Pathfinder

Job

Pathfinder is a special branch of the Explorer Bowman class. Pathfinder is created separately, has a separate tutorial and job advancements. Their second job is Ancient Archer, their third job is Soulchaser, and their fourth job is Pathfinder.

Story

The Pathfinder was originally a regular Explorer, and was a close friend of Athena Pierce. She always had an affinity for ancient relics, and sought after their powers. One day, she stumbled upon a mysterious cave near Henesys, where she found an entire research lab, leading her into the ancient ruins of Partem, located deep underground. The clues led her to a mysterious box, containing a very ancient and powerful relic. However, the relic was cursed, and a huge monster appeared and attacked her. The powerful curse stole her powers from her, and, equipped with a mysterious Ancient Bow, she must learn more about the ancient relic to overcome the curse and gain back her powers.

Class Specifics

The Pathfinder job branch, unlike other Bowmen, has their own tutorial, where they start in Partem. Using Ancient Bows as primary weapons and Relics as secondary weapons, Pathfinder receives power from the Relic to gain different attacks that can boost each other.

Pathfinders, unlike other Explorer Bowmen, do not gain a job specialty skill in 2nd job, but have other abilities to make up for it. In second job, Pathfinder receives the Relic Gauge, which can be charged to use powerful skills. Pathfinder receives three types of attacks: Cardinal Force, Ancient Force, and Enchant Force. Cardinal Force attacks will increase the Relic Gauge, as well as change the Relic Gauge's emblem. The three Cardinal Force attacks are Cardinal Deluge, Cardinal Burst, and Cardinal Torrent, each of which has its own Relic Gauge emblem that will change the properties of Enchant Force. Ancient Force attacks will consume the gauge to deal powerful damage and weaken enemies. Enchant Force attacks will have different properties based on the last Cardinal Force attack that was used, with Deluge skills emphasizing groups of monsters, Burst skills focusing on solo combat, and Torrent skills focusing on mobility.
