Super Novice is a special class that can use a variety of skills from all 1st and 2nd job classes. In line with the Super Novice's characteristics, the "acquisition requirements" for skills will be set lower than for other classes, allowing use of various skills. This is a feature unique to Super Novice and will not affect other classes. Super Novice's exclusive special skills (Break Through, Help Angel, Transcendence) and 5 additional skills (Cart Boost, Mace Mastery, Axe Mastery, Earth Spike, Dodge) will be added.
