2-3 & 2-4 Jobs Rebalance

What is a 2-3/2-4 job?

Swordsman changes directly into Knight, Rune Knight, Crusader, or Royal Guard. Magician into Wizard, Warlock, Sage, or Sorcerer, and so on. This means that 3rd jobs on bRO are effectively 2nd jobs. We wanted to keep the integrity of the original trans classes in order to keep them playable.

What does ‘rebalance’ mean?

We rebalanced third jobs to fit a 500/120 pre-renewal server. The strength, and in some cases, the effect of every 3rd skill, is different from official RO. You will get to experience the gameplay of the classes as they perhaps would have been without renewal mechanics existing.

3rd jobs do not inherit 2nd job skills, except in a few cases. This means that Rune Knights do not have access to Spear Boomerang, Bowling Bash, etc.
