Ragnarok Online Job Change Monk Quest


Guarding Monk
prt_monk (59, 247) 







Visit the Monk Abbey (prt_monk), located one map East, one map North and two maps East of Prontera.

Alternative route to the Monk Abbey is to go to the Prontera Church (prontera 234, 314) in the northeastern corner of Prontera. Go to the room to the righthand side and talk to Priest Praupin, ask him "What should I do?" then select "Go to the convent."

Talk to Guarding Monk (St. Capitolina Abbey 59, 247) then enter the warp (St. Capitolina Abbey 245, 106) and talk to Sensei Moohae. If you meet the qualifications, he will give you the first test, item collecting.



Sensei Moohae
monk_in (99, 58)






Sensei Moohae will assign you one of the following quests:
Set Items
Set 1 5 Cyfar, 10 Yellow Herb, 10 White Herb
Set 2 5 Solid Shell, 20 Shell, 5 Zargon
Set 3 5 Porcupine Quill, 10 Bug Leg, 20 Cobweb
Set 4 5 Sticky Mucus, 10 Earthworm Peeling, 20 Green Herb
Set 5 10 Tooth of Bat, 5 Bear Footskin, 20 Poison Spore
Set 6 30 Stem, 5 Jellopy, 10 Worm Peelings
Set 7 20 Yoyo Tail, 5 Iron Ore, 3 Blue Herb


Once the items have been collected, return to Sensei Moohae. You will be directed to Elder Touha, located at (prt_monk 251, 255), in the top right area, for the memory test.



Touha
prt_monk (251, 255)






Elder Touha will have you remember one of the following:
  • And sheperds we shall be, for thee my lord for thee. Power path decended forth from the hand so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command and we shall flow a river forth thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
  • I seek the path of enlightenment. We monks shall hold true to what we believe and will help protect others through the teachings we learn through our lives. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
  • I commit myself to veritas and aequitas. I will follow my path to enlightenment and purity. I will protect my brothers with life. Evil shall never be victorious while I breathe. In nomine Patris, et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
She will read entire passage out before allowing you to recite it. There is no penalty for failing; you can simply retry the test. Once complete, you will be sent to Boohae, located at (prt_monk 57, 179), on the bottom left side of the map.


Boohae
prt_monk (57,179)









Boohae will give you the option of two tests: Marathon and Mushroom collecting (Only reason to choose 'Marathon' over 'Mushroom' is lack of agility/concentration potion). Later, the player may return to Boohae to change the test, if it is needed.


Monkmaze.jpg
Left : The Marathon track for step 7a including the holes. Right: The Maze for Step 8. Randomly picks 1 of the 3 mazes.


Bashu
monk_test (329,61)








If you choose "Marathon": Talk to the door keeper in front of the Abby at (prt_monk 192,170). After, enter the building and find Bashu. Tell him "Marathon". He will then send you to another area.
Run around this map without falling into the pits for 10 laps to complete the Marathon test (each time through the end portal counts as a completed lap). The map is shaped like a ring, with occasional holes that players can fall into. This test is easier to complete by lowering the camera angle very low (Ctrl+Shift+mouse wheel up), allowing pits far ahead to be seen easily.
Note that disconnecting will send you back to your save point. After the test is completed with all ten laps,you will automatically be sent out. It takes approximately 30 minutes with Increase Agility to complete.


If you choose "Collect Mushrooms": you will be sent to another map where you must hunt two types of mushrooms (Gooey & Orange). The NPC does not tell the player that they have enough mushrooms until they have 30 of either type of mushroom. During the test you will also encounter Thief Bugs who will loot your mushrooms and assist other thief bugs if attacked. These are however quite weak considering your level.

The mushrooms from the Thief test can also be used. While it is possible to have a prospective Thief gather the mushrooms, it should be easier to have an Acolyte with high agility and buffs to complete this test faster. It is best to do this bare-handed for maximum ASPD (since the damage is 1 even with a weapon).


 

Tomoon
monk_test (319, 139)






Now locate Tomoon, also found indoors within the Abbey (prt_monk 192, 170) inside what appears to be a glowing cross. He sends you to an invisible maze. Be warned that during this test, monsters will spawn, such as Zombies and Mummies. They should not be much of a challenge, but keep in mind that you don't have much maneuvering area here.
It is possible to check if a certain cell is passable by pointing the cursor at it. Walkable cells will have the usual green walk marker; if there is none, then that cell is blocked. Generally, try sticking to a straight line from the door to the exit. If there is a choice of routes, take the one that goes closer to the center line. Patience is highly required. Disconnecting in this test will send a player back to their save point. Once out of the maze, talk to Tomoon again and drink the Green Potion he hands over.

 
 Sensei Moohae
monk_in (99, 58







Then return to Moohae who, after giving a lengthy speech, job changes you into a Monk. As a reward, he'll give you a Waghnak [3] or a Knuckle Duster [3] if your job level is 50.

Ragnarok Online Job Change Dancer Quest

 
Bor Robin
comodo (193, 151)







Whenever the player considers herself ready to become a Dancer, 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.
 

Aire
job_duncer (43, 93)







Upon heading inside, talk to Aile to the left side of the stage. She will ask the player to bring one of the following set of items:

  3. 1 Boots [0], 5 Earthworm Peeling, 10,000 zeny

After passing the quiz, 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. Using Improve Concentration is optional, even though 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 (NOT Front, Right as iRO in-game dialogue says!)
  • 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.

Return to the NPC who gave the quiz for the job change to Dancer. She will reward you with either a Line [3] for Job 50, or a Rope [3] for any job level lower than 50.

Ragnarok Online Job Change Bard Quest


Wandering Bard
comodo (226, 123)







Find the Roaming Bard, Lalo, who is at (226,123) on the Comodo town map. This is a short distance from the bottom right of the Kafra. After a short conversation with the bard he will request that the player brings him a flower. The flower must be one of the following:
  • Aloe
  • Frozen Rose
  • Hinalle
  • Illusion Flower
  • Izidor
  • Ment
  • Singing Flower
  • Witherless Rose
Once you have given the bard a flower, he will tell you to go to Lutie to become friends with the Snowman in Lutie:

Snowysnow Quest


Father Christmas
xmas_in (100, 96)







Find Snowysnow the snowman in Lutie (133,112). Select the option in blue that reads "Snowysnow?" You may need to talk to him a couple of times, but when he is immersed in thought about Poze, you need to find him.
  • Note: If you are doing this quest as part of the Bard Job Change, you have to speak to an NPC inside the top right house (189,275) and then talk to Snowysnow again to activate Poze.

Poze is located to the west of the Toy Factory entrance, he is wearing a red Christmas coat (117,303). Talk to Poze and he will send you to talk to Uncle Hairy Cantata.




Uncle Hairy is located to the southeast of the Toy Factory entrance, outside a house (177,236). When you talk to him, he will want you to bring two items to him before he will talk to you. Bring 1 Squid Ink and 1 Sticky Mucus.




Return to Hairy with these items and he will talk to you about the snowman, and suggests that you talk to Thachentze to learn more.

Thachentze is in a house to the west of the large Christmas tree (122,159). In the house you'll find a Lenient Aunt. This is Thachentze, talk to her.

She will send you to get the Roughest Salt in the world from the snowman. So return to the snowman and talk to him again.

When you talk to the snowman again, select the first option, the one in blue. This will lead you though a dialogue, and at the end, you get the salt.

Return to Thachentze and talk to her again, she will then send you to talk to the clown Hashokii (147,136).

Hashokii is just to the south of the big Christmas tree. Talk to him and ask him about the snowman. He will then send you to talk to two children, Charu Charu and Marcell (207,167).

The two children are east of the tree. Be sure to talk to the "little boy" first. He will then tell you to talk to the girl next to him.

At the end of the girl's monologue, she will send you back once more to talk to the snowman. Again, select the blue option. The snowman will give you a gift from his bag; reach in and you get a present!




 









Once you become friends with Mr. Snowman, return to the bard to finish the quest. He will require the player to type exactly what he sings.
Possible songs include (remove the space at the end of each line if you are copy-pasting the song):

A Merchant without money or equipment,
a Merchant that couldn't sell anything.
But he was too proud to beg.
So he gathered some money selling items.
At first he only sold Red Potions.
Some say he sold Sweet Potatoes, too.


All Gods never age.
The ever so beautiful Goddess Eden,
Beautiful and graceful Goddess Eden,
Odin's daughter-in-law and Bragi's wife.
Her sweet apples in her basket,
All thanks to her sweet apples.


There was a man
who was said to be immortal.
His name Jichfreid,
Son of the hero Jichmunt.
The evil giant Papner,
Turned into a dragon and ate him.


Louder, louder, louder
Give strength to the warriors!
Shake the sky and roar through the land.
Make my heart pound again!
Let the castle walls ring.
This day will never come again!


Bragi, Bragi,
Forever call the poets name.
My songs are his breath,
My mind is his will,
All wandering poets are his people,
And all praise shall go to him.

After successfully copying the bard's lyrics, he will change your job to Bard. Upon job change, the bard offers to give you a weapon if you have 60 trunks. Each type of trunk gives the player a different weapon.
  • Trunk : Violin [3]
  • Solid Trunk or Barren Trunk : Mandolin [2]
  • Fine-grained Trunk : Lute [2]
  • Fine-grained Trunk + Job Level 50 : Harp [2]
