Black Charm
The Necklace of Strength
The Necklace of Wisdom01 | Spend all your skill points
At level 70, open the skill window and spend every leftover 1st and 2nd job point. If you see the 3rd job instructor with points left, they just tell you to spend them and give no quest.
3rd job advancement guide
The 3rd job isn't hard, there are just a lot of places to go, and halfway through it's easy to forget who's next. So here it is in one place; just follow along. Every NPC, monster and item in the text links to its data.
The quest has two parts:
- Test of Strength: go back to your 1st job instructor, enter the other dimension, defeat their clone and trade the Black Charm for the Necklace of Strength
- Test of Wisdom: bring a Dark Crystal to the Holy Stone and answer its questions; get them all right for the Necklace of Wisdom
Hand both necklaces to your 3rd job instructor and you're done.
Before you start, check two things: You're level 70, and every skill point is spent; otherwise the 3rd job instructor won't give you the quest.

Quest items you'll use
The Black Charm drops from your clone and is traded for the Necklace of Strength; the Necklace of Wisdom needs a perfect quiz. All three are quest items and disappear once handed in.
Step by step · NPC locations and what to bring
How to run the 3rd job
There are no waits in this quest; with everything on hand you can finish in one go. After each hand-in, talk to the same NPC again and make sure the quest moved on before you leave.
(The routes below show the order only, not real distances; the quiz wording varies a little between versions, so go by the keywords.)
Before you go: skill points and Dark Crystals
02 | At least one Dark Crystal; better bring a few
Each quiz attempt costs one Dark Crystal, and one wrong answer means starting over with another, so bring a few to be safe. If you have none, take Dark Crystal Ore to Vogen in El Nath to refine it, or buy from other players.
Part 1: Test of Strength
1Chief's Residence→2 Back to the 1st job instructor→3 Door of Dimension→4The Other Dimension→5 1st job instructor: trade for the Necklace of Strength→6Chief's Residence
03 | Take the quest at the Chief's Residence in El Nath
All five classes' 3rd job instructors are in the Chief's Residence; talk to yours. They send you back to Victoria Island to prove yourself to the instructor who gave you your 1st job.
04 | Back to the 1st job instructor for the clone quest
On Victoria Island, your 1st job instructor tells you a clone of theirs is in another dimension and asks you to defeat it. Then head to your class's Door of Dimension.
Each class's Door of Dimension
Only a class with the quest can enter its door; for others nothing happens. Click the door and you're sent to the other dimension.
| Class | 1st job instructor | Map with the door | How to get there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Dances with Balrog | Ant Tunnel Park | Enter the Ant Tunnel on the right of Sleepywood and keep going right |
| Magician | Grendel the Really Old | The Forest of Evil II | Far right of the map |
| Bowman | Athena Pierce | Sleepy Dungeon V | Enter through the house below Sleepywood; top right of the map |
| Thief | Dark Lord | Monkey Swamp II | Top right of the map |
| Pirate | Kyrin | The Cave of Evil Eye II | Enter the Ant Tunnel on the right of Sleepywood, then go to The Cave of Evil Eye |
05 | Defeat the clone within 20 minutes and pick up the Black Charm
The clone appears as soon as you enter, and you have 20 minutes. Every clone is level 80, so bring plenty of potions. The Pirate's clone summons smaller clones; focus on the main one. Once it's dead, pick up the Black Charm and click the Sparkling Crystal on the map to leave.
06 | Trade the Black Charm for the Necklace of Strength and return to the Chief's Residence
Give the Black Charm to your 1st job instructor for the Necklace of Strength. Take it back to your 3rd job instructor at the Chief's Residence in El Nath; then comes part 2.
Part 2: Test of Wisdom
07 | Find the entrance to the Holy Ground at Sharp Cliff II
Walk out of El Nath to Sharp Cliff II; the entrance at the top right of the map leads to the Holy Ground at the Snowfield. Dark Pepes and Dark Yetis roam nearby. Keep your Dark Crystal with you.
08 | Hand in a Dark Crystal and answer five questions
Click the Holy Stone and hand in a Dark Crystal to start five questions. Get all five right for the Necklace of Wisdom; one wrong answer ends it, and you start over with another crystal. The answers are listed below.
09 | Hand in the Necklace of Wisdom: 3rd job done
Back at the Chief's Residence, give the Necklace of Wisdom to your 3rd job instructor and pick your 3rd job. Don't forget to spend your new 3rd job skill points.
