[url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Link-Skills-and-How-to-Use-Them-Efficiently-445.html]Guide, will be updated, this will not.[/url]
I've seen some basilers come back from a vacation or a long hiatus and wondering whats new. Link Skills can be considered "new" I guess c;
Here's a little guide to what jobs give what skills and some details on how they're useful.
[header][b]Introduction[/b][/header]
Link skills are skills that special classes have and they get to give a character in the same world and on the same account the skill while keeping it. In order to link it however, you must be level 70 as the job. Cygnus Knights and their Blessing or even Explorers and their blessing are not considered "link skills" as they link to the whole world, not just one char.
Link Skills will have a Level 2 soon (currently in KMS) which adds 1/2 of the skill's stat at Level 120. [10% HP -> 15% HP]
[header][b]Jobs, Skills and Boosts[/b][/header]

[header][b]JMS KMS TMS CMS etc[/b][/header]
[header2]JapanMS has their Hayato and Kanna.[/header2]
[*][b]Hayato[/b] - Link Skill Shippuu Denju -japaneseletters-: +10 STR/DEX/INT/LUK and +5 WATT
[*][b]Kanna[/b] - Link Skill ?
Decided not to do other Maplestorys because much of basil is GMS and many link skills are similar.
[header][b]Minor Details for Skills and Jett Core Aura Information[/b][/header]
[b]Jett Core Aura[/b]
--[i]NX Items[/i]--
Supernova Dust - Change the Core Aura's stats
Condensed Supernova Dust - Change the Core Aura's stats with a bigger chance of better stats
Stellar Cosmic Solidifier - Freeze the Core Aura's stats for 30 days. Can stack up to 365 days and will stop if Core Aura is stat changed via items.
Cosmic Dust Shifter - Rotate the number stats of the Aura clockwise. Changing STR to DEX etc.
--[i]Mob Drop[/i]--
Star Dust - Change Core Aura stats, drops from mobs.
[*]Mikhail's skill Guardian of Light will show your Mikhail character above you when the skill is active.
[*]Kaiser's skill "Iron Will" can be mistaken with warrior's buff skill.
[header][b]How to use Links for the Unfunded or just how to use them wisely[/b][/header]
(Level 1 skills atm, but level 2 is basically the same, just better dmg or survival)
[*]Cannoneer's skill is great if you don't have enough of your secondary stat for equips.
[*]Use Mercede's active skill to get to Victoria Island whenever every 1800 Seconds. (Job Advances)?
[*]Demon Slayer's Bossing can stack with your weapon and set effect. Good way to get 100% Bossing is 30% from Empress Set and 60% on your weapon.
[*]Jett and her Core Aura don't need to be changed every day. 2 of your main stat and weapon att/magic att is an okay boost for unfunded. (Even if its not high)
[*]Critical Rate thanks to Phantom will go with your 5% as a beginner. You'll have a high chance of hitting a critical every 10 hits. Good for higher damage.
[*]Mikhail's Protection will allow you to stand on a platform to kill mobs without worrying about climbing the rope to get back to your mob.
[*]Luminous will help you ignore monster's defense to make you hit more damage. 10% of the monster's defense is subtracted from the defense.
[*]Kaiser's health will go together with Cannoneer's for a total of 15% which will let you survive more often on bosses or just in general.
[*]Angelic Burster's extra 50% damage on a few attacks may not be much, but you can "glitch" it right now.
[*]Demon Avenger's DMG will give you more dmg...
[*]Xenon's %stat will give you more of a range and stats just like that
[*]Striker will help you survive against seduce etc.
[b]Please Note: Kaiser and Angelic Burster are Novan classes and cannot be linked with skills that aren't Novan.[/b]
>This means Kaister and Angelic Burster can give you their link skills for your Adventurer/Resistance/Cygnus whatever but Cannoneer/Mercede/DS/Jett/Phantom/Mikhail and Luminous can't link skills to them.
[b]It seems you CAN link skills to them, Nexon didn't copy everything exactly[/b]
[header]Go to the guide instead of this thread, won't be checking anymore. Sorry! The guide is more updated.[/header]

Explorers loses their Link Skills? Cause for some reason I can't find the link skill of my 100+ Drk.
Sorry for bein' a newbie.
EDIT
Nvm, Find out DRK's don't have link skills. I was being a nub. -.-
So do Dark Knights get Links i heard they do?
Cannoneer's and Kaiser's link skill with Demon Avenger is great.
[quote=TasteMango]Fellas & Ladies... I am one who has been gone for years, 2.5 to be close to exact.
I get the gist if the link skill idea.
Can I use them on my UA BM?
I basically create a character from the list, lvl it up to 70? and then get the skill? I can then delete the character and make another for a new link skill?
Thanks![/quote]
If you delete the character that is providing the link skill, you will lose the link skill on both that character and the character you linked the skill to.

Can we get an update on this please? ^^
Include Kanna Link skill (since it is released)
This skills aren't all listed in 1 place anywhere else on the site (from what I've seen)
Maybe this has been already asked and, if that's the case, I apologize. But I would like to know what happens if you delete a character that gave you the link skill. For instance, my main is a bishop and I made a lvl70 kaiser to get the HP link skill. I already gave the bishop the link skill. If I delete the kaiser, will the skill be gone from the bishop?
I ask because I don't have anymore slots in my account, I can't buy any cause I can't buy NX and I'd like to use the spot to get Hayato whenever it's released.
Thank you, in advance, for your reply!
You can update Kanna's. It's the same as Demon Avenger, I'm pretty sure.
Also say that Kanna and Hayato are coming to GMS.
[quote=Badeyez]If you make a character just for the link skill get them to lvl 70 link their skill then delet them does the skill leave your linked character?[/quote]
No p2short
and this needs to be sticked
@applebreaker The two new JMS classes are not reskins like Dragon Warrior/Jett. The Japanese developers are actually very competent individuals, capable of conceiving creative classes that reflect their culture.
But... if you couldn't even bother to figure that one out on your own before bashing them in a racist fashion, then I'm probably talking to a wall anyway.
@TehResisting
They changed it between KMST and KMS official release, since it was met with extreme backlash in KMST
@ShiKage08 I might add it as a different heading, also including that KMS has no exclusive class, but not right at this moment. Thank you though ^^
@WorkOfArt Was it changed? o-o I read description for 4 attacks somewhere @_@ will edit though, thanks!
@HairyCreatures Thank you, err did you check the Beginner Skills of your Jett? There should be a green button on one of the skills.
@applebreaker I'm sorry I don't keep updated every second!
@caapjelmm nono, it means you can use Tornado and Bloody Storm can be used together like you use Tornado Spin then Bloody Storm after. I believe its a combo that lets you use Tornado to get enemies to chase you then you use Bloody Storm to kill them.
[quote=applebreaker]@ShiKage08 JMS classes have no use in GMS, as they're exclusive and we don't know if we'll ever get them. it's 100% sure we won't get dragon warrior, for example, because it's the same as JETT. But I'm assuming it's similar for hayato/kanna. jap trash.[/quote]
What the hell is your problem and what did I ever do to you? Quit being racist. No one likes it and no one thinks it makes you look cool.
There was someone asking if the guy would post JapanMS classes in the thread, so I gave the information in case he wants it. Why do you have a problem with that? Am I evil for posting possible helpful information? As you said, no one knows if this will ever be added to GMS. Therefore, the possibility is open.
On my dual blader it says that bloody rose can link with torpedo. Is that a link skill? .__.
[quote=puretppc]Could you give a little more detail on what you mean about this?[/quote]
Can't use Kaisers link skill on your Dualblade, for example. Can only use it for other Nova-class characters.
[quote=TehResisting]Please Note: Kaiser and Angelic Burster are Novan classes and cannot be linked with skills that aren't Novan.[/quote]
Could you give a little more detail on what you mean about this?
@TehResisting good guide
also i'm wondering, i linked my jett's core to my shadower. Now looks like i can't move it anymore because it's stuck on the shad and it doesn't appear on Jett to trade it to someone else.
might be confusing to understand me a little
Soul Contract: When used, attacks used in the next 10 seconds will have their damage increased by 100%. There is a 90 second cooldown. If used as a Link Skill, the effects are reduced to 50%. (Link Skill)
If you want to add Hayato and Kanna to that list (the JapanMS-original classes), Hayato's link skill is [url=http://i.imgur.com/B8cun.jpg]+10 to all stats and +5 weapon attack[/url]. Its name is Shippuu Denju. Kanna is not released yet, so there's no confirmation on what her link skill will give. However, I will post it here, assuming I remember, on Thursday, when she gets added to the official servers.
Edit : Also, Nova classes [b]can[/b] give their link skills to non-Nova classes, but non-Novas [b]cannot[/b] give their link skills to Nova classes.
@pypq001 What do you mean? F6
@Amuro: Ohh. Thanks
[quote=TehResisting]@Amuro I thought regular threads could only use 3 types of BBCodes "Thread Post - The thread starter can only use the 'item', 'monster' and 'skill' tags." so no headers? Or it just doesn't like me -i fail ik-.[/quote]
No, headers work just fine in threads, as long as you use "header" in place of "h2". [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2468105]This is how it looks like when used properly.[/url]
[quote=TehResisting]@changda Angelic Burster and Kaiser's link skills can go to anyone, but you cannot link Cannoneer/Mercedes/Demon Slayer/Jett/Phantom/Mikhail/Luminous's link skills to them.[/quote]
Oh I see, thank you for clearing that up.
@changda Angelic Burster and Kaiser's link skills can go to anyone, but you cannot link Cannoneer/Mercedes/Demon Slayer/Jett/Phantom/Mikhail/Luminous's link skills to them.
So Angelic Burster and Kaiser can only link with other Novan classes and not any of the other classes (like DS?)
@42isawesome I believe its Attack x 1/2 = 50%
Attack + 50%
so 300% for CL (4 hits)
@mcnatty Sure. I hope it can help :X
@Amuro I thought regular threads could only use 3 types of BBCodes "Thread Post - The thread starter can only use the 'item', 'monster' and 'skill' tags." so no headers? Or it just doesn't like me -i fail ik-.
For working headers, replace "h2" with "header".
thank you. keeps us players, who've been on a hiatus, in the loop.
thanks for clarification.
@vict3r Which job? o-o Samurai?
@JJoestar Lol, I'm probably only making the kaiser for the HP. Not really in need of 50% extra.
@TehResisting: Nice, thanks for the quick reply...but dam, that means I gotta level those two things to 70 -_-
Sorry, I'm not a big fan of Nova jobs and Luminous
@JJoestar You can link Novan link skills to any other job, but not link other job link skills to Novans.
[quote=TehResisting][b]Please Note: Kaiser and Angelic Burster are Novan classes and cannot be linked with skills that aren't Novan.[/b][/quote]
Oh I didn't know this.
But it's possible to link Kaiser and Angelic Burster skill to Explorers?
If not, I won't even bother to get a lv70 of those two bs classes
[quote=Sengzyy]Stupid question but in order to attain the link skills do the classes have to reach a certain level?[/quote]
The classes have the skill when they start, but in order to link it, you must be level 70.
Stupid question but in order to attain the link skills do the classes have to reach a certain level?
Link skills. Just get them all. No questions.
@PiplupStar Meant to add that.. kinda forgot lol hehe. Thanks though will add ^^
@DjFunky Yeah, I'm gonna start doing that later. It's 11:13 PM here.
@Ichii For the new players/players who've come back after a long while. Yes.
So basically you just put them all on whatever character you're using, and read the skills to see what they each do.
Does this really need a guide?
Try using headers instead of size bbcodes.
[quote=lvlOne]It might be helpful to add which classes are currently available for the obtaining of link skills and which are not.[/quote]
Thanks! Adding now.
