This guide is all about the Assassin skill Grimtooth. It is a powerful weapon in PvM for both, leveling and farming items and zeny.

A) Taking a closer look at “Grim”

Grimtooth has a lot of unique features, especially for the Assassin class. On lv 5 Grim deals 200% Atk at 6 cells range, with a 3×3 splash effect. It is the only non-poison skill a Sin can deal splash damage with, until rebirth. Most important, besides the splash damage, is the fact that you have to hide to use it. While hidden, the enemies will not see you or attack you. Grimtooth carries your weapon’s element and any status of status arrows you equipped, once you finished the “Throw Venom Knife” quest. This means we can stun, curse or blind the mob we are attacking.

B) Stats/Skills

This is an easy part for Grimtoothers. Put Str, Agi and Dex, leave the rest at 1 (some people might want to add a little bit of Int, but if your server provides SP healing items, you won’t need it).

Enough Dex to hit: A total of 60-70 will be enough.

Enough Agi foor ASPD: An ASPD of 176-178 will b

e enough.

Enough Str to kill: All the remaining points should go here… Try to reach at least 100.

The Skills is even easier. Put 10 Skill points into hiding as a Thief, then as Assassin, get Grim to 5 as soon as possible.

C) How to mob and kill

Mobbing is a thing one needs a lot of practice for. Basically you run from aggressive monsters fast enough so they can’t hit you, but not too fast, so they still follow you. That way you gather a mob of monsters. Then you hide and use grimtooth to kill them. In images:

D) Tipps and Tricks

1. Use two Fortune Swords. They add a total of 41 lucky dodge to your flee. Lucky dodge is great, because it is not reduced by the number of enemies attacking you. Wear them while you gather the monsters and switch to the katar you use to kill when you’re hidden. The feature /q2 makes the Hotkeys F7 and F8 available on the mouse wheel down and up respectively. Putting the Katar on one and the Fortune swords on the other makes switching a matter of less than a second.
2. Stand a tiny bit before hiding. When you stand still for an instant before you hide, the monsters will be aggroed on the cell you hid on and come together right next to it. That way you’ll hit all the monsters with every grimtooth.
3. Get a Smokie, if your server has pet skills. A Smokie with its equip will allow you to hide from demons and insects, opening up a great range of new spots to go!

E) Equips

Important Equips are:

• A set of Elemental Katars (fire, earth, wind and water)
• Two Fortune Swords
• Fitting Jurs depending on the spot you level at

This being a short list shows, that the grimtooth assassin is not very gear dependant. Of course there are higher-level gears that will help a lot:

• Immune Garment
• Matyr Shoes (or other shoes that increase your hp)
• Evil Druid Armor / Bathory Armor

The last armors are required for soloing Nameless.

F) Spots to go

I’ll comment every spot with required (r), recommended (c) equips and a level range (Sin / SinX):

• Sandman (Fire Katar (c), lvl 60/60)
• Hill Winds (Earth Katar (c), lv 80/70)
• Turtle Island Surface (Dragontails) (Smokie (r), Earth Katar (c), lv 80/80)
• Payon Field 11 (Dragontails, Ninetails) (Smokie (r), lv 80/80)
• Juperos Dungeon 1 (Anti-Formless Jur (c), lv 90/85)
• Anolians (Wind Katar (c), lv 85/80)
• Banshees (Evil Druid/Bathory armor (r), Smokie (r), Inverse Scare (c), Stun arrows (c), (lv 95/85)
• Ferus (Anti-Dragon Jur (c), lv 95/90)
