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
Any Base Level
Talk to a Master in the Desert Guild
You will receive a free skill reset. Your Job Level will continue from 50 but max job level will be expanded to 70.
You can use skill points freely between Assassin/Rogue or the Specialization skills.
Once you're Job Level 70, you can advance to the final job.
