Gameplay Guide
Link Skills
Eligible characters on the same account lend progression bonuses to the character you are playing. Link Skills are calculated from each other character's Total Level or Reborn count.
Link bonus by job and Total Level
Link Skills
Each eligible character contributes the milestone value for its Total Level. A Reborn character uses the separate Reborn formula described below.

The job-change script assigns Kain to Dawn Warrior (1112, Total Damage), Kanna to Blaze Wizard (1212, Exp Rate), Pathfinder to Wind Archer (1312, Ignore Def. Rate), and Ark to Thunder Breaker (1512, OverPower). The server maps Corsair to Total Damage and Buccaneer to Boss Damage; the image shows those effects reversed. Mercedes, Thunder Breaker, Dawn Warrior, Blaze Wizard and Wind Archer are also mapped by the server and appear as additional rows.
Account-wide contributions
The server reads every character belonging to the same account and excludes the character currently receiving the bonuses. Every other character with a supported job contributes independently; there is no manual slot selection or requirement for the contributing character to be online.
- The Link NPC displays each other character and its contribution. A character with 0 Reborns and Total Level below 500 appears locked; characters with Reborns use the override described below.
- The eligible class list is specific: the server checks the listed job IDs rather than granting a bonus to every class in a broader branch.
When bonuses update
Link values are loaded during the receiving character's login and then included in its local stat calculation. If another character on the account reaches a new Total Level milestone or gains a Reborn while the recipient is already online, log the recipient out and back in to refresh its Link bonuses.
Reborn replaces the level milestone
For an eligible contributing character with at least one Reborn, the server ignores the normal Total Level table and assigns 100,000% per Reborn. A character with zero Reborns uses only the Total Level milestone table.
Supported effects and inactive values
The active Link calculation supports Boss Damage, Overpower, Total Damage, All Stats, EXP Rate, Drop Rate, Meso Rate and Ignore Defense. LinkIDP and LinkRESIST fields exist in the character code, but this calculation never adds values to them; LinkIDP is also not included by the active Item Drop Power getter. They are not listed as working Link bonuses here.
