4th Job Mechanism

Intro

Upon changing into 4th Job, you are introduced to two new mechanics: Activity Point and Trait Stats.

Activity Point (AP) is a new resource mechanic exclusive to 4th job skills. Some 4th job skills grant AP. You can check the skill's description. There are usually two “ultimate” skills that consumes majority of your AP. The maximum amount of AP you can hold is 200 regardless of class. Currently only one method exists to get AP faster via Elemental Master's Increasing Activity. Elemental Master's Activity Burn can remove AP from an enemy. When you die or enter a PVP or WOE map, you lose all your AP. When you spawn in Vanaheim, you gain full AP.

There are 6 main trait stats that a player can allocate towards: POW, STA, WIS, SPL, CON and CRT. Each of these main trait stats can grant various sub-trait stats: P.ATK, S.MATK, RES, MRES, H.PLUS, and C.RATE. Any levels from 200 and beyond will grant Trait Stats instead of the normal Primary Stats. Every level gives 3 trait stat points. If a level is divisible by 5 (Ex: 200, 205, 210…), you will get 7 trait stat points. When you change to 4th job, you will get 7 trait stat points because level 200 is divisible by 5.
