Chief Bandit/Long

Third Job Introduction

Thief Job Tree, with the Chief Bandit indicated in red.

Finally, you're here! The long awaited 3rd job. You've learned the basics of a Thief, then you've mastered the dagger as a Bandit, and now you're looked at as a pro. The Chief Bandit, like bandits, are very fast and evasive. Chief Bandits are very strong, and have plenty of support and attacking skills.

Job Advancement Procedure

Go to El Nath - Chief Residence and speak to Arec. After talking to Arec, head back to Victoria Island and talk to Dark Lord who is located in Kerning City. Next, find the Door of Dimension located at Monkey Swamp II and it'll bring you to "The Path of the Glittering Crystal". Walk until the end of the path and enter the portal to defeat Dark Lord's dark side to obtain the Black Charm. Return to Dark Lord and exchange the Black Charm for a Necklace of Strength. Return to El Nath after that and give the item to Arec. Head on to the Holy Ground at the Snowfield (Sharp Cliff II). One Dark Crystal is required to answer 5 questions to obtain the Necklace of Wisdom. Again, head back to Arec in El Nath and give him the Necklace of Wisdom. Congratulations, you're a Chief Bandit!

Band of Thieves is a usefull skill when Boss Monsters Summon large amounts of monsters at a time.

Cons

Expensive to maintain. High damage.

End Results

• 30 Assaulter
• 30 Meso Explosion
• 20 Pickpocket
• 30 Band of Thieves
• 20 Meso Guard
• 19 Chakra

Note From A Player: These End Results are incorrect. I don't wish to look through the build for the error, but Chakra should end with a level of 21. Add the numbers up if you must, they only add up to 149, out of a possible 151 Points. 70~>120 is 50 levels. 3 points a level. 3x50=150. You gain 1 skill point when you advance. 150+1=151.
