ROSE Online/Hawker



Hawkers are fast characters, and wear light armor. They base themselves on dexterity, which is their main stat that supports damage and dodging. Hawkers use katars, dual weapons or bows. They can also hide, boost up their critical and dodge rate, and throw poison knives at their enemies. At level 100, hawkers can become scouts or raider. Basically they're a cross between a ninja and a bowman.

Hawker 1st job advancement
Once a visitor hits level 10, they must travel to the Canyon City of Zant and talk to an NPC called Warren who will direct them to Shannon located in the Valley of Luxen Tower. Shannon will then instruct you to hunt 20 Crystal Dews from Mother Choropys, Spotted Choropys and King Beans. Once you've obtained this amount, Shannon will then send you back to Warren who will advance you as a Hawker.

Hawker 2nd job advancement
When the hawker first hit level 100 (used to be 70), they can undergo second job advancement. First the player must talk to Mayor Darren in Junon whom will send you over to the armor merchant Saki. Saki will then tell the story of a famous Hero called Kiera. He'll then ask for Kierans Compass and Kierans Sundial from Krawfy King located at Kenji beach. After you've obtained those two items, talk to Saki again whom will direct you over to the historian Jones located in southern Junon Polis. He'll ask for 5 different volumes of Kieran's diary pages. These can be obtained from Goblin Warriors in Goblin Cave B2. Once you've obtained these pages, he'll send you over to the Tavern Owner in Zant. She'll ask you to find Kierans Phoenix Quill which is dropped by Stone Golems in Gorge of Silence. After you find it, go back to the tavern owner and she'll award you with a recommendation which you give back to Darren. Darren will then ask you for 200 000 Zulies before he'll advance you as either a Raider or Scout.

Here are a few tips when you're doing the quest:
 * Make sure you've prepared a lot of return scrolls, they can be purchased from Arumic Merchant Chester in south eastern Junon Polis, you'll be using them often.
 * Krawfy King is a boss spawned in four places in Kenji Beach, they often spawn along with Junon Golems after every five minutes. Take note that there's other players wanting to kill this boss for their job advancement quest as well, not only Hawkers so don't be too surprised when you get kill stealed without warning. And also note that the quest item drops are infrequent and you may have to take awhile hunting them. If you plan to advance as a Raider, you're going to have a hard time since you're easily ksed so bows are recommended.
 * The quest item dropped by Stone Golem is also infrequent and may take some time before obtaining it.

Stat builds
Hawkers rely heavily on Dex as opposed to Soldiers as DEX is their damage. Aside from that, Hawkers need a bit on STR, CON and SEN. For the builds, it is strongly recommended that STR and CON should be -5 your level and for every 3 stats spent on DEX, 1 SEN must be added making it a 3:1 ratio.

Skill Tree
As with all classes, skillbooks must be bought from various NPCs in towns. Hawkers have three branches in the skill tree. Bow Mastery, Combat Mastery and Knuckle Mastery. To learn new skills you must buy skill books from Francis in Zant or from Darren in Junon.
