So you’re level 30, and are ready to move on? Say no more, for you’re
an Assassin from here..

A. Becoming an Assassin

Obviously, you don’t become an Assassin right away. You have to pass
a test. However, before you take this test, I recommend you stock up
with a few HP and MP pots, as much as a regular repot to you, or
more, because this test may take a while.

Now that you’ve stocked up on potions and allocated your SP and AP,
go talk to Dark Lord again and he’ll blab about how much stronger
you’ve become and give you the chance to become stronger. Say yes,
and he’ll give you a note to give to his apprentice in the
Construction Site North of Kerning City. This is how to get there if
you don’t know:

Kerning City -> EAST EXIT -> Sunset Sky -> EAST EXIT -> The
Construction Site North of Kerning City

The 2nd job guide is on top of a transformer on an electric pole.
Talk to him, and give him the letter, and you’ll take the test.
He’ll give you details on the test, which I’ll give you now.

In the test, you must find 30 DARK MARBLES killing Cold Eyes and
Blue Mushrooms. These are modified so that you can kill them in 3-4
hits. The monsters give no experience, but you lose experience if
you die, and they do the same damage as a regular monster of their
kind. And the marbles only drop in a 1 to 3 ratio. That means that
only 1 out of 3 monsters will drop a marble. Once you have collected
30 marbles, talk to the 2nd Job Instructor to get a PROOF OF HERO,
and give it back to Dark Lord at the Fusion Bar. He will then give
you a choice of Bandit or Assassin, and, you obviously choose
Assassin. He will give you a bit of HP and MP, and 1 SP for your
second job skill. Congratulations, you’re an Assassin!
