Super Novice


Super Novice


Super Novice
A male and female Super Novice

A Super Novice is a character class that is able to utilize many different skills from the First Job Classes. Like its preceding counterpart, the Novice, it has relatively low HP/SP factor.

Super Novices have the ability to be built as melee fighters, but low HP makes it very impractical to do so. Most Super Novices are played as casters, having good spells and self buffs for dexterity improvement. Because of these buffs, the Super Novice is the only class that can reach Instant Cast (150 dexterity or higher) without the help of other classes.

Super Novices cannot be changed into another class. Its max job level is 99. Also, Super Novices can wear novice-only gear as well. A Super Novice cannot reborn once 99. Job Bonuses at max job level are 5-all. A Super Novice can equip level 4 weapons when Soul Linked but they must be at a level higher than 96. They can also wear any headgear (Top, Mid and Lower) while soul linked and the requirement is 90+. It will stay on when the Soul Link runs out until you relog, take it off, or you put on a different headgear.

Secrets


The Super Novice has many special characteristics that occur during gameplay:
  • A custom level-up angel appears to cast random Priest buffs.
  • Shaking head (/doridori) regenerates HP/SP faster. Works only with Increase HP Recovery & Increase SP Recovery.
  • If HP reaches 0 at 99% base exp, the Guardian Angel will appear to restore HP and cast Mental Strength on the Super Novice. Will not reoccur until relog.
  • At multiples of 10% base EXP, the Guardian Angel may be summoned to cast fury.
  • If you avoid a single death, you will get +10 all stats. Includes Novice deaths. Applies to Super Novices over job level 70, a single death will remove bonus.*

Note: *Super Novices who lost their +10 all stat bonus have a low chance of getting their death record wiped clean.

Soul Link


Soul link produces unique effects for the Super Novice.

  • Super Novices above base level 90 may equip all upper/middle/lower headgears, regardless of class restrictions.
  • Super Novices above job level 70 have the chance to recover the last 1% EXP lost on death penalty.*
  • Super Novices above level 96 will be able to equip all level 4 weapons that is not a bow or 2-handed sword, regardless of class restrictions.

Note: *Does not apply to Ragnarok Frontier. Death penalties are disabled.

Leveling Spots


Before job change:
It is highly recommended that you can begin with some str, dex, and vit or agi like a usual melee build.

Level 10-20: Spores, Muka
Level 20-30: Wolves
Level 30-45: Payon Caves 2 or 3

At base level 45, before job changing into a Super Novice, proceed first to Gonryun to reset your stats in order to save zeny.

After job change:
You are now a super novice. With only 1 vit, most monsters will be able to kill you in 1 hit, so be sure to play safe.

Level 45 - 60: Fire Bolt Soils in Louyang Field or Geographers in Einbroch Field.
Level 60 - 80: Lightning Bolt Siromas in Ice Cave 1
Level 80 - 99: Lightning Bolt mob Vanberks and Isillas in Rachel Sanctuary 1 or Lightning Bolt Ice Titan in Ice Cave 3 with a tank
Level 95 - 99: Bio Laboratory 3

Instant Cast Build


A popular Super Novice build is the instant cast build. Instant cast is reach when the SN achieves a dex of 150 or more.

There are now two ways of achieving 150 dex:

Level 10 Blessing: +10 dex

Super Novice Hat[1]: +1 dex
Soul Link: +10 all stats
Level 10 Improve Concentration: +15 dex

Total: 150 dex
