Thread: C4 Patch notes - OMG GLOR!!

1. Regions

1.1 New Areas

'Godad' and 'Rune' have been added north of Aden area. The new areas contain Godad Castle town, Rune Castle town and Godad Castle. Godad and Rune hunting areas will feature high-level monsters with unique AI, enabling a refreshing hunting experience.


1.2 New Hunting Grounds

1.2.1 Barka Silenos Station (Godad area)
The Silenos Station is situated south of Godad, west of Godad Castle town. The location is home to Baruka Silenos, which are the stronges of the Silenos race.
The player is able to choose sides between Baruka Silenos or the Ketra Orcs.
To gain favour with the Ketra Orcs the player must hunt in the Barka Silenos Station. On the other hand, to gain favour with the Silenos the player must hunt in the Ketra Orc Outpost .
Once the player has gained enough favour s/he's gains benefits such as access to the town's shops and warehouse.
Forming friendship with the Silenos proceeds through a quest.

1.2.2 Ketra Orc Outpost (Godad area)
Located north of Godad Castle town, Ketra Orc Outpost is home to the Ketra, the most dangerous and competetive of the orcs.
Players sided with the Baruka Silenos can hunt here to gain their friendship.
Once the player has gained enough favour s/he's gains benefits such as access to the town's shops and warehouse.
Forming friendship with the Ketra Orcs proceeds through a quest.

1.2.3 Wall of Argos (Godad area)
This is the wall behind which Argos, the giant with a hundred eyes, is said to be trapped after angering Einhasad. Located east of Godad castle town, the area is an open-type dungeon shaped with maze-like cliffs similarly to Enchanted Valley. The road to 'Tomb of Kings' (dungeon) passes through here as well.

1.2.4 Imperial Graveyard (Godad area)
Tomb of kings is a secret burying gRuned of Elmore and Aden royalty, found in east Godad area. The entrance is accessed through 'Wall of Argos'.
This dungeon is proceeded through unlike others. Certain parts of the dungeon are accessible only as a party, and are hunted by proceeding along the area room after room.

1.2.5 Hot Springs (Godad Area)
Found in the northern part of Godad, the Hot Springs owe its higher temperature to the nearby 'Brazier of Gods'.
Many animals venture here to rest among its warm waters.
The monsters in this area cast unique debuffs that at first appear to be beneficial but turn harmful over time. These diseases can be cured by water sprouting in Hot Springs.

1.2.6 Brazier of Gods (Godad Area)
The Brazier is located in the northeast part of Godad.
The Path of Fire, the only entrance to the Lair of Valkalas, is found here. In addition, items useful in raiding Valkalas can be obtained from hunting monsters in his area.

1.2.7 Garden of Beasts (Godad Area)
Near Godad Castle Town are various untamed beasts that are similar in looks but differ in their skill use and attack pattern.

1.2.8 Gateway of Ghosts (Rune Area)
This gateway situated at the border between Godad and Rune is home to the ghosts of those that died during their attack on the Swamp of Screams.
The undead monsters that appear here hold grudges against those that leave Godad without taking control of the Swamp.
During the day, the gateway is quite peaceful. It is only at night the undead come to haunt.

1.2.9 Valley of Saints (Rune Area)
Found north of Rune Castle Town, the valley is the burial gRuneds for those that have earned the title Saint under the ruling of Einhasad in Elmore and Aden.
Monsters with various unique skills in their arsenal appear in this area.

1.2.10 Wild Animal Pasture (Rune Area)
The Pastures were originally built to raise animals for army use, but the uncontrollable savageness of the animals lead to the abandonment of the project.
The player is able to purchase feed from the Breeder who remains there to study new breeding techniques and feeds.
If the player successfully tame a savage using the feed, it can become a pet and follow the player to town or aid the player in his/her hunts until s/he logs off.

1.2.11 Forest of the Dead (Rune Area)
Located east of Rune Castle Town, the forest is tainted by the massacre of Von Hellman's rebel group in the hands of the Loyalists.
Rumours of rotting corpses present in the forest keep passerbys away from this deserted area.
Monsters appearing in the forest differ from night to day, but are mostly undead, vampiric and necromancer type monsters.
The corpses found in the area can be used by players but also by necromancer monsters to attack players.

1.2.12 Swamp of Screams (Rune Area)
East of Rune Castle Town, past the Forest of the Dead, is the swamp where Stakatos that failed in their war against Elmore Kingdom dwells and aims to grow.
Buffs and debuffs exist in this area, to the benefit of Stakatos and not the players.

1.2.13 Dimensional Gap
This new Seven Signs dungeon is completely different from the existing Necropoli and Catacombs.
Effects of the Seven Signs has caused a dimensional gap through which demons are launching an attack.
Because of the time and space warp present in the area, the player may be ported to various parts of the gap against his/her wishes.
The gap is accessible by registering a high festival score or through mission items aquired in Catacomb and Necropoli.
Player groups are auto-ported into different rooms of the dungeon, sometimes for good, sometimes for worse.
With a bit of luck, the group may be ported to a room with a raid boss that drops a rare item.

4. Valakas / Pets / Castle Sieges / Clan halls / Manor system
Translated by Wae at L2C

4.1 Fire Dragon Valakas
In Chronicle 4, the newly added boss monster, the Fire Dragon Valakas, is one of the ancient dragons who were the first of Shilen's offspring. Valakas makes its lair in the volcanic area of the Godad region inside what is called the 'Brazier of Gods'.

4.1.1 In order to reach Valakas' lair, one must use the 'Corridor of Fire' on the upper floor of the Brazier of Gods. But, to go to that place, one must complete the 'Into the Flames' quest given by Kline, the Lookout of Valakas, located in the Brazier of Gods. One has to hand over a one-time-use floating stone.
4.1.2 In the Corridor of Fire, subordinate monsters such as Kin of Valakas and Chief Gatekeeper of Valakas make appearances. One can obtain special items from these monsters to assist with the fight against Valakas.
4.1.3 Since the area one can battle Valakas in is a volcanic area, one can suffer incredible damage from the lava.
4.1.4 Unlike the Lair of Antharas, entrance to Valakas' lair is limited to 200 people.

4.2 Additional Pets

4.2.1 3 additional pets have been added. These newly added pets may be obtained either through a quest for each type or by giving to a pet manager a pet trade ticket that can be produced by each clan hall. The newly added pets are as follows.
Baby Buffalo
Baby Kookaburra
Baby Cougar
These pets feed on "Baby Spice" and their fighting prowess is weaker compared to the existing pets.
4.2.2 The special characteristics of hatchlings and striders have been changed.
The pets' previous categories of standard(wind)/defensive(star)/pet-use(twilight) have been changed to fighter(wind)/mage(star)/movement(twilight).
Active skills to match each special characteristic of hatchlings and striders have been added.
4.2.3 Pets and summons-related rules have been fixed/changed.
When a pet is alive and its master restarts, it will return to an item-state [its collar/flute/etc.]. If the pet is dead and its master restarts, it will not return to an item-state and its corpse will remain for 20 minutes after which both the corpse and the summoning item [collar/flute/etc.] will disappear. When a pet is dead and 20 minutes have not elapsed and its master's game exits, it will return to an item-state and upon reconnection, will appear as an alive summon with 0 HP.
If a pet is dead when the server goes down or under other similarly unexpected conditions, the pet will unconditionally return to becoming an item [its collar/flute/etc.]. When the pet is summoned again, it appears as a pet with 0 HP.
The situation where poison-wielding summons were gaining additional experience based on their use of their skills beyond their normal experience gain has been fixed.
The situation where a summon's/pet's combat status did not match its master's has been fixed. If, between two summons/pets, one enters into combat-mode, the other summon/pet and also its master will enter into combat-mode.
When the master returns [uses a scroll of return] or uses a gatekeeper, pets/summons will enter a mode where they automatically follow their master once he/she has teleported, even if they were previously under a "stay-put" command.
A "Dismiss Summon" action has been added to allow for the dismissal of summons.
A "Movement" action has been added that allows only for the movement of a pet/summon to its target.
When a pet levels-up, a level-up effect will be shown like when a character levels-up.

4.3 Godad Castle
The newly added Godad Castle in the Godad region differs from existing castles by being placed on a steep mountain thereby giving off an aura of a fortress. There is no new castle in the Rune region.

4.4 Clan Halls

4.4.1 Auctionable Clan Halls
5 new auctionable clan halls have been added to Giran Castle Town and 4 have been added to Godad Castle Town. These newly added clan halls are A-grade halls like the ones in Aden Castle Town. Interior decorating [furniture] is possible.
The ability to allow the clan leader to mount his/her wyvern has been added to the 6 clan halls in Aden Castle Town and can be used by speaking with the clan hall's doorkeeper.
Item production abilities have been added to Dion Castle Town's clan halls, as well.
One can view the locations of the town's clan halls on the map by speaking with the town's Auctioneer.
4.4.2 Occupiable Clan Halls
The length of tenure for occupiable clan halls such as the Partisan Hideaway, Devastated Castle, and Bandit Stronghold has been changed from 1 week to 2 weeks.
The abilities of occupiable clan halls have been expanded upon. Experience restoration, buff magic, and item production abilities have been added.
4.4.3 A wyvern manager has been placed in the Devastated Castle so the clan leader may use a wyvern.
4.4.4 The scroll of enchant armor can now also be produced by using the item production ability provided by the Bandit Stronghold and Devastated Castle.
4.4.5 Aside from the existing method of going through a quest to apply for the Bandit Stronghold, an additional method of paying with adena has been added.
4.4.6 One can view the list of participating clans for the Bandit Stronghold by speaking with the messenger.
4.4.7 To match their expanded abilities, the teleport fee for occupiable clan halls has been made 500 adena, the same as the fee for auctionable clan halls.
4.4.8 Miscellaneous
When using an auctionable/occupiable clan hall's item production ability up to level 3, one can get pet trade tickets and various potions/fish oil/accessory/dye/hair change/face change recipes.
One can buy wyvern feed when using the item production ability of the Devastated Castle and the 6 clan halls in Aden Castle Town.
4.5 Castle-related Changes

4.5.1 The teleport NPC placed within castles have been removed.
4.5.2 Instead, it is possible to teleport inside/outside of the castle doors by speaking with the doorkeeper. Through the castle lord's transfer of authority, clan members may also teleport.

4.6 Siege-related Changes

4.6.1 Due to the addition of Godad Castle, it has been changed so a maximum of 4 castles may have a siege at the same time.
4.6.2 The purchase of mercenaries used in siege is now possible only during the Seven Signs' seal effectiveness period.
4.6.3 The number of mercenaries that can possibly be placed in each castle has been changed. One can confirm the possible number by speaking with the Mercenary manager.
4.6.4 Defenders can no longer attack the castle doors.

4.7 Manor-related Changes

4.7.1 The time during which a clan leader can sell seeds and purchase final products, and the time where the established manor-related cost is withdrawn from the castle's warehouse have been changed.
The time period during which a clan leader may establish manor-related values is each day from 8 in the evening to 8 in the morning the following day. From 8 in the morning to 8 in the afternoon of the same day, the established manor values may not be changed.
The established manor-related cost is withdrawn from the castle's warehouse at 8 in the morning.
When the manor begins at 8 in the afternoon, the previous day's purchase of final products are placed into the clan warehouse and the remainder from the cost of the seeds/harvest sales is received by the castle's warehouse.
4.7.2 The amount of final products that can be purchased has been changed for each castle.
4.7.3 Together with the appearance of the new regions, cova seed(s) for high level-use has/have been added.
4.7.4 All castles may craft all producible items. There can be a difference in the maximum number of producible items based on each castle's possible number of purchasable harvest items.
4.7.5 The amount of normal seeds and improved seeds on sale has changed.
4.7.6 The seeds sale/purchase ratio has been adjusted. This ratio is different for each normal final product and improved final product.
4.7.7 For normal products, the maximum number of purchasable products has been changed to be slightly more than the maximum number of seeds on sale.

5. 3rd Job Change, etc.
Translated by Wae at L2C

5.1 Player-related Changes

5.1.1 Player Level Cap Increased
The previous level cap of 75 in Chronicle 3 has been raised to level 78. Subclasses and the main class may be raised to level 78. A 3rd job change is possible and becoming a noblesse is possible. However, in order to become a hero, the main class must participate in the Olympiad.
5.1.2 3rd Job Change
Players who have reached level 76 may undergo the 3rd job change. Players who have undergone the 3rd job change have, compared to before, stronger skills. and can learn diverse new skills. Already acquired skills can be enchanted through a specific skill. Unlike the 1st and 2nd job change, there is no further division of the classes in the 3rd job change. This job change enables each class to be the only one class at the top.

5.2 Noblesse

Players who have leveled a subclass to level 75 and have completed the quest for it, may become a Noblesse. Players who have become a member of the Noblesse are bestowed with special skills or abilities [L2Center's notes: no, not weapon SA's...] The majority of them are skills used for sieges and raids. Noblesse, with the use of these skills, can lead the raids. When one becomes Noblesse, the main class and subclasses all become Noblesse. The Noblesse-specific skills may also be used by the main and all subclasses.

5.3Hero

Heroes arise from the 'Grand Olympiad', a PvP competition among the Noblesse. For the timespan of one month, those with the top scores are recorded. Only those people who have been selected as heroes may use the powerful hero weapons, be bestowed with a hero's abilities, and have one's body be blessed with a unique aura.

5.3.1 Determination of Heroes
Once the 1 month-long PvP tournament finishes, a hero is determined by olympiad points and can be the hero during the next month's tournament. The day and time when a hero is appointed is on the 1st of each month at 12 in the morning [midnight, I assume].
5.3.2 Selection of Heroes
Based on the main class, among the people who had 5 or more matches, the person with the most olympiad points per 3rd job class is selected as a hero. Immediately after their one month's cycle ends, the selected people are given a Hero Stand-by status. When under hero stand-by status, a hero's abilities and weapons are withdrawn/retracted. For example, if in this cycle one has the most olympiad points for one's class but participated in less than 5 matches, one cannot become a hero. Therefore, it is possible for a class to go without a hero for a cycle.
5.3.3 Confirmation of Top Ranking
All Noblesse may view the top 10 olympiad point holders for each class from the previous month's tournament by speaking with the Olympiad Administrator. However, those people who had 4 or less matches and failed to be appointed as hero are not listed. From this rankings list, through only the characters' names, the cost of an olympiad point which determines the final ranking cannot be known. That is, in the window where one can review the rankings list, only the names of the top 10 ranked people are shown. When large number of tied scores exist, a maximum of 15 people are shown.

5.4 Grand Olympiad

5.4.1 Grand Olympiad
The Grand Olympiad in which Noblesse compete 1:1 in PvP, is a competition to determine a hero. It lasts for the period of one month and at its conclusion, by each class, the Noblesse with the most olympiad ppoints accumulated ascends to become a hero. Only Noblesse who completed the 3rd job change can participate in the Olympiad tournament. For the test server, the Olympiad's period has been set to 5 days.
5.4.2 Tournament System
There are two types of competition in the Olympiad tournament. One is the large competition per class and the other is a competition not dependent on the class. For the by-class competition, one can only compete against others of the same class. In the no-restriction competition, one can compete against even those who are not of the same class.
One can participate only by speaking with the Olympiad Administrator. Competing can only take place from 3PM to 3AM. Registrations for the competition outside of the competition hours are not accepted. For the test server, there is no limit on the competition hours and it takes place 24 hours a day.
Registrants are randomly matched and are summoned to the tournament arena to battle.
From 30 seconds prior to being summoned to the tournament arena, a system message will guide the competitor.
Competitors have 30 seconds to prepare and then the tournament arena is switched out for a battle arena and the competition begins.
A match lasts for a maximum of 3 minutes. The person whose HP reaches 0 first is the loser. If no decision comes out of those 3 minutes, then the one who inflicted the most damage is declared the winner.
When a winner is decided, a system message with the winner and change in Olympiad points is announced and the competitors are moved back to town.
In the battle arena, even if a character reaches 0 HP, it will not die; at that moment in time, only the winner is determined.
After being summoned to the tournament arena, before a winner is determined, if a person's game unnaturally exits, then that person is declared to be the loser of the match. If the server goes down in the middle of a match, the match is cancelled and players restart in town.
Before the start of a match, HP, MP, and CP all are restored. All pre-existing buffs and debuffs are removed. Also, summoned pets are all unsummoned. Summons/Cubics do not disappear but are moved to the tournament arena together with their masters. All buffs on a summon are similarly removed before the start of a match.
Important Notes
Only the main class may participate in the tournament. After registering for the tournament, if a main class is switched to a subclass, that person is excluded from/removed off the waiting-list.
If one is in a party at the moment one is summoned to the tournament arena, one is automatically removed from the party.
One cannot participate in the tournament if one reaches 0 Olympiad points.
Except for soulshots, spiritshots, sound/echo crystals, energy stones, and firecrackers, other items may not be used in the Olympiad competition.
Recall, Party Recall, and similar type of skills cannot be used.
5.4.3 Olympiad Points
When the Olympiad period first begins, all Noblesse are given 18 points to start with. 3 additional points are given each week. For the test server, 4 additional points are given every day.
After an Olympiad match, the Olympiad points of the loser are given to the winner.
One can view one's current Olympiad point value by speaking with the Olympiad Administrator.
At the moment the Olympiad ends, if one has collected 50 or more Olympiad points, one can trade the points at the Olympiad Administrator for Noblesse Gate Passes. The exchange rate is 1 point for 1000 Noblesse Gate Passes.
Noblesse Gate Passes can be used at the Olympiad Administrator to purchase items or at Gatekeepers to teleport to various regions.
5.4.4 Spectating
One can spectate the matches of the Olympiad tournament in the same manner one spectates with the Broadcasting Towers.
On the tournament list, one can see the current participants and the names of the registrants.
While in spectator-mode, spectators can view the competitors' character names, HP, CP, and buff status.
While spectating, one can expand the tournament window to inspect what skills each competitor uses and whether or not critical hits were made.
While in spectator-mode, one is moved to the tournament arena. Even if one does not leave the arena, one can still spectate other matches.
While spectating, one can exit spectator-mode. Also, when the server goes down or one's connection is unnaturally terminated, one is returned back to the town one began spectating in.
One can spectate the tournament for free.

6. Skills

6.1 Skill Enchants

One of the new features is the ability to enchant skills.
The difference between enchanting a skill and levelling a skill through a trainer are the following:

6.1.1 Enchanting enhances the skill without compromise.
When a player levels a skill through a trainer, both the power of the skill and its MP cost increase
With enchanting, there will be no compromise such as rise in MP cost.

6.1.2 Skill effect to be enchanted are selectable
A skill can be enchanted in different ways.
For example, with Deadly Blow, the player is able to choose to enchant for reduced MP cost or reduced refresh time.
However, the branch of skill effect that is enchanted will be chosen with the first enchant, and the player cannot mix enchant branches.

6.1.3 Number of possible enchants are not limited by level
A character at any level can enchant their skill to the maximum limit.

6.1.4. Cost of a skill enchant is XP, SP and 'Titan's Secret Scroll'.
Titan's Secret Scroll is only needed with the first enchant. Sucessing enchants use only Xp and SP.
If the character lacks the XP or SP at his/her level needed to enchant, s/he will be unable to do so.
FOr example, a character at level 76 and 0.0% will not be able to enchant a skill due to lack of needed XP.
(note: in other words, you cannot delevel by enchanting)

6.1.5 Chance to Fail
Skill enchants have a chance of failing. Success or fail is determined at every enchant and if it fails, the skill is returned to its pre-enchant state.
For example, if the player enchants Deadly blow to +2 and then fails at +3, the skill will be returned to +0.


6.2 3rd Profession skills have been added
(note: that's ALL they've said about new class skills el o el.. sorry to disappoint. stay tuned I guess ^_^)

7. Fishing / Clan Warfare

7.1 Festival of Darkness Changes

7.1.1 'Blood of Sacrifice' drop rate has been increased
7.1.2 Mobs with new attack forms have been added

7.2 Fishing
In order to fish, you must have a fishing pole and bait. These items can be bought or quested for.
Players must learn the 'Fish' skill in order to fish. This can be done in exchange for adena at the Fishery NPC.
Although not necessary, use of 'Fishing Shots' will facilitate the fishing experience. Like Soulshots, Fishing Shots are used by placing it in the shortcut bar or by double-clicking its icon.
Fishing pole is equipped in the weapon slot, and bait - like arrows - are equipped in the left hand. When the 'Fish' skill is activated with both these items in place, the fishing commences.
Once fishing begins, the player is alerted with a panel that depicts an enlarged view of the fishing bob.
Pumping' and 'Reeling' are skills that help successfully fish. These are also skills you can learn from the Fishery NPC.
After watching the fishing bob for some time, when a fish In the fishing panel bites, the fish's HP and fishing time limit appears in the panel. If the player is able to reduce the fish's HP to 0 within the time limit, the fish is successfully caught.
If the player succeeds, the fish appears in the player's inventory and the fishing panel is closed.
If the player fails, fishing ends and the panel closes. This occurs even if the 'fish' skill is used before the session ends.
Fish and treasure chests earned through fishing turn randomly into other items when double-clicked. These items are mostly materials for Regular Crafting, or are special items that are tradeable in exchange for 'Titan's Secret Scroll'
There is a chance that the player will fish up a monster instead of a fish, so caution should be used at all times.
A fishing area is a region where there are enough fish for trhe skill to be used. Rivers or lakes that show the player's breath meter, or areas such as Godad's Hot Springs, are places where fish will be found.
Higer levels of fish will be caught with higher level fishing skills. However, because higher level fish are smarter and stronger, the player needs to train Reeling and Pumping in order to catch them.
The fishing guide, which stores details and tips on fishing, can be purchased from the Fishery NPC.

The fishing system is meant to add a new and fun way to acquire materials needed in creating useful items.
At each store or harbor, a Fishery NPC will be placed to sell fishing equipment and to train fishing skills as well as the new common skills.



7.3 Community Panel Changes

7.3.1 A search function has been added to the clan list. List is searcheable by clan name and clan leader.
7.3.2 Clan announcement function is now available. When the clan leader composes an announcement and sets announcement alert to 'on', all clan members will receive the notification upon login.
7.3.3 Regional information can be accessed through the Regional Community option. Here, the player can see such info as castle ownership, tax rate, clan hall ownership, and clan hall bidding date.


7.4 Raid Boss Changes

Some raid bosses were reduced in difficulty, while some that require more dyniamic combat tactics were added.


7.5 Clan Warfare Changes

In Chronicle 4, the clan war feature has been revised to facilitate open-field warfare.
The system detailed here completely replaces the existing clan war system.
Clan Declaring War
Only the leader of a level 3 or higher clan that has 15 or more members can declare war.
Clan Receiving Declaration
The player can only declare war on clans that are level 3 or higher and have 15 or more members.
The player can not declare war on clans that are in the same alliance. Also, the player cannot ally with a clan that is in war status with the player's clan.
Clans that are in war can still send and receive war declarations and increase their scale of war.
A clan can have a maximum of 30 active war declarations, but are unlimited in the number of declations they can receive.
Withdrawing from clan war can be delegated.
Commands related to clan warfare are the folowing:
/outgoingwarlist : list of clans that the player's clan has declared war on
/incomingwarlist : list of clans that have declared war on the player's clan
/twowaywarlist : list of clans that the player is in two-way war with
(note: the commands are completely inaccurate as I can only guess how NCNA will choose to translate them)
War Declaration
Clan wars can be declared and activated with no regard to whether the subjected clan is in agreement or not. Members of the subjected clan will receive a notice that war has been declared on them.
Xp loss upon death in the situation where the player dies to a clan that his/her clan has declared war on is 1/4 of normal XP loss.
This holds true even if the enemy clan hasn't declared war in return.
In a two-way war, when a player PKs an enemy player, the kill goes towards his/her PVP count.
In a one-way war, if a player from the clan that declared the war PKs an enemy player, the kill goes towards his/her PK count.
The war tag appears on the enemy clan as soon as the player's clan declares war on the subjected clan.
Ending/Withdrawing from Clan War
Withdrawing from war can be done through command or by using the war withdrawl button in the clan menu.
Similarly to declaration, withdrawl can occur without the consent of the enemy clan. Withdrawl will be notified to the enemy clan members.
A clan war ends when both clans withdrawl from war
The previous surrender system has now been removed.

my head hurts is there anyone that can translate the translation to 25 words or less

the new cap and hero and nobless stuff anyone explain it in words of 1 sylable or less

Noblesse:

1. Get to level 75;
2. Complete the subclass quest;
3. Get the subclass to 75;
4. Complete third class change primary class.

Gratz you, noblesse. What that means is unclear other than you become more powerful and have fruity siege/raid abilities.

All the noblesses can compete on a monthly basis to be the Hero of their primary class at the Olympiad (1:1 PvP). Each class has a Hero that also has fruity abilities/items.

The new level cap is 78. Level 75 gives you access to S grade. Level 76 and the third class change gives you extra class abilities.
