Super Novice and Hyper Novice

The Super Novice learns almost every first-class skill but stays as fragile as a Novice; it expands to 200/70 and finally becomes the Hyper Novice.

The Super Novice

The Super Novice is a special expanded class that can learn nearly every first-class skill, physical or magical, offensive or supportive, which makes it the most flexible class in the game. The price is very low HP and SP, just like a Novice, and it also loses Play Dead. It can only use Novice equipment and gear marked for all jobs, but its Job Level goes up to 99 instead of 50 or 70.

To change, a Novice at Base Level 45 and Job Level 10 goes to the windmill in the southwest of Al De Baran and talks to Tzerero in the room on the left, bringing 30 Resin and 30 Sticky Mucus. The reward is a Pantie. Super Novices can also rent their own pushcart from a Kafra employee behind the Kafra headquarters in the northwest of Al De Baran.

Super Novice secrets

iRO Wiki lists several hidden perks that set the class apart:

  • Guardian Angel: on every level up it casts Kyrie Eleison, Magnificat, Gloria, Suffragium and Impositio Manus on the Super Novice.
  • Never give up: when HP hits 0 at 99.0–99.9% Base experience, the angel may refill HP and cast Mental Strength (once per login or level).
  • No deaths from Job Level 70 on gives +10 to every stat; the bonus is lost on death, and a Soul Linker's Super Novice Spirit can clear the death record.
  • Fury: at each 10% step of Base experience, typing the Super Novice chant to the guardian angel grants +50 CRIT.
  • Reaching Base Level 99 gives a permanent +2000 Max HP.

Expanded Super Novice

At Base 99 / Job 99 the Job Expansion Quest turns a Super Novice into an Expanded Super Novice. It keeps the same look and is still called Super Novice in game, but its caps rise to 200/70, stats can go up to 120 like Third Classes, and many second-class skills appear in a new skill tab. It also uses the same experience charts as third classes.

  • Talk to Esseray in the same Al De Baran windmill.
  • Find Nodor on the pier in the northern Comodo dungeon and hunt 1000 Poring, Lunatic, Fabre or Picky.
  • Visit his brother Nudor on the Schwarzwald domestic airship and donate at least 100,000 zeny (the amount may change the gear reward).
  • Return to Nodor: your Job Level resets to 1 while Base Level stays at 99, and you receive a Novice Breastplate [1] or an Undershirt.

The expansion also unlocks three skills unique to the class: Breakthrough (more Max HP, Max SP, ATK and healing received), Transcendence (more Max HP, Max SP, MATK and healing received) and Help, Angel! (restores HP and SP to you and your party within 15×15 cells).

Hyper Novice

At 200/70 an Expanded Super Novice can change into the Hyper Novice in Al De Baran, the line's last class with a cap of 260/55. Like other fourth-tier jobs it gets talent bonuses, and its own skills are split into physical and magical sets:
