Skill Changes

What the Skill Changes page is and a quick tour of how KuroMS rebalanced every class, from the baseline critical hits and double jump that every character gets to the reworked 4th job skills.

What the Skill Changes page is

The Skill Changes page is the official list of every skill KuroMS has changed compared to the classic v83 game. It is generated from the game's own skill data, grouped by class and job advancement, and lists the current max-level values of each changed skill. At the time of writing it covers 623 skills across 8 class groups.

Always current: This guide is a summary. The full, always-current list lives on the Skill Changes page, so check it before planning a build.
