like level 7 or 8. Once you've reached level 7/8 you can start doing quests. I'll give a list with names of quests that are usefull in the next chapter. Once you've completed all usefull quests and you still didn't reach level 10, you could kill some Orange Mushrooms. Once you've reached level 10, its time for you to get to Vitoria Island! Head to Southperry and pay Shanks 150 mesos to get to Lith Harbour! ~~~~~ 1. D) Usefull Quests (List) ~~~~~ / Maple Island Nina and Sen's Diner Menu Roger's Apple Todd's How-To-Hunt Sam's Suggestion Pleace bring this letter to Lucas Rain's Maple Quiz Pio's Collection Recycle Goods Pio and the Recycling Mai's Training [Under level 7] Big's Collection of Items ~~~~~ 2. A) First Job Advancement ~~~~~ Once you reached Victoria Island, it's time for you to get your first job as a Rogue! Once you're in Lith Harbour, head East and find Phil. Talk to him and let him bring you to Kerning City. This is where you will become a Rogue! Once in Kerning City, head East until you find somebody called "Mong from Kong". In front of him you will see some text "fusion bar jazz". Below it there is a door.Enter that door. You'll see that you came into some bar. Now walk to the left and go down the toilet, Hey a secret room! Now talk to Dark Lord. He will make you your first Job as a Rogue. Always accept the Training Quests you get from the first job instructors, they are very handy! After you became a Rogue you will get 1 SP (Skill Point). I will tell you where to put it in the next chapter. You will also need a claw and some stars. You can buy/recharge stars in the Potion Shop. It's near the Fusion Bar. You can get the claw in te weapon shop. Head West for it. Also, don't waste any money on the level 10 clothes. Just buy a Garnier (level 10 claw). ~~~~~ 2. B) Skill Points ~~~~~~ Each time you level up, you will get 3 SP (Skill Points). With these SP you can raise your Skills. Each job has his own skills. But in this guide, we wil take a look at the Rogue Skills.

C) Training ~~~~~ Now it's time for you to start training. First, comeplete the Rogue biginners quests Dark Lord gave you. Start killing Stumps. They are found one map west of Kerning city. Once you've complete the quest, you should get to Henesys. Head east in Kerning City and search for a Taxi. Once in Henesys, head west. In the left corner there will be a portal waiting for you to enter it. The next map will be "Henesys Hunting Ground". A great place for training. I will give you a simple training list. / Level 10 ~ 15 These four levels you want to start easy, and slimes are a great source of EXP on these levels. They are easy to find and easy to kill. The best place to train is on Henesys Hunting Ground. Monster : Slime Map : Henesys Hunting Ground 1 [Platform #1] / Level 15 ~ 20 These four levels you want to get some more EXP. Still stick to Henesys Hunting Ground, just move 1 platform up. Monster : Orange Mushroom Map : Henesys Hunting Ground 1 [Platform #2] / Level 20 ~ 25 Now it's time for you to get to some stronger monster. It's time for the Pig Beach. This is a hidden map so I will explain it a bit. Press W to see the world map. Head 4 maps west with your mouse. You'll see the name "3-Way Road-Split", thats were you want to go. Once you're in the map "3-Way Road-Split" head for the most left Ladder (not rope but ladder, it's easier to explain). Once you've found it, walk some to the right, you'll find some nice yellow flowers. Walk in them and press UP. Hey! Pig Beach! :) Monster : Pig, Ribboned Pig Map : Pig Beach / Level 25 ~ 30 Now you ready for Kerning Party Quest. A great source of EXP and you first real money making. Head for Kerning City and in the middle-left there will almost always be some people calling things like: "J> PQ!", "J> PQ@@@@@@@@@". Thats the place you want to be. I assume you never did a PQ before so ask some people there how it works. Monster : PQ Monsters Map : Kerning City ! DONT FORGET THERE ARE ALWAYS QUESTS WAITING FOR YOU ! ~~~~~ 3. A) Second Job Advancement ~~~~~ Woah, level 30 already? Time for you seconds job as a Assassin! Head for Kerniny City Fusion Bar again. This time you won't get your job as easy as the first time. This time you need to do something for it. Talk to Dark Lord. He will ask you to see the next Job Instructor. Before we go and meet him, make sure you have enough HP/MP pots. Head 2 maps east from Kerning City. At the top there will be your second job instructor. He will ask you to do a test. Collect 30 Dark Marbles. These are dropped by the monsters inside the test room. Once you've all 30 Marbles talk to the second job instructor again. He will send you out with a proof. Bring the proof back to Dark Lord and he will give you your second job, Assassin! ~~~~~ 3.

After that head back to Kerning City and talk to Dark Lord. Now head to Ellinia and talk to the VIP cab. Also make sure you have enough HP/MP potions. The VIP cab will bring you to Ant Tunnel Park. Once there head east until you find a portal. Talk to it. Once in the portal you need to defeat Dark Lord's evil Clone. (Oooh cmon, he isn't that hard!) Once you've killed him, make sure you loot the Black Charm he drops. Now head back to Dark Lord and give him the Charm. He will give you a Necklance of Strength. Go back to El Nath and talk to Arec again.
