Scout

 is a role-playing subclass in Elder Tale. It is a military/exploration-type subclass derived from the Knight and Mercenary subclasses.

Overview
It is a military and exploration subclass specialized in scouting and battlefield inspection. Scouts have increased detection range, can detect ambushes, and can conduct reconnaissance missions. The mini-map Adventurers possess can be expanded to display covert enemies in vicinity and enemy information over long distances. Their abilities are extremely useful in dungeons, and the subclass is considered one of the best options for solo players.

Among the People of the Earth, there are relatively fewer scouts compared to the knights and mercenaries that make the majority of the military workforce (a dozen of them for a large knight group), but this role allows them to participate in military campaigns without seeing direct combat. Many Earthling Mercenaries and Hunters change jobs and work as subordinates for diverse organizations like a knight order, and it seems to be one of the elite jobs available to lower-classed commoners. The best ones learn etiquette and manners, and sometimes serve as messengers, military ambassadors or envoys.

This subclass requires leveling the Knight and Mercenary subclasses before the subclass quest is unlocked.
