Specializations

Specializations

They are a unique part of the progression of the Thief tree. Specializations provide a unique step in the progression for them.

For anyone unfamiliar, they are similar to the old Rebirth Jobs, except that they just expand your job capabilities, they don't reset it.

Details for Specializations

To choose a specialization:

• Assassin or Rogue Job Level 50
