VulpesMundi: More clerical error fixes and the addition of NPC names.

{{Infobox Job|jobName=Dancer|jobBase=Archer|jobType=2-2|changesAt=Comodo|skills=18|skillPoints=91|questSkills=1
|str=2|agi=7|vit=3|int=5|dex=5|luk=8}}

Rhythm and balance are qualities cultivated by all [[Archer]]s, however, only the truly talented are allowed to learn the secret steps of the Dancers. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

It is said that time [[Slow_Grace|slows down]] when a Dancer starts to move her hips to the sound of some mysterious tune; that those watching may [[Charming_Wink|lose control]] of their bodies and find their magic reserves either [[Gypsy's_Kiss|greatly improved]] or [[Hip_Shaker|gone altogether]]. Where their male counterparts, the [[Bard]]s, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize at disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of [[Priest]] buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an [[Archer]] should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over [[Hunter|Huntresses]] is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use [[Double Strafe]] instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.

== General Information ==

To understand how to build a [[Bard]] or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and [[Bard]] skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a [[Bard]]; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another [[Bard]] or Dancer respectively.

As a Dancer only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.

* When armed with a [[Whips|Whip]]:
** Bow skills ([[Double Strafe]], [[Arrow Shower]], [[Arrow Repel]]) cannot be used
** [[Performance Skills]], as well as [[Amp]] and [[Encore]] are available
** Whip skills ([[Slinging Arrow]], [[Arrow Vulcan]]) can be used
** Whip damage depends on the Dancer's [[dex]], NOT [[str]]. Just like it does for [[bow|bows]]
[[Unbarring Octave]], [[Dazzler]], [[Pang Voice]] and [[Charming Wink]] are usable regardless of weapons.

== How to become a Dancer ==
=== Sign up ===

Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, she should head to [[Comodo]]. Near the Kafra employee, there will be a male NPC named Bor Robin who will grant entrance into the Dancer Quest area. Upon heading inside, talk to the NPC named Aile to the left side of the stage. She will ask the player to fulfill one of the following requirements along with the minimum requirement of Job 40 or more on a female [[Archer]].

# 1 Sandals (unslotted NPC), 10 Black Hair, 20 Jellopy, 5 Yellow Potion, 2 Clam Shell
# 1 Shoes (unslotted NPC), 20 Sticky Mucus, 3 Jellopy, 5 Red Potion
# 1 Boots (unslotted NPC), 5 Earthworm Peeling, 10,000 zeny

* Note that the NPC will not actually take these items, nor will they ever be used up.

Once finished signing up, it's time to head to the right side of the stage and talk to the NPC named Bijou to take the quiz.

=== Quiz ===

The quiz involves a simple Q and A session. Getting 80% correct is required to pass this part of the exam. For reference, the following are the questions that are asked for this section of the exam. (The wording however, may differ)

* Question Set A
# What effect does Dance Lessons have? [Raises effects of dance skills]
# What is the dance called where you wear shoes that make a sound and dance a light rhythm? [Tapdance]
# Select the characteristic that a dancer doesn't have. [Wields a 2-handed sword]
# Which town has the most dancers? [Comodo]
# Who dances the most beautifully? [Bijou]
# What do dancers excel at more than other jobs? [Dancing]
# Who is the manager of the Comodo casino? [Moo]
# Which item can a dancer not equip? [Two-handed sword]
# Is this test boring? [No]
# Which of the following is not a Jazz musician? [?]
* Question Set B
# What effect does the bard/dancer ensemble Classic Pluck have? [Nullifies all magic in 9x9 area]
# After dancing on the dance floor, how should you act to your dancing partner? [Say that you're still insufficient]
# If someone is dancing wrong, what should you do? [Point out the mistake]
# Where do you change to a dancer? [Comodo]
# How many caves are there in Comodo? [3]
# Which of the following is not a pet? [Argiope]

# Which of the following is not a specialty of Comodo? [Shining stones]
# Who is the manager of the Commodo casino? [Moo]
# Who is the person in charge of the dancing school applications? [Aier]

=== Dance Dance Revolution ===

After answering the questions correctly, Bijou will send the player to Dance on the stage. At this point one should make sure to equip a Bow and some arrows and then head behind the stage to meet another NPC with a "Waiting Room" chat window above her head. Entering the chatroom will put the player on queue for the trial. The exam is a simple test of movement and quick responses. Hotkeying [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]] and [[Improve Concentration]] is suggested. Note: there's a poring at the end that has to be killed with a bow and arrows. Using [[Improve Concentration]] is optional; however, the NPC will ask for it.

The Dancing pattern is as follows.

# Back
# Front
# Left
# Right
# Center
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# [[Improve Concentration]]
# Left
# Front
# Right
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# Left, Center, Right, Back
# Right
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Front
# Left
# Center
# [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]]

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. For example: instead of doing "Left Center Right Back" one simply goes from Left to Back.
=== Job Change ===

Returning to the NPC who did the verbal testing for the job chance to Dancer. Either a 3 slotted Line for Job 50, or a 3 slotted Rope for any job change lower than that are awarded as a gift for changing class.
== Equipments Used ==
This is no where a complete list of equipment that is required or suggested. This list is not based around any mini boss or MvP drops.

=== Upper Headgear ===

Besides the "kawaii" headgear you have taking up almost all of your storage, these are some of the basics that are suggested to have for a Dancer.

* Ramen Hat (+4 Dex) (Kafra Shop item) - Suggested for PvM but not WoE/PvP.
* Apple of Archer (+3 Dex) - Suggested for PvM but not WoE/PvP.
* Wise Headgear [1] (+80 SP) (Willow Card) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Erudite Headgear [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Peerless Headgear [1] (Immune to [[Silence]]) - Who would have thought people would try to silence you because they don't like you screaming ([[Dazzler]] on iRO is called Scream on kRO)? This is a great item to have but you sacrifice more dex or damage reduction from demi-humans for immunity to silence.
* Poo Poo Hat (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE.
* Feather Beret (+1 MDEF and 10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.
* Beret (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.

=== Middle Headgear ===

Some of these headgear take up both the middle and lower slots.

* Opera Masque (+1 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Binoculars (+1 Dex) - A headgear that can be used to replace tights if applicable.
* Masquerade (3% more damage against demi-humans)
* Evolved Ribbons (+5 Flee) - Extra flee to help Agi/Dex Dancers flee monsters.
* Alarm Mask (+2 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Erudite Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Wise Sunglasses [1] (+80 SP) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Red Glasses (+5 MDEF) - Great to use to add to your MDEF if you're about to rush a precast in WoE.

=== Lower Headgear ===

*Evolved Pipe (+1 Vit and reduces damage from Brute class monsters by 5%) - More vit to try and gain [[stun]] and [[silence]] immunity and less damage from Brute class monsters when leveling.
*Gangster Mask (15% resistance to Silence) - Helpful if you're not immune to silence using a Marduk Card or having 100 total vit.

=== Armor ===

Tights are suggested because of their +1 Dex but can be replaced with other armors that Dancers can wear if needed.

* Hard Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Pupa Card) - Ideal for the Agi/Dex Dancers who need an extra boost of 700 HP to survive longer.
* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+3 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunter|Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effects|Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the [[Wizard]] Class and the [[Sage]] Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

=== Other Builds ===
== PvM PvP WOE Application ==
== Tips and Tricks ==
Hotkey a dagger and whip or 2 of same whip to stop and change songs fast instead of waiting for Amp.

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+3 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunter|Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.
*Double Bloody Double Composite Bow [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories for Agi/Dex Dancers or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE by WoE or Agi/Dex Dancers.
*Quadruple [[Status Effects|Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

=== Arrows ===

*PvE: Be prepared for any element that may be present on the map you choose to farm/MvP/level on.

*PvP/WoE: Obtaining status arrows depends on how much zeny you have, how much zeny you are willing to spend if it comes to that point, what items you have access to, and what you plan to do in PvP/WoE.

:*[[Stun]] and [[Silence]] (known in-game as Mute Arrows) Arrows/Bows work well against Casters such as the [[Wizard]] Class and the [[Sage]] Class (excluding full support build Sages/Scholars) as they do enough vit to become immune (unless they're wearing a Peerless (Marduk Card) Headgear which makes them immune to silence or they could use items to remove this effect on themselves).

:*[[Curse]]d Arrows/bows work well against players on Peco Pecos such as the Swordsman Class. These arrows and bows help decrease the walking speed of the Swordsman Class so that you have time to run away and hide, strike again later, or keep them at a distance.

:*[[Sleep]] Arrows/bows work well against low Int and low Luk type characters. These are ideal against full support [[Scholar]]s, Agi/Dex [[Sniper]]s, and [[Enchant Deadly Poison]] [[Sonic Blow]] [[Assassin Cross]]es.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

== Common Skill/Stat Builds ==
=== PvM Builds ===
* STR: 1
* AGI: 80-99
* VIT: 1
* INT: 9-53
* DEX: 99
* LUK: 1

[[PvM]] builds of a Dancer echo the [[DEX]]/[[AGI]] [[Hunter]] build. However, decreasing Agi in order to increase [[INT]] will allow you to [[Double Strafe]] more often as well as regenerate SP faster than a Hunter with the same stat build.

=== WOE Builds ===

[[WoE]] Builds use 99 [[DEX]] and the only other 2 stats that are needed are [[INT]] and [[VIT]]. [[INT]] allows the skill [[Dazzler]] to be used more due to increased total [[SP]] of the dancer, while [[VIT]] gives more [[HP]] allowing the dancer to survive longer as well as less chance to get stunned. Both are needed, and should be planned according to a specific skill build selected.

=== Other Builds ===
== PvM PvP WOE Application ==
== Tips and Tricks ==
Hotkey a dagger and whip or 2 of same whip to stop and change songs fast instead of waiting for Amp.

Dancer

2008-08-10T20:27:57Z

VulpesMundi: Updated the Sign Up section slightly

{{Infobox Job|jobName=Dancer|jobBase=Archer|jobType=2-2|changesAt=Comodo|skills=18|skillPoints=91|questSkills=1
|str=2|agi=7|vit=3|int=5|dex=5|luk=8}}

Rhythm and balance are qualities cultivated by all [[Archer]]s, however, only the truly talented are allowed to learn the secret steps of the Dancers. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

It is said that time [[Slow_Grace|slows down]] when a Dancer starts to move her hips to the sound of some mysterious tune; that those watching may [[Charming_Wink|lose control]] of their bodies and find their magic reserves either [[Gypsy's_Kiss|greatly improved]] or [[Hip_Shaker|gone altogether]]. Where their male counterparts, the [[Bard]]s, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize at disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Supporting with a Bard or Dancer requires a different approach than other classes. Music-based buffs are mostly percentual values, as opposed to the absolute values of [[Priest]] buffs, and require careful strategy and positioning, but playing as an [[Archer]] should already provide some experience in this respect. Despite their supportive role, one should not forget that Dancers are also capable of dealing good quantities of damage, one of their main advantages over [[Hunter|Huntresses]] is their immense SP pool which allows them to continually use [[Double Strafe]] instead of normal attacks, ensuring decent damage output.

== General Information ==

To understand how to build a [[Bard]] or Dancer, knowledge of all their skills is needed. Dancer and [[Bard]] skills are, in comparison to other classes, very stat dependent. In general, there are 2 types of skills for both a Dancer and a [[Bard]]; skills which can be sung or danced without a partner of the opposite gender and those where the player needs another [[Bard]] or Dancer respectively.

As a Dancer only whips, daggers and bows are available for weapons, whereas Bards can use instruments instead of whips.

* When armed with a [[Whips|Whip]]:
** Bow skills ([[Double Strafe]], [[Arrow Shower]], [[Arrow Repel]]) cannot be used
** [[Performance Skills]], as well as [[Amp]] and [[Encore]] are available
** Whip skills ([[Slinging Arrow]], [[Arrow Vulcan]]) can be used
** Whip damage depends on the Dancer's [[dex]], NOT [[str]]. Just like it does for [[bow|bows]]
[[Unbarring Octave]], [[Dazzler]], [[Pang Voice]] and [[Charming Wink]] are usable regardless of weapons.

== How to become a Dancer ==
=== Sign up ===

Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, she should head to [[Comodo]]. Near the Kafra employee, there will be a male NPC who will grant entrance into the Dancer Quest. Upon heading inside and talking to the NPC to the left, she will ask the player to fulfill one of the following requirements along with the minimum requirement of Job 40 or more on a female [[Archer]].

# 1 Sandals (unslotted NPC), 10 Black Hair, 20 Jellopy, 5 Yellow Potion, 2 Clam Shell
# 1 Shoes (unslotted NPC), 20 Sticky Mucus, 3 Jellopy, 5 Red Potion
# 1 Boots (unslotted NPC), 5 Earthworm Peeling, 10,0000 zeny

** Note that the NPC will not actually take these items, nor will they ever be used up.

Once signing up is finished, it is time to head in the opposite direction, to the rightside of the map and talk to that NPC.

=== Quiz ===

The quiz involves a simple Q and A session. Getting 80% correct is required to pass this part of the exam. For reference, the following are the questions that are asked for this section of the exam. (The wording however, may differ)

* Question Set A
# What effect does Dance Lessons have? [Raises effects of dance skills]
# What is the dance called where you wear shoes that make a sound and dance a light rhythm? [Tapdance]
# Select the characteristic that a dancer doesn't have. [Wields a 2-handed sword]
# Which town has the most dancers? [Comodo]
# Who dances the most beautifully? [Bijou]
# What do dancers excel at more than other jobs? [Dancing]
# Who is the manager of the Comodo casino? [Moo]
# Which item can a dancer not equip? [Two-handed sword]
# Is this test boring? [No]
# Which of the following is not a Jazz musician? [?]
* Question Set B
# What effect does the bard/dancer ensemble Classic Pluck have? [Nullifies all magic in 9x9 area]
# After dancing on the dance floor, how should you act to your dancing partner? [Say that you're still insufficient]
# If someone is dancing wrong, what should you do? [Point out the mistake]
# Where do you change to a dancer? [Comodo]
# How many caves are there in Comodo? [3]
# Which of the following is not a pet? [Argiope]
# Who is the best dancer? [Bijou]
# The Kafra service in Comodo is provided by which branch? [Kafra service western branch]
# What is my name? [Bijou]
# What does Lullaby do? [Area effect of sleep]
* Question Set C
# What does the dance Lady Luck do? [Increases critical rate]
# Which of the following is not a dance? [Lightning Bolt]
# Which of the following describes a dancer? [A person who dances]
# Which of the following is not typical of Commodo? [There are a lot of thieves]
# What is the place west of Faros Lighthouse Island called? [Kokomo Beach]
# Who dances the most beautifully? [Bijou]
# Which of the following jobs can a dancer combo with? [Bard]
# Which of the following is not a specialty of Comodo? [Shining stones]
# Who is the manager of the Commodo casino? [Moo]
# Who is the person in charge of the dancing school applications? [Aier]

=== Dance Dance Revolution ===

After answering the questions correctly, the NPC will send the player to Dance on the stage. at this point one should make sure to equip a Bow and some arrows and then head behind the stage to meet another NPC with a Chat window above her with "Waiting Room" as the title. Entering the chatroom will put the player on queue for the trial. The exam is a simple test of movement and quick responses. Hotkeyeing [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]] and [[Improve Concentration]] is suggested. Note: there's a poring at the end that has to be killed with a bow and arrows. Using [[Improve Concentration]] is optional; however, the NPC will ask for it.

The Dancing pattern is as follows.

# Back
# Front
# Left
# Right
# Center
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# [[Improve Concentration]]
# Left
# Front
# Right
# Pose (just remain on the tile)
# Left, Center, Right, Back
# Right
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Left, Center, Front, Back
# Front
# Left
# Center
# [[Arrow Shower]] or [[Double Strafe]]

For those future dancers who are having problems with this part of the test: An effective way to pass this exam is to only perform the first and last steps for sequences with more than two steps, rather than hitting all the tiles. i.e. Instead of doing "Left Center Right Back", one simply goes from Left to Back.
=== Job Change ===

Returning to the NPC who did the verbal testing for the job chance to Dancer. Either a 3 slotted Line for Job 50, or a 3 slotted Rope for any job change lower than that are awarded as a gift for changing class.
== Equipments Used ==
This is no where a complete list of equipment that is required or suggested. This list is not based around any mini boss or MvP drops.

=== Upper Headgear ===

Besides the "kawaii" headgear you have taking up almost all of your storage, these are some of the basics that are suggested to have for a Dancer.

* Ramen Hat (+4 Dex) (Kafra Shop item) - Suggested for PvM but not WoE/PvP.
* Apple of Archer (+3 Dex) - Suggested for PvM but not WoE/PvP.
* Wise Headgear [1] (+80 SP) (Willow Card) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Erudite Headgear [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Peerless Headgear [1] (Immune to [[Silence]]) - Who would have thought people would try to silence you because they don't like you screaming ([[Dazzler]] on iRO is called Scream on kRO)? This is a great item to have but you sacrifice more dex or damage reduction from demi-humans for immunity to silence.
* Poo Poo Hat (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE.
* Feather Beret (+1 MDEF and 10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.
* Beret (10% decrease from demi-human attacks) - Use for WoE/PvP.

=== Middle Headgear ===

Some of these headgear take up both the middle and lower slots.

* Opera Masque (+1 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Binoculars (+1 Dex) - A headgear that can be used to replace tights if applicable.
* Masquerade (3% more damage against demi-humans)
* Evolved Ribbons (+5 Flee) - Extra flee to help Agi/Dex Dancers flee monsters.
* Alarm Mask (+2 Def) - If you're not using a Binocular, you might as well use some DEF to decrease the physical damage you recieve.
* Erudite Sunglasses [1] (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Wise Sunglasses [1] (+80 SP) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Red Glasses (+5 MDEF) - Great to use to add to your MDEF if you're about to rush a precast in WoE.

=== Lower Headgear ===

*Evolved Pipe (+1 Vit and reduces damage from Brute class monsters by 5%) - More vit to try and gain [[stun]] and [[silence]] immunity and less damage from Brute class monsters when leveling.
*Gangster Mask (15% resistance to Silence) - Helpful if you're not immune to silence using a Marduk Card or having 100 total vit.

=== Armor ===

Tights are suggested because of their +1 Dex but can be replaced with other armors that Dancers can wear if needed.

* Hard Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Pupa Card) - Ideal for the Agi/Dex Dancers who need an extra boost of 700 HP to survive longer.
* Tights of Ares [1] (+1 Dex) (Peco Peco Card) - Choose this if your base HP is greater than or equal to 7000 HP (giving you 700 HP or more). Great for PvP/PvE if you're not wearing an Unfrozen.
* Unfrozen Tights [1] (+1 Dex) (Marc Card) (Immunity against [[Frozen]] status)
* Solidifying Tights [1] (+1 Dex and chance to cast Stone Curse on enemy when user is physically attacked) - An effort to immobilize whoever is hitting you so that you can get some range and start your attack or run away and wait for a better moment to strike.

There are other specific armors out there that are beneficial (or sometimes not beneficial depending on the situation) such as those that change the element of the player (Swordfish Card, Dokebi Card, Pasana Card, etc) and those that cause status effects to your enemies under certain conditions (Demon Fungus Card, Brilight Card, etc.)

=== Garment ===

Mufflers are suggested because they are easily obtainable. They can be replaced with Wool Scarfs (+4 MDEF) or Heavenly Maiden's Robe (+1 more DEF than Mufflers).

* Bow-Master's Garment (Dragon Tail Card) (5% increase damage to Double Strafe and Arrow Shower) - Also apart of the archer and Gypsy/Minstrel set, this is great for the times when you are Double Strafing or Arrow Showering whether in WoE, PvP, or PvE.
* Anti-Sniping Garment (Noxious Card) (10% resistance against long ranged attacks and neutral property attacks) - Great for WoE. However, as a Dancer, it is up to you to decide when and where to use an Anti-Sniping Muffler or an Immune Muffler.
* Immune Garment (Raydric Card) (20% resistance against neutral property attacks) - If you're not wearing any of the two above, it is suggested that you be wearing this garment.

There are other specific garments out there that are beneficial such as those that give resistance to certain elements (Jakk Card, Marse Card, etc).

=== Footgear ===

Boots are suggested because they're the footgear with the highest defense that Dancers can wear.

* +9 Superior Footgear [1] (Firelock Soldier Card) (+2 Str and, if upgraded to +9, 10% more HP and SP) - More HP to live longer and more SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.
* Green Footgear [1] (Martyr Card) (+1 Agi and 10% more HP) - More HP to live longer and +1 Agi for Agi/Dex Dancers.
* Soul-Enchanted Footgear [1] (Sohee Card) (15% more SP and increase SP recovery by 3%) - More SP to use skills and increase overall SP regeneration.

The above three footgear can be substituted for other footgear such as those that gives the player more experience for killing a certain race of monsters (Am Mut Card, Mini Demon Card, etc.)

=== Accessory ===

* Nimble Glove [1] (+4 Dex) (90+ base level) or Nimble Clip [1] (+3 Dex) (no level restriction) (both are Zerom Cards) - Suggested to gain more dex for leveling or even for PvP/WoE.
* Earring (+2 Int) - More Int to increase effect of [[Gypsy's Kiss]].
* Rosary of Four Leaf Clover - (+3 MDEF, +1 Luk) (5% less damage from long ranged physical attacks) (Alligator Card) - Ideal for WoE/PvP because of the MDEF and the decrease from long ranged physical attacks.

=== Shield ===

Unlike [[Hunter|Hunters]], Dancers can wear bucklers with one-handed weapons.

*Cranial Buckler [1] (Thara Frog Card) - Suggested for PvP/WoE and sometimes PvE depending on the monsters on the map.

There are other specific shields that can be beneficial to a Dancer as well (Penomena Card, Flame Skull Card, Teddy Bear Card, etc.)

=== Weapon ===

Dancers are allowed to use shields with whips. However they are not allowed to used shields with bows as bows take up both the right and left hand slots.

*Double Bloody Double Boned Rope [4] (2x Hydra Card, 2x Skeleton Worker Card) - Can be used for leveling at Bathories or even used to attack players in PvP/WoE.
*Solid Triple Vital Rope [4] (Golem Card, 3x Fabre Card) - Suggested for a Dancer dancing [[Classical Pluck]] with a [[Bard]] in order to avoid from letting players break your whip and to increase your vit and your HP by 300.

*Quadruple [[Status Effects|Status Effect]] Composite Bow [4] (any status effect card; Marina Card, Savage Bebe Card, Plankton Card, Magnolia Card, etc.) - If you think or know you can't take down a player or more by yourself, you can try to slow them down, or even immobilizing them, using status bows. On top of that, you could use status arrows but some are harder to obtain than others.

:*[[Frozen]] Arrows/bows may work better using Arrow Shower and Arrow Showering a group of players closely packed but, most of the time, players are wearing Unfrozen armor in WoE and PvP.

Pet System

2008-02-06T05:52:04Z

VulpesMundi: Added New Year Doll

{{Articles Needing DB Links}}

== Basics ==
A cute pet is a monster which will follow you throughout Rune-Midgard to keep you company and empty your wallet. They have no special skills,except when loyal(what they do may vary) or anything special about them except being cute. There are several different types of Cute Pets with varying levels of difficulty to obtain and maintain.

You can only change your pet's name ONCE using the 'Pet Status' menu. So, please be careful when deciding your pet's name.

== Obtaining A Pet ==
To get a pet, you will need to have a pet taming item and an Pet Incubator. Incubators can be bought from various pet NPCs in most major towns. Pet taming items must be obtained by monsters drops. Refer to the chart below to see what is needed for each pet.

To use a taming item, simply double click it in your item window. When you see the monster you want to tame on the screen hover the circle over the monster and click. A slot machine will appear and you must click again to get a chance at taming the monster. If you fail you lose the taming item and get no pet. If you succeed you will lose the taming item and receive a pet egg. Depleting the HP of the monster before attempting to catch it does not raise the chance for success. Neither does having high levels of LUK or Blessing oneself. These are all false.

Once you have obtained a pet egg, you need to use a Pet Incubator (sold by pet NPC in any major town) to hatch the pet egg. To hatch the egg, simply click on the Incubator and you will get a small menu like the one you get when you use a magnifier. Simply click on the pet you wish to hatch and it will appear. I suggest that you have food handy when you open the egg for the first time because the pet will be hungry.

== Raising a Pet ==
The first thing you should do is feed your pet. If you don't feed it quickly enough it will likely run away. It is also likely to run away if you feed it too much. When feeding your pet first you should open the status window for the pet. Right click on the pet and click on the option for status. A window will pop up where you will see the name of the pet, what level the pet is, if it is wearing any accessories, and whether or not it is hungry. To feed your pet simply right-click on it and choose "Feed Pet". Your pet will then make an emote, letting you know it has eaten. It is possible to overfeed your pet. Only feed it once at a time and it's intimacy will slowly rise. It should give you the Ok! emote. If you continue to feed it it will give the Hmmm or Pif emote. Feed it again and it will use the OMG! emote and die. You must control how much your pet eats.

Another note about feeding your pet: Monster's Feed is not the same as Pet Food despite having identical icons. Your pet will only eat Pet Food if it's designed to NOT monster feed. Monster's Feed is only good for recovering your own HP.

When you are tired of your pet or have run out of money to keep it out, you can return it to egg status. Simply right click on the pet and choose the selection. You will need an incubator to hatch the pet again. You do not need to take accessories off the pet when you put it into its egg.

== Mechanics ==
There are basically 5 different status to your pet's Hunger levels and Intimacy Levels. There is actually one more level for hunger, but I didn't have the heart to starve a poring for accurate data.
{| class="wikitable"
|'''Intimacy level'''||'''Hunger Level'''||'''Point System'''||'''Characteristics'''
|-
|Very Shy||Very Hungry||Less than 100||Ready to run far far away from a bad master
|-
|Shy||Hungry||100-250||Uses moody emotes such as /pif and /wah
|-
|Neutral||Neutral||250-599||Uses normal emotes such as /no1 and /ok
|-
|Cordial||Satisfied||600-899||Uses affectionate emotes such as /lv and /kis and talks when fed.
|-
|Loyal||Stuffed||900-1000||Talks often and uses affectionate emotes
|-
|}
*Each pet starts at different intimacy level ranging from 250-399. The higher level the monster the lower the beginning intimacy level.
*Each feeding will also give different incremental points depending on the pet
*All pets below Level 33 will have 10-15 points increase per feeding
*All pets above Level 33 will have 5 points per feeding
*Pet intimacy level goes down by 15 points each time you die.
*Pet intimacy level goes down by 5 points when you put it into its egg.

'''Level Requirements: Base Level 60+'''

'''Item Requirements: 1 Green Potion, 1 Yellow Gemstone'''

'''Zeny Requirements: 2,000 Zeny (1,000 if you completed Dandelion's Request)

'''Quest Reward: 1.6m Base Experience'''

1. Walk near Busy Looking Boy (prontera 248, 212) in [[Prontera]] to trigger a conversation. After picking up the books with him, you will be asked to send them to the Historian, Mr. Karlomoff in Juno.

2. Travel to [[Juno]] and find the Historian, Karlomoff (yuno 311, 195). After a conversation about a tradiational rhyme, you will be requested to deliver a report to a colleague in [[Morroc]].

3. Proceed to a building at Morroc 5 o'clock (morocc 198, 63) to find the Historian, Rodafrian (morocc_in 45, 126). Tell her the rhyme you previously heard, but you will be asked to find someone in Mjolnir to verify it.

4. Find the Historian, Mondo (mjolnir_01 135 168) and tell him the version you heard:

* The great serpent swallowed the sea.
* The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.
* Then the eagle built its nest.
* A nest upon the swallowed sea.

You will then be asked to find a child who sang the rhyme.

5. Find the Absent-Minded Boy (mjolnir_01 313, 269) to hear the rhyme, but you will be interrupted by the Exhaused-Looking Woman (mjolnir_01 316, 268). Talk to the woman again and you will be requested to send herbs to Father Bamph in Prontera Church.

6. Talk to Father Bamph (prt_church 185, 106) to learn about the Jormungand Curse. He will request you to inquire about the rhyme from the woman.

13. Find Marjana (que_job01 10, 16) in the room to understand the method of using Yellow Gemstone and Green Potion to identify poison. (Players will only have 4 minutes to remain in the room).

14. Return to Morroc (you must leave the building normally, using teleport or butterfly wing will cause problems!). You will reflect on what you now know, and have to decide on one of the following:

A. Go back to Father Bamph first, or

B. Inform Rodafrian.

=== Sonic Acceleration Quest ===
''[[Assassin]]s must complete this quest in order to learn the [[Sonic Acceleration]] skill.''

'''Level Requirements: Job 40+'''

1. After learning Venom Knife, talk to Esmille(the NPC on the right side). She will teach you the skill only after you've completed a task. Kiltin asks you to retrieve a jewel from either Sphinx B2 or Pyramids 4F.

2. In Sphinx B2, there are two places where you can obtain the gem. You only have to get one jewel from either of these locations (If the first doesn't work go the the second one, and vice-versa). The first coffin site can be found at 1 o'clock (216,268), approximately two screens west of the entrance to Sphinx B3, where there will be a coffin on a raised platform. Walk up to the platform to activate the dialogue and you will be prompted to make a choice. Depending on what you choose you will be poisoned, blinded, or cursed. Just be persistent and continue selecting and eventually you will receive a Sapphire.

3. The second coffin site is at around 9 o'clock (18, 163), where you will find a statue with an ornament. It's booby-trapped and will put you to sleep with gas. Again, keep trying and you will receive a Ruby.

4. In Pyramids 4F, the gem is located at middle of the left side of the enclosed water area. Keep walking around it to get an Aquamarine.

5. Return to Esmille with the gem to receive the Sonic Acceleration skill.
