== Overview ==
Soul Linkers give up the ways of TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of their ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the abilities of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.

Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to [[Wizard|Wizards]] and [[Sage|Sages]], their spells are severely limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to [[Mild Wind]] they can use powerful [[Holy]], [[Ghost]], and [[Shadow]] magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of [[PvM]] or [[PvP]] & [[WoE]] options. Although casters, Linkers, like Sages, can go melee.

They have relatively low [[HP]], but better [[SP]] than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so [[INT]] is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need for [[DEX]] compared to other magic-using classes. With some [[VIT]] and their defensive magic, coupled with [[TaeKwon Kid]]'s [[Tumbling]], they can be quite good tankers.

A unique thing about Soul Linkers is that they are naturally immune to [[Dispell]].

== Jobchange Guide ==
{{:Soul Linker Job Change Guide}}
== Builds ==
=== PvM Battle ===
*[[STR]]: 70-99
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-44
*[[INT]]: 18-48
*[[DEX]]: 18-48
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is unique in that it uses a Linker's ability to equip and fight with daggers. Usually they equip a carded Gladius[3], or a Dagger of Counter, while using [[Mild Wind]] to maximize their damage. The stat distribution shown above can be adjusted as you wish. You can go less STR but more AGI (hence having higher Aspd but lower damage) or more STR but less AGI (hence lower Aspd but having higher damage). The INT and DEX stats are slightly dependent on your budget. Usually those who can't afford a Dagger of Counter (which may be expensive in some servers) need more DEX as they tend to use a carded Gladius[3] instead, and thus require more DEX to gain more HIT so they can hit monsters. This comes at the cost of having less INT (which means you depend on Kaina for SP even more). If you can afford to buy a Dagger of Counter, you can go less DEX as Crits ignore your Hit and the opponent's Flee, and you can go with higher INT (which means more SP to use buffs and for [[Kaahi]]). You also can get more VIT by sacrificing DEX, but only if you use Dagger of Counter. Otherwise, if you need VIT, you better sacrifice another stat. The odd amount of INT & DEX are because Linkers get +12 DEX and INT Job Bonus, thus having Base INT & DEX that ends with 8 will round it up, and the above stats takes only Job Bonus into account. Same applies to the odd VIT ending in 4, this is because Soul Linker gets +6 VIT Job Bonus. As for Skills, you can mix Spirit skills with Ka- skills, and maybe a few points on some non-damaging Es- skills like [[Eske]] or [[Eswoo]]. Or you can go full Spirit skills or full Ka- skills. Maxed [[Kaina]] is good for boosting your SP, since a Battle Linker tends to have lower SP pool, and therefore would have problems with constant usage of [[Kaahi]] and [[Mild Wind]]. Also, there might be times when you have to go support your friend instead of dealing damage - the SP boost from Kaina helps in this case.

===MvP / PvM Esma Dex Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 9
*[[VIT]]: 1
*[[INT]]: 120+
*[[DEX]]: 99+
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is obviously used to maximize Esma damage combined with Mild Wind within the shortest time. As shown, this setting allows the linker to be the primary damage dealer within the party. Agi and Vit aren't needed as this is damage-only. Just stand behind the tanker quickly casting Esma over and over to help get things going. The 9 Str is just for a higher weight limit to carry whatever items are needed.
This build decreases Esma cast time and delivers maximum damage, but also drains sp faster. To overcome this shortage it is best to have the skill [[Kaina]] to increase maximum sp and cut Es-type skill cost as well as having a priest cast [[Magnificat]] on the party, or using sp related equipments (Ex. {{item |id=2518 Morpheus's Shawl}}), cards (Ex. {{item |id=4100 Sohee Card}}) and potions (Ex. {{item |id=505 Blue Potion}}) to last longer.

===PvM Esma Vit Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 50-99
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-50
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

Mainly the same as the Dex Bolter type, but allows for tanking big monsters with heavy skills and completely heal with normal hits after. They don't need high Dex, because Esma Base-cast time is pretty low anyways.

===PvM Esma Hybrid Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 40-70
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 60-80
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This is a mix of Dex Bolter and Vit Bolter combining fast casting and middle-level tanking skills.

===PvM Esma Agi Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-20
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-40
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This build is an extraordinary one. They level - like the other bolters - with Esma only, but instead of getting hit and automatically get healed by [[Kaahi]], they dodge 95% of normal attacks and don't "waste" SP. They have a disadvantage compared to Vit- and Dex Bolter (slow cast,
low HP), but - depending on where you level - have less problemstrouble with SP regeneration.
Agi Bolters usually get [[Kaupe]] the other 5% hit (non-dodge) too.

===WoE Support ===

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 20-50
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 70-90
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build focuses on WoE with Ka and Spirit Link Skills. They get only a few to none Es skills, as those are usable in PvM only. Their most important spells are Kaite, Kaupe for support, and Bard, Dancer, and Soul Linker Spirits for buffs. The rest are chosen from the remaining Ka spells. Assassin, Rogue, and Wizard Spirits are often preferable. Their leveling methods are either leeching or supporting parties with Kaupe, Eska/Eske and the Spirit Skills.

===WoE Support (Vit Type)===
(Stats including Bonus)

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 80-90
*[[INT]]: 90-100
*[[DEX]]: 60-70
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build is just like the normal WoE Support Soul Linker, but this one doesn't have to fear the battlefield. During field battle, this SL fights with Swordbreaker/Mailbreaker and Blast/Envenom Clip.

===Ka-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build uses its Ka skills to maximize melee prowess. Since only 38 skill points must be used to max out all the Ka skills, the rest can go towards Es skills or spirits. The stat layout given is deliberately basic, leaving a lot of space for personal preference and experimentation.

===Spirit-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build is different from it's Ka counterpart in that it uses spirit skills to buff it's friends while fighting alongside them. A few skillpoints must be invested in Ka skills (Particularly, a few levels in Kaahi) to compensate for the soul linker's weak defense. Exact spirit skills taken depend on your own party preference. Again, you'll have plenty of statpoints left over after you hit these ''minimum'' stats to distribute any way you like and experiment.

== Equipment ==
=== Headgear ===
Soul Linkers are limited to Mage headgear and any that are usable by all classes except novice. However, some headgear have extra bonuses for Taekwon classes (which includes Soul Linkers):

{{Item List |id=5173 |item=Magistrate Hat |slots=1}}
:+1 Agi, +3% HP regen.
{{Item List |id=5177 |item=Mythical Lion Mask |slots=1}}
:+2 Dex, 10% chance to inflict stun with a melee attack, +2 ATK per upgrade.
{{Item List |id=5169 |item=Bride Mask |slots=1}}
:+5 crit, +2 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5176 |item=Hahoe Mask}}
:+2 Perfect dodge, +1 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5174 |item=Ayam |slots=1}}
:+1 Int, +3% SP regen.

But if you cannot afford the above headgears, there's always Apple of Archer, and the much cheaper Wizard Hat.

{{Item List |id=2285 |item=Apple of Archer}}
:+3 Dex. ''Usually not as cheap and easy to get as "Wizard Hat", but the price is normally still reachable.''

{{Item List |id=2252 |item=Wizard Hat}}
:+100 MaxSP. ''Cheaper, easy-to-get headgear that is suitable for those who cannot afford expensive fancy headgears.''

=== Footgear ===

Soul Linkers can wear Sandals (and Sandals[1]), Shoes (and Shoes[1]), High Fashion Sandals[1], and all footgear usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Armor ===

Soul Linkers are limited to Mage-class armor and armor usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Garment ===

Soul Linkers can wear Hood (and Hood[1]), Muffler (and Muffler[1]), as well as Mage-class garments and those usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Shield ===

{{Item List |id=2101 |item=Guard |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2102 |item=Guard |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3.
{{Item List |id=2109 |item=Memory Book |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2121 |item=Memory Book |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+2, [[INT]]+1.
{{Item List |id=2115 |item=Valkyrja's Shield |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+5, -20% damage from [[Fire]], [[Water]], [[Shadow]], [[Undead]] elements.
{{Item List |id=2114 |item=Stone Buckler |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, -5% damage from [[Large]] size.

=== Accessory ===

Soul Linkers can equip various accessories, such as {{item |id=2607 Clip}}, {{item |id=2658 Nile Rose}}, as well as the stat-boosting generic accessories such as {{item |id=2604 Glove}}, {{item |id=2601 Ring}}, {{item |id=2602 Earring}}, {{item |id=2603 Necklace}}, and of course, their "Level 90+" slotted version.
The easiest option, though, is a Clip. Aside from that, there are other accessories that Soul Linkers can equip, but those mentioned above are what people usually use. If you have the money, and you are level 80 or higher, you can use {{item |id=2716 Librarian Glove}} or {{item |id=2783 Eye Stone Ring}} instead, which, to Linkers, are essentially a Clip with a better SP bonus.

=== Weapon ===

Soul Linkers can fight unarmed, keeping the bonuses from the [[Sprint]] skill, or use [[Dagger]]s and [[Rod]]s.
Usually, rods are to be used for [[Esma]] or supportive play styles. Most daggers are only better than fists when they're carded, especially against large enemies.

{{Item List |id=1242 |item=Dagger of Counter}}
:[[ATK]]+140, [[Crit]]+90. ''Provides better damage output compared to fighting unarmed, especially if the opponent has high defense.''

==== Notes ====
===== TK Skills =====
Once a TaeKwon Kid changes into a Soul Linker, only the following TK skills may be used: [[Tumbling]], [[Sprint]], [[Peaceful Break]], [[Happy Break]], [[Kihop]], [[Leap]], [[Mild Wind]].

===== Es Skills =====
Es spells are offensive magic. This type can be cast only on monsters. Casting them on players causes the skill to fail and the caster to be stunned (even in PvP/WoE conditions).

===== Ka Skills =====
Ka spells are defensive magic. By default the caster can use this only on themself, their spouse or their child, or other Soul Linkers. Unless the user is linked with the [[Soul Linker Spirit]], using these skills on anyone else causes them to fail and the caster to be stunned.

===== Spirit Link Skills =====
These skills imbue other characters with special abilities for a time depending on skill level. Each class has their own Spirit Link that can only be cast upon them.

* Transcendent second classes can utilize the Spirit Link of their original second class.
* Soul Linkers cannot use the [[Soul Linker Spirit]] on themselves; they must have another Soul Linker cast it on them.

Soul Linkers give up the ways of TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of their ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the abilities of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.

Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to [[Wizard|Wizards]] and [[Sage|Sages]], their spells are severely limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to [[Mild Wind]] they can use powerful [[Holy]], [[Ghost]], and [[Shadow]] magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of [[PvM]] or [[PvP]] & [[WoE]] options. Although casters, Linkers, like Sages, can go melee.

They have relatively low [[HP]], but better [[SP]] than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so [[INT]] is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need for [[DEX]] compared to other magic-using classes. With some [[VIT]] and their defensive magic, coupled with [[TaeKwon Kid]]'s [[Tumbling]], they can be quite good tankers.

A unique thing about Soul Linkers is that they are naturally immune to [[Dispell]].

{{:Soul Linker Job Change Guide}}
== Builds ==
=== PvM Battle ===
*[[STR]]: 70-99
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-44
*[[INT]]: 18-48
*[[DEX]]: 18-48
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is unique in that it uses a Linker's ability to equip and fight with daggers. Usually they equip a carded Gladius[3], or a Dagger of Counter, while using [[Mild Wind]] to maximize their damage. The stat distribution shown above can be adjusted as you wish. You can go less STR but more AGI (hence having higher Aspd but lower damage) or more STR but less AGI (hence lower Aspd but having higher damage). The INT and DEX stats are slightly dependent on your budget. Usually those who can't afford a Dagger of Counter (which may be expensive in some servers) need more DEX as they tend to use a carded Gladius[3] instead, and thus require more DEX to gain more HIT so they can hit monsters. This comes at the cost of having less INT (which means you depend on Kaina for SP even more). If you can afford to buy a Dagger of Counter, you can go less DEX as Crits ignore your Hit and the opponent's Flee, and you can go with higher INT (which means more SP to use buffs and for [[Kaahi]]). You also can get more VIT by sacrificing DEX, but only if you use Dagger of Counter. Otherwise, if you need VIT, you better sacrifice another stat. The odd amount of INT & DEX are because Linkers get +12 DEX and INT Job Bonus, thus having Base INT & DEX that ends with 8 will round it up, and the above stats takes only Job Bonus into account. Same applies to the odd VIT ending in 4, this is because Soul Linker gets +6 VIT Job Bonus. As for Skills, you can mix Spirit skills with Ka- skills, and maybe a few points on some non-damaging Es- skills like [[Eske]] or [[Eswoo]]. Or you can go full Spirit skills or full Ka- skills. Maxed [[Kaina]] is good for boosting your SP, since a Battle Linker tends to have lower SP pool, and therefore would have problems with constant usage of [[Kaahi]] and [[Mild Wind]]. Also, there might be times when you have to go support your friend instead of dealing damage - the SP boost from Kaina helps in this case.

===MvP / PvM Esma Dex Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 9
*[[VIT]]: 1
*[[INT]]: 120+
*[[DEX]]: 99+
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is obviously used to maximize Esma damage combined with Mild Wind within the shortest time. As shown, this setting allows the linker to be the primary damage dealer within the party. Agi and Vit aren't needed as this is damage-only. Just stand behind the tanker quickly casting Esma over and over to help get things going. The 9 Str is just for a higher weight limit to carry whatever items are needed.
This build decreases Esma cast time and delivers maximum damage, but also drains sp faster. To overcome this shortage it is best to have the skill [[Kaina]] to increase maximum sp and cut Es-type skill cost as well as having a priest cast [[Magnificat]] on the party, or using sp related equipments (Ex. {{item |id=2518 Morpheus's Shawl}}), cards (Ex. {{item |id=4100 Sohee Card}}) and potions (Ex. {{item |id=505 Blue Potion}}) to last longer.

===PvM Esma Vit Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 50-99
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-50
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

Mainly the same as the Dex Bolter type, but allows for tanking big monsters with heavy skills and completely heal with normal hits after. They don't need high Dex, because Esma Base-cast time is pretty low anyways.

===PvM Esma Hybrid Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 40-70
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 60-80
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This is a mix of Dex Bolter and Vit Bolter combining fast casting and middle-level tanking skills.

===PvM Esma Agi Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-20
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-40
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This build is an extraordinary one. They level - like the other bolters - with Esma only, but instead of getting hit and automatically get healed by [[Kaahi]], they dodge 95% of normal attacks and don't "waste" SP. They have a disadvantage compared to Vit- and Dex Bolter (slow cast,
low HP), but - depending on where you level - have less problemstrouble with SP regeneration.
Agi Bolters usually get [[Kaupe]] the other 5% hit (non-dodge) too.

===WoE Support ===

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 20-50
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 70-90
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build focuses on WoE with Ka and Spirit Link Skills. They get only a few to none Es skills, as those are usable in PvM only. Their most important spells are Kaite, Kaupe for support, and Bard, Dancer, and Soul Linker Spirits for buffs. The rest are chosen from the remaining Ka spells. Assassin, Rogue, and Wizard Spirits are often preferable. Their leveling methods are either leeching or supporting parties with Kaupe, Eska/Eske and the Spirit Skills.

===WoE Support (Vit Type)===
(Stats including Bonus)

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 80-90
*[[INT]]: 90-100
*[[DEX]]: 60-70
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build is just like the normal WoE Support Soul Linker, but this one doesn't have to fear the battlefield. During field battle, this SL fights with Swordbreaker/Mailbreaker and Blast/Envenom Clip.

===Ka-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build uses its Ka skills to maximize melee prowess. Since only 38 skill points must be used to max out all the Ka skills, the rest can go towards Es skills or spirits. The stat layout given is deliberately basic, leaving a lot of space for personal preference and experimentation.

===Spirit-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build is different from it's Ka counterpart in that it uses spirit skills to buff it's friends while fighting alongside them. A few skillpoints must be invested in Ka skills (Particularly, a few levels in Kaahi) to compensate for the soul linker's weak defense. Exact spirit skills taken depend on your own party preference. Again, you'll have plenty of statpoints left over after you hit these ''minimum'' stats to distribute any way you like and experiment.

== Equipment ==
=== Headgear ===
Soul Linkers are limited to Mage headgear and any that are usable by all classes except novice. However, some headgear have extra bonuses for Taekwon classes (which includes Soul Linkers):

{{Item List |id=5173 |item=Magistrate Hat |slots=1}}
:+1 Agi, +3% HP regen.
{{Item List |id=5177 |item=Mythical Lion Mask |slots=1}}
:+2 Dex, 10% chance to inflict stun with a melee attack, +2 ATK per upgrade.
{{Item List |id=5169 |item=Bride Mask |slots=1}}
:+5 crit, +2 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5176 |item=Hahoe Mask}}
:+2 Perfect dodge, +1 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5174 |item=Ayam |slots=1}}
:+1 Int, +3% SP regen.

But if you cannot afford the above headgears, there's always Apple of Archer, and the much cheaper Wizard Hat.

{{Item List |id=2285 |item=Apple of Archer}}
:+3 Dex. ''Usually not as cheap and easy to get as "Wizard Hat", but the price is normally still reachable.''

{{Item List |id=2252 |item=Wizard Hat}}
:+100 MaxSP. ''Cheaper, easy-to-get headgear that is suitable for those who cannot afford expensive fancy headgears.''

=== Footgear ===

Soul Linkers can wear Sandals (and Sandals[1]), Shoes (and Shoes[1]), High Fashion Sandals[1], and all footgear usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Armor ===

Soul Linkers are limited to Mage-class armor and armor usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Garment ===

Soul Linkers can wear Hood (and Hood[1]), Muffler (and Muffler[1]), as well as Mage-class garments and those usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Shield ===

{{Item List |id=2101 |item=Guard |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2102 |item=Guard |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3.
{{Item List |id=2109 |item=Memory Book |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2121 |item=Memory Book |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+2, [[INT]]+1.
{{Item List |id=2115 |item=Valkyrja's Shield |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+5, -20% damage from [[Fire]], [[Water]], [[Shadow]], [[Undead]] elements.
{{Item List |id=2114 |item=Stone Buckler |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, -5% damage from [[Large]] size.

=== Accessory ===

Soul Linkers can equip various accessories, such as {{item |id=2607 Clip}}, {{item |id=2658 Nile Rose}}, as well as the stat-boosting generic accessories such as {{item |id=2604 Glove}}, {{item |id=2601 Ring}}, {{item |id=2602 Earring}}, {{item |id=2603 Necklace}}, and of course, their "Level 90+" slotted version.
The easiest option, though, is a Clip. Aside from that, there are other accessories that Soul Linkers can equip, but those mentioned above are what people usually use. If you have the money, and you are level 80 or higher, you can use {{item |id=2716 Librarian Glove}} or {{item |id=2783 Eye Stone Ring}} instead, which, to Linkers, are essentially a Clip with a better SP bonus.

=== Weapon ===

Soul Linkers can fight unarmed, keeping the bonuses from the [[Sprint]] skill, or use [[Dagger]]s and [[Rod]]s.
Usually, rods are to be used for [[Esma]] or supportive play styles. Most daggers are only better than fists when they're carded, especially against large enemies.

{{Item List |id=1242 |item=Dagger of Counter}}
:[[ATK]]+140, [[Crit]]+90. ''Provides better damage output compared to fighting unarmed, especially if the opponent has high defense.''

==== Notes ====
===== TK Skills =====
Once a TaeKwon Kid changes into a Soul Linker, only the following TK skills may be used: [[Tumbling]], [[Sprint]], [[Peaceful Break]], [[Happy Break]], [[Kihop]], [[Leap]], [[Mild Wind]].

===== Es Skills =====
Es spells are offensive magic. This type can be cast only on monsters. Casting them on players causes the skill to fail and the caster to be stunned (even in PvP/WoE conditions).

===== Ka Skills =====
Ka spells are defensive magic. By default the caster can use this only on themself, their spouse or their child, or other Soul Linkers. Unless the user is linked with the [[Soul Linker Spirit]], using these skills on anyone else causes them to fail and the caster to be stunned.

===== Spirit Link Skills =====
These skills imbue other characters with special abilities for a time depending on skill level. Each class has their own Spirit Link that can only be cast upon them.

* Transcendent second classes can utilize the Spirit Link of their original second class.
* Soul Linkers cannot use the [[Soul Linker Spirit]] on themselves; they must have another Soul Linker cast it on them.

== Overview ==
TaeKwon Kids are practitioners of the art of TaeKwon-Do. They fore go the use of weapons and instead specialize in a variety of kicks. Their equipment is limited to equips that are usable by all jobs except novices. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule (i.e. {{item|id=2506 Manteaus}} and {{item|id=2406 Boots}} can be equipped by them).

''See [[TaeKwon_Master#Builds|TaeKwon Master Builds]] or [[Soul_Linker#Builds|Soul Linker Builds]] for second class stat builds.''

==== TaeKwon Ranker ====

TaeKwon rankers are permanent first class characters, utilizing the bonuses from the TaeKwon Missions/ranking system to maximize their potential. Rankers must complete TaeKwon Missions (see link below) in order to become and stay ranked.

Before getting the 9x ranker bonus (Giving 3x HP/SP, access to all TaeKwon skills), TaeKwon Kid's max HP is low (2676 hp at lvl 89 with 1 vit. 50 vit at the same level is 3975 hp), so agi builds are heavily advised for early levels if you're going to solo.

For a ranker, Agi serves 3 purposes. First is flee. Second is to trigger one of your stances (when you are 9x ranker, you will have all 4 stances active). The third is that once you have started kicking, Agi does, in fact, speed up the rate at which you kick. The kicks have an ASPD-based cooldown, and the higher your ASPD, the faster you can spam your kicks.

If you are WoE or PvP minded, getting vit at higher levels to create a hybrid build is a good idea.

Do not forget that you can get +10 str through spurt status.

==== Pure PvM ====
*[[STR]]: 110~130
*[[AGI]]: 80~100
*[[VIT]]: 20~30
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 40~50
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build relies heavily on aspd and flee to get the job done. You should be able to achieve 200+ flee easily, and can solo where most agi characters can go.The little bit of int is for regening sp once you become ranked. Spamming kicks, even though only 2 sp, eats at your sp slowly. You will be susceptible to stun and will be very fragile in pvp, defensively. You will also find that, as a 9x ranker, pots are mildly ineffective, relative to your maximum hp. (Since healing efficiency relies largely on your vit). Recommended starting kicks: Heel, Counter, and/or Roundhouse.

==== Hybrid PvP/PvM/WoE ====
*[[STR]]: 110~130
*[[AGI]]: 50~70
*[[VIT]]: 50~70
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 50~60
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is designed to do decently in PvM and pvp/WoE situations. For PvM, the build can hit 180 flee, with high damage per kick. Dex is raised to deal with agi classes. Compared to the Pure PvM build, this build will generally take a little longer to start your combos, but makes up for that with a tougher defense. Recommended starting kicks: Heel, Counter, and/or Roundhouse.

==== Pure PvP/WoE ====
*[[STR]]: 120~130
*[[AGI]]: 10~30
*[[VIT]]: 70~90
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 50~70
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is designed for purely PvP or WoE. High vit increases survivability, while sacrificing speed. Decrease in speed does 2 things: Delays the time it takes for a stance to activate to start comboing, and slows down emp breaking time (the active kick skills do not work on the emp, thus it cannot be combo'd). For emp breaking, The Hybrid build is probably better overall. Recommended starting kicks: Tornado and Counter. Vit chars tend to mob more to level, so tornado speeds up mob killing. Counter kick is there for a stronger kick. It was chosen over roundhouse because roundhouse will knock surrounding monsters back and stun them, putting them out of range for the follow up tornado. If you are not mobbing, Heel Drop and Counter kick are recommended.

Although the build might do better its job in PvP/WoE, note that doing your TaeKwon Missions to stay ranked, will become harder. The build lacks flee and although you have more defence, overall you will take more damage while doing a TaeKwon Misson.

=== Building a Ranker's Skills ===

In general, a ranker's skill build should have the following:

* 2 kicks maxed with stances (not flying kick/tumbling) - 16 points ''(if you are already in /taekwon, you can use one stance for triggering full combo)''
* [[Mild Wind]] 7 - 22 points (with pre-reqs)
* [[TaeKwon Mission]] - 1 point
* [[Sprint]] 10 - 10 points

==== Choosing your kicks ====

Choosing your 2 kicks is important. You will have these 2, and only these 2, until you become 9x and ranked.

To maximize your damage output on a single target, get counter and roundhouse (both are 400% damage kicks). Counter gives you 100% hit, and roundhouse has a high chance of stunning any monsters around you that you arent targeting.

To control the damage you receive as much as possible, get Heel Drop and Roundhouse. Once you get practice, you can delay use on your heel drop to keep the monster in a permanently stunned state, leaving you virtually undamaged. Using Roundhouse will stun the other monsters attacking, and knock them back. When they unstun, they may aggro someone else on screen.

Heel Drop and Counter Kick is another combination you can use to control incoming damage. While the 100% hit from counter isnt necessary if the target is stunned, counter's effects are much more predictable than what happens to the other monsters after roundhouse stun finishes.

If you have a tank/HP slave and/or are a pure vit build, tornado kick is recommended, since you have the ability to mob better than an agi class. It would be good to pair the 300% AoE tornado with a 400% kick. The advantages and disadvantages of Counter Kick and Roundhouse kick have been explained.

Once you are 9x and ranked all the kicks will become available. It's however recommended not to use all kicks. Best is to make a choice again between 2-3 kicks depending on the situation, see above. However, don't forget to prepare always all the 4 kick ''stances''. It will trigger your kicks faster, even if you do not use the right kick at the right first stance. Example: if you have prepared 4 stances but you use only 2 stances, the other 2 stances will still trigger the 2 stances you use.

==== Order of Skills ====

First off, you should get your 2nd kick last. Pick the one that you think would be more useful, and get it earlier. Heel drop is a solid top choice since a lot of monsters you will face will stun, allowing you to get free hits in.

Sprint should be the first or second skill you get. You dont have to get it maxed right away, but it helps for sp cost (if you have no sp gear). Since TaeKwons get no weapon, their damage is very low early on. Sprint compensates for this. Merely having the skill gives you defense-bypassing damage, more than low-to-mid levels of str will ever give.

Mild Wind should be after sprint, but its your choice on whether to get a kick first. It is recommended that you stop Mild Wind at 4 at first, then work on another skill (your kicks), especially if you are already ranked. Being able to combo spam kicks is more valuable than having shadow endow. This is because, for the most part, you will not be encountering any monsters weak to holy, shadow, or ghost before job 50 (few exceptions include zenorcs, low level undead that are also weak to fire, and thief bugs)

When you are working toward Mild Wind, get Kihop maxed first. This will unlock Taekwon mission early, as well as give you atk bonuses. When you're leveling on a map, ask people you run into if they wouldnt mind partying for your kihop (they dont have to be taekwon classes to affect your kihop). Most soloers will be nice and accept it. If you happen to run into the few jerks who won't, dont waste your time begging.

==== Stances ====
Stances must be toggled to use their corresponding kicks. The exception to this is [[Tumbling]] being toggled to use [[Flying Kick]], though due to their secondary functions they still should be categorized as such.

=== Level Up Angel ===

Taekwon Kids, [[Taekwon Master]]s and [[Soul Linker]]s share a unique level up angel that provides the following bonuses when a new base level is reached:
*[[Blessing]] Level 10 (10 minutes)
*[[Increase AGI]] Level 10 (10 minutes)

=== Happiness status ===
Happiness is a special status achievable by Taekwon-class characters by sitting next to each other and using the /doridori emote. It has no intrinsic bonuses, but entering it has a chance of wiping a [[Taekwon_Master|Taekwon Master's]] Solar, Lunar and Stellar designations. Also, the skill [[Happy_Break|Happy Break]] gives a high chance of [[Earth_Spike|Earth Spike]] [[Scroll]]s not being consumed when used.

== Overview ==
TaeKwon Master is a class for characters who have chosen TaeKwon Kid as their first profession and wish to continue in the ways of the TaeKwon. One of the most notable benefits that a TaeKwon Master has over a TaeKwon Kid is the ability to wield books to help deal more damage physically.
TaeKwon Master is an unusual class in that the majority of their skills are bound to the celestial bodies of the Sun (Solar), Moon (Lunar) and Stars (Stellar), and are very restricted in their use. These skills have three different restrictions in which they can be used, and are as follows:
*Certain skills can only be used on a day of their respective celestial body
*Some skills can only be used on maps that are designated as a place of a celestial body
*Other skills can only be used against enemies that are aligned as an enemy of a celestial body

The first restriction is unlike the latter two in that a TaeKwon master cannot change what day is representative of a celestial body; these days are already set. The setting for these celestial days is told in the mantra as follows:

The Sun shines brightest on even days. The Moon shines brightest on odd days. And the Stars shine without fail on every 5th day.
The second and third restriction can be set personally for each individual TaeKwon Master via their respective skills: Solar, Lunar and Stellar Perception and Solar, Lunar and Stellar Opposition.

However, there are also skills that are also bound by more than one restriction.

TaeKwon Masters are also known as '''Star Gladiators''' in other localizations of Ragnarok Online, which reflects the way how the skills of this class works.

If a TaeKwon Master ever finds the TaeKwon Master skill tree too confusing, a TaeKwon Master can always invest more skill points into the TaeKwon Kid skills, or observe the skills that are not restricted by the celestial bodies.

=== STR/VIT All-Purpose===

* STR: 110-130
* AGI: 1
* VIT: 90-110
* INT: 1
* DEX: 1
* LUK: 1-9

The STR/VIT build is an all-purpose TKM build that benefits from increased survivability and healing item efficiency while still maintaining high damage output through [[Solar,_Lunar_and_Stellar_Union|Union]] and [[Solar Heat|S]][[Lunar Heat|L]][[Stellar Heat|S]] Heat. High-end activities include Thors, Somatology Labs, MVPing, and anywhere else that may involve the TKM tanking or receiving damage. High maximum HP allows the TKM to tank and kill large mobs of monsters with Heat effortlessly, accompanied by more efficient potion consumption.

=== STR/DEX Specialized ===

* STR: 110-130
* AGI: 1
* VIT: 20-40
* INT: 1
* DEX: 100-120
* LUK: 1-9

The STR/DEX build is a specialized TKM build that maximizes [[Solar Heat|S]][[Lunar Heat|L]][[Stellar Heat|S]] Heat damage. Because of the nature of the build, their attacks tend to yield the highest damage of all TKM builds. Due to the high amount of DEX, the TKM can naturally hit most monsters and is independent from using [[Solar,_Lunar_and_Stellar_Union|Union]]. Though their damage output is exceptionally high, STR/DEX TKMs are more fragile and usually require a separate tank character to be able to perform effectively.

=== AGI Kicker ===

* STR: 110-130
* AGI: 70-90 base
* VIT: 1-50 base
* INT: 1-12 base
* DEX: 50-70 total w/ buffs
* LUK: 1-20 base

The AGI build is a DPS build that uses speed, [[TaeKwon Kid|TK Kid]] kicks, [[Solar, Lunar and Stellar Shadow|Shadow]], [[Stellar Protection|Stellar Protection]], and [[Solar Wrath|S]][[Lunar Wrath|L]][[Stellar Wrath|S]] Wrath to dispatch monsters quickly. [[Solar Heat|S]][[Lunar Heat|L]][[Stellar Heat|S]] Heat will help to push mobs back so flee isn't reduced.

=== Zoom ===
All TKM's have the ability to zoom out farther than other classes while sitting down. Simply sit down and zoom out to see. (5x more zooming out)

=== Level Up Angel ===

[[Taekwon Kid]]s, Taekwon Masters and [[Soul Linker]]s share a unique level up angel that provides the following bonuses when a new base level is reached:
*[[Blessing]] Level 10 (10 minutes)
*[[Increase AGI]] Level 10 (10 minutes)

== Resetting your places of the Sun/Moon/Stars ==

TaeKwon Masters can reset maps designated as Places of the Sun/Moon/Stars. The TaeKwon Master must be sitting beside another TaeKwon class ([[Soul Linker]], [[TaeKwon Kid]] or another TaeKwon Master) and be regenerating [[HP]] (that is, your HP must not be full). It is speculated that being in Happy Mode is also required. Spamming the /doridori emote repeatedly is not necessary, but it is needed to enter Happy Mode. You can tell that you are in Happy Mode because you regenerate an additional +3 SP over the regular Happy Break effects. The chance to reset the maps occurs every 10 seconds (on each [[Peaceful Break]] HP tick). In order to ensure that you are continually regenerating HP, you can switch an HP-increasing item on and off, or use something which drains HP, like a rideword hat, combined with low HP regeneration. '''The chance of the reset occurring is very low, sometimes taking many hours or days to be successful.'''

== Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Miracle ==
As the Taekwon Master wanders the land and gazes at the sky, a blessing unlike any other may be endowed upon him. Solar, Lunar, and Stellar Miracle will grant the Taekwon Master the ability to use all Solar, Lunar, and Stellar-aligned skills on any map on any day of the week. The moon will eclipse the sun and the stars will shine brightly, making the world around the Taekwon Master go dark (the effect is similar to the darkness caused by a Soul Link). This means offensive and supporting skills are stacked as well. The effect lasts for one hour and disappears if the player logs off or switches maps.

== Overview ==
Soul Linkers give up the ways of TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of their ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the abilities of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.

Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to [[Wizard|Wizards]] and [[Sage|Sages]], their spells are severely limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to [[Mild Wind]] they can use powerful [[Holy]], [[Ghost]], and [[Shadow]] magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of [[PvM]] or [[PvP]] & [[WoE]] options. Although casters, Linkers, like Sages, can go melee.

They have relatively low [[HP]], but better [[SP]] than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so [[INT]] is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need for [[DEX]] compared to other magic-using classes. With some [[VIT]] and their defensive magic, coupled with [[TaeKwon Kid]]'s [[Tumbling]], they can be quite good tankers.

A unique thing about Soul Linkers is that they are naturally immune to [[Dispell]].

== Jobchange Guide ==
{{:Soul Linker Job Change Guide}}
== Builds ==
=== PvM Battle ===
*[[STR]]: 70-99
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-44
*[[INT]]: 18-48
*[[DEX]]: 18-48
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is unique in that it uses a Linker's ability to equip and fight with daggers. Usually they equip a carded Gladius[3], or a Dagger of Counter, while using [[Mild Wind]] to maximize their damage. The stat distribution shown above can be adjusted as you wish. You can go less STR but more AGI (hence having higher Aspd but lower damage) or more STR but less AGI (hence lower Aspd but having higher damage). The INT and DEX stats are slightly dependent on your budget. Usually those who can't afford a Dagger of Counter (which may be expensive in some servers) need more DEX as they tend to use a carded Gladius[3] instead, and thus require more DEX to gain more HIT so they can hit monsters. This comes at the cost of having less INT (which means you depend on Kaina for SP even more). If you can afford to buy a Dagger of Counter, you can go less DEX as Crits ignore your Hit and the opponent's Flee, and you can go with higher INT (which means more SP to use buffs and for [[Kaahi]]). You also can get more VIT by sacrificing DEX, but only if you use Dagger of Counter. Otherwise, if you need VIT, you better sacrifice another stat. The odd amount of INT & DEX are because Linkers get +12 DEX and INT Job Bonus, thus having Base INT & DEX that ends with 8 will round it up, and the above stats takes only Job Bonus into account. Same applies to the odd VIT ending in 4, this is because Soul Linker gets +6 VIT Job Bonus. As for Skills, you can mix Spirit skills with Ka- skills, and maybe a few points on some non-damaging Es- skills like [[Eske]] or [[Eswoo]]. Or you can go full Spirit skills or full Ka- skills. Maxed [[Kaina]] is good for boosting your SP, since a Battle Linker tends to have lower SP pool, and therefore would have problems with constant usage of [[Kaahi]] and [[Mild Wind]]. Also, there might be times when you have to go support your friend instead of dealing damage - the SP boost from Kaina helps in this case.

===MvP / PvM Esma Dex Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 9
*[[VIT]]: 1
*[[INT]]: 120+
*[[DEX]]: 99+
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is obviously used to maximize Esma damage combined with Mild Wind within the shortest time. As shown, this setting allows the linker to be the primary damage dealer within the party. Agi and Vit aren't needed as this is damage-only. Just stand behind the tanker quickly casting Esma over and over to help get things going. The 9 Str is just for a higher weight limit to carry whatever items are needed.
This build decreases Esma cast time and delivers maximum damage, but also drains sp faster. To overcome this shortage it is best to have the skill [[Kaina]] to increase maximum sp and cut Es-type skill cost as well as having a priest cast [[Magnificat]] on the party, or using sp related equipments (Ex. {{item |id=2518 Morpheus's Shawl}}), cards (Ex. {{item |id=4100 Sohee Card}}) and potions (Ex. {{item |id=505 Blue Potion}}) to last longer.

===PvM Esma Vit Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 50-99
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-50
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

Mainly the same as the Dex Bolter type, but allows for tanking big monsters with heavy skills and completely heal with normal hits after. They don't need high Dex, because Esma Base-cast time is pretty low anyways.

===PvM Esma Hybrid Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1-9
*[[VIT]]: 40-70
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 60-80
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This is a mix of Dex Bolter and Vit Bolter combining fast casting and middle-level tanking skills.

===PvM Esma Agi Bolter ===
*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 70-99
*[[VIT]]: 1-20
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 1-40
*[[LUK]]: 1-9

This build is an extraordinary one. They level - like the other bolters - with Esma only, but instead of getting hit and automatically get healed by [[Kaahi]], they dodge 95% of normal attacks and don't "waste" SP. They have a disadvantage compared to Vit- and Dex Bolter (slow cast,
low HP), but - depending on where you level - have less problemstrouble with SP regeneration.
Agi Bolters usually get [[Kaupe]] the other 5% hit (non-dodge) too.

===WoE Support ===

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 20-50
*[[INT]]: 90-99
*[[DEX]]: 70-90
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build focuses on WoE with Ka and Spirit Link Skills. They get only a few to none Es skills, as those are usable in PvM only. Their most important spells are Kaite, Kaupe for support, and Bard, Dancer, and Soul Linker Spirits for buffs. The rest are chosen from the remaining Ka spells. Assassin, Rogue, and Wizard Spirits are often preferable. Their leveling methods are either leeching or supporting parties with Kaupe, Eska/Eske and the Spirit Skills.

===WoE Support (Vit Type)===
(Stats including Bonus)

*[[STR]]: 1
*[[AGI]]: 1
*[[VIT]]: 80-90
*[[INT]]: 90-100
*[[DEX]]: 60-70
*[[LUK]]: 9

This build is just like the normal WoE Support Soul Linker, but this one doesn't have to fear the battlefield. During field battle, this SL fights with Swordbreaker/Mailbreaker and Blast/Envenom Clip.

===Ka-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build uses its Ka skills to maximize melee prowess. Since only 38 skill points must be used to max out all the Ka skills, the rest can go towards Es skills or spirits. The stat layout given is deliberately basic, leaving a lot of space for personal preference and experimentation.

===Spirit-melee-type===
*[[STR]]: 90+
*[[AGI]]: 30+
*[[VIT]]: 40+
*[[INT]]: 60+
*[[DEX]]: 30+
*[[LUK]]: 1-3

This build is different from it's Ka counterpart in that it uses spirit skills to buff it's friends while fighting alongside them. A few skillpoints must be invested in Ka skills (Particularly, a few levels in Kaahi) to compensate for the soul linker's weak defense. Exact spirit skills taken depend on your own party preference. Again, you'll have plenty of statpoints left over after you hit these ''minimum'' stats to distribute any way you like and experiment.

== Equipment ==
=== Headgear ===
Soul Linkers are limited to Mage headgear and any that are usable by all classes except novice. However, some headgear have extra bonuses for Taekwon classes (which includes Soul Linkers):

{{Item List |id=5173 |item=Magistrate Hat |slots=1}}
:+1 Agi, +3% HP regen.
{{Item List |id=5177 |item=Mythical Lion Mask |slots=1}}
:+2 Dex, 10% chance to inflict stun with a melee attack, +2 ATK per upgrade.
{{Item List |id=5169 |item=Bride Mask |slots=1}}
:+5 crit, +2 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5176 |item=Hahoe Mask}}
:+2 Perfect dodge, +1 Luk.
{{Item List |id=5174 |item=Ayam |slots=1}}
:+1 Int, +3% SP regen.

But if you cannot afford the above headgears, there's always Apple of Archer, and the much cheaper Wizard Hat.

{{Item List |id=2285 |item=Apple of Archer}}
:+3 Dex. ''Usually not as cheap and easy to get as "Wizard Hat", but the price is normally still reachable.''

{{Item List |id=2252 |item=Wizard Hat}}
:+100 MaxSP. ''Cheaper, easy-to-get headgear that is suitable for those who cannot afford expensive fancy headgears.''

=== Footgear ===

Soul Linkers can wear Sandals (and Sandals[1]), Shoes (and Shoes[1]), High Fashion Sandals[1], and all footgear usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Armor ===

Soul Linkers are limited to Mage-class armor and armor usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Garment ===

Soul Linkers can wear Hood (and Hood[1]), Muffler (and Muffler[1]), as well as Mage-class garments and those usable by "all classes except novice".

=== Shield ===

{{Item List |id=2101 |item=Guard |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2102 |item=Guard |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3.
{{Item List |id=2109 |item=Memory Book |slots=0}}
{{Item List |id=2121 |item=Memory Book |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+2, [[INT]]+1.
{{Item List |id=2115 |item=Valkyrja's Shield |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, [[MDEF]]+5, -20% damage from [[Fire]], [[Water]], [[Shadow]], [[Undead]] elements.
{{Item List |id=2114 |item=Stone Buckler |slots=1}}
:[[DEF]]+3, -5% damage from [[Large]] size.

=== Accessory ===

Soul Linkers can equip various accessories, such as {{item |id=2607 Clip}}, {{item |id=2658 Nile Rose}}, as well as the stat-boosting generic accessories such as {{item |id=2604 Glove}}, {{item |id=2601 Ring}}, {{item |id=2602 Earring}}, {{item |id=2603 Necklace}}, and of course, their "Level 90+" slotted version.
The easiest option, though, is a Clip. Aside from that, there are other accessories that Soul Linkers can equip, but those mentioned above are what people usually use. If you have the money, and you are level 80 or higher, you can use {{item |id=2716 Librarian Glove}} or {{item |id=2783 Eye Stone Ring}} instead, which, to Linkers, are essentially a Clip with a better SP bonus.

=== Weapon ===

Soul Linkers can fight unarmed, keeping the bonuses from the [[Sprint]] skill, or use [[Dagger]]s and [[Rod]]s.
Usually, rods are to be used for [[Esma]] or supportive play styles. Most daggers are only better than fists when they're carded, especially against large enemies.

{{Item List |id=1242 |item=Dagger of Counter}}
:[[ATK]]+140, [[Crit]]+90. ''Provides better damage output compared to fighting unarmed, especially if the opponent has high defense.''

==== Notes ====
===== TK Skills =====
Once a TaeKwon Kid changes into a Soul Linker, only the following TK skills may be used: [[Tumbling]], [[Sprint]], [[Peaceful Break]], [[Happy Break]], [[Kihop]], [[Leap]], [[Mild Wind]].

===== Es Skills =====
Es spells are offensive magic. This type can be cast only on monsters. Casting them on players causes the skill to fail and the caster to be stunned (even in PvP/WoE conditions).

===== Ka Skills =====
Ka spells are defensive magic. By default the caster can use this only on themself, their spouse or their child, or other Soul Linkers. Unless the user is linked with the [[Soul Linker Spirit]], using these skills on anyone else causes them to fail and the caster to be stunned.

===== Spirit Link Skills =====
These skills imbue other characters with special abilities for a time depending on skill level. Each class has their own Spirit Link that can only be cast upon them.

* Transcendent second classes can utilize the Spirit Link of their original second class.
* Soul Linkers cannot use the [[Soul Linker Spirit]] on themselves; they must have another Soul Linker cast it on them.

== Overview ==
TaeKwon Kids are practitioners of the art of TaeKwon-Do. They fore go the use of weapons and instead specialize in a variety of kicks. Their equipment is limited to equips that are usable by all jobs except novices. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule (i.e. {{item|id=2506 Manteaus}} and {{item|id=2406 Boots}} can be equipped by them).

== Jobchange Guide ==

''See [[First_Expanded_Change_Guides#TaeKwon_Kid|TaeKwon Kid Job Change Guide]] for information.''
== Builds ==

=== Stat Builds ===

''See [[TaeKwon_Master#Builds|TaeKwon Master Builds]] or [[Soul_Linker#Builds|Soul Linker Builds]] for second class stat builds.''

==== TaeKwon Ranker ====

TaeKwon rankers are permanent first class characters, utilizing the bonuses from the TaeKwon Missions/ranking system to maximize their potential. Rankers must complete TaeKwon Missions (see link below) in order to become and stay ranked.

Before getting the 9x ranker bonus (Giving 3x HP/SP, access to all TaeKwon skills), TaeKwon Kid's max HP is low (2676 hp at lvl 89 with 1 vit. 50 vit at the same level is 3975 hp), so agi builds are heavily advised for early levels if you're going to solo.

For a ranker, Agi serves 3 purposes. First is flee. Second is to trigger one of your stances (when you are 9x ranker, you will have all 4 stances active). The third is that once you have started kicking, Agi does, in fact, speed up the rate at which you kick. The kicks have an ASPD-based cooldown, and the higher your ASPD, the faster you can spam your kicks.

If you are WoE or PvP minded, getting vit at higher levels to create a hybrid build is a good idea.

Do not forget that you can get +10 str through spurt status.

==== Pure PvM ====
*[[STR]]: 110~130
*[[AGI]]: 80~100
*[[VIT]]: 20~30
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 40~50
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build relies heavily on aspd and flee to get the job done. You should be able to achieve 200+ flee easily, and can solo where most agi characters can go.The little bit of int is for regening sp once you become ranked. Spamming kicks, even though only 2 sp, eats at your sp slowly. You will be susceptible to stun and will be very fragile in pvp, defensively. You will also find that, as a 9x ranker, pots are mildly ineffective, relative to your maximum hp. (Since healing efficiency relies largely on your vit). Recommended starting kicks: Heel, Counter, and/or Roundhouse.

==== Hybrid PvP/PvM/WoE ====
*[[STR]]: 110~130
*[[AGI]]: 50~70
*[[VIT]]: 50~70
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 50~60
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is designed to do decently in PvM and pvp/WoE situations. For PvM, the build can hit 180 flee, with high damage per kick. Dex is raised to deal with agi classes. Compared to the Pure PvM build, this build will generally take a little longer to start your combos, but makes up for that with a tougher defense. Recommended starting kicks: Heel, Counter, and/or Roundhouse.

==== Pure PvP/WoE ====
*[[STR]]: 120~130
*[[AGI]]: 10~30
*[[VIT]]: 70~90
*[[INT]]: 1~12
*[[DEX]]: 50~70
*[[LUK]]: 1

This build is designed for purely PvP or WoE. High vit increases survivability, while sacrificing speed. Decrease in speed does 2 things: Delays the time it takes for a stance to activate to start comboing, and slows down emp breaking time (the active kick skills do not work on the emp, thus it cannot be combo'd). For emp breaking, The Hybrid build is probably better overall. Recommended starting kicks: Tornado and Counter. Vit chars tend to mob more to level, so tornado speeds up mob killing. Counter kick is there for a stronger kick. It was chosen over roundhouse because roundhouse will knock surrounding monsters back and stun them, putting them out of range for the follow up tornado. If you are not mobbing, Heel Drop and Counter kick are recommended.

Although the build might do better its job in PvP/WoE, note that doing your TaeKwon Missions to stay ranked, will become harder. The build lacks flee and although you have more defence, overall you will take more damage while doing a TaeKwon Misson.

=== Building a Ranker's Skills ===

In general, a ranker's skill build should have the following:

* 2 kicks maxed with stances (not flying kick/tumbling) - 16 points ''(if you are already in /taekwon, you can use one stance for triggering full combo)''
* [[Mild Wind]] 7 - 22 points (with pre-reqs)
* [[TaeKwon Mission]] - 1 point
* [[Sprint]] 10 - 10 points

==== Choosing your kicks ====

Choosing your 2 kicks is important. You will have these 2, and only these 2, until you become 9x and ranked.

To maximize your damage output on a single target, get counter and roundhouse (both are 400% damage kicks). Counter gives you 100% hit, and roundhouse has a high chance of stunning any monsters around you that you arent targeting.

To control the damage you receive as much as possible, get Heel Drop and Roundhouse. Once you get practice, you can delay use on your heel drop to keep the monster in a permanently stunned state, leaving you virtually undamaged. Using Roundhouse will stun the other monsters attacking, and knock them back. When they unstun, they may aggro someone else on screen.

Heel Drop and Counter Kick is another combination you can use to control incoming damage. While the 100% hit from counter isnt necessary if the target is stunned, counter's effects are much more predictable than what happens to the other monsters after roundhouse stun finishes.

If you have a tank/HP slave and/or are a pure vit build, tornado kick is recommended, since you have the ability to mob better than an agi class. It would be good to pair the 300% AoE tornado with a 400% kick. The advantages and disadvantages of Counter Kick and Roundhouse kick have been explained.

Once you are 9x and ranked all the kicks will become available. It's however recommended not to use all kicks. Best is to make a choice again between 2-3 kicks depending on the situation, see above. However, don't forget to prepare always all the 4 kick ''stances''. It will trigger your kicks faster, even if you do not use the right kick at the right first stance. Example: if you have prepared 4 stances but you use only 2 stances, the other 2 stances will still trigger the 2 stances you use.

==== Order of Skills ====

First off, you should get your 2nd kick last. Pick the one that you think would be more useful, and get it earlier. Heel drop is a solid top choice since a lot of monsters you will face will stun, allowing you to get free hits in.

Sprint should be the first or second skill you get. You dont have to get it maxed right away, but it helps for sp cost (if you have no sp gear). Since TaeKwons get no weapon, their damage is very low early on. Sprint compensates for this. Merely having the skill gives you defense-bypassing damage, more than low-to-mid levels of str will ever give.

Mild Wind should be after sprint, but its your choice on whether to get a kick first. It is recommended that you stop Mild Wind at 4 at first, then work on another skill (your kicks), especially if you are already ranked. Being able to combo spam kicks is more valuable than having shadow endow. This is because, for the most part, you will not be encountering any monsters weak to holy, shadow, or ghost before job 50 (few exceptions include zenorcs, low level undead that are also weak to fire, and thief bugs)

When you are working toward Mild Wind, get Kihop maxed first. This will unlock Taekwon mission early, as well as give you atk bonuses. When you're leveling on a map, ask people you run into if they wouldnt mind partying for your kihop (they dont have to be taekwon classes to affect your kihop). Most soloers will be nice and accept it. If you happen to run into the few jerks who won't, dont waste your time begging.

=== Level Up Angel ===

Taekwon Kids, [[Taekwon Master]]s and [[Soul Linker]]s share a unique level up angel that provides the following bonuses when a new base level is reached:
*[[Blessing]] Level 10 (10 minutes)
*[[Increase AGI]] Level 10 (10 minutes)

=== Happiness status ===
Happiness is a special status achievable by Taekwon-class characters by sitting next to each other and using the /doridori emote. It has no intrinsic bonuses, but entering it has a chance of wiping a [[Taekwon_Master|Taekwon Master's]] Solar, Lunar and Stellar designations. Also, the skill [[Happy_Break|Happy Break]] gives a high chance of [[Earth_Spike|Earth Spike]] [[Scroll]]s not being consumed when used.

Onijas: Add Ninja class on the "jumping exception"

==Keyboard and Mouse Usage==
RO's character movement is entirely controlled by the mouse. The keyboard is used for chatting, typing manual commands, changing the camera angle, and using skills quickly. Jumping in Ragnarok Online is not possible with the exception of the [[TaeKwon Kid|TaeKwon]] class and [[Ninja]] class.
===Mouse Controls===

The mouse controls the following actions in RO:

*Movement: Left-click a cell to move to it. Hold down the left mouse button for continuous movement. If the cell is not highlighted or is highlighted in red, that place is impossible to reach.

*Camera:
**''Changing the side view'': Hold down the right mouse button and the cursor will become two arrows curving left and right. Move the mouse left [while holding the right mouse button] and the camera will rotate around the character to the left. Likewise, moving the mouse right will rotate the camera to the right.
**''Changing magnification'': Roll the mouse-wheel to zoom in and out. To do this without a mouse-wheel, hold the Ctrl key, right mouse button, and move the mouse.
**;;Changing the overview;;: Hold the Shift key and move the mouse (wheel) up/down to change the height of the camera. To lower the height of the camera even more, hold both Ctrl + shift and move the mouse (wheel) up/down.
**''Resetting to the default view'': Quickly right-click twice to reset the view to face north. Hold the Shift key and quickly right-click twice to reset the camera's position.

*Character Interaction: Right-click another character and a window will pop up with a list of actions to choose from. Some options only appear under certain circumstances.

*Item/Skill Description: Right-click an item or skill and a window will pop up giving detailed information on that particular item or skill.

*Drag-n-Drop: Allows the player to equip items, move items to the trade window or Kafra storage window, or drop items on the ground for someone else to pick up. The player can also drag-n-drop skills into the shortcut bar. NOTE: Drag-n-drop may be blocked if your equipment window is open.

*Auto-Follow another character: Hold Shift and right click on the target player to auto-follow him/her. This character will keep following the target until you attack or use a targeted skill. Note that /noctrl and /noshift need to be disabled in order to work.

===Keyboard Controls===

By default, F1 to F9 keys are used for quick access to most-used skills, items, and equipments. Chat anytime by typing in the dialog box and then pressing enter. Battlemode (/bm) significantly changes this aspect and is detailed below in the "In-Game Commands" section. The keyboard is not used to move your character.

Conversations with NPCs include:

*NPC illustration - Not all NPCs have this.
*Dialogue box - This is a window that shows what the NPC is saying.
*Interactive dialogue box - Sometimes, this window will appear below the main dialogue box with a selection of what to say to the NPC.

Notable NPCs:

*[[Kafra]] Workers - These NPCs are essential to Ragnarok Online and serve the following functions:
**Storage access - Allows items to be stored.
**Cart Rentals - Allows Merchant classes to rent carts.
**Teleportation - Allows traveling to other cities instantly.
**Saving - Allows setting a "Save Point". Using a butterfly wing will return the character to this Save Point. Also, should the character die, the player may choose to return to the Save Point.

NOTE: Not all Kafras offer all of these services.

*Town Guards - These NPCs are guides and can tell the location of important places in town.

NOTE: While interacting with NPCs, the character cannot move. '''If a player is moving when activating an NPC dialogue, they will be disconnected.'''

Player versus Player

Onijas: Creating Player versus Player

''For more information on other PvP aside from the classic arenas, see [[War of Emperium]], [[War of Emperium 2]], and [[Battlegrounds]].''

Players looking to combat their friends, foes, or strangers can do so in the form of a PvP (Player versus Player) arena or other game features.

== PvP System ==
Many cities have Inns that allow entrance to the PvP arena. Speaking to the Gate Entrance [[NPC]] brings up three options:

*'''Yoyo Mode''' - The 'safe' PvP mode, where death does not cause [[EXP]] loss or items to drop.
*'''Nightmare Mode''' - This mode was not very popular as there are are penalties upon death: EXP is lost, and there is a 1% chance to drop (and probably lose to another player) an item. (Currently disabled in iRO)
*'''Event Room''' - Restricted for events only.

After deciding which mode to use, there is a 500z fee to enter the Waiting Room in addition to the Level 31 requirement.

In the only current working mode, Yoyo Mode, there is just one NPC towards the North East that is the gateway to different maps where PvP is enabled and characters of all levels above 31 can enter. The level-specific rooms and corresponding NPCs were removed.

Select a map from this NPC to be automatically teleported to said map and spawn at a random point in that map. The available maps (which are not the actual cities, but scenaries located on a different server with PvP enabled that are accessable only through the Waiting Room; they do not even have NPCs on them) are:

*[[Prontera]]
*[[Izlude]]
*[[Alberta]]
*[[Payon]]
*[[Morroc]]

Once selecting a map, the player has 5 seconds of invulnerability upon spawning unless they move their character before this time ends. Then, they can immediately partake in PvP.

There are a few things that should be noted on PvP maps. The lower right of the screen now displays the player's rank in that map (i.e. 6/9: where 6 is the current rank in that map and 9 indicates the current number of people on that map). The goal is to kill numerous amounts of players while staying alive.

The scoring system works as such: upon entering a PvP map, the player is given 5 points. There is +1 point for every kill made on that map, and -5 points for every death of the player. If the points go lower than 0, the player will be booted out of the PvP map immediately without the chance to be [[Resurrection|Resurrected]] by a friend.

People within the top 10 rank of a map will have a graphic under their characters' feet. This graphics turn to a white colour the closer they become to rank 1. When rank 1 is achieved, then message 'TIME ATTACK!!' will appear on only the screen of the person who achieved the rank, and the game will begin to record the amount of time said player stays at rank 1 (also displayed for that player, but only for that session). This data is then saved, to be posted on the official site. Currently, iRO does not make use of this feature of the PvP arena.

All skills and items work in PvP arenas except the usage of Fly Wings and [[Teleport]]. For example, the Teleport feature of [[Snatch]] is disabled (which also applies to Wanderer-carded Garments).

To exit a PvP map, the player must relog, use a Butterfly Wing, be killed and respawn, or make use of another player's [[Warp Portal]] skill. There is no gate leading outside of the map.

== Other PvP Features ==

Other than the classic PvP arenas, a number of other features are also available for players with different rewards and mechanics.

=== Battlegrounds ===
:''For information on the Battlegrounds system, see [[Battlegrounds]]''

Battlegrounds is a PVP system in which two teams compete towards specific objectives in various arenas, and has unique equipment and consumable rewards for participation. Three arenas are used for battlegrounds matches: Flavius, Tierra Gorge, and Kreiger Von Midgard (KVM). Each arena has different objectives and rewards. Recruiter NPCs to teleport players to the Battlegrounds atrium can be found in most Rune Midgard cities.

=== War of Emperium ===
:''For information on WoE, see [[War of Emperium]] and [[War of Emperium 2]]''

War of Emperium is a periodic PVP feature which takes place twice a week at certain times. Guilds fight other guilds for control of designated WoE castles. 20 castles are available for WoE 1, and 10 for WoE 2. Specialized mechanics and rules apply for WoE.

=== PK Server ===
This server is not available in all localizations of Ragnarok Online. iRO does not have or plan to have such a server type. For more information, see [[PK Servers]].
