Rebirth and Transcendent Classes

When a primary second class (such as Assassin or Hunter) reaches base level 99 and job level 50, it can go to Juno to be reborn. This is called Transcendence. The character loses all its stats and skills, becomes a level 1/1 High Novice and is sent to the town of its first class. From there it climbs again, but stronger, and ends as the transcended version of its old second class.

High Novices and High First Classes work like the normal ones, with these extras:

• A permanent +25% to max HP and SP.
• 100 status points to start with instead of a normal Novice's 48, plus +1 to every stat given step by step over the High Novice's job levels.
• Access to equipment marked "Transcendent only".
• The Novice quest skills First Aid and Play Dead are learned automatically, and the first class quest skills come automatically with the High First Class.
• A different sprite color, and a job level cap of 70 for the Transcendent second class instead of 50.

• At job level 10 the High Novice changes into the High First Class that matches its original first class (for example High Archer).
• At job level 50 as a High First Class, return to the Book of Ymir to become the Transcendent second class that matches your old second class. It keeps all its old skills and gains extra ones.
• From the Transcendent class, at 99/70 you can move on to the third class (base level no longer resets), and later at 200/70 to the fourth class, up to the cap of 260/55.

Example: the Lord Knight gets the most new skills of all Transcendent classes, including Parry for Crusader-like tanking and Berserk for huge damage, on top of the +25% HP.
