KURO BETA UPDATE - DECEMBER 2024

---

⚔️ CYGNUS KNIGHTS 4TH JOB HAS ARRIVED! ⚔️

The Knights of Cygnus have unlocked their true potential! All five Cygnus classes can now advance to 4th job.

Level Cap Increased

• Cygnus Knights max level raised from 120 to 200
  
• Standard 5 AP gained per level
  

How to Advance

• Reach level 120 on your Cygnus Knight
  
• Obtain the Heroic Pentagon (drops from Griffey in Leafre)
  
• Obtain the Heroic Star (drops from Manon in Leafre)
  
• Visit your class instructor in Leafre to complete the advancement
  

Note: Cygnus 4th job is still a work in progress. Our original plan encountered some technical limitations, and we're releasing it in this state so it doesn't hold up other server updates and bug fixes. We're actively working on rebalancing and improving the Cygnus skill kits - expect adjustments in future patches. Thank you for your patience!
