Overview

Soul Linkers give up the ways of TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of their ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the abilities of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.

Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to Wizards and Sages, their spells are severely limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to Mild Wind they can use powerful Holy, Ghost, and Shadow magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of PvM or PvP & WoE options. Although casters, Linkers, like Sages, can go melee.

They have relatively low HP, but better SP than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so INT is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need for DEX compared to other magic-using classes. With some VIT and their defensive magic, coupled with TaeKwon Kid's Tumbling, they can be quite good tankers.

A unique thing about Soul Linkers is that they are naturally immune to Dispell.

The player will be promoted to Soul Linker after embracing the requests of the spirits. Equipment Headgear Soul Linkers are limited to Mage headgear and any that are usable by all classes except novice. However, some headgear have extra bonuses for Taekwon classes (which includes Soul Linkers): Magistrate Hat [1] +1 Agi, +3% HP regen. Mythical Lion Mask [1] +2 Dex, 10% chance to inflict stun with a melee attack, +2 ATK per upgrade. Bride Mask [1] +5 crit, +2 Luk. Hahoe Mask +2 Perfect dodge, +1 Luk. Ayam [1] +1 Int, +3% SP regen. But if you cannot afford the above headgears, there's always Apple of Archer, and the much cheaper Wizard Hat. Apple of Archer +3 Dex. Usually not as cheap and easy to get as "Wizard Hat", but the price is normally still reachable. Wizard Hat +100 MaxSP. Cheaper, easy-to-get headgear that is suitable for those who cannot afford expensive fancy headgears. Footgear Soul Linkers can wear Sandals (and Sandals[1]), Shoes (and Shoes[1]), High Fashion Sandals[1], and all footgear usable by "all classes except novice".

Accessory Soul Linkers can equip various accessories, such as Clip, Nile Rose, as well as the stat-boosting generic accessories such as Glove, Ring, Earring, Necklace, and of course, their "Level 90+" slotted version. The easiest option, though, is a Clip. Aside from that, there are other accessories that Soul Linkers can equip, but those mentioned above are what people usually use. If you have the money, and you are level 80 or higher, you can use Librarian Glove or Eye Stone Ring instead, which, to Linkers, are essentially a Clip with a better SP bonus. Weapon Soul Linkers can fight unarmed, keeping the bonuses from the Sprint skill, or use Daggers and Rods. Usually, rods are to be used for Esma or supportive play styles. Most daggers are only better than fists when they're carded, especially against large enemies. Dagger of Counter ATK+140, Crit+90. Provides better damage output compared to fighting unarmed, especially if the opponent has high defense.

Unless the user is linked with the Soul Linker Spirit, using these skills on anyone else causes them to fail and the caster to be stunned. Spirit Link Skills These skills imbue other characters with special abilities for a time depending on skill level. Each class has their own Spirit Link that can only be cast upon them. Transcendent second classes can utilize the Spirit Link of their original second class.
