What is the Warlock job?
Summoning +3
A job that fights with minions
The Summoning skill starts at +3 levels, and you get a tome that summons minions plus a scepter that boosts minion damage.
Two starting weapons
Tome of the Dark (summons bat minions) and Withered Scepter (enemies it hits take +40% damage from minions).
The difference is only at the start
A job only changes your starting skill and items. Characters with other jobs can switch to summoning later.
Warlock starting gear (Withered Scepter and Tome of the Dark)
| Item | Type | Stats (base) |
|---|---|---|
 Tome of the Dark | Tome (summoning) | Summons bat minions. Minion attack 30–36, firing a projectile about every 1.66 s. Reserves 25 mana per minion (15 from Lv.12). |
 Withered Scepter | Magic weapon (staff) | Magic damage 27–33. Curses enemies it hits for 8 s, making them take 40% more damage from minions (hitting again resets the timer). |
On top of that, the Summoning skill starts at +3 levels.
How to play a Warlock
- Summon minions with the tome: the bats shoot at nearby enemies (up to 8 tiles away). Minions stay until you dismiss them.
- Curse enemies with the scepter: cursed enemies take 40% more damage from minions, so your minions kill them faster.
- Do not run out of mana: minions reserve mana, which lowers the mana you can spend. Bring mana recovery.
Every minion attack gives Summoning XP (how to level skills).
What to do next as a Warlock (stronger tomes and gear)
- Switch tomes: stronger tomes appear as you progress. See best summoner gear for tomes ranked by damage per second of one minion.
- Increase your minion count: gear with max minions lets you summon more at once.
- All jobs: compare with the other jobs in the job list.
