Status Effects

2026-07-30T08:02:00Z

Admin: add Wither debuff (Venom Coat: -25% MATK, 1% MaxSP/s drain)

'''Status Effects''' are temporary conditions that can be inflicted on your character (or on monsters) during combat. They fall into two groups: classic '''status ailments''' — the well-known conditions that your defensive stats (VIT, LUK, AGI, INT and others) help you resist — and '''debuffs''', a wider set of effects applied by specific skills. Boss-class monsters resist most ailments.

== Status ailments ==

These are the classic conditions. Higher resistance stats lower both their chance to land and their duration, and Boss-class monsters are immune to most of them.

{| class="wikitable"
! Effect !! What it does
|-
| '''Stone''' (Petrify) || Turns you to stone: you cannot move, attack or cast. Lowers your DEF and MDEF and changes your element. Removed when you take a hit.
|-
| '''Petrify (warning)''' || The brief countdown before turning to stone — during it you cannot attack or cast.
|-
| '''Freeze''' || Frozen solid: you cannot move, attack or cast. Lowers DEF and MDEF and leaves you vulnerable. Removed when you take a hit.
|-
| '''Stun''' || Stunned: you cannot move, attack or cast for a short time.
|-
| '''Sleep''' || Asleep: you cannot move, attack or cast. You wake up when hit.

|-
| '''Bleeding''' || Drains HP over time and stops your natural HP and SP recovery.
|-
| '''Deadly Poison''' || A far stronger poison that drains HP very quickly.
|}

== Debuffs ==

Debuffs are applied by specific skills. Some can be removed by cleansing effects (such as Refresh), while a few are marked below as permanent until they expire.

Element

2026-07-30T08:01:52Z

Admin: new page: elemental attack/defense system, official table + VortexRo custom tuning

'''Elements''' (also called properties or attributes) are a property carried by every player and monster, and by most attacks. They strengthen, weaken, or nullify damage when an attacking element meets a defending element.

There are ten elements: '''Neutral''', '''Water''', '''Earth''', '''Fire''', '''Wind''', '''Poison''', '''Holy''', '''Shadow''', '''Ghost''', and '''Undead'''. Some attacks — most monster melee hits — carry no element at all and are called '''non-elemental'''; they ignore every elemental modifier entirely.

Elements come in two roles. Every player and monster has a '''defending element''', which determines how much damage they take from each attacking element; players additionally have an '''attacking element''' on their weapon, spells, and certain skills. A player's own element is Neutral by default and can be changed by equipping elemental weapons/armor, certain skills or items, or Elemental cards. Monsters only carry a defending element, but many of their skills attack with a specific element regardless of their own.

Defending elements come in four '''levels''': the resistances and weaknesses of a defending element grow more extreme the higher its level, while attacking elements are not leveled. A player's own defending element is always Level 1; monster defending element level varies per monster.

== Reading the tables ==
Pick the '''row''' for the defender's element and level, then the '''column''' for the attacker's element, to get the damage multiplier. Example: a Level 1 Ghost-defending target hit by a Neutral-element attack takes '''75%''' damage (a 25% reduction).

== Elemental table ==

''Columns are the attacking element; rows are the defending element. All values are % of damage dealt.''

=== Level 1 ===

== Custom changes from vanilla Ragnarok ==

Vortex Legends tunes a handful of cells away from the values other Ragnarok servers use:

* '''Earth self-damage fixed.''' Earth attacking an Earth-elemental target used to sit at a flat 100% regardless of level, unlike Water, Fire, and Wind, which all weaken sharply against their own element. Earth now follows the same curve as the other three: 25% at Level 1, 0% from Level 2 onward.
* '''Poison buffed further against Holy and Shadow at Level 4.''' Poison attacking a Level 4 Holy or Shadow defender deals 25% instead of the usual 50%.
* '''Ghost tuned down against Neutral.''' Ghost attacking a Neutral-elemental target (the most common case, since most players and monsters default to Neutral) deals less than the stock value at every level: 75% / 50% / 25% / 0% for Levels 1–4, instead of the sharper drop-off other servers use.

These changes are already reflected in the tables above.

<div style="border-left:4px solid #f0a500;background:#fffbf0;padding:.6em 1em;margin:1em 0;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0;font-size:.92em;color:#6b5500;">⚠️ A further change is planned but not yet live: flooring every negative multiplier in the tables above to 0%, so no elemental matchup can ever heal the target. The negative values still shown above (mostly same-element attacks at Level 3–4, and a few Undead/Holy/Shadow matchups) are current, unmodified behavior.</div>

Admin: class-wiki: remove Inherited Skills section, fix Phytomone Overdrive naming

[[Category:Transcendent Classes]]
= Creator =

The '''Creator''' is the transcendent (rebirth) form of the [[Alchemist]], at the end of the Merchant line. A Creator retains every skill learned as a Merchant and Alchemist and gains a handful of powerful capstone abilities on top — most notably '''Acid Demonstration''', '''Full Chemical Protection''' and '''Slim Potion Pitcher'''. Creators are masters of bombs and acids, commanders of homunculi, and tenders of a battlefield full of summoned plants, blending raw burst damage with potent party support.

Acid Demonstration hurls a corrosive flask that detonates on a single target, tearing through even the toughest armor and threatening the target's equipment — the Creator's premier weapon against high-defense foes and bosses.

== Overview ==
Bio Cannibalize plants a carnivorous flora on the targeted ground that automatically hunts nearby enemies on its own. Each cast level summons a different plant with its own attack style.

== Mechanics ==
The summoned plant lasts 120 seconds and attacks enemies that come near it. The cast level determines which flora appears:

* '''Lv 1:''' Stone Shooter
* '''Lv 2:''' Parasite
* '''Lv 3:''' Penomena

A maximum of 3 plants can be active at once; summoning a fourth removes the oldest one.

'''Stone Shooter''' blends physical fire strikes with fire magic. At range it hits with a lighter flame attack and casts Fire Bolt; up close it switches to a stronger flame attack and a higher-tier Fire Ball.

'''Parasite''' batters enemies with gusts of wind that hit harder the farther away its target stands, and can also strike nearby foes at random. It additionally lashes out with Curse, Stun, and Stone Curse against enemies that get close.

'''Penomena''' poisons at range and follows up with Poison and a rapid combo strike up close, along with a separate Poison Attack. It is the most aggressive of the three plants once an enemy closes the distance.

While the caster's '''[[Phytomone Overdrive]]''' is active on a marked enemy, all three plants switch to noticeably stronger versions of their attacks against it, on top of the ASPD and Hit bonuses that skill grants them.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Summoned plant !! Fighting style
|-
| 1 || Stone Shooter || Fire magic and fire melee
|-
| 2 || Parasite || Wind attacks, Curse, Stun, Stone Curse
|-
| 3 || Penomena || Poison and combo strikes
|}

== Lif Synergy ==
If a '''[[Lif]]''' that has learned [[Lif#Nature's Bond|Nature's Bond]] is alive at the moment you summon a plant, the new flora inherits part of the Lif's power. Each plant summoned while such a Lif is out gains:

* '''+ATK''' equal to the Lif's ATK. While the Lif's '''Mental Change''' is active, the plant instead gains ATK equal to the Lif's INT × Mental Change Lv ÷ 3, so a buffed-up Lif produces far deadlier plants.
* '''+INT''' equal to ⅓ of the Lif's INT.
* '''+DEX''' equal to half of the Lif's base DEX.
* '''Faster attacks''' — the plant's attack delay is shortened by the Lif's AGI × 4 (up to 0.5 sec faster).

The ATK and INT inherited from the Lif are amplified by '''(5 × Nature's Bond Lv)%''', up to +25% at level 5. The DEX and attack-speed bonuses are not affected by the passive's level.

The bonus is locked in the instant the plant is summoned and is read from the Lif's current stats, so a higher-level Lif — especially one running Mental Change — turns each flora into a much stronger hunter. This synergy applies only to the Lif line of homunculus, and only while that Lif keeps [[Lif#Nature's Bond|Nature's Bond]] learned.

== Notes ==
Plants act independently and cannot be directly commanded. They can, however, be redirected onto a single marked enemy with '''[[Phytomone Overdrive]]''', supported in the field by '''[[Rejuvenating Bloom]]''' and re-elemented on demand with '''[[Elemental Catalyst]]'''.

</table>

== Overview ==
Phytomone Overdrive marks an enemy with a potent phytomone. Every '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''' plant the Creator has out immediately fixates on that target, hitting faster and more accurately for as long as the mark lasts.

== Mechanics ==
On cast, every plant the Creator currently owns is permanently pinned onto the marked enemy: they abandon whatever they were doing and commit to it until it dies or leaves the map, ignoring their usual target selection. While the mark is active, each plant also gains:

* '''ASPD:''' +(5 + SkillLv)%
* '''Hit:''' +(5 × SkillLv)

These bonuses last for the skill's Duration; the target lock itself outlives the buff and only breaks when the marked enemy dies, leaves the map, or a new target is marked. Marking a new enemy redirects the entire swarm onto the new target and refreshes the ASPD/Hit bonus.

While the mark is up, the plants' own attacks (see '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''') also step up to their strongest versions against the marked target.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Plant ASPD !! Plant Hit !! Duration !! SP cost
|-
| 1 || +6% || +5 || 15 sec || 20
|-
| 2 || +7% || +10 || 20 sec || 30
|-
| 3 || +8% || +15 || 25 sec || 40
|}

== Notes ==
Phytomone Overdrive is learned as a Creator and turns a scattered pack of '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''' plants into a focused, fast-hitting assault force against a single target, pairing with '''[[Elemental Catalyst]]''' for elemental matching and '''[[Rejuvenating Bloom]]''' for sustain, making it the branch's finishing tool.

The '''Creator''' is the transcendent (rebirth) form of the [[Alchemist]], at the end of the Merchant line. A Creator retains every skill learned as a Merchant and Alchemist and gains a handful of powerful capstone abilities on top — most notably '''Acid Demonstration''', '''Full Chemical Protection''' and '''Slim Potion Pitcher'''. Creators are masters of bombs and acids, commanders of homunculi, and tenders of a battlefield full of summoned plants, blending raw burst damage with potent party support.

[[Category:Second Classes]]
= Alchemist =

The Alchemist is the second-class advancement of the [[Merchant]] line. Where the Blacksmith forges, the Alchemist experiments: brewing potions, lobbing volatile bombs and acids, raising artificial life in the form of Homunculi, and seeding the battlefield with carnivorous plants. They blend frontline support with explosive area control, keeping allies alive with thrown potions while their summons and chemicals tear into the enemy. A seasoned Alchemist who has fully embraced the craft can later transcend into the [[Creator]].

</table>

== Overview ==
Metabolic Surge administers a dose of Detrimindexta to the Creator's own Homunculus. The catalyst reacts with the Homunculus's biological makeup, temporarily sharpening whichever traits are natural to its bloodline. The effect only ever applies to the caster's own active Homunculus, never to the caster or to another player's Homunculus.

== Mechanics ==
On cast, the active Homunculus receives a 90-second buff whose effect depends on its line:

* '''Lif''' — Healing done +15%, MATK +10%
* '''Vanilmirth''' — MATK +15%, ASPD +10%
* '''Amistr''' — Max HP +25%
* '''Filir''' — ATK +10%, ASPD +15%

Casting the skill without an active Homunculus does nothing and does not consume the catalyst.

== Leveling ==
Metabolic Surge has a single level; it does not scale.

== Catalysts/Requirements ==

== Notes ==
* The buff only affects the caster's currently active Homunculus and never the caster.

</table>

== Overview ==
Acid Terror hurls a bottle of corrosive acid at a single enemy for heavy ranged physical damage. The splash of acid ignores the target's Flee entirely (it always connects) and can eat through the victim's armor, leaving them vulnerable.

== Mechanics ==
The attack cannot miss — it bypasses the enemy's Flee. On hit it has a chance to Stun the target and to break their armor.

'''Damage formula:''' Damage = 100 + 80 × SkillLv (% of ATK)

* '''Always hits''' (ignores Flee).
* '''Stun chance:''' (20 + 8 × SkillLv)%
* '''Armor break chance:''' (3 + SkillLv)%

== Synergy ==
While [[Corrosive Nova]] is active, Acid Terror erupts across a 3×3 area instead of striking a single target, trading some of its damage for the wider reach.

If a '''[[Filir]]''' that has learned [[Filir#Corrosive Plume|Corrosive Plume]] is summoned, Acid Terror deals '''(5 × Corrosive Plume Lv)%''' more damage, up to +25% at level 5.

== Overview ==

== Mechanics ==
The burning patch lingers for 30 seconds, striking enemies inside it at regular intervals. Each hit can ignite the target (inflicting Burning) and has a flat chance to break the victim's weapon.

'''Damage formula:''' Damage = 100 + 30 × SkillLv (% of MATK)

</table>

== Overview ==
Pheromone Overdrive marks an enemy with a potent pheromone. Every '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''' plant the Creator has out immediately fixates on that target, hitting faster and more accurately for as long as the mark lasts.

== Mechanics ==
On cast, every plant the Creator currently owns is permanently pinned onto the marked enemy: they abandon whatever they were doing and commit to it until it dies or leaves the map, ignoring their usual target selection. While the mark is active, each plant also gains:

* '''ASPD:''' +(5 + SkillLv)%
* '''Hit:''' +(5 × SkillLv)

These bonuses last for the skill's Duration; the target lock itself outlives the buff and only breaks when the marked enemy dies, leaves the map, or a new target is marked. Marking a new enemy redirects the entire swarm onto the new target and refreshes the ASPD/Hit bonus.

While the mark is up, the plants' own attacks (see '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''') also step up to their strongest versions against the marked target.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Plant ASPD !! Plant Hit !! Duration !! SP cost

|-
| 2 || +7% || +10 || 20 sec || 30
|-
| 3 || +8% || +15 || 25 sec || 40
|}

== Notes ==
Pheromone Overdrive is learned as a Creator and turns a scattered pack of '''[[Bio Cannibalize]]''' plants into a focused, fast-hitting assault force against a single target, pairing with '''[[Elemental Catalyst]]''' for elemental matching and '''[[Rejuvenating Bloom]]''' for sustain, making it the branch's finishing tool.

</table>

== Overview ==
Rejuvenating Bloom sprouts a friendly Geographer at the chosen spot, within 4 cells of the caster. The bloom stays rooted for 60 seconds, healing wounded allies around it and lashing out at any enemy that wanders too close, acting as a stationary support turret. Only one healing Geographer can exist per Alchemist at a time; casting again removes the previous bloom and plants a new one.

== Mechanics ==
The Geographer heals through two separate routines that run on their own timers, so both can be active in the same fight.

'''Heal''' reaches any wounded ally standing near the bloom, whether or not they belong to the caster's party, and repeats on a short interval that shortens as the cast level rises.

'''Double Heal''' picks two different party members within 10 cells and heals both at once, every 10 seconds at every cast level. It never picks the same target twice, so its output always lands on two people.

Neither routine touches a target already above 90% of its maximum HP, so the bloom never spends a cast on someone who is healthy.

'''Heal formula:'''

Heal = ( Geographer Level + Geographer INT ) ÷ 8 × ( 4 + Heal Level × 8 )

== Leveling ==
Each cast level plants a stronger Geographer with a faster Heal. The Double Heal interval is the same at every level.

{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Geographer level !! Geographer INT !! Heal level !! Heal interval !! Double Heal interval !! HP restored per Heal
|-
| 1 || 60 || 60 || 7 || 5 sec || 10 sec || 900
|-
| 2 || 68 || 68 || 8 || 4.5 sec || 10 sec || 1,156
|-
| 3 || 76 || 76 || 9 || 4 sec || 10 sec || 1,444
|}

== The Geographer ==
The summoned bloom is a sturdy Earth creature that defends itself but will not stray far from where it was planted.

{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Monster level !! HP !! Attack !! DEF !! MDEF !! INT
|-
| 1 || 60 || 8,071 || 467 to 621 || 28 || 26 || 60
|-
| 2 || 68 || 8,071 || 467 to 621 || 28 || 26 || 68
|-
| 3 || 76 || 8,071 || 467 to 621 || 28 || 26 || 76
|}

Every version shares the same body: Medium size, Plant race, Earth element level 3, an attack range of 3 cells, a skill range of 10 cells and a chase range of 12 cells.

== Notes ==
Each cast consumes one Plant Bottle along with its SP. The skill has no cooldown, so the only real limits on replanting are the SP and the supply of bottles, and moving the bloom is simply a matter of casting it somewhere better.

Place the bloom where allies will hold ground. Its healing reaches the area around the plant rather than following the Alchemist, so a bloom left behind while the group advances contributes nothing.

</table>

== Overview ==
Bio Cannibalize plants a carnivorous flora on the targeted ground that automatically hunts nearby enemies on its own. Each cast level summons a different plant with its own attack style.

== Mechanics ==
The summoned plant lasts 120 seconds and attacks enemies that come near it. The cast level determines which flora appears:

* '''Lv 1:''' Stone Shooter
* '''Lv 2:''' Parasite
* '''Lv 3:''' Penomena

A maximum of 3 plants can be active at once; summoning a fourth removes the oldest one.

'''Stone Shooter''' blends physical fire strikes with fire magic. At range it hits with a lighter flame attack and casts Fire Bolt; up close it switches to a stronger flame attack and a higher-tier Fire Ball.

'''Parasite''' batters enemies with gusts of wind that hit harder the farther away its target stands, and can also strike nearby foes at random. It additionally lashes out with Curse, Stun, and Stone Curse against enemies that get close.

'''Penomena''' poisons at range and follows up with Poison and a rapid combo strike up close, along with a separate Poison Attack. It is the most aggressive of the three plants once an enemy closes the distance.

While the caster's '''[[Pheromone Overdrive]]''' is active on a marked enemy, all three plants switch to noticeably stronger versions of their attacks against it, on top of the ASPD and Hit bonuses that skill grants them.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Summoned plant !! Fighting style
|-
| 1 || Stone Shooter || Fire magic and fire melee
|-
| 2 || Parasite || Wind attacks, Curse, Stun, Stone Curse
|-
| 3 || Penomena || Poison and combo strikes
|}

== Lif Synergy ==
If a '''[[Lif]]''' that has learned [[Lif#Nature's Bond|Nature's Bond]] is alive at the moment you summon a plant, the new flora inherits part of the Lif's power. Each plant summoned while such a Lif is out gains:

* '''+ATK''' equal to the Lif's ATK. While the Lif's '''Mental Change''' is active, the plant instead gains ATK equal to the Lif's INT × Mental Change Lv ÷ 3, so a buffed-up Lif produces far deadlier plants.
* '''+INT''' equal to ⅓ of the Lif's INT.
* '''+DEX''' equal to half of the Lif's base DEX.
* '''Faster attacks''' — the plant's attack delay is shortened by the Lif's AGI × 4 (up to 0.5 sec faster).

The ATK and INT inherited from the Lif are amplified by '''(5 × Nature's Bond Lv)%''', up to +25% at level 5. The DEX and attack-speed bonuses are not affected by the passive's level.

The bonus is locked in the instant the plant is summoned and is read from the Lif's current stats, so a higher-level Lif — especially one running Mental Change — turns each flora into a much stronger hunter. This synergy applies only to the Lif line of homunculus, and only while that Lif keeps [[Lif#Nature's Bond|Nature's Bond]] learned.

== Notes ==
Plants act independently and cannot be directly commanded. They can, however, be redirected onto a single marked enemy with '''[[Pheromone Overdrive]]''', supported in the field by '''[[Rejuvenating Bloom]]''' and re-elemented on demand with '''[[Elemental Catalyst]]'''.

</table>

== Overview ==
Vitality Serum sprays a mist of potions over the Alchemist and every nearby ally, granting all of them a sustained heal-over-time. Unlike a single-target throw, this skill trades precision for reach, keeping a whole group topped up while the Alchemist stays where the fight is. It reaches the caster's own party, and spreads to allied battleground teammates instead when fought in a battleground.

== Mechanics ==
On cast, the buff spreads to the caster and every ally across the caster's visible surroundings, not just a fixed radius around the target point. While it lasts, each recipient is healed at a steady interval until the buff runs out.

'''Heal formula''' (per tick, on each affected ally):

HP per tick = (25 + Caster INT + Recipient VIT) × SkillLv

Both the caster's INT and the recipient's own VIT feed into the heal, so a high-INT Alchemist supporting a tanky, high-VIT ally gets the strongest results from a single cast.

The total duration and the time between pulses both grow with skill level, but they scale together: every level delivers five pulses over the buff's lifetime.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Cast time !! Duration !! Time between pulses !! Pulses !! SP cost !! Catalyst (×2)
|-
| 1 || 1.0 sec || 5.5 sec || 1.1 sec || 5 || 10 || Red Potion
|-
| 2 || 1.5 sec || 6.0 sec || 1.2 sec || 5 || 15 || Orange Potion
|-
| 3 || 2.0 sec || 6.5 sec || 1.3 sec || 5 || 20 || Orange Potion
|-
| 4 || 2.5 sec || 7.0 sec || 1.4 sec || 5 || 25 || Yellow Potion
|-
| 5 || 3.0 sec || 7.5 sec || 1.5 sec || 5 || 30 || Yellow Potion
|}

== Catalysts ==
Each cast consumes two potions of the tier matching the chosen skill level: two Red Potions at level 1, two Orange Potions at levels 2–3, and two Yellow Potions at levels 4–5.

== Notes ==
* Reaches the caster and nearby party members; in a battleground it spreads to allied teammates instead.
* The heal scales with both the caster's INT and each recipient's own VIT, rewarding pairing a support-built Alchemist with sturdier allies.
* Has no cooldown, so it can be recast as soon as the after-cast delay ends.
* Requires Potion Pitcher at level 3 to learn.

</table>

== Overview ==
Full Chemical Protection coats a single ally's entire equipment loadout in one cast, applying all four Chemical Protections — weapon, shield, armor and headgear — simultaneously. While active, that gear cannot be destroyed by enemy equipment-breaking effects, shielding the ally against acid attacks, strippers and similar threats without having to cast each protection individually.

== Mechanics ==
The skill applies the four Chemical Protection effects to the target at once. A protection is only applied for an equipment slot the target actually has equipped; empty slots are skipped. If the target has none of the four slots equipped, the cast fails and the Glistening Coat is not consumed.

All four protections share the same duration, which scales with skill level:

Duration = 300 × SkillLv seconds

Each cast consumes one Glistening Coat.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Duration !! SP cost
|-
| 1 || 300 sec (5 min) || 40
|-
| 2 || 600 sec (10 min) || 40
|-
| 3 || 900 sec (15 min) || 40
|}

== Notes ==
* Protects only the equipment slots the ally currently has filled.
* The cast fails (and no reagent is used) if the target has no eligible equipment.
* A single cast replaces individually applying the four separate Chemical Protections.

== Overview ==
Potion Pitcher throws a healing potion at a party or guild ally from a distance, restoring their HP. The cast level chooses which potion is hurled, and the Alchemist's training amplifies the recovery far beyond what the ally would get by drinking it themselves.

== Mechanics ==
Each level throws a stronger potion and consumes that potion from the caster's inventory:

* '''Lv 1:''' Red Potion
* '''Lv 2:''' Orange Potion
* '''Lv 3:''' Yellow Potion
* '''Lv 4:''' White Potion
* '''Lv 5:''' Blue Potion

'''Heal formula:''' Heal = PotionValue × (100 + Potion Pitcher Lv × 10 + Learning Potion Lv × 5)% × (100 + target VIT × 2)%

The base potion value is amplified by your Potion Pitcher and [[Learning Potion]] levels, then further increased by the target's VIT.

== Leveling ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Level !! Potion thrown !! Pitcher healing multiplier
|-
| 1 || Red Potion || +10%
|-
| 2 || Orange Potion || +20%
|-
| 3 || Yellow Potion || +30%
|-
| 4 || White Potion || +40%
|-
| 5 || Blue Potion || +50%
|}

== Amistr Synergy ==
If an '''[[Amistr]]''' that has learned [[Amistr#Guardian's Brew|Guardian's Brew]] is summoned, Potion Pitcher restores an extra '''(10 × Guardian's Brew Lv)%''' HP and SP, up to +50% at level 5. The Spirit of the Alchemist link grants a separate bonus equal to your Base Level (in percent), so an Alchemist who is both linked and accompanied by a Guardian's Brew Amistr receives both increases at once.

== Notes ==
The skill cannot be used on the Emperium. The thrown potion must be present in the Alchemist's inventory, and every cast always consumes one potion of the matching tier; there is no chance to skip consumption.

Sage Quest

2026-07-27T16:10:49Z

Admin: class-wiki: sync with script fixes (thesis materials, exam timer wording)

The '''Sage Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Mage into a [[Sage]]. It is run by the Schweicherbil Magic Academy in Juno and it is the longest of the second class quests: you enrol as a student, pass a written exam of twenty questions, survive a timed practical exam in an arena, study under one of three professors, and finally write and submit a dissertation to the Dean.

There is a shortcut. A Mage who is already '''Job Level 50''' becomes a Sage the moment they speak to the Dean or to the academy clerk, with no enrolment fee, no exams, no items and no dissertation. Everyone below Job Level 50 has to work through the whole course. Unlike some other job quests there is no extra reward for taking the long route.

Which professor teaches you, and therefore which items you gather in the second half, is '''rolled at random''' when you pass the practical exam. It cannot be chosen or rerolled.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Mage'''. Transcendent characters and characters who already have a second class are turned away.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' or higher. The clerk refuses to accept your application below that.
|-
| Skill points || '''All spent'''. Enrolment is refused and the final job change is refused while you still hold unused Mage skill points.
|-
| Enrolment fee || '''70,000 zeny''', or an '''Old Magicbook''' plus a '''Necklace of Wisdom''' instead, or a reduced fee of 30,000 zeny plus a gathering set. Free at Job Level 50.
|-
| Items || Depends on the professor you are assigned. Every route ends with the same five dissertation materials.
|}

== Quest NPCs ==

{| class="wikitable"
! NPC !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Decano de la Academia''' (Kayron Grik) || ''yuno_in02 38, 61'' || Dean. Opens the quest and performs the job change
|-
| '''Metheus Sylphe''' || ''yuno_in03 154, 35'' || Academy clerk. Takes your application and the fee
|-
| '''Claytos Verdo''' || ''yuno_in03 105, 177'' || Theory professor. Written exam
|-
| '''Hermes Tris''' || ''yuno_in03 169, 180'' || Practical professor. Arena exam and thesis topic
|-
| '''Profesor Saphien''' (Saphien Layless) || ''yuno_in03 62, 176'' || History professor. Yggdrasil topic
|-
| '''Lucius Celsus''' || ''yuno_in03 32, 102'' || Biology professor. Monster topic
|-
| '''Aebecee George''' || ''yuno_in03 244, 31'' || Physics professor. Elemental magic topic
|-
| '''Ayudante''' || ''job_sage 50, 165'' || Arena attendant. Explains the rules and holds the waiting room
|}

The academy itself is the building entered from Juno at ''yuno 323, 284''. The Dean sits in a separate building entered from ''yuno 87, 321''.

== Step 1: Speak to the Dean ==

Kayron Grik, the '''Dean of the Academy''', receives visitors at ''yuno_in02 38, 61''. Tell him you want to become a Sage and he explains what the academy expects and points you at the clerk.

This visit is optional. Nothing is recorded and you can go straight to the clerk instead. At Job Level 50 the conversation ends immediately with the job change.

== Step 2: Enrol at the academy ==

Metheus Sylphe stands just inside the academy at ''yuno_in03 154, 35''. Ask to join the school. He checks your Job Level and your unspent skill points, then asks for the enrolment fee. You have three ways to pay it.

{| class="wikitable"
! Payment !! Detail
|-
| 70,000 zeny || The standard fee
|-
| Old Magicbook and Necklace of Wisdom || One of each. Both are taken and the fee is waived entirely
|-
| 30,000 zeny plus a gathering set || Only offered if you tell him the fee is too expensive '''and''' you are carrying 43,210 zeny or less
|-
| Free || Automatic at Job Level 50
|}

If you take the reduced fee he assigns one of three gathering sets at random. Bring the items and 30,000 zeny back to him.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items
|-
| Set 1 || 50 Feather of Birds, 50 Fluff, 25 Iron Ore
|-
| Set 2 || 50 Clover, 50 Feather, 25 Squid Ink
|-
| Set 3 || 50 Feather of Birds, 50 Fluff, 50 Clover, 50 Feather
|}

You can abandon the discount at any time. If you come back with 70,000 zeny, or with the Old Magicbook and the Necklace of Wisdom, he accepts those instead and the gathering set is forgotten.

Once the application is signed he sends you to Claytos Verdo in the room to the left.

== Step 3: The written exam ==

Claytos Verdo runs the theory exam at ''yuno_in03 105, 177''. He asks '''20 multiple choice questions''', each worth 5 points, drawn as a complete set from one of the three lists below.

* You need '''80 points''' to pass, which is 16 correct answers. The same mark applies on every attempt.
* Failing costs nothing. Talk to him again straight away and the set is rolled again.
* There is no timer, so take as long as you need over each question.

Passing sends you to Hermes Tris for the practical exam.

== Step 4: The practical exam ==

Hermes Tris waits at ''yuno_in03 169, 180''. Tell him you are ready and he sends you to the staging area of the test grounds. The '''Ayudante''' standing there explains the rules, and the '''waiting room''' beside him is what actually starts the run.

* '''Only one candidate at a time.''' If somebody else is inside, wait until the announcements say the next candidate may enter.
* All progress is announced across the whole map, including the remaining time.
* The full run takes roughly five to ten minutes.
* The arena blocks Teleport and Fly Wing, and it cannot be memoed for a Warp Portal. There is '''no experience penalty''' for dying there. If you need to leave early, log out.

The exam is three rounds. Each round starts as soon as the previous one is cleared.

{| class="wikitable"
! Round !! Time limit !! Monsters
|-
| 1 || 3 minutes || 8 Chonchon named ''Grade F'' and 8 Fabre named ''Grade D''
|-
| 2 || 3 minutes || 24 Lunatic, each named after an academic subject
|-
| 3 || 1 minute || 1 Whisper named ''Academic Probation''
|}

Round three also puts four extra Whispers on the field, named after academic misconduct such as being absent or cheating. '''They do not have to be killed.''' Only ''Academic Probation'' counts, and killing it ends the exam immediately.

If a round timer runs out the attempt is over and you are thrown back to Juno at ''yuno 324, 258''. There is no penalty and no limit on retries: talk to Hermes Tris again and he lets you straight back in. Clearing round three sends you back into the academy at ''yuno_in03 163, 180'', a few steps from his desk.

== Step 5: Receive your thesis topic ==

Speak to Hermes Tris again after passing. He accepts your admission and assigns one of three research topics '''at random''', then names the professor who will teach it.

{| class="wikitable"
! Topic !! Professor !! Location
|-
| Yggdrasil || Profesor Saphien, in the Lecture Room || ''yuno_in03 62, 176''
|-
| Monsters || Lucius Celsus, in the Monster Museum || ''yuno_in03 32, 102''
|-
| Elemental magic || Aebecee George, in the Somatology Laboratory || ''yuno_in03 244, 31''
|}

== Step 6: Study under your professor ==

Each professor runs their own lessons and their own shopping list. Follow only the section that matches your topic.

=== Topic: Yggdrasil, with Profesor Saphien ===

Saphien Layless teaches in the Lecture Room at ''yuno_in03 62, 176''. He opens with a couple of questions about Yggdrasil. Getting them wrong only earns a scolding and does not block anything.

He then asks for '''any one item related to the Yggdrasil tree''' before the lesson can begin. Any of these is accepted, and none of them is taken from you:

* Yggdrasilberry
* Yggdrasil Seed
* Yggdrasil Leaf, which he accepts grudgingly because it can simply be bought in Al De Baran

With the item in your bag he delivers a long lecture on the world tree, the three realms and the three roots, and then asks for the five dissertation materials.

=== Topic: Monsters, with Lucius Celsus ===

Lucius Celsus teaches in the Monster Museum at ''yuno_in03 32, 102''. He is rude, and he wants two rounds of samples. Each round asks for '''5 of each of three items''', rolled at random. None of the samples is taken from you, so you keep everything you gather.

The first round is about fish class monsters:

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items (5 each)
|-
| Set 1 || Tentacle, Single Cell, Fish Tail
|-
| Set 2 || Nipper, Clam Flesh, Heart of Mermaid
|-
| Set 3 || Tendon, Nipper, Sharp Scale
|}

When you hand them in he asks what the source monsters have in common and which magic works best on them. The answers he wants are that '''they are fish and carry the Water property''', and that '''Wind property magic''' beats them, so '''Lightning Bolt''' or '''Thunder Storm''' are both accepted. A wrong answer only earns an insult and does not block progress.

The second round is about insect class monsters:

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items (5 each)
|-
| Set 1 || Cobweb, Shell, Insect Feeler
|-
| Set 2 || Horn, Snail's Shell, Moth Dust
|-
| Set 3 || Mantis Scythe, Worm Peeling, Rainbow Shell
|-
| Set 4 || Cobweb, Mantis Scythe, Solid Shell
|}

After that lesson he asks for the five dissertation materials.

=== Topic: Elemental magic, with Aebecee George ===

Aebecee George teaches in the Somatology Laboratory at ''yuno_in03 244, 31''. This route has three deliveries.

'''First, bring 30 Stone.''' All thirty are taken. She then announces that only three of them worked and hands you three elemental ores in exchange:

* 1 Crystal Blue
* 1 Green Live
* 1 Wind of Verdure

'''Second, bring 50 Crystal Arrow, 50 Stone Arrow and 50 Arrow of Wind.''' All 150 arrows are taken. The three ores are the raw material: one ore turns into '''500 arrows''' of the matching type through the Arrow Crafting skill, so a single ore of each is far more than you need. No shop sells these arrows, so you need an Archer class character or a Rogue to craft them. Both of those get Arrow Crafting for free on this server, so any friend with such a character can make all three stacks from your ores in seconds. In return she gives the first lesson, on which element beats which.

'''Third, bring 1 Holy Water.''' It is taken, and she gives the second lesson, on which element is weak to which. No shop sells Holy Water either, so ask an Acolyte or Priest to make some with Aqua Benedicta.

She then asks for the five dissertation materials.

== Step 7: Write the dissertation ==

Whichever professor taught you, the materials are the same. Bring all five to your own professor:

* 1 Feather of Birds, used as a pen
* 1 Animal Skin, used as paper
* 1 Trunk, used to bind the book
* 1 Squid Ink, used as ink
* 1 Empty Bottle, to hold the squid ink

All five have to be in your bag before the writing session starts, and they are taken once the dissertation is accepted. The professor walks you through it as a series of multiple choice lines, and how much the answers matter depends on your topic.

* '''Lucius Celsus''' simply hands you a finished work to copy. There is nothing to get wrong.
* '''Aebecee George''' lets you pick any line you like, including the silly ones. Nothing can go wrong there either.
* '''Profesor Saphien''' is strict. '''A single wrong line fails the dissertation''' and he sends you away to study, but your materials are kept, so you can talk to him again and write it once more. His correct lines are listed below.

{| class="wikitable"
! Line !! Correct answer
|-
| The ocean around the continent is coiled by || A giant snake, Yormungandr
|-
| The continent consists of three places, the first being || Utgard, where the titans live
|-
| the second being || Midgard, where humans live
|-
| the third being || Asgard, where the gods live
|-
| Yggdrasil is || A giant ash tree
|-
| The root of Yggdrasil splits into three, reaching || Asgard, Jotunnheim, Niflheim
|-
| Whoever holds a Yggdrasil Seed || can restore half of total HP and SP
|}

A finished dissertation is handed to you as a '''Book'''. You only ever write one, so keep it safe.

== Step 8: Become a Sage ==

Take the Book to Kayron Grik at ''yuno_in02 38, 61''. He reads it, praises it, and performs the job change on the spot, as long as you have no unused skill points left. The Book is not consumed, so you keep it as a souvenir.

== Rewards ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Reward !! Detail
|-
| Sage || The job change itself
|-
| Create Elemental Converter || Granted at level 1 for free
|-
| Soul Change || Granted at level 1 for free
|-
| Book || The finished dissertation stays in your inventory
|}

There is no zeny or potion reward, and no bonus for having taken the long route rather than the Job Level 50 shortcut.

== Tips ==

* Reaching Job Level 50 before you talk to anyone is by far the fastest route: the entire course collapses into one conversation and the enrolment fee disappears.
* Spend every Mage skill point before you enrol and again before your final visit to the Dean. Both NPCs refuse you while points are unspent.
* Compare the three payment options before choosing. The reduced fee is only offered when you are nearly broke, so if you are sitting on 50,000 zeny you either pay the full 70,000 or go and find the Old Magicbook and the Necklace of Wisdom.
* The written exam allows four wrong answers out of twenty and can be retaken as often as you like for free, so there is no reason to walk away from a bad set.
* Prepare for the arena before you enter. Rounds one and two are trivial for a Mage, but ''Academic Probation'' in round three is a Whisper with the Ghost property and a great deal of HP, and you only get one minute. Bolt spells are halved against it while '''Soul Strike''' and '''Napalm Beat''' are Ghost property and hit it far harder, so bring those and enough blue potions to chain them.
* The arena has no experience penalty and unlimited retries, so a failed run costs nothing but a walk back to Hermes Tris.
* Gather the five dissertation materials early. Every one of the three routes ends with them, so having them in your bag saves a trip no matter which professor you draw.
* If you draw Profesor Saphien, read his answer table before you start. One wrong line sends you back to him, although the materials stay in your bag for the next attempt.
* If you draw Aebecee George, line up an Archer class or Rogue friend before you hand in the stones. The arrows are the only part of the quest that cannot be bought or gathered solo.

Wizard Quest

2026-07-27T16:10:37Z

Admin: class-wiki: sync with script fixes (reward swap, decline no longer counts, mercy path)

The '''Wizard Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Mage into a [[Wizard]]. It runs on the top floor of the Geffen Tower, where two Mages share the work: Catherine takes the application and performs the change, and Raulel runs the two hard parts. The quest is split into three tests: a magic material collection, a written exam of ten questions, and a three room combat trial in a separate arena.

There is a shortcut. A Mage who has reached '''Job Level 50''' is changed on the spot by Catherine, with no tests at all. This also works in the middle of the quest: if you reach Job Level 50 while the tests are still open, she approves you the moment you talk to her.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Mage'''. Novices are sent to the Mage guild in Geffen first.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' to apply for the tests. At '''Job Level 50''' the tests are skipped entirely.
|-
| Skill points || All skill points must be spent. Catherine refuses to perform the job change while you have unused points, on both the quest path and the Job Level 50 shortcut. You can still apply and take the tests with points in reserve, so spend them before you come back for the change.
|-
| Preparation || SP recovery items, a bolt spell of each element and enough levels to kill a room of monsters in three minutes.
|}

== Where everyone stands ==

The Geffen Tower entrance is in the middle of Geffen (''geffen 120, 113''). The quest NPCs are all on the top floor, which you reach by working your way up the stairs and warps inside the tower.

{| class="wikitable"
! NPC !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Catherine''' || ''gef_tower 111, 37'' || Application, first test and the final job change.
|-
| '''Raulel''' || ''gef_tower 102, 24'' || Written exam and the combat trial.
|-
| '''Perro''' || ''gef_tower 107, 36'' || A talking dog who calls herself Maria. Optional hints for the material collection.
|-
| '''Arena Assistant''' || Inside the test arena || Explains the arena rules and hosts the waiting room that starts the combat trial.
|}

== Step 1: Apply with Catherine ==

Talk to '''Catherine''' (''gef_tower 111, 37'') and say you want to become a Wizard, then confirm the application. Below Job Level 40 she sends you back out to gain experience. At Job Level 40 or higher she accepts the application, explains the three tests and gives you the material list on the spot.

At '''Job Level 50''' the conversation is much shorter: she congratulates you, changes your class and hands over the reward.

== Step 2: The magic materials ==

Catherine picks '''one of two sets at random''' when she accepts your application, and tells you the list immediately. The set is fixed from that moment, so there is nothing to reroll.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set 1 !! Set 2
|-
| 10 Red Gemstone || 5 Crystal Blue
|-
| 10 Blue Gemstone || 5 Green Live
|-
| 10 Yellow Gemstone || 5 Red Blood
|-
| || 5 Wind of Verdure
|}

Bring everything back to her and she takes the items and sends you to Raulel in the corner. Talking to her again repeats the list if you forget it. Only the contents of your inventory are checked, so bought materials count exactly the same as hunted ones.

'''Perro''', the talking dog next to Catherine, gives hunting hints for whichever set you were given. They are suggestions rather than the only sources.

{| class="wikitable"
! Material !! Suggested source
|-
| Red Gemstone || Thief Bugs and Thief Bug Eggs in the Prontera Culverts
|-
| Blue Gemstone || Cornutus, Vadon and Marse in Byalan Dungeon, or the Geffen magic shop
|-
| Yellow Gemstone || Condor, Picky and sometimes Golem in the desert
|-
| Crystal Blue || Cornutus, Kukre, Marina and Vadon in Byalan Dungeon
|-
| Green Live || Insect monsters such as Horn, Mantis and Vitata
|-
| Red Blood || Elder Willow, Metaller and Scorpion in the desert
|-
| Wind of Verdure || Hornet, Stainer and Steel Chonchon
|}

== Step 3: The written exam ==

'''Raulel''' (''gef_tower 102, 24'') offers you one last chance to walk away, then starts the exam. It is '''ten questions''' worth ten points each, drawn at random from '''one of three question sets''': one about magic, one about monsters and one about Mages themselves. He does not tell you which answers you got wrong, only the final score.

The pass mark depends on the attempt:

* '''First attempt:''' you need '''90 points or more''', so at most one wrong answer.
* '''Any later attempt:''' '''80 points''' is enough, so at most two wrong answers.

Failing simply sends you away. Talk to him again and he restarts the exam from the beginning, as often as you like.

After a failed exam, Catherine will sell you a hint for '''1 Apple Juice'''. She drinks it and then explains that the exam is drawn from three topics, magic, monsters and Mages, and where to study for each. It is flavour rather than a list of answers, so it is optional.

| 9 || Choose the monster that is of a different species. || '''Ghostring'''
|-
| 10 || Which of the following is not an Undead monster? || '''Deviace'''
|}

=== Set 3: Mages ===

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which stat is the most important for a Mage? || '''INT'''
|-
| 2 || Which attribute does not have a Bolt type attack? || '''Earth'''
|-

|-
| 5 || Which of the following cards has nothing to do with INT? || '''Soldier Andre Card'''

|-
| 9 || Which of the following is the catalyst when making the Mage test solution 3? || '''Blue Gemstone'''
|-
| 10 || Which card is irrelevant to magic? || '''Magnolia Card'''
|}

== Step 4: The combat trial ==

Talk to '''Raulel''' again once you have passed the exam. He offers an explanation of the trial, and either answer eventually sends you to the arena. Choosing to hear him out costs nothing and he ends with the same offer to go in.

Choosing to go back to town costs you nothing. Nothing is recorded until you actually enter the arena, so you can walk away and come back to the same conversation later.

Entering warps you to the arena lobby and sets your save point to Geffen, so a death during the trial sends you there. The '''Arena Assistant''' explains the rules; to actually start, join the waiting room chat next to him. Only '''one candidate runs at a time''', so if somebody else is inside you have to wait for the arena to reopen. A full run takes roughly five to ten minutes.

The trial is three rooms in a fixed order, Water then Earth then Fire. Each room has two phases: clear every monster in the room within '''three minutes''', then a '''guardian''' spawns with its own shorter timer. Beating the guardian moves you on, and you are fully healed on the way into the Earth and Fire rooms.

{| class="wikitable"
! Room !! Phase !! Monsters !! Time limit
|-
| rowspan="2" | Water Room || Clear out || 1 Obeaune, 1 Phen, 1 Shellfish, 1 Vadon, 1 Cornutus, 1 Marina, 1 Marin, 1 Magnolia || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Marine Sphere and 4 Hydra || 1 minute
|-
| rowspan="2" | Earth Room || Clear out || 1 Hode, 1 Savage, 1 Mantis, 1 Yoyo, 1 Deniro, 1 Caramel, 1 Giearth, 1 Bigfoot, 1 Orc Warrior, 1 Vitata || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Flora and 6 Mandragora || 1 minute
|-
| rowspan="2" | Fire Room || Clear out || 1 Zerom, 1 Desert Wolf, 1 Goblin, 1 Scorpion, 1 Frilldora, 1 Peco Peco, 1 Elder Willow, 1 Metaller || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Greatest General and 2 Horong || 2 minutes
|}

Announcements count the remaining time down for you in every phase. If a timer runs out, the monsters are removed, you are sent back to Geffen and the arena resets for the next candidate. Nothing is lost except the time.

Clearing the Fire guardian passes the trial. You are congratulated, given a few seconds to read the closing announcements and then warped back to the top of the Geffen Tower, next to Catherine.

== Step 5: Retrying the combat trial ==

Raulel does not simply wave you back in. Before every new attempt he asks '''five questions''' worth twenty points each, and you need '''80 points or more''', so at most one wrong answer. Pass and he heals you fully and sends you back to the arena. Score less and you have to talk to him again and answer them once more.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Choose the monster with a different attribute than the others. || '''Cornutus'''
|-
| 2 || Choose the monster that is not a looting one. || '''Zerom'''
|-
| 3 || Which of these monsters does not recognize casting? || '''Marina'''
|-
| 4 || Choose the spell that would be efficient against a Marine Sphere. || '''Lightning Bolt'''
|-
| 5 || Choose the monster that can move. || '''Frilldora'''
|}

There is also a way out for players who keep getting stuck. After '''six failed or partial runs''' Raulel starts offering a trade: bring him '''1 Worn Out Scroll''' for his research and he passes you on the trial without you having to finish the arena. On the visit where he first mentions it he still sends you in; from then on he asks each time whether you want another run or want to hand over the scroll.

== Step 6: Return to Catherine ==

Go back to '''Catherine''' (''gef_tower 111, 37''). If your skill points are spent she congratulates you and performs the job change on the spot, then digs out your present.

== Rewards ==

* Job change to '''Wizard'''
* '''Sight Blaster''' at level 1
* '''Drain Life''' at level 1
* '''25 Blue Potions''' when you finish the tests, or '''6 Blue Potions''' when you take the Job Level 50 shortcut

Both skills are granted permanently and cost no skill points. The Mage platinum skills, '''First Aid''', '''Energy Coat''' and '''Napalm Beat''', are handed out again at the same time in case you are missing any of them.

== Tips ==

* Spend every skill point before you go back to Catherine for the change. She will not proceed otherwise, and it is the one gate in the quest that cannot be worked around.
* The Job Level 50 shortcut is much faster, but the three tests pay four times the potions. Decide which of the two matters more to you before you apply.
* The two material sets share no items, so gathering in advance is a gamble. Wait until Catherine names your list.
* Everything you turn in is consumed, so do not bring extras you want to keep.
* Aim for a clean run on your first exam attempt. One mistake is survivable, two are not, and only the retries relax the pass mark to 80.
* Once you have entered the arena even once, every later run is gated behind the five question quiz, so read it as part of the trial rather than a punishment.
* Bring a bolt spell of each element. Water for the Fire Room, Fire for the Earth Room and Wind for the Water Room cover almost everything you meet.
* The room timer is the real difficulty, not the monsters. Pull the far spawns towards you and keep casting rather than walking between them one at a time.
* Watch out for the Marine Sphere in the Water guardian phase, it explodes, and for the Greatest General in the Fire guardian phase, which is the hardest single fight in the trial.
* Restock SP items before you enter. You are healed between rooms but there is no shop inside the arena.
* If you ask Perro for the full explanation of the quest, she throws you out of the tower into Geffen Dungeon rather than into town, so do not ask while you are low on HP.

Sage Quest

2026-07-27T14:56:23Z

Admin: class-wiki: new Sage job change quest guide

The '''Sage Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Mage into a [[Sage]]. It is run by the Schweicherbil Magic Academy in Juno and it is the longest of the second class quests: you enrol as a student, pass a written exam of twenty questions, survive a timed practical exam in an arena, study under one of three professors, and finally write and submit a dissertation to the Dean.

There is a shortcut. A Mage who is already '''Job Level 50''' becomes a Sage the moment they speak to the Dean or to the academy clerk, with no enrolment fee, no exams, no items and no dissertation. Everyone below Job Level 50 has to work through the whole course. Unlike some other job quests there is no extra reward for taking the long route.

Which professor teaches you, and therefore which items you gather in the second half, is '''rolled at random''' when you pass the practical exam. It cannot be chosen or rerolled.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Mage'''. Transcendent characters and characters who already have a second class are turned away.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' or higher. The clerk refuses to accept your application below that.
|-
| Skill points || '''All spent'''. Enrolment is refused and the final job change is refused while you still hold unused Mage skill points.
|-
| Enrolment fee || '''70,000 zeny''', or an '''Old Magicbook''' plus a '''Necklace of Wisdom''' instead, or a reduced fee of 30,000 zeny plus a gathering set. Free at Job Level 50.
|-
| Items || Depends on the professor you are assigned. Every route ends with the same five dissertation materials.
|}

== Quest NPCs ==

{| class="wikitable"
! NPC !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Decano de la Academia''' (Kayron Grik) || ''yuno_in02 38, 61'' || Dean. Opens the quest and performs the job change
|-
| '''Metheus Sylphe''' || ''yuno_in03 154, 35'' || Academy clerk. Takes your application and the fee
|-
| '''Claytos Verdo''' || ''yuno_in03 105, 177'' || Theory professor. Written exam
|-
| '''Hermes Tris''' || ''yuno_in03 169, 180'' || Practical professor. Arena exam and thesis topic
|-
| '''Profesor Saphien''' (Saphien Layless) || ''yuno_in03 62, 176'' || History professor. Yggdrasil topic
|-
| '''Lucius Celsus''' || ''yuno_in03 32, 102'' || Biology professor. Monster topic
|-
| '''Aebecee George''' || ''yuno_in03 244, 31'' || Physics professor. Elemental magic topic
|-
| '''Ayudante''' || ''job_sage 50, 165'' || Arena attendant. Explains the rules and holds the waiting room
|}

The academy itself is the building entered from Juno at ''yuno 323, 284''. The Dean sits in a separate building entered from ''yuno 87, 321''.

== Step 1: Speak to the Dean ==

Kayron Grik, the '''Dean of the Academy''', receives visitors at ''yuno_in02 38, 61''. Tell him you want to become a Sage and he explains what the academy expects and points you at the clerk.

This visit is optional. Nothing is recorded and you can go straight to the clerk instead. At Job Level 50 the conversation ends immediately with the job change.

== Step 2: Enrol at the academy ==

Metheus Sylphe stands just inside the academy at ''yuno_in03 154, 35''. Ask to join the school. He checks your Job Level and your unspent skill points, then asks for the enrolment fee. You have three ways to pay it.

{| class="wikitable"
! Payment !! Detail
|-
| 70,000 zeny || The standard fee
|-
| Old Magicbook and Necklace of Wisdom || One of each. Both are taken and the fee is waived entirely
|-
| 30,000 zeny plus a gathering set || Only offered if you tell him the fee is too expensive '''and''' you are carrying 43,210 zeny or less
|-
| Free || Automatic at Job Level 50
|}

If you take the reduced fee he assigns one of three gathering sets at random. Bring the items and 30,000 zeny back to him.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items
|-
| Set 1 || 50 Feather of Birds, 50 Fluff, 25 Iron Ore
|-
| Set 2 || 50 Clover, 50 Feather, 25 Squid Ink
|-
| Set 3 || 50 Feather of Birds, 50 Fluff, 50 Clover, 50 Feather
|}

You can abandon the discount at any time. If you come back with 70,000 zeny, or with the Old Magicbook and the Necklace of Wisdom, he accepts those instead and the gathering set is forgotten.

Once the application is signed he sends you to Claytos Verdo in the room to the left.

== Step 3: The written exam ==

Claytos Verdo runs the theory exam at ''yuno_in03 105, 177''. He asks '''20 multiple choice questions''', each worth 5 points, drawn as a complete set from one of the three lists below.

* You need '''80 points''' to pass, which is 16 correct answers. The same mark applies on every attempt.
* Failing costs nothing. Talk to him again straight away and the set is rolled again.
* He warns that the exam is cancelled if you hesitate. There is no actual timer, so take your time.

|}

Passing sends you to Hermes Tris for the practical exam.

== Step 4: The practical exam ==

Hermes Tris waits at ''yuno_in03 169, 180''. Tell him you are ready and he sends you to the staging area of the test grounds. The '''Ayudante''' standing there explains the rules, and the '''waiting room''' beside him is what actually starts the run.

* '''Only one candidate at a time.''' If somebody else is inside, wait until the announcements say the next candidate may enter.
* All progress is announced across the whole map, including the remaining time.
* The full run takes roughly five to ten minutes.
* The arena blocks Teleport and Fly Wing, and it cannot be memoed for a Warp Portal. There is '''no experience penalty''' for dying there. If you need to leave early, log out.

The exam is three rounds. Each round starts as soon as the previous one is cleared.

{| class="wikitable"
! Round !! Time limit !! Monsters
|-
| 1 || 3 minutes || 8 Chonchon named ''Grade F'' and 8 Fabre named ''Grade D''
|-
| 2 || 3 minutes || 24 Lunatic, each named after an academic subject
|-
| 3 || 1 minute || 1 Whisper named ''Academic Probation''
|}

Round three also puts four extra Whispers on the field, named after academic misconduct such as being absent or cheating. '''They do not have to be killed.''' Only ''Academic Probation'' counts, and killing it ends the exam immediately.

If a round timer runs out the attempt is over and you are thrown back to Juno at ''yuno 324, 258''. There is no penalty and no limit on retries: talk to Hermes Tris again and he lets you straight back in. Clearing round three sends you back into the academy at ''yuno_in03 163, 180'', a few steps from his desk.

== Step 5: Receive your thesis topic ==

Speak to Hermes Tris again after passing. He accepts your admission and assigns one of three research topics '''at random''', then names the professor who will teach it.

{| class="wikitable"
! Topic !! Professor !! Location
|-
| Yggdrasil || Profesor Saphien, in the Lecture Room || ''yuno_in03 62, 176''
|-
| Monsters || Lucius Celsus, in the Monster Museum || ''yuno_in03 32, 102''
|-
| Elemental magic || Aebecee George, in the Somatology Laboratory || ''yuno_in03 244, 31''
|}

== Step 6: Study under your professor ==

Each professor runs their own lessons and their own shopping list. Follow only the section that matches your topic.

=== Topic: Yggdrasil, with Profesor Saphien ===

Saphien Layless teaches in the Lecture Room at ''yuno_in03 62, 176''. He opens with a couple of questions about Yggdrasil. Getting them wrong only earns a scolding and does not block anything.

He then asks for '''any one item related to the Yggdrasil tree''' before the lesson can begin. Any of these is accepted, and none of them is taken from you:

* Yggdrasilberry
* Yggdrasil Seed
* Yggdrasil Leaf, which he accepts grudgingly because it can simply be bought in Al De Baran

With the item in your bag he delivers a long lecture on the world tree, the three realms and the three roots, and then asks for the five dissertation materials.

=== Topic: Monsters, with Lucius Celsus ===

Lucius Celsus teaches in the Monster Museum at ''yuno_in03 32, 102''. He is rude, and he wants two rounds of samples. Each round asks for '''5 of each of three items''', rolled at random. None of the samples is taken from you, so you keep everything you gather.

The first round is about fish class monsters:

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items (5 each)
|-
| Set 1 || Tentacle, Single Cell, Fish Tail
|-
| Set 2 || Nipper, Clam Flesh, Heart of Mermaid
|-
| Set 3 || Tendon, Nipper, Sharp Scale
|}

When you hand them in he asks what the source monsters have in common and which magic works best on them. The answers he wants are that '''they are fish and carry the Water property''', and that '''Wind property magic''' beats them, so '''Lightning Bolt''' or '''Thunder Storm''' are both accepted. A wrong answer only earns an insult and does not block progress.

The second round is about insect class monsters:

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items (5 each)
|-
| Set 1 || Cobweb, Shell, Insect Feeler
|-
| Set 2 || Horn, Snail's Shell, Moth Dust
|-
| Set 3 || Mantis Scythe, Worm Peeling, Rainbow Shell
|-
| Set 4 || Cobweb, Mantis Scythe, Solid Shell
|}

After that lesson he asks for the five dissertation materials.

=== Topic: Elemental magic, with Aebecee George ===

Aebecee George teaches in the Somatology Laboratory at ''yuno_in03 244, 31''. This route has three deliveries.

'''First, bring 30 Stone.''' All thirty are taken. She then announces that only three of them worked and hands you three elemental ores in exchange:

* 1 Crystal Blue
* 1 Green Live
* 1 Wind of Verdure

'''Second, bring 50 Crystal Arrow, 50 Stone Arrow and 50 Arrow of Wind.''' All 150 arrows are taken. The three ores are the raw material: one ore turns into '''500 arrows''' of the matching type through the Arrow Crafting skill, so a single ore of each is far more than you need. No shop sells these arrows, so you need an Archer class character or a Rogue to craft them. Both of those get Arrow Crafting for free on this server, so any friend with such a character can make all three stacks from your ores in seconds. In return she gives the first lesson, on which element beats which.

'''Third, bring 1 Holy Water.''' It is taken, and she gives the second lesson, on which element is weak to which. No shop sells Holy Water either, so ask an Acolyte or Priest to make some with Aqua Benedicta.

She then asks for the five dissertation materials.

== Step 7: Write the dissertation ==

Whichever professor taught you, the materials are the same. Bring all five to your own professor:

* 1 Feather of Birds, used as a pen
* 1 Animal Skin, used as paper
* 1 Trunk, used to bind the book
* 1 Squid Ink, used as ink
* 1 Empty Bottle, to hold the squid ink

All five are taken as soon as the writing session begins, and the professor then walks you through the dissertation as a series of multiple choice lines. How much the answers matter depends on your topic.

* '''Lucius Celsus''' simply hands you a finished work to copy. There is nothing to get wrong.
* '''Aebecee George''' lets you pick any line you like, including the silly ones. Nothing can go wrong there either.
* '''Profesor Saphien''' is strict. '''A single wrong line fails the dissertation''', and because the materials were already consumed you have to gather all five again before you can retry. His correct lines are listed below.

{| class="wikitable"
! Line !! Correct answer
|-
| The ocean around the continent is coiled by || A giant snake, Yormungandr
|-
| The continent consists of three places, the first being || Utgard, where the titans live
|-
| the second being || Midgard, where humans live
|-
| the third being || Asgard, where the gods live
|-
| Yggdrasil is || A giant ash tree
|-
| The root of Yggdrasil splits into three, reaching || Asgard, Jotunnheim, Niflheim
|-
| Whoever holds a Yggdrasil Seed || can restore half of total HP and SP
|}

A finished dissertation is handed to you as a '''Book'''. You only ever write one, so keep it safe.

== Step 8: Become a Sage ==

Take the Book to Kayron Grik at ''yuno_in02 38, 61''. He reads it, praises it, and performs the job change on the spot, as long as you have no unused skill points left. The Book is not consumed, so you keep it as a souvenir.

== Rewards ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Reward !! Detail
|-
| Sage || The job change itself
|-
| Create Elemental Converter || Granted at level 1 for free
|-
| Soul Change || Granted at level 1 for free
|-
| Book || The finished dissertation stays in your inventory
|}

There is no zeny or potion reward, and no bonus for having taken the long route rather than the Job Level 50 shortcut.

== Tips ==

* Reaching Job Level 50 before you talk to anyone is by far the fastest route: the entire course collapses into one conversation and the enrolment fee disappears.
* Spend every Mage skill point before you enrol and again before your final visit to the Dean. Both NPCs refuse you while points are unspent.
* Compare the three payment options before choosing. The reduced fee is only offered when you are nearly broke, so if you are sitting on 50,000 zeny you either pay the full 70,000 or go and find the Old Magicbook and the Necklace of Wisdom.
* The written exam allows four wrong answers out of twenty and can be retaken as often as you like for free, so there is no reason to walk away from a bad set.
* Prepare for the arena before you enter. Rounds one and two are trivial for a Mage, but ''Academic Probation'' in round three is a Whisper with the Ghost property and a great deal of HP, and you only get one minute. Bolt spells are halved against it while '''Soul Strike''' and '''Napalm Beat''' are Ghost property and hit it far harder, so bring those and enough blue potions to chain them.
* The arena has no experience penalty and unlimited retries, so a failed run costs nothing but a walk back to Hermes Tris.
* Gather the five dissertation materials early. Every one of the three routes ends with them, so having them in your bag saves a trip no matter which professor you draw.
* If you draw Profesor Saphien, carry a spare set of the five materials. A single wrong line in his dissertation destroys the first set.
* If you draw Aebecee George, line up an Archer class or Rogue friend before you hand in the stones. The arrows are the only part of the quest that cannot be bought or gathered solo.

Wizard Quest

2026-07-27T14:52:18Z

Admin: class-wiki: new Wizard job change quest guide

The '''Wizard Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Mage into a [[Wizard]]. It runs on the top floor of the Geffen Tower, where two Mages share the work: Catherine takes the application and performs the change, and Raulel runs the two hard parts. The quest is split into three tests: a magic material collection, a written exam of ten questions, and a three room combat trial in a separate arena.

There is a shortcut. A Mage who has reached '''Job Level 50''' is changed on the spot by Catherine, with no tests at all. This also works in the middle of the quest: if you reach Job Level 50 while the tests are still open, she approves you the moment you talk to her.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Mage'''. Novices are sent to the Mage guild in Geffen first.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' to apply for the tests. At '''Job Level 50''' the tests are skipped entirely.
|-
| Skill points || All skill points must be spent. Catherine refuses to perform the job change while you have unused points, on both the quest path and the Job Level 50 shortcut. You can still apply and take the tests with points in reserve, so spend them before you come back for the change.
|-
| Preparation || SP recovery items, a bolt spell of each element and enough levels to kill a room of monsters in three minutes.
|}

== Where everyone stands ==

The Geffen Tower entrance is in the middle of Geffen (''geffen 120, 113''). The quest NPCs are all on the top floor, which you reach by working your way up the stairs and warps inside the tower.

{| class="wikitable"
! NPC !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Catherine''' || ''gef_tower 111, 37'' || Application, first test and the final job change.
|-
| '''Raulel''' || ''gef_tower 102, 24'' || Written exam and the combat trial.
|-
| '''Perro''' || ''gef_tower 107, 36'' || A talking dog who calls herself Maria. Optional hints for the material collection.
|-
| '''Arena Assistant''' || Inside the test arena || Explains the arena rules and hosts the waiting room that starts the combat trial.
|}

== Step 1: Apply with Catherine ==

Talk to '''Catherine''' (''gef_tower 111, 37'') and say you want to become a Wizard, then confirm the application. Below Job Level 40 she sends you back out to gain experience. At Job Level 40 or higher she accepts the application, explains the three tests and gives you the material list on the spot.

At '''Job Level 50''' the conversation is much shorter: she congratulates you, changes your class and hands over the reward.

== Step 2: The magic materials ==

Catherine picks '''one of two sets at random''' when she accepts your application, and tells you the list immediately. The set is fixed from that moment, so there is nothing to reroll.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set 1 !! Set 2
|-
| 10 Red Gemstone || 5 Crystal Blue
|-
| 10 Blue Gemstone || 5 Green Live
|-
| 10 Yellow Gemstone || 5 Red Blood
|-
| || 5 Wind of Verdure
|}

Bring everything back to her and she takes the items and sends you to Raulel in the corner. Talking to her again repeats the list if you forget it. Only the contents of your inventory are checked, so bought materials count exactly the same as hunted ones.

'''Perro''', the talking dog next to Catherine, gives hunting hints for whichever set you were given. They are suggestions rather than the only sources.

{| class="wikitable"
! Material !! Suggested source
|-
| Red Gemstone || Thief Bugs and Thief Bug Eggs in the Prontera Culverts
|-
| Blue Gemstone || Cornutus, Vadon and Marse in Byalan Dungeon, or the Geffen magic shop
|-
| Yellow Gemstone || Condor, Picky and sometimes Golem in the desert
|-
| Crystal Blue || Cornutus, Kukre, Marina and Vadon in Byalan Dungeon
|-
| Green Live || Insect monsters such as Horn, Mantis and Vitata
|-
| Red Blood || Elder Willow, Metaller and Scorpion in the desert
|-
| Wind of Verdure || Hornet, Stainer and Steel Chonchon
|}

== Step 3: The written exam ==

'''Raulel''' (''gef_tower 102, 24'') offers you one last chance to walk away, then starts the exam. It is '''ten questions''' worth ten points each, drawn at random from '''one of three question sets''': one about magic, one about monsters and one about Mages themselves. He does not tell you which answers you got wrong, only the final score.

The pass mark depends on the attempt:

* '''First attempt:''' you need '''90 points or more''', so at most one wrong answer.
* '''Any later attempt:''' '''80 points''' is enough, so at most two wrong answers.

Failing simply sends you away. Talk to him again and he restarts the exam from the beginning, as often as you like.

After a failed exam, Catherine will sell you a hint for '''1 Apple Juice'''. She drinks it and then explains that the exam is drawn from three topics, magic, monsters and Mages, and where to study for each. It is flavour rather than a list of answers, so it is optional.

=== Set 1: Magic ===

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which of the following is not necessary to learn Fire Wall? || '''Napalm Beat Lv 4'''
|-
| 2 || Regardless of its previous attribute, what does a monster's attribute change to when you cast Frost Diver on it? || '''Water'''
|-
| 3 || When you completely master Napalm Beat, what is the ratio of the increased MATK using that spell? || '''1.7 times'''
|-
| 4 || What item do you need when casting Stone Curse? || '''Red Gemstone'''
|-
| 5 || Which of the following is not required to master Safety Wall? || '''Increase SP Recovery Lv 6'''
|-
| 6 || Without the INT bonus, how much SP is recovered every 10 seconds with Increase SP Recovery Lv 7? || '''21'''
|-
| 7 || Using Energy Coat with 50% of your SP remaining, how much SP is used when hit and by what percentage is damage reduced? || '''Damage 18%, SP 2%'''
|-
| 8 || How much SP is consumed and how many attacks can you avoid with Safety Wall Lv 6? || '''SP 40, 7 times'''
|-
| 9 || How much SP is needed when using Thunderstorm Lv 10? || '''74'''
|-
| 10 || Which skill is most useful for training in Byalan Dungeon? || '''Lightning Bolt'''
|}

=== Set 2: Monsters ===

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which monster can you obtain a slotted Guard from? || '''Pupa'''
|-
| 2 || Which of the following is the easiest monster for a low level Mage to hunt? || '''Flora'''
|-
| 3 || Which monster will not be affected by Stone Curse? || '''Evil Druid'''
|-
| 4 || When attacking a Lv 3 water attribute monster with a wind attribute weapon, what is the damage percentage? || '''200%'''
|-
| 5 || If a Baby Desert Wolf and a Familiar fought, which one would win? || '''Baby Desert Wolf'''
|-
| 6 || Which of the following cannot be a Cute Pet? || '''Roda Frog'''
|-
| 7 || Choose the monster that is weak against a fire attribute attack. || '''Hammer Goblin'''
|-
| 8 || Which of the following has the highest defense? || '''Caramel'''
|-
| 9 || Choose the monster that is of a different species. || '''Ghostring'''
|-
| 10 || Which of the following is not an Undead monster? || '''Deviace'''
|}

=== Set 3: Mages ===

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which stat is the most important for a Mage? || '''INT'''
|-
| 2 || Which attribute does not have a Bolt type attack? || '''Earth'''
|-
| 3 || Choose the one that does not relate to a Mage. || '''Good at selling stuff'''
|-
| 4 || Which town is the home of Mages? || '''Geffen'''
|-
| 5 || Which of the following cards has nothing to do with INT? || '''Soldier Andre Card'''
|-
| 6 || What is the Mage good at compared to other job classes? || '''Exceptional Magic Skills'''
|-
| 7 || What is the INT bonus at Job Lv 40 for a Mage? || '''5'''
|-
| 8 || Which item can a Mage not equip? || '''Boys Cap'''
|-
| 9 || Which of the following is the catalyst when making the Mage test solution 3? || '''Blue Gemstone'''
|-
| 10 || Which card is irrelevant to magic? || '''Magnolia Card'''
|}

== Step 4: The combat trial ==

Talk to '''Raulel''' again once you have passed the exam. He offers an explanation of the trial, and either answer eventually sends you to the arena. Choosing to hear him out costs nothing and he ends with the same offer to go in.

Be aware that the moment you reach that decision you are counted as having started the trial, '''even if you choose to go back to town'''. Backing out is treated the same as a failed run, so the retry quiz in the next step applies from then on.

Entering warps you to the arena lobby and sets your save point to Geffen, so a death during the trial sends you there. The '''Arena Assistant''' explains the rules; to actually start, join the waiting room chat next to him. Only '''one candidate runs at a time''', so if somebody else is inside you have to wait for the arena to reopen. A full run takes roughly five to ten minutes.

The trial is three rooms in a fixed order, Water then Earth then Fire. Each room has two phases: clear every monster in the room within '''three minutes''', then a '''guardian''' spawns with its own shorter timer. Beating the guardian moves you on, and you are fully healed on the way into the Earth and Fire rooms.

{| class="wikitable"
! Room !! Phase !! Monsters !! Time limit
|-
| rowspan="2" | Water Room || Clear out || 1 Obeaune, 1 Phen, 1 Shellfish, 1 Vadon, 1 Cornutus, 1 Marina, 1 Marin, 1 Magnolia || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Marine Sphere and 4 Hydra || 1 minute
|-
| rowspan="2" | Earth Room || Clear out || 1 Hode, 1 Savage, 1 Mantis, 1 Yoyo, 1 Deniro, 1 Caramel, 1 Giearth, 1 Bigfoot, 1 Orc Warrior, 1 Vitata || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Flora and 6 Mandragora || 1 minute
|-
| rowspan="2" | Fire Room || Clear out || 1 Zerom, 1 Desert Wolf, 1 Goblin, 1 Scorpion, 1 Frilldora, 1 Peco Peco, 1 Elder Willow, 1 Metaller || 3 minutes
|-
| Guardian || 1 Greatest General and 2 Horong || 2 minutes
|}

Announcements count the remaining time down for you in every phase. If a timer runs out, the monsters are removed, you are sent back to Geffen and the arena resets for the next candidate. Nothing is lost except the time.

Clearing the Fire guardian passes the trial. You are congratulated, given a few seconds to read the closing announcements and then warped back to the top of the Geffen Tower, next to Catherine.

== Step 5: Retrying the combat trial ==

Raulel does not simply wave you back in. Before every new attempt he asks '''five questions''' worth twenty points each, and you need '''80 points or more''', so at most one wrong answer. Pass and he heals you fully and sends you back to the arena. Score less and you have to talk to him again and answer them once more.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Choose the monster with a different attribute than the others. || '''Cornutus'''
|-
| 2 || Choose the monster that is not a looting one. || '''Zerom'''
|-
| 3 || Which of these monsters does not recognize casting? || '''Marina'''
|-
| 4 || Choose the spell that would be efficient against a Marine Sphere. || '''Lightning Bolt'''
|-
| 5 || Choose the monster that can move. || '''Frilldora'''
|}

There is also a way out for players who keep getting stuck. Once you have cleared the '''Water Room''' phase six times in total, Raulel starts offering a trade: bring him '''1 Worn Out Scroll''' for his research and he passes you on the trial without you having to finish the arena. On the visit where he first mentions it he still sends you in; from then on he asks each time whether you want another run or want to hand over the scroll.

== Step 6: Return to Catherine ==

Go back to '''Catherine''' (''gef_tower 111, 37''). If your skill points are spent she congratulates you and performs the job change on the spot, then digs out your present.

== Rewards ==

* Job change to '''Wizard'''
* '''Sight Blaster''' at level 1
* '''Drain Life''' at level 1
* '''6 Blue Potions''' when you finish the tests, or '''25 Blue Potions''' when you take the Job Level 50 shortcut

Both skills are granted permanently and cost no skill points. The Mage platinum skills, '''First Aid''', '''Energy Coat''' and '''Napalm Beat''', are handed out again at the same time in case you are missing any of them.

== Tips ==

* Spend every skill point before you go back to Catherine for the change. She will not proceed otherwise, and it is the one gate in the quest that cannot be worked around.
* The Job Level 50 shortcut is faster and currently pays the larger potion reward, so if you are close to it there is little reason to grind through the tests.
* The two material sets share no items, so gathering in advance is a gamble. Wait until Catherine names your list.
* Everything you turn in is consumed, so do not bring extras you want to keep.
* Aim for a clean run on your first exam attempt. One mistake is survivable, two are not, and only the retries relax the pass mark to 80.
* Do not open the final conversation with Raulel until you actually intend to fight. Even declining counts as an attempt and puts the five question quiz between you and the arena forever after.
* Bring a bolt spell of each element. Water for the Fire Room, Fire for the Earth Room and Wind for the Water Room cover almost everything you meet.
* The room timer is the real difficulty, not the monsters. Pull the far spawns towards you and keep casting rather than walking between them one at a time.
* Watch out for the Marine Sphere in the Water guardian phase, it explodes, and for the Greatest General in the Fire guardian phase, which is the hardest single fight in the trial.
* Restock SP items before you enter. You are healed between rooms but there is no shop inside the arena.
* If you ask Perro for the full explanation of the quest, she throws you out of the tower into Geffen Dungeon rather than into town, so do not ask while you are low on HP.

Knight Quest

2026-07-27T14:41:07Z

Admin: class-wiki: swap Awakening Potion reward (trials 7, shortcut 3)

The '''Knight Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Swordman into a [[Knight]]. The whole quest takes place inside the Prontera Chivalry, where six Knights each run a trial of their own: an item collection, a knowledge quiz, a three stage combat trial, an etiquette test, a test of patience and a closing interview. When all of them have approved you, the Chivalry Captain performs the job change.

There is a shortcut. A Swordman who has reached '''Job Level 50''' can change class straight away by talking to the captain, with no trials at all. Starting the quest earlier does not lock you in: if you reach Job Level 50 while the quest is open, the captain still changes you on the spot.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Swordman'''. Novices are sent to the Swordman Guild in Izlude first.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' to apply for the trials. At '''Job Level 50''' the trials are skipped entirely.
|-
| Skill points || All skill points must be spent. The captain refuses to perform the job change while you have unused points, on both the quest path and the Job Level 50 shortcut.
|-
| Preparation || Potions, decent armour and a weapon you are comfortable with, for the combat trial.
|}

== The Knights and where they stand ==

Every NPC is inside the Prontera Chivalry. The entrance is in the north-west of Prontera (''prontera 45, 346'') and leads into the hall the Knights use.

{| class="wikitable"
! Knight !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Capitán Herman''' || ''prt_in 88, 101'' || Chivalry Captain. Application and final job change.
|-
| '''Sir Andrew''' || ''prt_in 75, 107'' || First trial, item collection.
|-
| '''Sir Siracuse''' || ''prt_in 71, 91'' || Second trial, knowledge quiz.
|-
| '''Sir Windsor''' || ''prt_in 79, 94'' || Third trial, combat.
|-
| '''Amy Beatrice''' || ''prt_in 69, 107'' || Fourth trial, etiquette.
|-
| '''Sir Edmond''' || ''prt_in 70, 99'' || Fifth trial, patience.
|-
| '''Sir Gray''' || ''prt_in 87, 92'' || Final interview. Also forges Claymores for Knights.
|}

The trials must be taken '''in that order'''. Each Knight turns you away until the previous one has passed you, and the captain will remind you who is next if you get lost.

== Step 1: Apply with the captain ==

[[File:Knight Quest chivalry captain.png|thumb|right|300px|The Chivalry Captain waits behind the counter at the back of the hall.]]

Talk to '''Capitán Herman''' (''prt_in 88, 101'') and say you want to change your class to Knight, then confirm the application. Below Job Level 40 he sends you back out to fight. At Job Level 40 or higher he explains the procedure and points you to Sir Andrew.

At '''Job Level 50''' the conversation is much shorter: he approves you immediately, changes your class and hands over the reward.

== Step 2: Sir Andrew, the collection ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir andrew.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Andrew hands out the material list.]]

'''Sir Andrew''' (''prt_in 75, 107'') tests loyalty by sending you out for materials. He picks '''one of two sets at random''', and each item is needed '''five times'''.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set 1 !! Set 2
|-
| 5 Elder Pixie's Moustache || 5 Bug Leg
|-
| 5 Wing of Red Bat || 5 Heart of Mermaid
|-
| 5 Orcish Voucher || 5 Maneater Blossom
|-
| 5 Moth Dust || 5 Clam Flesh
|-
| 5 Reptile Tongue || 5 Old Frying Pan
|-
| 5 Mane || 5 Snail's Shell
|}

Which set you get is fixed once he tells you the list, so there is no point in trying to reroll it. Bring everything back to him and he takes the items and sends you on to Sir Siracuse. Talking to him again repeats the list if you forget it.

If you happen to be at Job Level 50 when you first ask him for the trial, he waives the collection and passes you straight to Sir Siracuse.

== Step 3: Sir Siracuse, the quiz ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir siracuse.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Siracuse runs the knowledge quiz.]]

'''Sir Siracuse''' (''prt_in 71, 91'') asks eight questions in a row: five about Knight mechanics, three about attitude. A single wrong answer ends the quiz, but you can talk to him again and retake it from the beginning as often as you like.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which of these weapons is not affected by Two Hand Quicken? || '''Flamberge'''
|-
| 2 || Which skill is not required to learn Bowling Bash? || '''Provoke Lv.10'''
|-
| 3 || Which skill is not required to learn Brandish Spear? || '''Spear Boomerang Lv.3'''
|-
| 4 || Which spear can damage a Nightmare, a Ghost element monster? || '''Zephyrus'''
|-
| 5 || What attack speed do you keep with Cavalier Mastery Lv.3? || '''80% of normal speed'''
|-
| 6 || What should you do when a Novice asks for help in town? || '''Suggest a good hunting spot'''
|-
| 7 || How should you behave in a party? || '''Protect everyone on the front line'''
|-
| 8 || What is the most important value for a Knight? || '''Honor'''
|}

Passing sends you to Sir Windsor.

== Step 4: Sir Windsor, the combat trial ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir windsor.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Windsor walks you into the testing hall.]]

'''Sir Windsor''' (''prt_in 79, 94'') says almost nothing. Tell him Sir Siracuse sent you and he walks you into the Chivalry testing hall.

Inside, '''Knight Windsor''' explains the rules and can send you back to town if you change your mind. To begin, join the waiting room chat next to him (''Sala de Espera''). Only one attempt runs at a time, so if someone else is already inside you have to wait for the room to reopen.

The trial is '''three stages''', each with a '''three minute limit'''. Clearing a stage warps you to the next one immediately.

{| class="wikitable"
! Stage !! Monsters
|-
| 1 || 4 Dustiness, 2 Andre, 2 Piere, 2 Deniro, 2 Argos
|-
| 2 || 2 Desert Wolf, 4 Anacondaq, 2 Frilldora, 4 Drainliar
|-
| 3 || All five kinds of Goblin, 1 Goblin Archer, 1 Steam Goblin
|}

Every monster in a stage has to die. If the three minutes run out you are sent back to the Chivalry with no penalty beyond the lost time, and you can ask Sir Windsor for another run straight away. Clearing the third stage sends you to Amy Beatrice.

== Step 5: Amy Beatrice, the etiquette test ==

[[File:Knight Quest lady amy.png|thumb|right|300px|Amy Beatrice grades your manners by the fireplace.]]

'''Amy Beatrice''' (''prt_in 69, 107'') tells a long story about a hunting trip and stops ten times to ask what you would do. You may get '''at most one answer wrong'''; two mistakes fail the test, and she lets you retake it from the start.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Situation !! Accepted answer
|-
| 1 || Looking for a party in Morroc || Open a chat and wait, or look for people who want a Knight. Do not shout for a party.
|-
| 2 || The party arrives at Pyramids level 4 || Explore the area and plan, or take the front and lead slowly. Do not lure monsters for the party.
|-
| 3 || Rude players drag a mob onto your party and vanish || Defend while the party retreats.
|-
| 4 || A collapsed stranger politely asks for help || Ask your party's Priest to help.
|-
| 5 || You find a rare item during the fight || Give it to whoever deserves it most, or decide with the party. Do not quietly keep it.
|-
| 6 || Selling that item among the shops of Prontera || Ask whether anyone is interested.
|-
| 7 || Someone walks up and begs you for zeny and items || Suggest a place to level.
|-
| 8 || You meet somebody who is lost || Tell them the way out, or guide them yourself. Do not just hand over a Butterfly Wing.
|-
| 9 || Your HP is red and a Priest walks past || Could you heal me, please?
|-
| 10 || A rare item is lying on the ground on your way home || Ask who it belongs to, or leave it. Do not pick it up and keep it.
|}

A clean run earns you her best recommendation to the captain. Passing sends you to Sir Edmond.

== Step 6: Sir Edmond, the test of patience ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir edmond.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Edmond sends you into the room where doing nothing is the whole test.]]

'''Sir Edmond''' (''prt_in 70, 99'') warns you not to kill anything for no reason, then warps you into a small room ringed with '''4 Porings, 4 Lunatics and 4 Chonchons''', with a few Mushrooms further out.

The whole test is to '''do nothing'''. Sit down and wait. The exit opens on a five minute cycle, so the wait can be anything up to five minutes depending on when you walk in, and stepping on it when it appears completes the trial and returns you to the Chivalry.

'''Killing any of those monsters fails the trial instantly.''' You are scolded and dumped in Prontera field, and you have to walk back and apologise to Sir Edmond to try again. Turn off anything that retaliates automatically before you go in, and keep away from the Mushrooms in the corners.

== Step 7: Sir Gray, the interview ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir gray.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Gray closes the quest with a conversation.]]

'''Sir Gray''' (''prt_in 87, 92'') calls it a chat rather than a test. He asks two questions, each with a follow-up that depends on your first answer, and he weighs the whole conversation. He forgives one questionable answer, but a greedy one sinks the interview on its own. Failing simply means coming back and talking to him again.

'''Why did you decide to become a Knight?'''

{| class="wikitable"
! Answer !! Follow-up !! Safe reply
|-
| To become stronger || What is the value of a Knight's strength to you? || To protect myself, or to protect others. '''Never''' wealth and fame.
|-
| To help my guild || How can you help your guild? || My guild needs me, or I can protect my companions. '''Never''' by raising funds.
|-
| Because I am not satisfied with myself || What are you unsatisfied with? || Goals. This is the only combination in this branch that leaves no doubt behind.
|}

'''If you became a Knight right now, what would you do first?'''

{| class="wikitable"
! Answer !! Follow-up !! Safe reply
|-
| I would go straight into combat || And then? || To test my skills, or to face greater challenges. Avoid wanting to grow quickly.
|-
| There are people waiting for me || Who is waiting for you? || Friends, guild or partner. All three are fine.
|-
| I would learn more about Knights || What do you plan to learn? || The ways of the Knight. '''Never''' ways to make money, which fails the interview by itself.
|}

Passing sends you back to the captain for the verdict.

== Step 8: The verdict ==

Return to '''Capitán Herman''' (''prt_in 88, 101'') and he polls every Knight who tested you. All of them approve, he adds his own approval, and the job change happens.

== Rewards ==

* Job change to '''Knight'''
* '''Charge Attack''' at level 1
* '''Riding''' at level 1, which lets a Knight mount a Peco Peco
* '''7 Awakening Potions''' when you finish the trials, or '''3 Awakening Potions''' when you take the Job Level 50 shortcut

Both skills are granted permanently and cost no skill points.

== After the change ==

'''Sir Gray''' forges a '''Claymore''' for Knights of the Chivalry. He asks for '''74,000 zeny''' and '''1 Steel''', and you need enough free weight for a heavy two-handed sword before he will start.

== Tips ==

* If you are already close to Job Level 50, the shortcut is much faster. Working through the trials pays the larger potion reward, so decide which of the two you care about before you apply.
* Collect the materials for Sir Andrew with the set list in front of you. The two sets share no items, so anything you gather in advance may be wasted.
* Everything you turn in to Sir Andrew is consumed, so do not bring extras you want to keep.
* For the combat trial, most of the first stage is Earth element and most of the second is Fire element, so a fire endowment for stage one and a water endowment for stage two help a lot. Stage three is a mix and a plain weapon does fine.
* The stage timer is short. Fight from the middle of the arena and pull the far spawns in rather than chasing them one by one.
* Before the patience test, unequip or disable anything that hits back on its own, and simply sit still.
* The tests can be retaken as often as needed. Nothing except your time is lost when a trial fails.

Crusader Quest

2026-07-27T14:34:55Z

Admin: class-wiki: new Crusader job change quest guide

The '''Crusader Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Swordman into a [[Crusader]]. It is run by the Crusader order inside Prontera Castle and is built out of four tests: an item task, a test of patience in the castle prison, a written knowledge exam in Prontera Church, and a purification followed by a timed battle against waves of Undead.

There is a shortcut. A Swordman who is already '''Job Level 50''' becomes a Crusader the moment they speak to the Senior Crusader, with no tests and no items at all, and receives a larger reward for it. Everyone below Job Level 50 has to work through the four tests. Carrying a '''Chivalry Emblem''' and a '''Hand of God''' skips only the item gathering, not the tests.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Swordman'''. Transcendent characters and characters who already have a second class are turned away.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' or higher. The recruiter refuses to open the quest below that.
|-
| Skill points || '''All spent'''. Every step that could advance you stops while you still hold unused Swordman skill points.
|-
| Equipment || A '''Rosary''' worn in an accessory slot. It is checked for the test of patience and again for the battle test. The Nun in Prontera Church (''prt_church 108, 124'') sells them.
|-
| Items || '''1 Holy Water''', consumed by the purification before the battle test. Also the gathering set the recruiter asks for, unless you bring a '''Chivalry Emblem''' and a '''Hand of God''' instead.
|}

== Quest NPCs ==

{| class="wikitable"
! NPC !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Senior Crusader''' (Michael Halig) || ''prt_castle 45, 169'' || Opens the quest, sets the item task, performs the job change
|-
| '''Murnak Mijoul''', the Man in Anguish || ''prt_castle 164, 32'' || Test of patience, in the castle prison
|-
| '''Gabriel Valentine''' || ''prt_church 95, 125'' || Knowledge exam
|-
| '''Patron Knight''' (Bliant Piyord) || ''prt_castle 35, 151'' || Purification and battle test
|}

== Step 1: Speak to the Senior Crusader ==

[[File:Crusader Quest senior crusader.png|thumb|right|300px|The Senior Crusader receives candidates in the west wing of Prontera Castle.]]

Michael Halig, the '''Senior Crusader''', stands in the west wing of Prontera Castle at ''prt_castle 45, 169''. Tell him you want to prepare for the Holy War and confirm that you are ready for the tests.

* At Job Level 50 the conversation ends immediately with the job change.
* Below Job Level 50, and if you are not carrying the two sacred items, he assigns you one of three item sets at random.
* If you already carry a '''Chivalry Emblem''' and a '''Hand of God''', he takes one of each and sends you straight to the second test.

== Step 2: The item task ==

Bring '''10 of each''' of the four items in your assigned set back to the Senior Crusader. Which set you get is random and cannot be rerolled. All four stacks are taken when you hand them in.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set !! Items (10 each)
|-
| Set 1 || Decayed Nail, Stinky Scale, Worn-out Prison Uniform, Daenggie
|-
| Set 2 || Skel-Bone, Orc Claw, Manacles, Short Daenggie
|-
| Set 3 || Horrendous Mouth, Rotten Bandage, Lantern, Jack o' Pumpkin
|}

Once the items are handed over he sends you to the castle prison to find Murnak Mijoul.

== Step 3: The test of patience ==

[[File:Crusader Quest man in anguish.png|thumb|right|300px|The Man in Anguish trains behind bars in the castle prison.]]

Murnak Mijoul trains in the underground prison of Prontera Castle at ''prt_castle 164, 32''. You must be '''wearing a Rosary''' before he will speak about the test, and he will not start it before the item task is done.

He drops you at one end of a narrow corridor. The task is to '''walk to the far end without killing anything'''.

* '''Killing any monster fails the test instantly''' and throws you out to Prontera Field (''prt_fild05 353, 251'').
* Reaching the far end passes the test and returns you to the prison.
* You may retake it as often as you like. Talk to Murnak again, with the Rosary still equipped, and he sends you back in.

The corridor holds the following monsters. None of them has to be touched.

{| class="wikitable"
! Monster !! Count !! Where
|-
| Mandragora || 12 || Two columns along the whole corridor
|-
| Flora || 7 || Spread down the middle
|-
| Greatest General || 8 || Grouped in the middle and far half
|-
| Familiar || 9 || A single line straight up the centre
|-
| Mushroom || 2 || '''Behind''' the point where you appear
|}

Practical advice: hug the walls, keep Endure ready, and turn off any auto attack. The two Mushrooms sitting behind your starting position are the most common way to fail, because players walk backwards into them out of habit. Teleport and Fly Wing do not work inside the corridor, so the only ways out are the far end or death.

== Step 4: The knowledge exam ==

[[File:Crusader Quest examiner.png|thumb|right|300px|Gabriel Valentine keeps watch inside Prontera Church and runs the exam.]]

Gabriel Valentine guards Prontera Church, at ''prt_church 95, 125''. He asks '''10 multiple choice questions''', each worth 10 points, drawn as a complete set from one of the three lists below.

* On your '''first attempt''' you need '''90 points''', which is 9 correct answers.
* On '''every later attempt''' 80 points is accepted, so 8 correct answers is enough.
* Failing costs nothing. You can restart the exam right away, and the set you receive is rolled again.

| Which of the following best describes a Crusader? || Someone preparing for the Holy War
|}

Passing sends you to Bliant Piyord for the last test.

== Step 5: Purification and the battle test ==

[[File:Crusader Quest patron knight.png|thumb|right|300px|The Patron Knight purifies candidates and opens the battle test.]]

The '''Patron Knight''', Bliant Piyord, waits at ''prt_castle 35, 151''. Tell him you would like to begin. He checks two things and refuses otherwise:

* A '''Rosary''' worn in an accessory slot.
* '''1 Holy Water''', which he consumes to purify you.

He then sends you to the staging area of the test grounds. A second Patron Knight stands there with the rules, and the '''waiting room''' beside him is what actually starts the run.

* '''Only one candidate at a time.''' If somebody else is inside, wait until the ground is free again.
* You have '''4 minutes''' from the moment you are let in. When the time runs out you are pulled back to the staging area whatever state the fight is in.
* Walk north. Each wave spawns as you cross into its part of the corridor, so nothing attacks you before you are ready for it.

{| class="wikitable"
! Wave !! Monsters
|-
| 1 || 6 Zombie
|-
| 2 || 3 Soldier Skeleton
|-
| 3 || 1 Archer Skeleton and 1 Mummy
|-
| 4 || 1 Ghoul, which appears carrying your own character name
|}

You are recorded as having passed once '''ten monsters have fallen''', which the first three waves cover. The Ghoul in the fourth wave is what opens the exit portal at the north end, so killing it lets you leave at once instead of waiting for the clock.

Dying is not an automatic failure and the test grounds carry '''no experience penalty''', but you are sent back to your save point, so anything left alive stays alive. If you go down before the tenth monster the attempt is lost and you take the test again. After a failed or abandoned run the ground clears itself when the 4 minutes expire, so give it a moment before starting over.

== Step 6: Become a Crusader ==

Return to the '''Senior Crusader''' at ''prt_castle 45, 169''. He completes the job change on the spot, as long as you have no unused skill points left.

{| class="wikitable"
! Reward !! Condition
|-
| 12 White Potions || You are '''Job Level 50''' when you change
|-
| 6 White Potions || Any other Job Level
|}

The job change also grants '''Defense Expert''' and '''Riding''' at level 1 for free, so a new Crusader can mount a Peco Peco without spending skill points on it.

== Tips ==

* Reaching Job Level 50 before you talk to anyone is by far the fastest route: the whole quest collapses into one conversation and the reward doubles.
* Buy the Rosary first. Three separate steps check for it, and each refusal costs a walk back to Prontera Church.
* Keep the Rosary on until the battle test is finished. It is checked again at the very last NPC.
* Spend every Swordman skill point before your final visit to the Senior Crusader, or he will send you away at the last moment.
* For the battle test bring White Potions and a weapon that hurts Undead. Holy damage, Fire damage and a Rosary in the second accessory slot all help, and Zombies, Mummies and the Ghoul are all Undead.
* The corridor test and the battle grounds both block Teleport and Fly Wing, and neither map accepts a Warp Portal memo point.

Knight Quest

2026-07-27T14:34:43Z

Admin: class-wiki: new Knight job change quest guide

The '''Knight Quest''' is the job change quest that turns a Swordman into a [[Knight]]. The whole quest takes place inside the Prontera Chivalry, where six Knights each run a trial of their own: an item collection, a knowledge quiz, a three stage combat trial, an etiquette test, a test of patience and a closing interview. When all of them have approved you, the Chivalry Captain performs the job change.

There is a shortcut. A Swordman who has reached '''Job Level 50''' can change class straight away by talking to the captain, with no trials at all. Starting the quest earlier does not lock you in: if you reach Job Level 50 while the quest is open, the captain still changes you on the spot.

== Requirements ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Requirement !! Detail
|-
| Class || '''Swordman'''. Novices are sent to the Swordman Guild in Izlude first.
|-
| Job Level || '''40''' to apply for the trials. At '''Job Level 50''' the trials are skipped entirely.
|-
| Skill points || All skill points must be spent. The captain refuses to perform the job change while you have unused points, on both the quest path and the Job Level 50 shortcut.
|-
| Preparation || Potions, decent armour and a weapon you are comfortable with, for the combat trial.
|}

== The Knights and where they stand ==

Every NPC is inside the Prontera Chivalry. The entrance is in the north-west of Prontera (''prontera 45, 346'') and leads into the hall the Knights use.

{| class="wikitable"
! Knight !! Location !! Role
|-
| '''Capitán Herman''' || ''prt_in 88, 101'' || Chivalry Captain. Application and final job change.
|-
| '''Sir Andrew''' || ''prt_in 75, 107'' || First trial, item collection.
|-
| '''Sir Siracuse''' || ''prt_in 71, 91'' || Second trial, knowledge quiz.
|-
| '''Sir Windsor''' || ''prt_in 79, 94'' || Third trial, combat.
|-
| '''Amy Beatrice''' || ''prt_in 69, 107'' || Fourth trial, etiquette.
|-
| '''Sir Edmond''' || ''prt_in 70, 99'' || Fifth trial, patience.
|-
| '''Sir Gray''' || ''prt_in 87, 92'' || Final interview. Also forges Claymores for Knights.
|}

The trials must be taken '''in that order'''. Each Knight turns you away until the previous one has passed you, and the captain will remind you who is next if you get lost.

== Step 1: Apply with the captain ==

[[File:Knight Quest chivalry captain.png|thumb|right|300px|The Chivalry Captain waits behind the counter at the back of the hall.]]

Talk to '''Capitán Herman''' (''prt_in 88, 101'') and say you want to change your class to Knight, then confirm the application. Below Job Level 40 he sends you back out to fight. At Job Level 40 or higher he explains the procedure and points you to Sir Andrew.

At '''Job Level 50''' the conversation is much shorter: he approves you immediately, changes your class and hands over the reward.

== Step 2: Sir Andrew, the collection ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir andrew.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Andrew hands out the material list.]]

'''Sir Andrew''' (''prt_in 75, 107'') tests loyalty by sending you out for materials. He picks '''one of two sets at random''', and each item is needed '''five times'''.

{| class="wikitable"
! Set 1 !! Set 2
|-
| 5 Elder Pixie's Moustache || 5 Bug Leg
|-
| 5 Wing of Red Bat || 5 Heart of Mermaid
|-
| 5 Orcish Voucher || 5 Maneater Blossom
|-
| 5 Moth Dust || 5 Clam Flesh
|-
| 5 Reptile Tongue || 5 Old Frying Pan
|-
| 5 Mane || 5 Snail's Shell
|}

Which set you get is fixed once he tells you the list, so there is no point in trying to reroll it. Bring everything back to him and he takes the items and sends you on to Sir Siracuse. Talking to him again repeats the list if you forget it.

If you happen to be at Job Level 50 when you first ask him for the trial, he waives the collection and passes you straight to Sir Siracuse.

== Step 3: Sir Siracuse, the quiz ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir siracuse.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Siracuse runs the knowledge quiz.]]

'''Sir Siracuse''' (''prt_in 71, 91'') asks eight questions in a row: five about Knight mechanics, three about attitude. A single wrong answer ends the quiz, but you can talk to him again and retake it from the beginning as often as you like.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Question !! Correct answer
|-
| 1 || Which of these weapons is not affected by Two Hand Quicken? || '''Flamberge'''
|-
| 2 || Which skill is not required to learn Bowling Bash? || '''Provoke Lv.10'''
|-
| 3 || Which skill is not required to learn Brandish Spear? || '''Spear Boomerang Lv.3'''
|-
| 4 || Which spear can damage a Nightmare, a Ghost element monster? || '''Zephyrus'''
|-
| 5 || What attack speed do you keep with Cavalier Mastery Lv.3? || '''80% of normal speed'''
|-
| 6 || What should you do when a Novice asks for help in town? || '''Suggest a good hunting spot'''
|-
| 7 || How should you behave in a party? || '''Protect everyone on the front line'''
|-
| 8 || What is the most important value for a Knight? || '''Honor'''
|}

Passing sends you to Sir Windsor.

== Step 4: Sir Windsor, the combat trial ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir windsor.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Windsor walks you into the testing hall.]]

'''Sir Windsor''' (''prt_in 79, 94'') says almost nothing. Tell him Sir Siracuse sent you and he walks you into the Chivalry testing hall.

Inside, '''Knight Windsor''' explains the rules and can send you back to town if you change your mind. To begin, join the waiting room chat next to him (''Sala de Espera''). Only one attempt runs at a time, so if someone else is already inside you have to wait for the room to reopen.

The trial is '''three stages''', each with a '''three minute limit'''. Clearing a stage warps you to the next one immediately.

{| class="wikitable"
! Stage !! Monsters
|-
| 1 || 4 Dustiness, 2 Andre, 2 Piere, 2 Deniro, 2 Argos
|-
| 2 || 2 Desert Wolf, 4 Anacondaq, 2 Frilldora, 4 Drainliar
|-
| 3 || All five kinds of Goblin, 1 Goblin Archer, 1 Steam Goblin
|}

Every monster in a stage has to die. If the three minutes run out you are sent back to the Chivalry with no penalty beyond the lost time, and you can ask Sir Windsor for another run straight away. Clearing the third stage sends you to Amy Beatrice.

== Step 5: Amy Beatrice, the etiquette test ==

[[File:Knight Quest lady amy.png|thumb|right|300px|Amy Beatrice grades your manners by the fireplace.]]

'''Amy Beatrice''' (''prt_in 69, 107'') tells a long story about a hunting trip and stops ten times to ask what you would do. You may get '''at most one answer wrong'''; two mistakes fail the test, and she lets you retake it from the start.

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Situation !! Accepted answer
|-
| 1 || Looking for a party in Morroc || Open a chat and wait, or look for people who want a Knight. Do not shout for a party.
|-
| 2 || The party arrives at Pyramids level 4 || Explore the area and plan, or take the front and lead slowly. Do not lure monsters for the party.
|-
| 3 || Rude players drag a mob onto your party and vanish || Defend while the party retreats.
|-
| 4 || A collapsed stranger politely asks for help || Ask your party's Priest to help.
|-
| 5 || You find a rare item during the fight || Give it to whoever deserves it most, or decide with the party. Do not quietly keep it.
|-
| 6 || Selling that item among the shops of Prontera || Ask whether anyone is interested.
|-
| 7 || Someone walks up and begs you for zeny and items || Suggest a place to level.
|-
| 8 || You meet somebody who is lost || Tell them the way out, or guide them yourself. Do not just hand over a Butterfly Wing.
|-
| 9 || Your HP is red and a Priest walks past || Could you heal me, please?
|-
| 10 || A rare item is lying on the ground on your way home || Ask who it belongs to, or leave it. Do not pick it up and keep it.
|}

A clean run earns you her best recommendation to the captain. Passing sends you to Sir Edmond.

== Step 6: Sir Edmond, the test of patience ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir edmond.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Edmond sends you into the room where doing nothing is the whole test.]]

'''Sir Edmond''' (''prt_in 70, 99'') warns you not to kill anything for no reason, then warps you into a small room ringed with '''4 Porings, 4 Lunatics and 4 Chonchons''', with a few Mushrooms further out.

The whole test is to '''do nothing'''. Sit down and wait. The exit opens on a five minute cycle, so the wait can be anything up to five minutes depending on when you walk in, and stepping on it when it appears completes the trial and returns you to the Chivalry.

'''Killing any of those monsters fails the trial instantly.''' You are scolded and dumped in Prontera field, and you have to walk back and apologise to Sir Edmond to try again. Turn off anything that retaliates automatically before you go in, and keep away from the Mushrooms in the corners.

== Step 7: Sir Gray, the interview ==

[[File:Knight Quest sir gray.png|thumb|right|300px|Sir Gray closes the quest with a conversation.]]

'''Sir Gray''' (''prt_in 87, 92'') calls it a chat rather than a test. He asks two questions, each with a follow-up that depends on your first answer, and he weighs the whole conversation. He forgives one questionable answer, but a greedy one sinks the interview on its own. Failing simply means coming back and talking to him again.

'''Why did you decide to become a Knight?'''

{| class="wikitable"
! Answer !! Follow-up !! Safe reply
|-
| To become stronger || What is the value of a Knight's strength to you? || To protect myself, or to protect others. '''Never''' wealth and fame.
|-
| To help my guild || How can you help your guild? || My guild needs me, or I can protect my companions. '''Never''' by raising funds.
|-
| Because I am not satisfied with myself || What are you unsatisfied with? || Goals. This is the only combination in this branch that leaves no doubt behind.
|}

'''If you became a Knight right now, what would you do first?'''

{| class="wikitable"
! Answer !! Follow-up !! Safe reply
|-
| I would go straight into combat || And then? || To test my skills, or to face greater challenges. Avoid wanting to grow quickly.
|-
| There are people waiting for me || Who is waiting for you? || Friends, guild or partner. All three are fine.
|-
| I would learn more about Knights || What do you plan to learn? || The ways of the Knight. '''Never''' ways to make money, which fails the interview by itself.
|}

Passing sends you back to the captain for the verdict.

== Step 8: The verdict ==

Return to '''Capitán Herman''' (''prt_in 88, 101'') and he polls every Knight who tested you. All of them approve, he adds his own approval, and the job change happens.

== Rewards ==

* Job change to '''Knight'''
* '''Charge Attack''' at level 1
* '''Riding''' at level 1, which lets a Knight mount a Peco Peco
* '''3 Awakening Potions''' when you finish the trials, or '''7 Awakening Potions''' when you take the Job Level 50 shortcut

Both skills are granted permanently and cost no skill points.

== After the change ==

'''Sir Gray''' forges a '''Claymore''' for Knights of the Chivalry. He asks for '''74,000 zeny''' and '''1 Steel''', and you need enough free weight for a heavy two-handed sword before he will start.

== Tips ==

* If you are already close to Job Level 50, the shortcut is faster than the trials and pays a larger reward. Compare the two before you apply.
* Collect the materials for Sir Andrew with the set list in front of you. The two sets share no items, so anything you gather in advance may be wasted.
* Everything you turn in to Sir Andrew is consumed, so do not bring extras you want to keep.
* For the combat trial, most of the first stage is Earth element and most of the second is Fire element, so a fire endowment for stage one and a water endowment for stage two help a lot. Stage three is a mix and a plain weapon does fine.
* The stage timer is short. Fight from the middle of the arena and pull the far spawns in rather than chasing them one by one.
* Before the patience test, unequip or disable anything that hits back on its own, and simply sit still.
* The tests can be retaken as often as needed. Nothing except your time is lost when a trial fails.
