Becoming a Thief
- Level 10: a Beginner becomes a Thief by talking to Dark Lord at the Thieves' Hideout in Kerning City.
- Level 30: Dark Lord starts The Thief's Next Journey and sends you with his letter to the Thief Job Instructor at Construction Site North of Kerning City. He sends you into a hidden area to collect Dark Marbles from its monsters, then hands you The Proof of a Hero. Take it back to Dark Lord to become an Assassin or a Bandit.
There is no 3rd job advancement in Classic World yet.
