What MapleRoot changed
- New attacks: custom 4th-job skills for every explorer 4th job (the Bishop gets the passive Buff Master), for example Rising Rage (Hero) and La Mancha Spear (Dark Knight).
- Removed: all boosters, Steal, Big Bang, Heaven's Hammer, Slow, Taunt, Ninja Ambush, Assassinate, Barrage, Snatch, Demolition, Transformation and a few others; the warriors' axe, blunt and pole-arm lines. Warriors are sword or spear only.
- Same skill slot, new skill: Brandish → Raging Blow, Seal/Doom → Fire Rush, and others.
The 4th-job skill package
The 4th job skills NPC in Base of Roots teaches every 4th-job skill that normally needs a quest or a skill book, for 10,000,000 mesos (100,000,000 for a Beginner).
The 5th tier
- Reach your 4th job and rebirth three times.
- Get a World's Engine: the quest "Magnus the Tyrant!" (level 200, after the quest before it) — defeat Magnus, then turn it in to Wyatt the Reborn.
- Talk to the Job Master. The World's Engine is used up and you learn your tier's four skills.
