Chief Bandit/Long
Third Job Introduction
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!
