Guide For Assassins
June 29th, 2005 by Eva
I’am going to be write a Assassin FAQ since I’ve been browsing round the thief board and I’ve found it to lack a decent guide, more hints and tips, so this is all work in progress, it might require some legal speil too, and full credit to the authors of whom my work is based. In the end this will probably grow into a full guide for all assassins and wanna be assassins, but for the mo it’s just assassin since thats the class im currently aiming for.
Some feed back as to the lay out would always be appreciated, and if anyone finds anything that is grossly wrong or bad advice then please correct me, I may be new to Assassins but I think I know what is required to make a good one.
I now need any high level Assassin to PM me with any useful Hints and Tips as to how to train and general advice, anybody that does will gain full credit for it and their account name will Run alongside the tip they have provided.Index

Introduction - So why a Assassin? [@#1]
To me,assassins are the coolest character on MS.The way their combat and skills is appealing to me and attact me to play this character.As u all know,assassins use stars as its weopens and there is many different stars which has different attack damage.Earlier in the game,they kill much better than bandits.With critical throw,assassins lucky seven damage increase which assassins can dealt quite high damages.With Haste and Drain as their skill,they can last longer which makes them can kill fast and more monsters in a time.
What does this FAQ help me with? [@#2]
This FAQ is intended to be the only source of information you will need to use when researching anything for your Assassin, there will be a step by step walk through which should steer you through the pitfalls that a Assassin faces early on in life, and some comprehensive hints and tips on how and where to level. This FAQ is riddled with information and every peice is relevant. Enjoy!
The Walk-through - The Thief FAQ[@#3]
The part of the FAQ is dedicated on how to spend your AP and SP effectively and the best methods for making those levels as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is a comprehensive strategy and build walk-through which should answer any questions you have.
Rolling for your stats: [@#4]
You will be wanting to aim for as near perfect stats as you can get, hence your going to need to roll a 4/4 for both Str and Int, however if you lack the patience you could always settle for a 4/5 or possibly even a 5/5 or 4/6 if your not a perfectionist. How the points are distributed into your Dex and Luk does matter, since your damage depends on how u distribute ur AP.
After reaching level 10, BE SURE
TO HAVE 25 DEX! After doing both quests on Maple Island, take the boat to Lith
Harbour. From here, take a cab to Kerning City. Go into the Fusion Jazz Club
and go down the stairs. Talk to the Night Road, congratulations! You are now
a Rogue.
Thief AP Guide [@#5]
While the main emphasis of the Assassin is Luk and Dex, it helps an awful lot if you can hit monsters consistently (if not 100% of the time), hence this leveling strategy follows what has become the traditional cookie cutter build.
*This is base stats,it don’t count the extra stats your equipment adds….
As you can see, DEX should be twice your level, and LUK should have everything
else. Put up your LUK by 5 each time for 3 levels, then put up DEX by 5 twice
so that you will have enough DEX to upgrade your armour and weapons. For
example:
Thief SP Guide [@#6]
Spending your SP correctly will make your life as a Thief much more enjoyable, and hopefully a fair bit easier too, so heres my advice as to how to spend it.
The reason for saving your SP to invest them later on is because an active skill doubles in cost at level 11 or level 16 (depending on the Max level of the skill), hence if you save the points up in invest them in one go you wont be stuck with an ineffective Lucky Seven.
If you are following this guide like its stated then your Thief skills should be:
Nimble Body:20(Max)
Lucky Seven:20(Max)
Keen Eyes:8(Max)
Darksight:10 OR 3
Disorder:10 OR 3
Double Stab:0
Total SP Spent: 61
Where to train as a Thief? [@#7]
Training Spots:
Thief hints and tips [@#8]
When you are lvl 1-10,I do say Maple Island is the best place to train or u can party with people at Victoria Island if u think train alone is slow.After u have change job,u can either train at Ellenia OR outside Kerning City until you reach lvl 15.When you reach lvl 15,i think the best place to train is Slime Tree.
Then,you can start hitting green mushrooms when u lvl 18 but i suggest u stick to slimes until you lvl 21.Then u can either PQ or kill green musrooms and hornies mushrooms.After you lvl 25,more hornies mushrooms is for you or stick to PQ until lvl 30

For you conveniance I have quoted Unknown_PC’s Skill list for the Thief Skills.

Finally your a Assassin!! [@#10]
After reaching level 30, you will be very experienced in Maple Story. Go back
to the Fusion Jazz Club where you became a Rogue so very long ago and talk to
the Night Road. He’ll tell you to talk to the Thief Instructor found at The
Construction Site North of Kerning. Talking to him leads you to a cavern
filled with Blue Mushrooms and Cold Eyes. They are all modified so you can
kill them, so you don’t have to worry. They can only drop Dark Marbles or
nothing. After collecting 30 of them (change channels if one is too hard to
use), talk to the instructor. He’ll give you a Proof of Hero to take back to
the Night Road. This took me about 15 Mana Potions and 5 White Potions so
be prepared with those items! Congratulations! You are an Assassin now!
Assassins AP Build [@#11]
As you can see,the distribution for dex and luk is still the same ONLY until lvl 40!!!!After lvl 40,you should distribute ur AP like this: put 5 AP every 5 Level into Dex,the rest go into Luk.Example:-
Lvl41:+5 Luk Lvl43:+5 Luk Lvl45:+5 Dex
Lvl42:+5 Luk Lvl44:+5 Luk
*This is base stats,it don’t count the extra stats your equipment adds….
Assassin SP Guide [@#12]
This Is My Suggestion Build
In the End
Javelin Mastery 20(Max)
Critical Throw 30(Max)
Drain 28 OR 30(Max)
Haste 18 OR 20(Max)
Javelin Booster 20(Max)
Endure 3

Item Making Guide [@#17]

Hermit Information and skills [@#18]
Hermits get plenty of useful abilities as well. For one, Meso Up is an ability that increases the amount of mesos you gain. Alchemist is an ability that increases the efficiency of potions, so it is easier to heal yourself. Flash Jump is a cool ability that lets you jump once in mid-air. Hermit’s best ability, however, is Shadow Partner. This spawns a shadow that attaches to you and mimics everything you do. If you Lucky 7, it also does so. When using skills, it only does 50% damage, but it can still use Critical Throw, and 100% more damage per Lucky 7 is nothing to scoff at. Shadow Partner also makes every normal attack into a Lucky 7, and then it does 80% damage. This is an incredibly useful ability
Alchemist: Passive (Level 20). The effectiveness of various healing items and the duration of ability changing items you use will increase. But Elixir items’ effects will not increase.
Meso Up: Passive (Level 20). The amount of Mesos dropped by monsters killed by party members in range is increased.
Shadow Partner: Active (Level 30). Summon a shadow partner that mimics your actions for a set time, or until its HP reach 0.
Shadow Web: Active (Level 30). Turn your own shadow into a spider web to capture an enemy, preventing it from being able to move, cast magic, and use skills.
Avenger: Active (Level 30). Expend many MP and Shuriken in order to create a huge shuriken to throw at an enemy. The shuriken will rip through the enemy and keep going, able to hit up to 6 enemies.
Flash Jump: Active (Level 20). Execute a second jump while already in the air. The higher your Skill Level, the further the second jump will take you.
