Overview

Everybody loves the Gypsy's dancing, especially her enemies. It's the last thing they see before they go to their graves with a smile on their lips and an arrow through their hearts. The Gypsy is so alluring that hundreds of acts of heroism (and foolishness) have been performed in her name. With more lithe and agile bodies granted by the gods, Gypsies are hard to resist especially when one begins her dance. Not a single drop of sweat can be seen. Every dance and movement seemingly effortless. Graceful dance is her specialty, dancing gracefully to lure the monster to its death with the newly acquired Arrow Vulcan and Tarot Card of Fate skills.

3.The Book of Ymir (yuno_in02 94,206) will teleport you to Valhalla.	4.Find and talk to a job NPC suited to your 2nd class.

Builds

PvM/WoE

• STR: 1
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 80-100 (final)
• INT: 2x-5x (final)
• DEX: 99 (base)
• LUK: 1

The staple Gypsy build for people who like to mix PvM and WoE. This build takes high DEX to capitalize on the skill Arrow Vulcan, and high VIT for survivability and status resistance. Remaining points go in INT to boost their SP pool and regen. The high natural DEX of Gypsies gives this build easy access to instant cast.

Full Support

• STR: 50+ (base)
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 90-100 (final)
• INT: 60-90 (final)
• DEX: 1-4 (base)
• LUK: 1

This build focuses on high survivability at the cost of being a pure leech or Party character. High VIT for (nearly) Stun immunity, high INT for excellent SP, plus great SP Song effectiveness. Keep in mind that INT also increases your recovery rate from SP restoring items. STR for a higher weight limit to carry lots of potions during Sieges. You may want to increase DEX for a more effective Slow Grace, but don't go for more than 4 base DEX, which adds a cheap Slow Grace bonus. Cast time of Tarot Card of Fate is poor and you might get interrupted, but you should be in a Bard's Magic Strings if you plan to use it.

There are about 20 skill points left to play around with since you won't get Arrow Vulcan due to your low DEX and Slinging Arrow is a less time-robbing skill to inflict statuses on your enemies. Instead you can get more ensembles or you might want more solo songs.

Marionette Control Slave

• STR: 1
• AGI: 1
• VIT: 1x-3x
• INT: 1x-5x
• DEX: 8x-9x
• LUK: 8x-9x

This build's main purpose is to use Marionette Control on Blacksmiths, Alchemists, and Assassin Crosses to maximize their success rates. It may also be set-up to serve as a Gypsy's Kiss and/or Mental Sensing slave. Since the build has DEX, it is possible for it to level itself, especially if it is partied with a Priest class. While it can be used in WoE, it lacks the higher VIT that is generally preferred.

Being a slave build, this build is not recommended as a main character.

Pure WoE

• STR: 1
• AGI: 9x (base)
• VIT: 90-100 (final)
• INT: 1
• DEX: x (remaining points)
• LUK: 1

Similar to the Full Support build, this build is about maximum survivability and is also incapable of leveling itself. While the VIT is the same, the build drops INT since it won't be using Gypsy's Kiss much, and drops the STR due to the availability of Increase Weight Limit tickets in the Kafra Shop. Instead this build favors high AGI in order to reduce the ASPD delay of Dazzler when in a strong Magic Strings, reduce movement speed more via Slow Grace, and potentially flee melee attackers. Leftover points go into DEX in order to somewhat relieve the build's poor cast times.

AGI PvM

• STR: 1
• AGI: 7x-9x
• VIT: 1x-5x
• INT: 2x-5x
• DEX: 99 (base)
• LUK: 1

This build sacrifices the VIT-based survivability that the other builds use in favor of AGI and Flee. DEX is maxed for Arrow Vulcan, while INT is used for SP. Depending on personal preference, builds can have higher AGI or put some points in VIT. The investment in AGI, combined with Arrow Vulcan's burst damage, gives this build the ability to solo mid-level monsters with little trouble, but doesn't help much in high-level dungeons. In party situations the build is similar to others, but lacks their survivability. (With the possible exception of Nameless Island, the only endgame dungeon where Flee is viable.) In WoE, this build performs poorly due to its low HP and status resistance. Perhaps its only redeeming factor is to Slow Grace enemies entering a Classical Pluck.

In terms of skills, AGI Gypsies use skill sets similar to their PvM/WoE cousins. Arrow Vulcan is the staple for leveling, Dazzler, Slow Grace, and Tarot Card of Fate for WoE. Slinging Arrow can be effective if used properly, due to the build's high DEX and AGI. Classical Pluck can be used but is better left to the VIT builds. Remaining skill points can be distributed depending on personal preference and what the character will be used for.

This build is rarely used due to the Dancer class' focus on being a WoE support character. While it could potentially be called a pure Slow Grace build, the difference isn't significant enough to justify the downsides in PvP/WoE.
