Overview

Ninjas have three types of attacks: magical attacks, throwing attacks, and "stealth" attacks. The main weapons are Daggers and Huuma Shurikens, large shurikens that can be thrown using the skill Throw Huuma Shuriken. Ninjas can also endow themselves with several different abilities: Cicada Skin Shed and Mirror Image prevents almost all non-magical damage from harming them. Flip Tatami gives the same protection from ranged attacks as Pneuma for three seconds so long as he or she does not change position and also knocks surrounding monsters away. Ninja Aura is a self buff that adds +5 STR and +5 INT, as well as allowed Mirror Image and Killing Strike to be used.

Jobchange Guide

Ninja Requirements Base Level: None Job Level: 10 Class: Novice Zeny: 20 Rewards Item(s): Asura Quest Reward(s): Jobchange to Ninja 1. Once the player is Job Level 10 and has Basic Skills maxed, make your way to Amatsu by speaking to the NPC named Akagi located at alberta3063 in Alberta. 2. Akagi will warp Job Level 10 Novices to Amatsu for free. Note that the location in Amatsu he warps to appears to be random. 3. Find the house located at amatsu147136 and enter. The house will appear to look empty. However, you will see a path if you move to the back of the room. Follow this to the Ninja Guild. 4. Talk to Kuuga Gai inside. He will blab on and requires you to find Wildcat Joe in Einbroch, but decides it is just better to make you a Ninja. 5. After talking to Kuuga Gai, the player will become a Ninja. You will receive an Asura. Ammunition & Catalysts Ninjas have two types of ammunition: Shuriken and Kunai. In addition, certain Ninja skills require catalysts that can only be purchased in Amatsu. Shuriken Used for the skill Throw Shuriken. The bonus damage added by the skills Throwing Mastery and Throw Shuriken act like mastery bonuses and therefore bypass normal defense. It will also hit, even if the Ninja would normally miss it's target. See Shuriken for a list of available Shurikens. Kunai Used for the skill Throw Kunai. The damage done by Kunai also bypasses most the enemies defense and will hit, even if the Ninja would normally miss. Also, Kunai have to be manufactured, unlike Shuriken which can be purchased from the NPC directly. Only Ninjas can make Kunai through an NPC at the Ninja Guild in Amatsu. See Kunai for a list of available Kunai. Catalysts Catalyst Stones are needed to cast various magic-type Ninja skills and to manufacture Kunai. Catalyst Stones: Name Cost Required for Flame Stone 150z Blaze Shield and Exploding Dragon Ice Stone 150z Watery Evasion and Snow Flake Draft Wind Stone 150z Lightning Jolt and First Wind Shadow Orb 200z Mirror Image Skills Ninjas have three primary branches of skills: Throwing, Deception, and Magic. Ninjas can master one branch or mix elements from two branches. They also have the sub-branch with supportive skills and an "Ultimate" skill. Throwing skills rely on the user's STR for damage, while Magic skills use INT, meaning that these two branches are rarely mixed. Deception is a mix of evasion skills and attack skills, and usually, all Ninja builds will include Cicada Skin Shed due to its usefulness in avoiding attacks.
