The Defender is an advanced class of the Human nation. A Fighter becomes a Defender at level 10 or higher, by choosing it at a Fighter Trainer.
Becoming a Defender
- Talk to a Fighter Trainer with a Fighter of level 10 or higher and choose the Defender.
- The main stats are set to what a Defender gains from its levels, as if the character had been one since level 1, and the bonus points are recalculated.
- Fighter Trainers stand in: South Coast (Aldia Port); South Coast (The First Rest); South Coast (Tesitio); South Coast (Watcher); Sainna Island (New Bellin Port); Sainna Island (Adi); Sainna Island (Faery Lake); Caernarvon (Vitory).
