Subclass Certification Skills Guide and Charts

Important Note: This article has been left only as an online reference and is not going to be updated anymore. To get the latest version with more detailed information, lots of fixed errors and a full-blown view of the Divine Transformations, download my Lineage 2 Certification System Explained FREE Guide.

You can learn new skills on your main class according to the subclasses you have.

Subclass certifications which are needed to learn these skills can be acquired from one of the Avant-Guarde NPCs on the 2nd floor (Human floor) in Ivory Tower.

In order to be able to acquire certifications you must first complete the quest More Than Meets The Eye which can be taken from Hardin at Hardin’s Private Academy.

There are a maximum of 4 skills available per subclass, which means you can have a total of 12 subclass skills once you have all 3 of your subclasses leveled up to 80. The different certifications can be acquired once you have reached these levels on your subclasses:

• 65 level on your subclass – a Emergent skill certificate
• 70 level on your subclass – another Emergent skill certificate
• 75 level on your subclass – you have a choice between a Class-Specific or a Master skill certificate
• 80 level on your subclass – a Divine Transformation certificate

Removing and resetting subclass skills

Deleting a subclass to reroll a new one will not erase the subclass skills you’ve already learned, but you won’t be able to learn additional skills from your new subclass for the levels you’ve already acquired certificates. E.g., you have learned two Emergent skills from the 65 and 70 levels of your subclass respectively, then you reroll a new subclass, but you can’t acquire certificates for level 65 and 70 of the new subclass unless you erase your previous subskills.

You can only remove all subskills from all subclasses on your main class. This is done by paying 10 million adena to Avant-Guarde NPC. You cannot chose which subskills to remove.

Certificates in your inventory that you haven’t used up yet are also deleted when you pay 10 million adena to erase your subclass skills.

Subclass categories

Subclasses are categorized broadly as Warrior, Rogue, Knight, Summoner, Wizard, Healer and Enchanter. The Class-Specific and Divine Transformation subclass skills available to you through certification depend on the categories of your subclasses, as follows:

• Warrior: Warlord, Gladiator, Destroyer, Tyrant, Bounty Hunter, Warsmith, Berserker, Soul Breaker (Male), Soul Breaker (Female)
• Rogue: Hawkeye, Silver Ranger, Phantom Ranger, Arbalester, Treasure Hunter, Plainswalker, Abyss Walker
• Knight: Paladin, Dark Avenger, Temple Knight, Shillien Knight
• Summoner: Warlock, Elemental Summoner, Phantom Summoner
• Wizard: Sorcerer, Necromancer, Spellsinger, Spellhowler
• Healer: Bishop, Elven Elder, Shillien Elder
• Enchanter: Prophet, Swordsinger, Bladedancer, Warcryer, Overlord, Inspector (Male), Inspector (Female)

Skills list and effects

What follwos is a complete list of available skills, with exact effects and bonuses (some not confirmed).

Emergent Abilities

These skills are avaialable regardless of the category your subclass falls to.

Emergent abilities can be stacked up, with a maximum of level 6 if you chose to learn the same skill from both 65 and 70 certificates for each of your 3 subclasses. E.g., you get 6 Emergent Ability certificates from all your subs and use all of them to learn the Physical Defense skill. In the end you get Lv6 of the Physical Defense skill.

Note: The increase amounts for each skill level in the tables down below are pre-calculated. E.g. Lv2 of the Attack skill gives +42 P. Atk. increase overall, not 22 (lv1 bonus) + 42.

Divine Transformation Ability skills

You receive a seal book of transformation instead of certificate for these skills. You can learn them via the transformation menu on the Avan-Guard NPC

Divine Transformations, although more sophisticated, follow the rules for regular transformations. This means you cannot use your regular class skills, your subclass skills remain active, your stats are determined by your equipment and the class type of the Divine Transformation in use.

Reuse time, Sacrifice Skill and Transformation level

Each Divine Transformation lasts 30 minutes and has a cooldown/reuse time of 3 hours.

Each Divine Transformation has its specific Sacrifice Skill. All sacrifice skills bring your HP and MP down to zero for a certain amount of time during which you can’t be healed through skills or potions. The Sacrifice Skill usage conditions depend on the type of your subclass: Fighter-type subclasses – 30% or lower HP; Mystic-type subclasses – 10% or lower MP.

Each transformation can be learned up to level 3 if you happen to have more than one subclass of the same type. E.g., if you have 2 Warrior-type subclasses and they’ve reached level 80, you can learn Warrior Divine Transformation level 2. If you have 3, the transformation learned would be level 3.
