What are fourth classes?
Fourth classes are the last step of the primary class lines in Renewal (the current iRO). After a third class reaches base level 200 and job level 70, it can change into its fourth class and keep leveling past 200 up to the current cap of base level 260 and job level 55. As before, there is no choice: each third class leads to one fourth class, and the performer line depends on gender.
| Third class | Fourth class |
|---|---|
| Rune Knight | Dragon Knight |
| Royal Guard | Imperial Guard |
| Warlock | Arch Mage |
| Sorcerer | Elemental Master |
| Mechanic | Meister |
| Geneticist | Biolo |
| Arch Bishop | Cardinal |
| Sura | Inquisitor |
| Guillotine Cross | Shadow Cross |
| Shadow Chaser | Abyss Chaser |
| Ranger | Windhawk |
| Maestro (male) | Troubadour |
| Wanderer (female) | Trouvere |
Talent (Trait) stats
Fourth classes brought six new stats. Unlike the normal Stats, each point always costs just 1 Talent point, however high the stat already is, and each Talent stat is capped at 100. A new fourth class starts with 7 Talent points and gains 3 more every level past 200, plus 4 extra every 5 levels. At level 250 that adds up to 197 points. Some fourth class skills also scale with these stats; see Traits and Talent Points.
| Stat | Main effect |
|---|---|
| POW (Power) | +5 status ATK per point; +1 P.ATK every 3 points. |
| STA (Stamina) | +1 RES per point, +5 more every 3 points. |
| WIS (Wisdom) | +1 MRES per point, +5 more every 3 points. |
| SPL (Spell) | +5 status MATK per point; +1 S.MATK every 3 points. |
| CON (Concentration) | +2 HIT and +2 FLEE per point; +1 P.ATK and +1 S.MATK every 5 points. |
| CRT (Creative) | +1 H.PLUS per point; +1 C.RATE every 3 points; better success for fourth class crafting skills. |
Example: Dragon Knight
The Dragon Knight (often DK) is the last form of the Knight line, after the Rune Knight. It trades its young dragon for a grown one, keeps the highest HP pool of all classes, and fights with two-handed sword skills, improved spear and dragon skills, and new Servant Weapon skills that summon living weapons to fight beside it.
- Job change: two maps west of Geffen, talk to Oscar and pass three trials (Protector, Strength and Patience). It is one of the hardest job change quests and takes about 10-15 minutes.
- 12 skills worth 90 skill points; job level cap 55.
- Talent bonuses: POW +8, STA +5, WIS +3, SPL +5, CON +6, CRT +6.
