Job inheritance and advancement paths

A player-first map of what a job brings forward and which bonuses unlock when the class advances.

By RO Codex Team Updated
Follow the advancement chain

Each job page shows its predecessor and advancement path. Skills learned in earlier tiers remain part of the build even when the current job page lists a new direct tree. Independent and hero classes can follow a separate origin path, so they should not be forced into a normal linear lineage.

Separate direct and inherited skills

Direct skills belong to the selected job. Inherited skills come from earlier tiers. Adventure skills are account-wide unlocks and are shown separately so they are not mistaken for free class skills. Repeated listings of the same skill family do not grant extra copies.

  • Budget points across every required tier.
  • Check maximum Job Level and skill-point limits.
  • Confirm weapon compatibility before planning a rotation.
  • Treat account-wide unlocks as progression requirements, not base job features.
Read unlock stats as progression rewards

Initial stats, stat scaling, and unlock attributes describe different moments in progression. An unlock reward does not necessarily apply before the required advancement or Job Level. Keep its condition attached when comparing a newly changed class with a completed one.

Worked checkpoint
When a fourth-job skill depends on a third-job prerequisite, include both costs. Compare the completed path against an equal-point alternative rather than comparing only the final skill levels.
Validate the equipment plan

The job’s published equipment restrictions identify which weapons it can actually use. A theoretical damage bonus has no value if the planned weapon cannot be equipped by the selected class.
