Hello ppl..

I've searced around the forums for detailed discription of every job.
But i've only managed to find a good guide on traders.
I'm still kinda blur on the thief and hunter.

So any kinda soul out there write up a guide or just tell me detailed descriptions of hunter and thief job.. Thx

I just basically know that thief's job is to rob traders and kill hunters.
But what goes on after/before that? Just kill and rob? thats it?

And hunter.. i know that they're there to protect traders on trade runs and kill theifs..But is it just that? protect and kill thiefs?

I wanna know more abt the job description so as to choose a job myself..
So yeah.. Some help pls.. Thx =)

Hmmms... I will tell you all that I know...
Hunter gets hired by trader to protect them... so the trader can just stay infront to lead the camel or stay on top of the camel without needing to kill the NPC thief that spawns and attack the camel or you... Hunters get hunter xp by killing thieves (be it NPC or Player). But you can just offer help to fight off the NPC thief for free Mostly trader will hire a hunter when they are doing 2 star trade or above or just is a beginner trader. It is quite hard for you to be a level 20 hunter as player thief may kill you easily.

Thief in the other hand 2 stars and above trader. When the trader dies or when the camel dies, the goods will be dropped on the floor. The thief have to summon a camel and pick up all the goods, then go to the bandit den to sell the goods to earn thief xp and money. Thief xp can also be gained by killing hunters.

I hope this information is enough for you to know about these 2 jobs.
My english is bad.. Pardon me

Hmmm.. That helps me more or less to understanding a lil bit more abt thief/hunter..

So according to you, Traders "hire" Hunters to protect or guide or help them along the way. So my question is.. the Hunters are paid to help escort the traders? If that is so.. Damn thats cool.. And if it is.. How much exactly are they paid? xD Does it go according to star basis? or something else?

It all depends on the trader... How generous is he etc etc... During low level you can just follow a thief and help him... I usually get 10k-15k or around for 1 star trade.. But the trader is my friend so it all depends on the other side...

Ahhh.. Cool.. But will traders find random ppl to help them along?
As in.. will they shout out loud that they need a hunter to help them along?
Or does the hunter have to find their own trader to escort?
Or must you both be frens.. =x

it depends, some people will shout near the trade store if they want help. you'll also sometimes see hunters asking if a trader needs help.

or of course, it works well between friends too.

I'm just wondering, how do traders make money or get xp?

For eg. As a trader, you buy goods from jangan trade store and successfully bring it to donhwang safely... You should go to donhwang trade store and sell your goods. If you spent 20k on jangan goods. You will earn about 30-50k if you sell it to the trade shop in donhwang... You earn trader xp when you start selling the goods... You should try being a trader... Then you can uncerstand more of it.. Try all the jobs, and see which suits yiu

Yes hunters have to be paid a fair share. I did a 4 star trade run (im lvl 21) and made around 150 k profit. Tomorrow its gonna be 5 star. Get a good lvl hunter to help you out. Mine Pwns.

Such good way to make $$$ Plus i got like 55% trader exp from that 1 run.
