=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I. Revisions =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 8.01.02 - Added Another Assassin Skill Build, Various spelling fixes, and added Assassin Equipment. Tweaked Equipment. 7.28.02 - First Production. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= II. Introduction =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Think your tough enough to be a thief? Well, here you can find out just that. T hieves are some of the fastest hitting people in RO. They also evade attacks from their current enemie s. High level thieves will dish out large amount of damage in a short time without getting hit. The thief is also very versatile, able to use swords, daggers, and bows.

This document will help you through the troubles of leveling your thief and unde rstand what your doing. Thieves are very rewarding and nothing is more exciting then seeing yourself des troy your enemy in five seconds without taking a single hit. Let's get started on your journey. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= III. Novice Training =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A novice thief has a relatively easy time leveling up. The ideal starting stats are: STR AGI VIT INT DEX LUK 9 9 1 1 9 1

As a novice, stick to fighting porings, fabres, lunatics, and pickys. Later on before you change jobs, you migth be able to take on condors and willows. It is best you train 1 N of Morro c because you will change jobs here. Some other good areas are: Geffen: Out East Gate Prontera: Out South & East Gate Payon: Out South Gate Alberta: Out West Gate Morroc: Out North Gate =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IV. Becoming A Thief =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The quest to become a thief has changed dramaticaly. It is much different now s o listen up. The first change is that there is now a quest. The thief guild is located in the basements of the pyramids. Getting there is s traightforward, but but will be dangerous because of the aggressive monsters in the maze. The porta l is in the northwest corner of Morroc and the Pyramid is in the northwest corner of that map. ~QUEST~ It will be required that you bring back two different types of mushrooms to the guild. This is one of the easier quests. After you talk to the Thief NPC, leave the pyramid and return to the field you used to enter the pyramid. You'll notice a large pond in the middle. There is an NPC o n the right side of the pond that you need to talk to. He'll take you to the Mushroom Dungeon. The tim

e it takes to collect two mushrooms varies from person to person. The mushrooms have 15hp. If you at tack without a weapon, you will attack faster. *Warning* There are aggressive monsters in the a rea. After you have collected the mushrooms, take them back to the NPC to receive your award. Congratulations!!!! You are now a thief! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= V. Thief Builds =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *Agility Thief* This build is the most common. I'm sure most people will tell you to stick with this in some way. 10 10 30 20 50 20 60 100 100 30 STR DEX AGI STR AGI DEX STR AGI STR DEX

*NOTE* When It Refers to 20 STR, It means raise STR to 20, not add 20 points to STR. Also, It includes bonuses, so 20 STR=17+3 not 20+3. This is the only build I'm familiar with, so It's the only one I can offer such an exact path to follow. Another Variation is instead of Maxing AGI to 100, LUK 20 can be achieved. *Vitality Thief* I think weggy did say it best, "If you want to pump vit, go with a Swordie. But if you insist...." 10 10 25 15 35 20 20 60 30 80 25 40 100 40 100 STR DEX VIT DEX VIT STR DEX VIT STR VIT DEX STR VIT DEX STR

*Dexterity Thief* This buils is almost exactly like an archer. They use a bow and pump dex to hig h amounts. 39 DEX 20 AGI 48 DEX 30 AGI 58 DEX 40 AGI 80 DEX 70 AGI 98 DEX 99 AGI 10 LUK =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= VI. Equipment =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Weapon: Cutter - Dirk - Damascus - Grimtooth Shield: Guard - Buckler Armor : Leather Jacket - Mantle - Ninja Suit (Thief Clothes If You Will Not Get 50th) Helmet: Hat - Sakkat - Feather Bonnet/Angel Band Head MId - Sunglasses - Binoculars/Phantom of Opera Head Lower - Beard - Iron Cain Robe : Hood - Manteau - Cape'o'Old Marquess Shoes : Sandals - Boots Accessories: 2 Brooch(Agi Thief), 2 Glove(Dex Thief), 2 Necklace(Vit Thief) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= VII. Thief Skills =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *Double Attack Pre-requisites: None Active or Passive?: Passive SP Use: None Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10: 5% to double attack 10% to double attack 15% to double attack 20% to double attack 25% to double attack 30% to double attack 35% to double attack 40% to double attack 45% to double attack 50% to double attack

Weggy's Comments: This skill only works with a Knife weapon. It is a fantastic s kill, 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. My Comment: This is your first essential skill as a thief. Max this first for a huge diffrence in fighting time. *Increase Dodge Pre-requisites: None Active or Passive?: Passive SP Use: None Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10: Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee Flee increased increased increased increased increased increased increased increased increased increased by by by by by by by by by by 3% 6% 9% 12% 15% 18% 21% 24% 27% 30%

Weggy's Comments: A very useful skill, since your flee is how often you dodge. Y ou should get the skill after double attack though, since it works on percentages. My Comment: The other essential skill for a thief, Increase Dodge will give you that extra %flee that keeps you from getting hit. Max it right after Double Slash. *Envenom Pre-requisites: None Active or Passive?: Active SP Use: 15 SP Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10: 115% 130% 145% 160% 175% 190% 205% 220% 235% 250% Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage Damage

Note: Again, thanks to Node for this Envenom info. Weggy's Comments: This skill is basically the Thief's bash. It seems a bit weake r, but has more range than Bash. It also uses the poison attribute, so it may be more effective or le ss effective against certain enemies. In Beta 1, this skill isn't as useful since all enemies either have res istances to poison or neutral - none are weak to it. My Comment: All thought not as strong as the Swordman's Bash, this skill will h elp you quickly

eliminate mobs that are on you in Dungeons. *Steal Pre-requisites: None Active or Passive?: Active SP Use: 20 SP Each level increases your chance to steal, but the exact amount is unknown Weggy's Comments: If you don't go with Envenom, you can use your SP to get some extra items by stealing them. Steal also works better if the enemy is standing still. finally, Steal does not effect the monster's drops. It is just a randomly selected item the enemy could drop that y ou get. Enemies also do not get angry when you steal from them. My Comment: This skill can steal you some great items without taking the hours w ith hand-to-hand combat. I'm not so fond of the skill, but there's nowhere else to put skill poin ts. *Hide Pre-requisites: Steal Lv5 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use: 10 to Hide, SP drained while hiding - less is drained based on Hide Lvl Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10: 30 seconds 60 seconds 90 seconds 120 seconds 150 seconds 180 seconds 210 seconds 240 seconds 270 seconds 300 seconds

Note: Again I must thank Node for this info. Oi, I'm starting to become a broken record. Weggy's Comments: This can be used for 2 reasons: Escape from a mob of angry agg ressives. This is great for a Thief since AGI does NOT do well against many enemies at once. It a lso 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 b ack, and laugh at them. Serves the jerks right... My Comment: weggy could not have said it better, this is a great escape tool. Wo rks against most creatures. *Detoxify Pre-requisites: Evenom Lv3 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use: ?

Unknown At This Time Weggy's Comment: There is also a skill called Detoxify, which will cure poision. Since status changes are not implimented yet, don't bother. Even after it is, don't bother, since Green H erbs are a fairly common drop. My Comment: Put 1 point into detoxify for your last job point before job change. *Thief Skills Build* 10 10 10 7 2 1 Double Slash Increased Dodge Evenom Steal Hiding Detoxify

Assassin =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= IX. Job Lvl. 40: Thief to Assassin =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The change to your second class job is very easy because it doesn't require you to do a quest. Not yet anyways. The Assassin Guild is located in its own Temple/Pyramid southeast of M orroc. From Morroc, go south, south, east, then east once more. I suggest you avoid fighting the Ho des, and stick to the Anacondas or else your trip will end quick. Bring a Knife and 666 Zeny for absol utely no reason. Inside the Temple follow the portals to the room with the 2 NPCs in it. This is important, GO TO THE GUY ON YOUR LEFT!!! Not your characters left. He will be the Assassin Clan Memb er. Do not go to the Clanmaster. This can be confusing, but it is very annoying. Congratulation s, Your an Assassin!!! Sit down, it will take a long time to gain all of that new HP.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= X. Assassin Builds =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There are THREE types of builds for an Assassin, The Dagger Build, Katar Build, and the Dagger/Sword build. If you want to use Sonic Blow I suggest you go with the Katar Build. Dagger Build uses two daggers, I hope you will be using 2x Damascus or 2xUpgrade d/Slotted Stilletos I haven't personally tested this build, but it works extremely well if you have a lot of strength. It is really worth it if you have no plans of using sonic blow. Katar Build uses a type of katar which consists of two blades. I currently use this build and the movement of Katar is extremely fast compared to that of daggers. If you really want Soni c Blow then become a Katar Master. Dagger/Sword combo is used to deal out damage to all the types of monsters you f ight. I have not seen this yet, but I have heard it works very well. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= XI.

Comment: It is said this skill is only useful if you plan on using 2x Dagger to restore your attack power, however I have noticed a difference with it on my Katar Assassin. You be the j udge. *LeftHand Mastery Pre-requisites: None Active or Passive?: Passive SP Use?: None Level Level Level Level Level 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: Attack Attack Attack Attack Attack STR STR STR STR STR 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%

If you plan on being a dagger assassin ignore this skill all together. *Sonic Blow Pre-requisites: Katar Mastery Lv4 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Increase Katar Attack Speed. Eight Attacks In a Row followed by Regular Katar At tack Comment: This skill had a huge hype, but it is not as good at it was before we got Beta2. It is very weak at lower levels and only able to see a large difference at Lv10. *Enchant Poison Pre-requisites: Evenom Lv1 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Enchant Players Weapon With Poison Property

Comment: Useful skill if you plan on attacking monsters that are weak to poison. *Cloaking Pre-requisites: Hiding Lv2 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Allows you to move in Invisible Status only while clinging to a wall Comment: Doesn't Seem to useful unless you want to scare your friends silly.

Cannot Attack over distance. Comment: Usefull skill for after you dodge the mob chasing you. Why not Reek Sh adow havoc on them? *Poison React Pre-requisites: Enchant Poison Lv3 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Player Enabled to Counter for One Hit after being poisoned Comment: Not very useful since monsters do not have poison attributes yet. *Venom Dust Pre-requisites: Enchant Poison Lv5 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Spread Poison on Chosen Place Requires Red Gemstone Comment: I like the sound of this skill. It's like Anthrax RO Style. Worth th e few points. Just need a Red Gemstone. *Venom Splasher Pre-requisites: Poison Reacting Lv5 and Venom Dust Lv5 Active or Passive?: Active SP Use?: ? Make the enemy contagious by Poison and Exploded to Take Damages around.But Only applicable for the Situation when the Poisoned Enemy have HP at least by 1/3.
