Becoming a Tamer takes three short quests and costs nothing. You must be a Beginner of Level 10 or higher.
Steps
You can start at either fairy; both orders end the same way.
- Rowen first: find Rowen the Fairy in Ellinia, high in the trees on the eastern side. She offers A Fairy's Errand: go to Mar's Forest.
- Mar first: if you reach Mar before Rowen, Mar offers Rowen's Introduction and sends you to Rowen. Rowen then hands that in and offers A Fairy's Errand.
- The portal to Mar's Forest is at the eastern end of Ellinia's ground level.
- Talk to Mar the Fairy to hand in A Fairy's Errand (600 EXP, 300 Vesos). Rowen's Introduction pays the same.
- Accept The First Binding. It asks for nothing: accepting it turns you into a Tamer at once (260 EXP, 300 Vesos, 20 Red Potions).
What you get
- A Lv 10 Snail partner, lent by Mar.
- 5 Plain Binding Charms in your Setup tab (see Tamer Starter Charms). If the tab is full they are still credited and move into the bag when there is room.
- The skills Hushed Steps and Beckon (see Tamer Skills).
- In Mar's menu: About Tamers and Buy Binding Charms.
Reaching Mar
Mar's Forest has no ropes. You arrive at the top right end of a long sloping path. Mar stands on a small ledge far below the middle of that path. Walk along the path until you are above her and press Down + Jump to drop through. Hidden portals (stand on the spot and press Up) link the rest of the forest: the lower left end of the path to the right-hand ledge, that ledge to a small platform near the floor, and a small platform on the left to the left-hand ledge. To leave, return the same way and use the portal where you arrived.
Common problems
- Mar will not offer the pact. You must be a Beginner at Lv 10 or more. Under Lv 10 she asks you to come back; with a job already chosen the quests are not offered.
- I already have a job. A Reset Book from the Cash Shop returns any job to Beginner while keeping your level; the Tamer doors then open normally.
- My weapon does nothing. Correct. Tamers cannot hurt monsters with their own swing.
- Monsters start a battle when I touch them. That is intended. Use Hushed Steps to walk past monsters you do not want to meet.
