Swordman

Swordman Class Overview

Swordmen are strong-willed fighters seeking to lead with their sword and shield. Though stubborn like the waves of the sea, swordmen are able to use their high attack skills to change the tide of the battlefield. Growing up in Prontera and its nearby town Izlude, they have learned that the best defense is the best offense.

Swordmen tend to have high ATK from swords and spears and their skills boost the damage of these weapons. They can wear heavy armor and shield to boost their DEF and their high HP pool from skills and HP bonus significantly help with tanking mobs.

Job Change

1. Once you reach Job Level 10 Novice, go to Izlude and enter the Swordman Guild at the west side of the town.
2. Talk to the Swordman NPC in the center room behind the desk who will change your job to Swordman.

• Alternatively, after reaching Job Level 10 Novice, go to a Swordsman class at Criatura Academy located at the north disctrict of Izlude town.

Crusader Class Overview

Crusaders are a fine blend of physical strength and faith-driven magic prowess, making them a versatile class. They are capable of melee combat with a spear or a sword and shield, of playing a supportive role in parties with beneficial magic skills, and of sacrificing their health to wield powerful holy magic. Knowing this, they can be built more like a mage than a warrior, or a classic favorite is to play the crusader like a tank. What makes this class so popular is the versatility, it's natural aim towards fighting the undead, and its centralization around having high VIT and defense.

Job Changing

Changing into a Crusader from a Swordman requires the player to complete a number of tasks:

• Endurance Test
