Link Skills is one of the best ways to improve a character's ability. Basically, newer jobs have Link Skills to boost their abilities. When these newer characters hits a higher level, their skill can be given to another character of the same world same account without losing its own one.

Mechanics[edit]

  • A character can receive up till 12 different link skills, excluding the one originated from that same character, so you cannot get all the link skills available in the game for one character.
  • You can transfer the link skill using that original character (owner) of the link skill. Transfer is available 10 times daily [1], so if you transferred the link skill to different characters 10 times in a single day, you have to wait till the next day in order to change the target character of the skill. The first 4 transfers are free of charge; the 5th transfer costs 5,000,000 mesos and each subsequent transfer costs an additional 1,000,000 mesos (up to a maximum of 10m mesos for the 10th and final transfer).
  • Only up till 2 characters can get the same link skill: The target and the owner.
  • A character cannot get the same link skill twice. Link skills that require multiple characters can be stacked if the characters are of different jobs.
  • You can transfer the link skill only at Level 70, except for Rhinne's Blessing which can be transferred after getting the first Goddess Teardrop from its Storyline Quest at level 118.
  • For MSEA and KMS, link skills are capped at the equivalent of Character Level 200 (no Skill Level 3 at level 210)
