You have reached level 30, yippee! Time for the second job advancement! To make the second job advancement, talk to [[Athena Pierce]] in [[Henesys]] and she will pass you a letter for the Bowman Job Instructor. The Job Instructor can be found at the Henesys Dungeon entrance. Before going there, stock up at least 60-70 [[Orange Potion]]s as you will have to pass a test. After talking to the job instructor, you will be teleported to a place like the Ant Tunnel. There are two types of monsters inside: [[Zombie Mushroom]]s and [[Evil Eye|Evil Eyes]] with different characteristics. They hit about 70+ damage on you. Collect 30 [[Dark Marble]]s by defeating these monsters. The drop is about 1 in 3 monsters. After that, talk to the job instructor and you will be awarded a '[[Proof of a Hero]]'. Go back to Henesys and talk to Athena Pierce. Choose the Crossbowman and then confirm your choice. Congratulations! You are now a Crossbowman, and have just proceeded into your second job advancement!
