Faceless Phantom 18 Chapter 15.5 - Meanwhile On Bbs 2

[Research Number 5 – Jobs, Hobbies, Exclusive Skills & Items]

#1 researcher_man

Hey guys, its me again!

I know you already read the t.i.tle!

Yes, I interviewed a bunch of people and some of them are really interesting bunch. It was fun.

And of course, thank you very much for all the players who share their information for my research. I really appreciate it.

Alright! Without further ado, here's the result!

▼Job

You can get Job by certain NPC or Quest. Of course you can choose to be jobless. However, your stats will hardly raise. Because by having a job, your certain stats will be harshly raised. Also, you get free job skills!

Basic Cla.s.s → Possible Advanced Jobs

Warrior → Slayer/Berserker/Samurai/Strider/Lancer

Knight → Paladin/Avenger/Defender/Guardian

Archer → Balister/Ranger/Trickster/Marksman

Rogue → a.s.sa.s.sin/Thief/Scavenger/Raider

Healer → Witch Doctor/Light Bearer/Hierophant/Priest

Mystic → Invoker/Wizard/Witch/Mage/Sorcerer

Bard → Maestro/Spell Singer/Minstrel

Enchanter → Shaman/Seer/Voodoo/Warcryer

Fighter → Master/Brawler/Champion

Artisan → Smith/Alchemist/Sculptor/Taylor

Summoner → Beast Master/Monster Tamer/Spirit Whisper

Note: Some jobs are exclusive to certain races. So, your character race also decide what kind of job you can get.

These below are official announced rare jobs by the devs. Some players actually have some of these jobs. If you believe you are a main character, then go for it!

▼Rare Job

Summoner → Dragon Tamer

Mystic/Summoner/Enchanter → Dark Magician/Necromancer/Warlock

Warrior → Warlord/t.i.tan

Archer → Sniper/Sharpshooter

Rogue → Ninja/Shadow Lurker

Mystic/Warrior → Sword Mage

My Theory:

It seems the key to get unique job is skills and stats. For example, imagine a knight with high STR instead of VIT. Moreover, it also has destructive skills. It could be like Chaos Knight, right? These jobs below are just my hypothesis. It's just a theory.

- Chaos Knight (High STR Knight)

- Blood Knight (Lifesteal Knight)

- Sigil Knight (Magic Knight)

- Idol (Bard Dancer)

- Etc.

It also could be because of our character's hobby which have various combination of skills. It was depending on the skills after all. For Example:

- Bard with Dancer hobby might become Idol

- Alchemist with Cook hobby might become Exterminator

- Paladin with Phoenix summon might become Phoenix Knight

- Etc.

Also there is an important note to keep in mind:

Job outside Summoner can only have one summon so far. The summon skill also can be obtained by certain quest or NPC. However, it's almost impossible to learn it. If you want an easy way, then go for having a pet instead. Even though it will rob your money, but it's worth it if you have what you wanted, right?

▼Hobby

Now we're moving to hobby. Just like job, we can get hobby through certain NPC or Quest.

These below are official announced hobbies from the developers.

Hobby → Possible Advanced Hobbies

Cook → Chef

Trader → Merchant

Gatherer →Harvester/Botanist/Farmer

Tracker → Seeker/Navigator

Fisher → Fish Master

Dancer → Dancing King/Dancing Queen/Street Dancer

Writer → Journalist/Historian

The devs said that there's countless possible jobs and, of course, it's also the same for hobbies. I think I will make another thread for them later. For this thread, it's just an introduction and basic content. Also, this could be a guide for new players.

Okay, now let's see what kind of skills that the announced hobbies have.

Hobby – Acquired Skills = Example

Cook – Cooking Skills = Making Food

Trader – Trading Skills = Expand bag/Discount

Gatherer – Forage Skills = Forage/Harvest

Tracker – Radar/Detection Skills = Point location

Fisher – Fis.h.i.+ng Skills = Fis.h.i.+ng

Dancer – Movement skills = Evasive moves

Writer – Literature Skills = Learning language/Making Map or Scroll

Note: There could be rare hobbies out there. The devs haven't said anything about it yet. But if there are rare jobs, there should be rare hobbies right?

▼Exclusive Skills & Items

It's an exclusive skill & Item for certain jobs which need certain requirements to acquire them. It's not impossible to get them, though the skill may be really hard to raise. But if you want some, then go for these jobs below.

Job/Hobby – Exclusive Skills & Items

Miner/Smith/Mystic – Appraisal (Identify Unidentified Equipment, Mining Materials, Minerals, or Gems)

Summoner – Bestiary (Book with Collection of Monsters)

Gatherer/Alchemist – Herbarium (Book with Collection of Plants)

Note: For Bestiary, only tamed monsters data are written in the book. You know what I mean, right? One famous game does this kind of thing! ;)

It's the same for Herbarium, collected plants will be automatically written its data in the book.

Also, once again... Please keep it mind that these skills and items need certain requirements. It might be hard to get them, but it's still worth it!

***

Alright that's all folk!

That's a lot to take, ain't it?

Well, the more you know!

If you have any info or question, please leave a comment!

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#3 Random_guy

Summoner be like: I wanna be the very best dun dun dun dun~

#4 Orc_Chieftain69

>3 kek. that's what I thought. Now I'm sad that I'm a Warrior. I wanna be pokemon master.

#5 FrostApparition

Jobs: I already have a thought in the variety of job/cla.s.s but I never expected to be this big. It makes me wanna try every job/cla.s.s.

Hobbies: This. This is a well managed system. Every Hobby needs each other and that is really important. Good job for Devs.

Thought: This game is pretty balanced to me. If not, then there must be someone who rants in the comment somewhere. But I think there shouldn't be one. Kojima is a gaming G.o.d after all.

It's a good thread once again, researcher_man.

Thanks for your hardwork!

#35 CenturialSorcerer

If I'm a Necromancer, does that mean I technically become Undead? I mean, maybe later I can become a Lich.

#36 Coolman_Andre

>35 That means if I'm an Elf and I learn dark magic, then I will become dark elf?

#37 Elagor

>35 Now this is an interesting question...

#38 Bonbon777

>35 You can't change race in this game though?

#39 Smug_AI

>38 What if it's actually possible? Just like basic skills, maybe our character race is just basic race that can be evolved.

#40 EnigmaticFanboy

Well if we talk about J.R.R. Tolkien's world, Elf has many tribes. Though, in most stories, Dark Elf is indeed from Elven race. To put it simply, the Elf had two different ideologies and later they were separated into two groups. One group kept doing what their ancestors did but not for the other group. They sought power instead. And then that led them to learn about dark arts. Their research came to a fruition and later their looks becomes different. Eventually, they are being called Dark Elf.

#41 Mememe

>40 *insert did not read.gif here*

#42 Moe_moe_chan

Wow wow wait a minute guys, this is becoming deep all of sudden...

#43 king_artha.s.sssss

#44 Kimberjae

Isn't dwarf a dark elf?

#45 Yukimitsu

>44 I'm not sure about that. Well, maybe it's different kind of dark elf.

#46 forester_jack

>44 Dwarf is Dwarf.

#47 Orc_Chieftain69

Is there any way to become an Orc?

#48 EnigmaticFanboy

>47 Maybe you can make an elf to become an orc. But you're a gigant, aren't you?

#49 xonderton

>48 orc is not an elf dumba.s.s!

#50 EnigmaticFanboy

>49 You didn't watch lord of the rings, did ya?

#51 resilientor

>50 Really? Which part of the movie states that Orc is coming from an Elf?

#52 Coolman_Andre

>51 FYI when Saruman made Uruk-hai he said that Orc was once an elf that was tortured. Is it really possible to do that in this game though?

#53 Orc_Chieftain69

>52 An M Elf... Hmm...

#54 FrostApparition

This is really interesting discussion. Perhaps it's all depend on our skills and stats. Because everything is controlled by those two things. If it's matched, maybe we can really change our race somehow.

#55 EnigmaticFanboy

>54 Aradun-sama has spoken!

#56 Coolman_Andre

>54 That makes sense. I think I'm gonna talk about this thing with my friends tomorrow.

#57 Orc_Chieftain69

>54 It is actually possible to be that way. Now I'm interested to become an Orc!

#58 Smug_AI

FrostApparition is Frost Magician Aradun?

#59 researcher_man

h.e.l.lo everyone!

I'm really happy my research can make this kind of discussion. This is really interesting theory!

I thank you #35 CenturialSorcerer for bringing this up.

Well, if it's proven to be true that you can change your race, then I'll make a thread about it. So please let me know if someone has information about this matter.

Check my profile for my email! I'll really appreciate it if we can cooperate to discover this mystery! :)
