TL;DR
  • 1st job at level 8 in Ellinia, with Grendel the Really Old.
  • Main stat INT. LUK only to wear your gear.
  • Three paths: Fire/Poison, Ice/Lightning, Cleric.
  • Max your area spell first: at 10x EXP, kill speed is everything.
  • At 4th job, talk to Gritto twice: he teaches 2-3 extra skills.

Wanted everywhereEvery PQ and boss party wants Heal and Holy Symbol.
No ammoOnly MP potions to buy, and Infinity removes that at 4th job.

1. Job advancements

Job Level Where Talk to
1st 8 Ellinia Grendel the Really Old
2nd 30 Ellinia, then the test map Grendel the Really Old
3rd 70 El Nath Robeira
4th 120 Leafre Gritto

How the tests work

Take the letter to the test NPC, collect 30 Dark Marbles, and bring the Proof of a Hero back.

Two tests. Strength: beat a clone of your first instructor in a hidden passage on Victoria Island (they tell you where). Wisdom: answer the Holy Stone's quiz near El Nath (it takes 1 Dark Crystal). Bring both necklaces to Robeira. Spend your 2nd-job SP first: Robeira only lets you keep SP from levels after 70.

Robeira writes you a letter for Gritto in Leafre. Finish his quest, then advance. You get the Maple Warrior skill book on the spot.

5. 4th job on this server

4th-job skills stop at their master level until you read a book. Your SP piles up until then; that's normal.

  1. Talk to Gritto twiceAfter advancing, pick "Teach me the skills of my class". He sets 2-3 more skills to master level 10.
  2. Skill booksAngel Ray (Zakum, Papulatus, Pianus) and Infinity (Grim Phantom Watch in Forbidden Time). Untradeable: loot your own.
  3. Mastery booksRaise a skill to 20, then 30. They drop from bosses and Leafre and Temple of Time monsters.

Where each skill comes from

Paralyze, Big Bang, Mana Reflection: level 10 when you advance. Meteor Shower, Elquines: Gritto's second talk. Infinity: skill book. Fire Demon: the Lava Bottle item. Hero's Will: quest "Regained Will Power".

Chain Lightning, Big Bang, Mana Reflection: level 10 when you advance. Blizzard, Ifrit, Ice Demon: Gritto's second talk. Infinity: skill book. Hero's Will: quest "Regained Will Power".

Holy Shield, Big Bang, Mana Reflection: level 10 when you advance. Genesis, Resurrection: Gritto's second talk. Angel Ray, Infinity: skill books. Bahamut: Raul the Knight's quest "The Dragon's Guardian" and its follow-ups (up to 30, no books).

Skill Book for 20 Book for 30
Meteor Shower, Blizzard, Genesis Zakum, Pink Bean Horntail, nearly every kill
Paralyze Leviathan Leviathan, Oblivion Monk
Chain Lightning Leviathan, Griffey Leviathan, Skelegon
Infinity Zakum, Papulatus Zakum, Blue Wyvern
