Athena Pierce is the Bowman job instructor in Henesys, responsible for advancing qualifying Beginners into the Bowman job branch. She is one of the four original 1st-job instructors of Victoria Island, alongside Dances with Balrog (Warrior), Grendel the Really Old (Magician), and Dark Lord (Thief).
Role in job advancement
Athena performs the Bowman 1st job advancement for Beginners who meet the requirements:
- Level 10 or higher
- DEX 25 or higher
A qualifying Beginner who speaks with Athena is sent to a small trial area to defeat a set number of monsters and return with proof of their effort. Once the proof is delivered, the character is permitted to advance into the Bowman branch and to choose between the Hunter (bow-leaning) and Crossbowman (crossbow-leaning) sub-paths at 2nd job.
For second job advancement, Athena directs qualifying Bowmen to the Bowman Job Instructor on The Road to the Dungeon for the advancement test.
