How it plays

The Phantom Thief is the most versatile job class available. It can learn all kinds of tricks to fight under any situation.

Due to its unique access to all specializations of both Assassin and Rogue trees, it can fit into any build or party composition.

The max job level of the Phantom Thief is 70. It requires Base Level 99, and is an advancement from Unchained Thief.

Requirement to change job: A level 99 Unchained Thief must deliver 200 Distortion Shards to Melody, the Phantom Thief.

The hall is sealed off and no warp leads in. The Unchained Assassin standing outside the Orphanage, at va_orpha 314,370, is the door: talk to her and she walks you in. She opens it for a Thief at Job Level 50 who took no specialisation, and for an Assassin or a Rogue at Base Level 99 who never took one either.
