Rogue

The Rogue is the Assassin's alternate class and has endless tricks up its sleeve. That's thanks to its ability to copy skills. It can also make any class useless with its gear-stripping skill (divest), which removes an equipped item from the enemy. And if that's not enough, the Rogue can also wield daggers, swords and... Bows! General class reference guide. ReClassic applies its own rebalance to several skills, so some builds and skills may differ from classic Ragnarok.

ReClassic Exclusive: Rogue Soul Link

In ReClassic, the Rogue Soul Link (the buff granted by the Herald of the Soul) boosts the class on three fronts at once. While the Soul Link is active, the Rogue gets +20% damage with Back Stab and Raid, +20% damage with the Transcendent Skills from Transcendent Plagiarism, and -20% after-cast delay on all their skills. The Transcendent Skills bonus stacks with the +25% that a Mind Usurper's Crown [1] refined to +7 already grants, reaching +45% damage on plagiarized skills of that category. The after-cast delay reduction, on the other hand, applies to any skill, including copied ones, so the pacing gain shows up in any build. It's worth coordinating with a Herald of the Soul in a party, MVP run or WoE. This boost is part of the server's own class rebalance.

Becoming a Rogue

Requirements: be a Thief, have at least job level 40 and have spent all your skill points. The Rogue Guild is on Pharos Island (`in_rogue`), the entrance is through the Thug in the Morroc Ruins (moc_ruins,86,103). Attention: Markie also offers to become a Rogue on the spot for 100,000z, no test needed. But you lose the rewards: the 100,000z bonus, the Gladius and the Platinum Skills. Tip: whoever becomes a Rogue at job level 50 gets the Gladius WITH A SLOT; below that, the Gladius comes without a slot.

Step	Image	What to do
1		Go to the lowest floor and talk to Markie to sign up for the job change quest. When you sign up, she'll also ask you 10 questions, and you need 9 correct answers to pass the test.
2		Go up through a portal and you'll see Mr. Smith. Pay a 10,000 zeny fee and he'll ask you to gather a set of items. Come back to him after collecting the requested items and he'll direct you to find an NPC.
3		In this test, all you need to do is cross an underground passage to reach the Rogue Guild. The passage is full of monsters, but you don't need to kill any of them. Just run as fast as you can to reach the exit. Here's a detailed map of the test room. TIP: Use Back Slide.

Step 2: Mr. Smith's item sets

Besides the 10,000z fee, he rolls one of these sets:

Set	Items
1	Blue Herb ×6 Skeleton Bone ×10 Decayed Nail ×10 Horrendous Mouth ×10
2	Green Herb ×10 Garlet ×10 Snake Scale ×10 Crab Shell ×10
3	Yellow Herb ×10 Bear's Footskin ×10 Shell ×10 Grasshopper's Leg ×10

When you turn it in, he gives you the

Worn-out Page (your letter of recommendation) and sends you to look for the "Junior" NPCs.

Step 2: the NPCs' passwords

Each NPC has its own password. Talk to the right NPC and give the indicated password.

NPC	Sprite	Password
Aragham Jr.		Aragham never hoarded upgrade items.
Hollgrehenn Jr.		My father never hoarded upgrade items.
Antonio Jr.		Antonio doesn't like destroying upgrade items.

Leveling Spots

Location	Difficulty	Notes
Geographers	Easy	Equip a bow and hunt some Geographers! Use Fire Arrow.
Lutie / Argiopes	Easy	If you want to take it easy and just farm, you can start in Lutie or go hunt Argiopes.
Pyramid / Sphinx	Easy	For farming Rogues, you can stay here and become a millionaire. Matyr cards are always in high demand. Also, the upper floors of these maps offer rarer drops.
Gonryun	Easy	Another good farming spot is Gonryun. Go up to the higher floors to get rarer drops.
Beach Dungeon / Kokomo Beach	Medium to Hard	With enough Flee, you can farm here comfortably. Stalactic Golems can cause stun, so have enough VIT, stun resistance or Flee gear to survive. Hunt the Kokomo beach monsters and become a millionaire when you land a card.
Clock Tower	Medium to Hard	Copy an area or explosive skill and hunt Alarms. Alarms can cause Blind, bring Green Potions.
Magma Dungeon	Medium to Hard	Magma Dungeon, the holy grail for zeny farmers. Copy an area skill and hunt here. Fast zeny and fast EXP. Use fire armor (Pasana Card).
Glast Heim	Medium to Hard	Once you're getting close to high levels, you can go to GH. This map offers a lot of leveling spots for different classes. As a Rogue, you can farm the Cavalry and the Cemetery for pricey loot, or get tons of EXP off Anolians.
Turtle Dungeon	Medium to Hard	Another well-known spot for high levels is the Turtle Dungeon. Monster density here is high, so you don't need to worry about running out of monsters to kill. Head to the next floors for more EXP and monsters.
Sphinx	Medium to Hard	Anubis is your main target here. The EXP you get from a single Anubis is 28,000 base EXP and 22,000 job EXP. That EXP is incredibly high, so don't miss it. Make sure to use Bathory/Evil Druid armor to nullify the dark-element Spiritual Strike. You can also enter the portal in the center if you want to pull Pasanas.
