Overview

Ninjas are an expanded class that cannot be rebirthed or adopted. Because of this, Ninjas are granted 69 skill points to distribute.

The ninja class is fun and offers three types of roles to play: a magic ninja, a throwing ninja, and a melee ninja. Ninjas excel in the art of evasion with skills like Cicada Skin Shed and Mirror Image which prevent almost all non-magical damage from harming them. Their magic tree offers several fun spells that are unlike that of any other class (although nowhere near as powerful as the Wizard class spells).

This class is not recommended for new players, as it is expensive to play. The magic and throwing ninjas require materials to cast all of their spells, thus attention should be paid to choosing profitable targets.

Starter Equipment

The Episode One quest line gives you good starting equipment for your class and build. Though it is better than the Kingdom Guild equipment, that set is also an option to start out.

Ammunition & Catalysts

Ninjas have two types of ammunition: Shuriken and Kunai. In addition, certain Ninja skills require catalysts that can be purchased from a special NPC in most town Tool Dealers.

Shuriken

Used for the skill Throw Shuriken. The bonus damage added by the skills Throwing Mastery and Throw Shuriken are mastery ATK.

See Shuriken for a list of available Shurikens.

Kunai

Used for the skill Throw Kunai. Like Shuriken, can be purchased from the NPC directly.

See Kunai for a list of available Kunai.

Catalysts

Catalyst Stones are needed to cast various magic-type Ninja skills.

Catalyst Stones:

Name	Required for
Flame Stone	Blaze Shield and Exploding Dragon
Ice Stone	Watery Evasion and Snow Flake Draft
Wind Stone	Lightning Jolt and First Wind
Shadow Orb	Mirror Image

Class Data

Skills

Ninjas have three primary branches of skills: Throwing, Deception and Magic. The player can opt to 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.
