KMST's newest update moved third job to level 60 and fourth to level 100.
This hints strongly at a 5th job advance at level 150.
Beginner - 10 levels (to 10)
1st job - 20 levels (to 30)
2nd job - 30 levels (to 60)
3rd job - 40 levels (to 100)
4th job - presumably 50 levels, to 150.
So, assuming we do get 5th job, let's talk about it.
How do you think Nexon will go about it?
Can they really come up with 5 new skills for each class, that are better than its current 4th job skills? Do we all get even more OP than ever?
Will they move some 4th job skills to 5th, only adding maybe one or two (winged lasers for everyone that doesn't have them already)?
Will they move some levels of existing skills (e.g., Bishop's Angel Ray will have 20 levels in 4th job, and another 20 levels as "Advanced Angel Ray" in 5th)?
Do you think 5th job is a good idea?
Will it keep high levels interested (no longer maxing all core skills by 160-180)?
Will it help with the Mastery Book shortage, or make it worse?
Should they have raised the level cap along with it?
etc
Let's hear what you think is going to happen, and whether you like the idea or not.

How much SP would we have from 100-200? like at least 300?

If that were to happen I could think about looking at maple again. After big bang I dropped off at about level 80.

Well 100 levels, 3 SP per level.

I say it'll be instresting. The only reason I ever bother to lvl up is for skills anyway. So it couldn't hurt. I will look forward to see if they play off themes classes already have (orbs, ele charges) or if they just mesh classes into the same thing.

Wow, with that much, we'd possibly be able to max all our skills.

I would say at least 300 SP.
I'd guess 5th job would be 180 rather than 150 though. 4th job skills for Luminous add up to 250 SP not 300 something (this can change later on of course). You end up with SP left over at 18x+. Having 5th job at 180 makes sense too in a way, being that "end game" skills shouldn't be easily accessible.
If in fact they do add a 5th job, hoping they make skills for each class unique, not some copy&paste like Adv Mastery, Laser,Enrage, Tornado crap.

Plus whatever you get for job advance (3 now, at least for Adventurers).
That's another reason to believe 5th job is coming. As KMST stands now, 4th job has more SP than needed to max every single skill, at least for most classes. Plus it lets you max them all 20 levels earlier, so that's more levels to be bored with the grind. Definitely not a desirable situation. If they don't split those 100 levels into two jobs, they'll have to add 4th job skills or raise the max level of some skills that only go up to 10 or 20 today (ewww).

I honestly don't have much faith in a fifth job. They already do a terrible fucking job balancing the other four jobs. The rationale they seem to be following is something along the lines of "RUSH THEM THROUGH THE LEVELS AND THEY WON'T NOTICE THE BROKENNESS."

If they really do add in a 5th job, why not make it different?
Do away with Mastery Books and increase the master levels for the new skills by doing quests.
Maybe even give us SP from doing quests too, like Evans do (pre-80?).
I think it'd be interesting to see that each branch of the class would get different quests and storylines, but that'll take a lot of effort on their part.
I'm pretty sure they did something similar to this pre-BB, it wasn't a terrible idea was it?

I think it will be something like this...5th Job will allow you to choose any skills from other classes...or not. lol

[02:32] Danny: man
[02:33] Danny: there's no way we're having a 5th job
[02:33] Danny: 150 is only like
[02:33] Danny: 51*3 = 153 SP
[02:33] Danny: Bowmasters need 253
[02:33] Joe: they're just lazy and haven't scaled it yet, idk
[02:33] Joe: maybe they'll just add more 4th job skills
[02:33] Danny: what about mastery books?
[02:33] Joe: or just move some 4th job to 5th job

That's another reason to believe 5th job is coming. As KMST stands now, 4th job has more SP than needed to max every single skill, at least for most classes.

That means I should have Stance, Advanced Final Attack, and Enrage Maxed on my Level 153 Hero if it happens. When I'm a few levels higher, I should be adding my skills to Maple Warrior.
[MENTION=24]Chameleonic[/MENTION] That would be broken if it were to happen.

I just counted out the SP used for Aran from 100-200. In total, I am able to max all of my skills, leaving me 45 SP left over.
I'm doing a lot of calculating. We're able to save 45 SP throughout 4th job, 48 because we get 3 free SP when we advance. I'm not sure NexonKR thought this through when they changed the job advancements.
