Novi Updates Come Renewal And Beyond

As the topic says, a complication of what we know for the future of Novices in Ragnarok.

* Super Novice Trans Class?!? Will Super Novices be able to break the level 100 barrier?
Not necessarily a trans, but a specialization system.
Here's what was stated:

Super Novice will have a higher level cap, and a special system that allows them to learn specific 2nd job skills.

I speculated about this years ago, but we have to wait and see exactly which 2nd class skills they allow us access to. It will have to be a combination of melee skills and magic to tailor to both Novice builds.

* The New Magic Damage Formula
Instead of going by a percent as before, each equipment will provide a base magic attack as shown below:

Rod[4]: matk +30
Wand[3]: matk +45, int +1
Staff[3]: matk +70, int +2
Arc Wand[2]: matk +95, int +3
Mighty Staff: matk +100, str +10
Wand of Occult: matk +105, int +3
Bone Wand: matk +110, int +4
Staff of Wing: matk +115
Survivor Staff[1]: matk +120, dex or int +3, hp +400
Hypnotist Staff[2]: matk +120, int +1
Lich's Bone Wand[2]: matk +170, int +1, dex + 1, trans only
Recovery Staff: matk +105
Staff of Piercing: matk +145, int +4, trans only
Gentleman Staff[1]: matk +125, dex +1
Release of Wish: matk +125, int +3
Holy Stick[1]: matk +140
Withered Branch Staff: matk +155
Thorn Staff of Darkness: matk +160, int +3, dex+3, Trans Only
Eraser: matk + 170, Int +3, Dex +2, SP Recovery + 8%
Croce Staff: matk +175
Staff of Soul: matk +200, int+5, agi +2, Two Hands
Wizardry Staff: matk +200, int+6, dex +2, Two Hands
Divine Cross: matk +210, dex +4, Two Hands
Golden Lord Staff [2]: matk +230 Int +3, Two Hands, Warlock Only
Crimson Staff [2]: matk +230, Int +3, Two Hands, Warlock Only, Increases Fire Bolt and Fire Ball attack power by 10%
Forest Staff [2]: matk +230 Int +3, Two Hands, Warlock Only
Aqua Staff [2]: matk +230 Int +3, Two Hands, Warlock Only, Increases Cold Bolt and Frost Diver attack power by 12%
Chronos : matk + 240, int +3 Two Hands, Trans Only
Staff of Destruction[1]: matk +280, int+3, agi +10, Two Hands, Trans Only

Note that Super Novices can equip one-handed Level 4 staffs with Soul Link. So the strongest one-handed staff available is either Croce Staff or Eraser for more Int, SP recovery, and chance to drain SP from enemies.

I don't know how much matk the Battlegrounds weapons provide. Can anyone fill me in? (Old formula: Glorious Rapier/Holy Avenger were Int +6, matk +10%; Glorious Arc Wand/Healing Staff matk +15%). Thanks Prod


Melees should stick to Battlegrounds weapons although this might tickle your fancy, requires Soul Link of course to equip

Sonic cart revo anyone?

I still don't get how that works.

I still don't get how that works.

I'm guessing they're supposed to look like they're riding in the backpack... But it just looks awkward to me

But... they don't have shoulders. O_o How does the backpack stay on?

Plus, all that bouncing can't be good for your legs.

Oh god, that looks wrong in some ways .. not something to be looked at after getting up.
It looks fun, but the constant bouncing would hurt the eyes, especially if the character isn't moving for a while.

Because this thread has to deal with Novice class characters, I wanted to ask a question on here instead of making a new thread. It's about the ability to wear any headgear when soul linked as a Super Novice.

"Super Novices above Base Lv. 90 will temporarily be able to equip ALL upper/middle/lower headgears."

I haven't tested it yet, but has anyone tried to see if we can wear the 3rd class headgears? It says the requirement to wear them is Lvl 100, so I assumed we couldn't. I also know that the 3rd class headgears are account bound. I wanted to know before creating "dummmy" 3rd classes just for the 3rd class headgears.

Here is how some of the 3rd class headgears would look like on my Super Novice.

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

I'm also looking forward to the 2nd job class skills and mounts overall, but I'll be a little sad since my Lvl 3 Meteor Storm, Lvl 1 Cast Cancel, Lvl 5 Frost Joke, and Lvl 1 Sense skills won't seem as unusual to have as a Super Novice. (Enable Use of...through cards/equipments)

Still...

I made this to show how my Novice, meant Super Novice, would look with a mount and a cart.

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

Oh I also can't wait for these back mounts for Novices and other classes.

.

I need to stop making posts when I first wake up

I don't think the 3rd class hats are ever going to be un-character bound, so I doubt that will happen. I know almost every headgear I've encountered that says "Except Novice", I can still wear...

Also, can't wait for backpacks, YAY! Mounts I don't care much about since they aren't real mounts, just for AGI

If I'm not mistaken, the 3rd class hats are only account bound, not character bound. I tested it back when iRO Yggdrasil was testing Renewal and after talking to a friend on iRO Valkyrie who has a Guillotine Cross, I can confidently say it's still account bound, not character bound.

They must have changed it since I first went 3rd, I could have sworn they were character bound at one point. I also just tested it and you are correct. Oh well! All my 3rds are on the same account as my Novices What luck!

Spiffy! You just need to level up your Super Novice some more, so we can test if you can equip the headgears at Lvl 90+ or will we have to wait until we get the update that hinatasou was talking about.

Will do! *Grind* *Grind* *Grind*

/omg

Supernovice with homoculus would be nice.
