PLAYER GUIDE

Skill Balance Update

A full pass through every class's skills, rebalanced for our Pre-Renewal server. Organized by job tier and class, and updated as more adjustments are made.

How to read this page Each row shows the classic value struck through, next to the live value on our server. Damage percentages are the full skill ratio (100% means a normal hit). “x” means multiply. Where a cast time says “(0.5s fixed)”, that part of the cast cannot be reduced by stats, gear, or Poem of Bragi; everything else in the cast time can. Cooldowns are never reduced by Poem of Bragi either, only after-cast delays are. Use the search box or the jump list below to get to a specific skill fast.

Server-wide changes0 skills

Cast time formula

Applies to every skill with a cast time, not just what's listed below.

FormulaCastTime x (150 - DEX) / 150CastTime x (1 - sqrt((DEX x 2 + INT) / 360))

Instant cast threshold150 DEXDEX x 2 + INT >= 360

INT now speeds up casting for every class, not just casters. At 99 DEX and 99 INT the reducible part of a cast is cut by about 91% (the old formula gave 66% at 99 DEX), so mid-range and hybrid builds cast noticeably faster than before, not just a little. A pure DEX build reaches instant cast at 180 DEX instead of the old 150 - about 20% more investment - with INT offering a second way to close that last stretch instead of piling on DEX alone.

Fixed cast time

Many skills below now have a fixed part in their cast time. The total cast is the reducible part plus the fixed part. The fixed part is a hard floor: no amount of DEX, INT, gear, or Poem of Bragi shortens it. If a skill has no fixed part listed, its whole cast time can still drop to 0.

Reflected damage and "when attacking" effects

Fixed Nov 6, 2026. Melee physical damage that is reflected back to the attacker (High Orc Card, Reflect Shield, Valkyrie Shield and similar) now counts as an attack by the reflecting player, so "chance when attacking" item effects fire from it: for example the CD In Mouth buff or an autocast card can trigger when a hit is reflected. Before, reflected damage never rolled these effects.

Autocast (items, cards and Hindsight)

Damaging spells cast automatically by equipment and cards (on attack, when hit, or when using a skill) now share one cooldown per player. After one fires, no other damaging item or card autocast can fire until that spell's cast time (with your DEX/INT) plus its delay has passed. Healing, buff and defensive autocasts (Heal, Kyrie, Safety Wall, Teleport, Blessing and similar) are not affected.

Item / card damage autocastsNo shared limit, chains can fire back to backOne shared cooldown: cast time + delay of the spell that fired

Hindsight (Sage) chance7% to 25% (5 + Lv x 2)2% to 20% (Lv x 2)

Hindsight bolt levelHalf the skill level, then randomly lowered againAlways half the Hindsight level (Lv10 = Lv5)

Hindsight and the shared cooldown-Not affected: Hindsight keeps its own chance

Party songs and walls

Bard, Dancer and ensemble buff songs (Poem of Bragi, Assassin Cross of Sunset, Whistle, Apple of Idun, Humming, Fortune's Kiss, Service for You, Drum on the Battlefield, Ring of Nibelungen, Siegfried, Into the Abyss, Mr. Kim A Rich Man, Wand of Hermode) now reach party members in range even if a wall is between you, the same as Impositio Manus, Suffragium and Crazy Uproar. Enemy songs (Lullaby, Eternal Chaos, Loki's Veil, Dissonance, Ugly Dance, Don't Forget Me) still need a clear line, and on WoE and Battleground maps every song still needs a clear line.

Kept small on purpose since Increase AGI is easy to get for free (dual client, scroll). Doesn't stack with a stronger ASPD buff like Two-Hand Quicken, only your best one applies.

700% at Lv10 alone, 1000% with 150 STR. STR past 150 still helps normally, just not through this formula. Being ranged, it is not stopped by Parrying or Auto Guard, but Pneuma blocks it. Timing matched to Bowling Bash on 2026-09-30.

Weapon Perfection

Duration10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50s20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100s (Lv1–5)

Doubled: it was the shortest party buff in the class and cheap to recast (10 SP), so the only change is fewer recasts. The effect is unchanged. Hilt Binding still adds +10% duration, so Lv5 lasts 110s.

Water Ball

CooldownNone1.5s

Cast time (1.0s to 5.0s by level, fully reducible), damage (130% to 250% MATK per ball), and the water-tile requirement unchanged. Added so a hybrid DEX/INT build can't chain full-power casts back to back with no throttle at all.

RangeOne target, cannot target yourselfSelf + nearby party

Cast time reduction at Lv345%20%, halved to 10% when it's applied to yourself

No longer instant, and the cooldown turns it into a deliberate party tool instead of something to spam. You can now benefit from your own Suffragium, but at half strength - your party members remain the main beneficiaries.

Doubled so priests recast it less often in the middle of a fight. Lv5 now matches Impositio Manus (60s). SP cost (20), the 2s after-cast delay and the effect (+30 LUK to party members on screen) are unchanged.

HP cost to cast unchanged. The stacking fix means Grand Cross no longer quietly underperforms in exactly the crowded pulls it should be strongest against.

Shield Boomerang

Damage100% + 30% x Lv, plus a small flat bonus from shield refine and weight100% + 30% x Lv + 3% x refine + (weight / 2)%

Same level scaling as before, but the shield's refine and weight now scale the damage instead of adding a few flat points. 330% at Lv5 with a +10, 100-weight shield (was 250% plus about 50 flat).

Twilight Alchemy II / Twilight Alchemy III

Extra party member requiredA Super Novice (II) or a Taekwon (III) has to be in your partyRemoved

Quest-reward skills, not part of the normal skill tree - you still need to have been linked by a Soul Linker as an Alchemist to use either one at all, that part hasn't changed. What's gone is the extra requirement of also having a Super Novice or Taekwon standing by in your party just to cast it.

Twilight Alchemy IV (New)

A new Twilight Alchemy tier, joining I/II/III: mass-produces 200 Blue Potions per cast, using the real Blue Potion recipe (Blue Herb, Scell, Empty Potion Bottle) scaled up x200. Same 3-second cast (unaffected by DEX) and the same success-rate formula as Pharmacy.

Unlike II and III, this one isn't picked up automatically just from being Spirit-Linked - it's a permanent skill taught by a new quest NPC, Master Alchemist II (Alberta Alchemist Guild, alde_alche 33,177). You'll still need to be Spirit-Linked as an Alchemist to actually cast it once you've learned it, same requirement as the other Twilight Alchemy skills.

Bard and Dancer

Every song, dance, and ensemble that used to be a ground zone is now an instant buff or burst around the performer. The strength of every buff is unchanged from before: it still scales with the performer's stats and Musical Lesson or Dance Practice level exactly as it always did. What changed is how it is delivered, how much it costs, and how long it lasts.

Weapon weight scaling and STR bonus are untouched. Nov 6, 2026 rebalance from player feedback: Spiral Pierce now hits about 30% harder on monsters at Lv5 with a heavy spear (more with Aura Blade on), with a -10% check against players so it does not one-shot in PvP.

Still needs a Pushcart and Cart Boost. Zeny cost (600–1500z), stun chance, no cast time, and Parry/Reflect immunity are unchanged. With a typical card set (about x1.8) it reaches roughly 1800% ATK. Lv1 370%, Lv5 650%, Lv10 1000%.

Cart Boost

Duration60s120s

Doubled. It only gives movement speed (the same as Increase AGI, and the two don't stack), so a longer duration is safe. Adrenaline Rush, Over Thrust, Maximum Over Thrust, Melt Down and Crazy Uproar are unchanged.

SP cost / durationUnchangedUnchanged

Less of a flat wall, more of a sustain buff. The DEF part is deliberately soft DEF rather than armor DEF, since armor DEF on our server is percentage-based and a flat boost there would stack toward physical immunity.

Fixed Nov 6, 2026. The endless Provoke was being farmed: a duel partner stood in Gospel, kept the +32% ATK forever and went hunting. Allies' Gospel buffs are unchanged.

Shield weight/refine bonusNone+1% per point of shield weight + 4% per refine

All 5 hits deal full damage. Each hit starts from your Base ATK + shield weight + 4 x shield refine (not your weapon ATK), the target's DEF is applied first, then the % above, plus a small random shield bonus. Example: Lv5 with a +0 Strong Shield (weight 250) is 500% + 250% = 750% per hit. Shield weight is the number shown in game. Cast time and after-cast delay unchanged.
