Overview

A massive gameplay evolution. Characters who reach Base Level 99 and Job Level 50 as a Primary Second Class can travel to Juno to undergo Rebirth, a process known as "Transcendence." When reborn, they lose all Stats and Skills and become a level 1/1 High Novice, a more powerful version of the regular Novice.

High Novices progress through High First Classes and ultimately into Transcendent Second Classes with access to all their original skills plus powerful new Transcendent-exclusive abilities. The max Job Level increases from 50 to 70, and characters gain permanent stat bonuses.
