| abstract | - When players reach level 30 in one of the six basic jobs, they may begin various quests to unlock the remaining advanced jobs. In "Blade of Darkness," the quest to unlock the Dark Knight, players receive the Chaosbringer, a weak level 1 great sword with a rather measly 3 Damage and a very slow 666 Delay (intended to invoke the Number of the Beast). Players are tasked to equip Chaosbringer and use it to fell 100 enemies, then to bring the blade by any means to Beadeaux. When players enter Beadeaux under these conditions, a cutscene will trigger at its entrance, and the Dark Knight job can be selected for leveling in one's Mog House. Players do not lose the Chaosbringer once the quest to unlock Dark Knight has ended. If they speak with the NPC Gumbah in Bastok Mines, he will ask that an additional 100 foes be slain with the sword, totaling 200 (the tally is cumulative; all 200 may be registered during the quest to unlock Dark Knight). After this, if players trade the Chaosbringer to the targetable pond "Standing Water" in the Gusgen Mines at (J-7), another scene occurs, and they are awarded the Deathbringer. Deathbringer is a level 5 great sword with a more modest 20 Damage, 480 Delay, and a bonus Attack +8. Because Deathbringer is not an exclusive item, and is quickly replaced by higher level great swords, many players opt to simply purchase it from the Auction House and forgo this second portion of the quest altogether.
