Hunter

Becoming a Hunter
Requirements: be an Archer, have at least job level 40, and have spent all your skill points. The Hunter Guild is in Payon Field 10 (`pay_fild10`). From Payon, go 2 maps east and 1 map south: talk to the Guild Member (pay_fild10,148,251) to be teleported inside. Note: Sherin also offers to turn you into a Hunter on the spot for 100,000z, no test. But you lose the quest rewards: the 100,000z bonus, the bow, and the Platinum Skills. Only use this shortcut if you really don't want to do the quest.| Step | Image | What to do |

Answer key: Sherin's 10 questions
Each question is worth 10 points and you need 90 points or more to pass, meaning you can get at most 1 wrong. The correct answers are the polite and responsible ones; the rude, selfish, or lazy options are worth 0 points. Several questions have two valid answers. The table shows all the options exactly as they appear in the game:| # | Question | Options (✅ = 10 points, ❌ = 0 points) |

Final test: Shisui's arena
Shisui teleports you to the arena (`job_hunte`). You enter through the waiting room: only one player at a time takes the test; if someone's already inside, wait in the room and you'll enter automatically. Objective:- Kill 4 monsters named exactly "Target Monster" (there are 6 scattered around the room, only 4 are needed).
- A switch appears in the center of the room (job_hunte,93,101). Activate it.
- The exit opens at the top of the map (job_hunte,89,139): you have 30 seconds to reach it.
- Kill any monster that is NOT named "Target Monster". The room is full of decoys with almost identical names: "Torget Monster", "Moster Target", "Target", "Albino Monster", "Simple Monster", "Test Monster", "Kill Me!", "Don't attack me", "Please don't kill me", "Heeeelp!!!", and others. Read the name carefully before you shoot.
- Step on a trap: there are dozens scattered across the map, mostly in the narrow corridors along the path to the exit.
- Die or run past the 3 minutes.
