Archer or Assassin?
The first job change at level 10 makes you a Hunter on Karus or a Ranger on El Morad; the master names are Shadow Vain and Kasar Hood. All tabs are in the same class: Archery skills need a bow and burn an Arrow per shot, Assassin hits need a dagger, and Search holds survival and invisible-detection skills. What players call Archer or Assassin is simply where the points are stacked.
| Topic | Archer | Assassin |
|---|---|---|
| Tab | Archery | Assassin |
| Weapon | Bow (crossbow types too) | Dagger, jamadar in the left hand |
| Uses up | An Arrow per shot | Throwing-knife for Throwing Knife |
| Biggest hit | Power Shot (80, 800%) | Spike (55, 600%) |
| Invisibility | Hide (Search 0, 40 s standing still) | Stealth (Assassin 45, 80 s while not attacking) |
| Player-only skills | Blinding Strafe (75) | Blinding (72), Beast Hiding (75), Critical Point (80) |
Archer is the easier start: you hit from range, Multiple Shot fires 3 arrows and Arrow Shower 5. Assassin has to get close but is deadlier in PvP: of the seven Rogue skills that only work on players, three sit in the Assassin tab and just one in Archery.
How many skill and stat points does a Rogue get?
The math is the same for every class: 2 skill points per level after 10 and 3 stat points per level (5 from level 61). At 83 that's 148 skill points and 302 stat points to place, and no tab can go above your level. The level-by-level table is in Warrior skill and stat build.

What do the Search and Master skills do?
Two party skills come with your level: Swift at 10 and Strength Of Wolf at 30. The Search tab is about spotting invisible enemies, defense buffs and cleansing curses; the master tab fills one point per level after 60, up to 23.
| Skill | Tab | Points | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swift | Basic (level) | 10 | Speeds up a friend |
| Strength Of Wolf | Basic (level) | 30 | +20% attack for the party within 35 for 2 minutes (uses Blood of wolf) |
| Hide | Search | 40 seconds invisible while standing still | |
| Cat's Eyes | Search | 15 | See invisible enemies for 50 seconds |

What is the best Rogue skill build?
| Path | Archery | Assassin | Search | Master | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Archer | 80 | 45 | 23 | Power Shot, Blinding Strafe, Arrow Shower, Lupine Eyes, Cure Curse | |
| Assassin | 80 | 45 | 23 | Critical Point, Beast Hiding, Spike, Stealth, Lupine Eyes |
45 points in Search is enough for us: Lupine Eyes (35) lets the party see invisible enemies and Cure Curse (36) removes resistance debuffs. Cure Disease needs 48, so taking it costs 3 points from your main tab. While leveling, fill the main tab first and move to Search after.
What is the best Rogue stat build?
A Rogue starts with STR 60, HP 60, DEX 70, INT 50 and MP 50. Per the in-game description, DEX raises hit rate and the attack of arrows and knives, HP raises max HP, and STR only helps melee attacks other than arrows and knives, so it does little for a Rogue.
The common build among players is DEX up to 255 with every other point in HP. At 83, 185 of your 302 points take DEX from 70 to 255 and the other 117 bring HP to 177. Gear agrees: the level 75 Krowaz, Rosetta and Holy Knight Assassin tops need DEX 196 and HP 94, level 80 bows DEX 142, daggers DEX 174 and jamadars DEX 180.
How do you master a Rogue and unlock the 70-80 skills?
To master at level 60, bring Unstable Centaur' Heart, GaruKonga's Essence and Trethonz's Essence to [Secret Agent] Clarence (Belua Village on Karus, Asga Village on El Morad); see How to unlock master in USKO: the level 60 quest, NPC and materials. Clarence also gives the skill quests, all paid in Spell Stone Powder; the 72 quest is in Knight Online 72 skill (72Lv skill) quest: Secret Agent Clarence, requirements and reward and Magic Shield in Knight Online Magic Shield quest: Secret Agent Clarence, requirements and reward.
| Quest | Level | Required | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|

| 72Lv skill | 72 | 7 Spell Stone Powder | Blow Arrow, Blinding |
