I did not see any recent topics on the Warp Portal Forums talking about the Super Novice Expansion update. I decided to start a thread to briefly chat specifically about the new skills that Super Novices will have access to when the new update from kRO is implemented into iRO.

Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Ki, better known as Cat on iRO. I play as a Novice/Super Novice/High Novice as my main character and have played iRO since 2004 when the Juno Patch was implemented.

As some of you may know, Super Novices will be able to do a quest, if they are Base Level 99 and Job Level 99, that allows them to go to Base Level 150 and Job Level 50 and get access to new skills. They will have an additional 49 skill points to spend on these new skills. Here is the list of the 29 different skills Super Novices will be able to learn in the future patch from kRO.

Spoiler

Crusader Skills

• Faith
  
• Holy Cross

Priest Skills

• Sanctuary
  
• Status Recovery
  
• Impositio Manus
  
• Gloria

Monk Skills

• Iron Fists
  
• Summon Spirit Sphere
  
• Spiritual Sphere Absorption

Hunter Skills

• Skid Trap
  
• Flasher
  
• Sandman
  
• Freezing Trap

Blacksmith Skills

• Hilt Binding
  
• Weaponry Research

Alchemist Skills

• Axe Mastery

Rogue Skills

• Stalk

Wizard Skills

• Quagmire
  
• Ice Wall
  
• Frost Nova
  
• Sightrasher
  
• Jupitel Thunder
  
• Fire Pillar
  
• Water Ball

Sage/Wizard Skills

• Earth Spike
  
• Heaven's Drive
  
• Sense

Assassin Skills

• Enchant Poison

High Wizard Skills

• Stave Crasher

After seeing the list, I'm a bit disappointed, but still excited about the update. I feel that we got jipped on quite a few skills and didn't expect so many skills to be inaccessible to Super Novices. I assumed we wouldn't get skills that involved instruments, katars, or two-handed swords, but most of the top tier skills like Guillotine Fist, Snow Gust, or just Intimidate would have been great. Even Ankle Snare would have been nice for the magic-user Super Novice who don't have instant casting anymore.

I think Super Novices will have to be more creative and resourceful in the combination of skills they get.

On the brighside, it looks like my Meteor Storm (Twin Edge of Naght Sieger[3]) and Turn Undead (Grand Cross[1]) skill will be more unique than I orginally thought...

Nyao~!

Do want Mental Strength!!!

[Fibrizzo]

Magnificat... It should be awesome for a magic super novice

[WanderingCat]

That would be nice to have a hard cast version of Mental Strength, but at least we'll still have our "special" Mental Strength.

Are Super Novices getting any 2-handed spears? That would make Holy Cross sooo much better.

Still no Bowling Bash.

Best skill on there is obviously Iron Fists.

"Storm Gust would have been great." You never tried casting it post-renewal, did you? It takes like a day and a half to cast.

man u must have alota dex...it takes 3 and half day for me =\

[Skyven]

God, i need to get around to leveling my supernovie to 99 then...ahh the caster's life is so hard

[IronFist]

well since SN can have a cart, Cart Boost and High Speed Cart Ramming SN would be cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, but if we are limited to 2nd class skills then weapon perfection maximize and power-thrust would be good

faith is always good, always need more hp as sn

Sera cast with AB's secrament...

[Sera]

I know that, but it still has an unnecessarily long cast time and isn't even really a good skill.

Also HSCR is a trans skill.

[iiNote]

So... they will still look the same... (lame)
And they won't have at least trascendant skills? LOL
Guess they won't be WoEing any time soon... Cause when the 4th classes come out.. or the trascendent of the third (holy crap going back to lvl 1 and level with double exp shart to 150 LMAO) the new-er super novice will get the trascendent skills... and so on... and so forth xD

I bet in a few years they'll come out... I mean.. I never dreamed that a third class would come out.. and guess what... It did. xD

Super Novices won't be able to wield 2-Handed Spears unfortunately (I wonder what the animation would look like).

----------------------

Personally, I'm a melee build. I will probably get most of the passive skils and maybe a few active skills like Summon Spirit Sphere, Gloria, or Stalk.

[Sera]

Too bad Stave Crasher sucks ass.

[kati3]

Bleh!! Disappointment for us SN's.
