This is going to be an announcement on the recent update made to the skill database (http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=skill_db_class). The first thing you'll notice is that third classes are now added. The information is still a subject of change, as people will most likely test around with the new skills and kRO might make modifications to fine tune or balance them. Keep in mind that this is the first phase of the skill database update, when more information is revealed I will make sure to update them again.
The update is not only limited to the addition of the third classes, but rather, The whole skill database (http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=skill_db_class) was redone in order to present more information in a more organized manner. All the job classes information are updated to the latest as well. One of the new feature is the Rogue / Stalker / Shadow Chaser friendly icon, (http://ratemyserver.net/skill_chars/mskicon.gif). It shows up at the top right of each skill information block whenever a monster has the skill. It's not hard to guess that clicking on it will tell you exactly which mob(s) has the ability to use the skill.
While working on adding the stat bonuses to go with the third classes, I noticed the Misc Database (http://ratemyserver.net/index.php?page=misc_db_list) page is ... Hmm pretty much a mess. No wonder nobody ever goes there. It was my n00b design few years ago, and I'll have to apologize for the randomness in the placement of links. In order to make it attractive again so not to waste its informativeness, I reorganized it. It's now more readable if you could give it a second chance.
If my memory serves me well, ratemyserver.net will begin its 5th year of being online starting next month. I really appreciate the amount of support given to RMS from all of Ragnarok Online. I didn't put up a lot of announcements this year, but that doesn't mean I have stopped updating the site. I stopped releasing news for item/mob/map database updates unless there were new features added. That is because those are routine updates that happen regularly. Since I am better at writing code than writing in English, I feel like avoiding to write news whenever I can =).
Last but not least, I have to thank $ephiroth of eAthena for the English translation files and malufett of eAthena for the skill database server side files from his on-going 3rd class implementation project. Also thanks to everyone that contributed to those projects (too many names to mention here).
That's all for now. Thanks for reading.

very very nice :o 8), but the aftercast delay is missing yet ??? :-X
i wonder when will able to test in rms test server... ;D

whats with the "requirements" and the "required for" does that mean "impossibe"? XD forgive me if im wrong but........ i would normally think if something is required for means you need it in order to get a certain skill? yet if the requirement is the same does that not cancel it out altoghether?
~confused in RMS?
I see the English skill description translation put all the requirements as "required for". I'll remove all the required for info Warlock skills for now just to remove the confusion. Thanks for the catch.
cool update (even if i dont like third classes ;D)
anyway when reading around ive noticed that the guillotine cross "counter slash" skill description seems to be cloned from the upper "weapon blocking" skill, is that a mistake?
Good job, yC. I was looking forward to this update for a while.
Third Jobs <3
This is great... I'll be waiting for this.. ;)
