Overview
Become a shadow of the night with swift throws and elemental magic. This guide walks you through changing from Novice to Ninja, including all requirements and a clear step-by-step path so you won’t get lost.
Requirements
- Base Level: Any (recommended 10+)
- Job Level: 10 (Novice)
- Skills: All Basic Skills learned
- Items (during quest):
- Zeny: None required for the job change itself
Where to Start
- Talk to Akagi in Alberta at (30, 65).
- If you are Job Level 10 as a Novice and choose to follow the “path of patience,” Akagi will send you to Amatsu.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Meet the Novice requirements
- Reach Novice Job Level 10 and spend all remaining skill points on Basic Skills.
-
Speak to Akagi (Alberta 30, 65)
- Choose to follow the “path of patience.”
- You’ll be sent to Amatsu.
-
Find Kuuga Gai in Amatsu
- Location: Que_ng area (hidden training grounds). Look for Kuuga Gai around Amatsu’s Ninja training area; he will initiate the quest.
- If asked whether to help, accept. You’ll be tasked with delivering a letter to “Wildcat Joe” (also called “Red Leopard Joe”) in Einbroch.
-
Go to Einbroch and look for a Suspicious Man
- Map: Einbroch, around (184, 194).
- Talk to the “Suspicious Man.” If you agree to help him first, he will ask for:
- Bring the items to him; he will reveal he is Red Leopard Joe and write a response to Kuuga Gai.
- He will then send you back to Amatsu.
-
Return to Kuuga Gai in Amatsu
-
Finalize the Job Change
Special Cases
- Already a Ninja (or higher path): NPCs will recognize your status and you won’t repeat the change.
- If you still have Novice skill points unspent: Kuuga Gai will ask you to allocate them before the job change.
- If you log out between steps: Red Leopard Joe in Einbroch can send you back to Amatsu directly once you have his response letter to deliver.
Tips and Recommendations
- Items Prep: Acquire 5x Cyfar and 1x Phracon in advance to avoid backtracking.
- Travel: Save your spawn point or have Butterfly Wing ready to speed up returns.
- Skills: Spend all Novice skill points before returning to Kuuga Gai for the final step.
- Next Steps: After becoming a Ninja, check out elemental ninjutsu skill builds and consider gearing for cast time and SP management.
