Class names are as follows. To avoid confusion, I’m using the Korean class names.
Rune Knight (Changes from Knight, Lord Knight) Warlock (Changes from Wizard, High Wizard) Ranger (Changes from Hunter, Sniper) Arc Bishop (Changes from Priest, High Priest) Guillotine Cross (Changes from Assassin, Assassin Cross) Mechanic (Changes from Black Smith, White Smith) Royal Guard (Changes from Crusader, Paladin) Shura (Changes from Monk, Champion) Sorcerer (Changes from Sage, Professor) Dark Chaser (Changes from Rogue, Chaser) Generic (Changes from Alchemist, Creator) Minstrel (Changes from Bard, Clown) Wanderer (Changes from Dancer, Gypsy)
You must be level 99 in order to change into third class. You can change as either 99 base class, or 99 trans class. The primary advantage of going transcendent before becoming third class is that you of course have access to the advanced skills that trans classes offer.
“Shura” refers to the characters in the monk/champion’s strongest skill, Ashura Haouken (Guillotine Fist on iRO). Shura means fighting or carnage on the battlefield.
And yes, the 3rd class for bard on kRO is minstrel, the name they gave 2nd class on iRO.
Generic? Wtf All that crap sounds so fake...But its doddler...Bah

Wow! We was waiting so long for this news ;D. Now the question from all administrator is: When the 3RD Class will add to eAthena?!
I think it will take a long long long time ~

Well, I suppose this is good news. It's great to hear about news like such since it's been anticipated for ages. Unfortunately for me who got tired of playing RO, bumming around in eA and hearing about updates is a pretty amusing past time.

Wanderer is such a stupid name. Dancer? Gypsy? Those sound like girls. Wanderer? Kinda sounds manly....and not even because of the mob.
I am disappointed they made it so you can go third class after both 2nd class and trans classes. I was hoping it would simply be an alternative to advanced classes (maybe a more balanced one? I doubt it....). Unfortunately those third classes are going to be ultra powerful. Besides the fact that you get advanced class skills from going trans then 3rd...even if you go third class after normal classes you're going to be stronger than even the trans classes without doing as much work.
Gah it's going to be SO unbalanced. But it will be nice to have new sprites to work with somehow ;p
Wonder what they will do on iRO for Minstrel...

The same happened with the Gunslinger and Ninja, i mean Gravity don't know how to balance the new with the Old.
Well i want to see the Skills for the Mechanic x3, maybe someday RO use the idea of the "cars" from ROSE

Wow...some of those names sound so weird. Royal Guard....I think it sound much less of a class then Paladin. Dark Chaser....chaser? can't they pick a better name....Generic....it doesn't sound so related to Alchemist/Creators. Minstrel...nooooo why minstrel...they should use another name since clown is such an undignified name for the class. Wanderer is so unrelated as well.
I agree that they should just make it change after the trans. It is more standard that way.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm more concerned with how each class will play, names are unimportant.

Please note this information is from JRO not KRO and there is alot of room for changes.
The Following Details have not been even implmented in Korea so there might be changes possible, please be advised.
Also, the GM Team, will be asking for suggestions to implement our own planned changes to be able to fit a Japanese environment. (jRO's own environment)
***** I don't know why Doddler forgot to post that specific note, its pretty important that you guys know about this Just as a note. Don't expect to take everything posted atm to be 100% of what it will be
ESPECIALLY don't be like OH good I'll trans my 99 rite now and have a possibility later to comfirm that Trans can't go 3rd class and be like WTF, cause theres the warning now that I posted

I figure its pretty obvious that content listed in press releases might not end up exactly as stated in game, even if the announcement was made by gravity Korea.
so don't hold your breath about rebirth classes become 3rd gen classes just yet.

You be quiet, and the Trans form of Rogue is actually Stalker so don't think wrong.
Generic is a Noun. A wine that is a blend of several varieties of grapes with no one grape predominating; a wine that does not carry the name of any specific grape OR Any product that can be sold without a brand name. Well dont Creators mess around with Chemicals and stuff? Royal Guards alright. Minstrels ok.
And yeah sorry bout the late/dead post.

I know in my server we changed the class names, I'd do it again for the 3rd classes, but in my opinion there's enough classes already.

I'd have to agree with you there, they should do more for the expanded classes, not push them further behind. Also does anyone think they gave up on Death Knight and Soul Collector? Seems kind of odd that they'll announce 3rd classes but say nothing about those 2 classes that have been in the GRF for how long now?

*smacks forehead* So obvious. It's not Generic. It's GeneTic. Though it's supposed to be Geneticist of course.
And the others...
//Arc Bishop (Changes from Priest, High Priest) Obviously Arch Bishop.
//Dark Chaser (Changes from Rogue, Chaser) Note the "Changes from(...)Chaser" - it's not supposed to be Chaser but Stalker. So it's Dark Stalker.
//Wanderer (Changes from Dancer, Gypsy) Nothing really wrong with this one, but I'm pretty sure the word for Wanderer has about one hundred other meanings in japanese so it can be just about whatever.
I'm sure they'll get it right in iRO.

They say that Ninja expands/changes into "Samurai", which they are going to release after 3-1 and 3-2 classes futhermore with an inclusion of 2 more extensions that Novice can change into Death Lord and Dark Knight.
So we have to wait untill next year for Ninja to expand/change.
By-the-by, they say gunslinger class has a proposition of advancement and they are still thinking on that.
Last note:- These are a proposed ideas By Kro/Gravity team, but not brought into front/public release has not been made yet. So it might not be available elsewhere.
Koki
Mar 23 2008, 12:40 PM
Interesting. Death Knight and Dark Collector(Death Lord?) are already in the database, so I think we're pretty sure to get these at least. Are these two new classes or one is extension of the other?

For the Japanese 2008 user Symposium, Gungho (the managers of jRO) asked gravity if they could provide the current working designs for the new 3rd classes. To their surprise, they agreed and they were able to display the new sprites. Note that these sprites are not final, and are currently still in design.
No this is it ! There are the real 3rd Classes ! Yeah, they look very beautiful !
