GETTING NINJA Ninja is an advanced job that you can get when you reach lvl 30. To be able to change your job to Ninja you need to do a special quest Ayame and Kaede Quest Quest starts in Bastok Port. Talk to Ensetsu (I-5) and he sends you on a loop that goes from Kaede (daughter near Ensetsu - next room) to Kagetora (F-6, Warehouse I) and back to Ensetsu who will ask you for a favor. You need to bring him a strangely shaped coral from Korroloka Tunnel (Bastok Mines -> Zeruhn Mines -> Korroloka Tunnel). You need to get to position K-8 on the map where you will find "???". When you touch it, three named mobs - "Korroloka Leeches" will appear. They are very tough so bring a high lvl player to help you (2 x lvl30 + lvl 55 WHM will do). When you kill them - click the "???" again to receive a coral. Bring it back to Ensetsu - he will send you to Norg. Talk to Ryoma and get a katana from him. Go back to Ensetsu and talk to him. You can now become Ninja. 1.
