  It means when you for example become Knight Class, you'll get Leap Attack, or Alchemist class, you'll get elemental masteries.
  
  By enhancing "existing destiny skills" it means double skill training for skills that falls within your destiny class. In this case, melee for knights, etc.

  
  
  But but but, does that mean a Wizard won't be able to use Leap Attack?

  No. There are no restrictions.
  
  That's just fail translation/description on Nexon's part.

  1) Alchemist to rank up Gorem/AM/ClayMastery/Spikes.
  2) Knight to rank up Windmill.
  
  Refine/Metallurgy whenever I'm bored.
  
  On an elf :)

  Then don't pick a class and you will not get easier training and extra stats.

  No you can use leap attack.
  
  But I am curious if you need to be a Knight to obtain rank Novice of Leap Attack or Alchemist class first for Alchemy Masteries before being able to use them freely.

  Easy. All classes except Alchemist give stats that boost your damage (Alchemy's damage is fixed).
  
  You'll have to pick one class in which your elf will excel (the Destiny), but that won't make the other stats of yours go down or anything. They just won't be further boosted; they'll grow as they've been growing for 12 Generations.
  
  For a Warrior+Alchemist, I would suggest that person to go Warrior, since he would get STR, which is more valuable to him than Stamina and MP.

  It would make more sense if you were able to rank it only while in the Knight destiny, then training locks but you can still use it if you switch.

  @_@ okay. well it's good to know that I can still keep all my stuff lol It took a lot of time and patience to get ALL those skills up to where they are now. I just hope I can keep learning different skills.
  and thanks xD

  Call me weird, but I approve the name change to Destiny System... Class System sounded so boring compared to Destiny System.
  
  Of course, you can change it every week or three weeks, but in your "erinn life" you choose your destiny. This is one of the localization translations I approve of!
  
  I will be alchemist first!

  
  
  that made me realize if you think about it
  
  before you rebirth, that is a life in mabi's world so technically Destiny hasn't been changed
  
  
  also people panic too easily

  Blacksmith would still be impossibly hard even with a Merchant class... though I think the main draw from Merchant would be getting real experience through life-skilling, which would let you alternate between the combat aspect of Mabinogi and taking a break to produce things without experiencing an AP shortage.
  
  Besides, many people like life skills but aren't into the whole combat system... being self-sufficient AP-wise within a non-combat class would be a great change of pace and a breath of fresh air.

  
  
  

  Quote from Archibald;278134:

  Originally merchant classes were going to get exp from using lifeskills. Like for example. If you made a Dustin armor you might get 300k exp from doing that through a quest (kinda like the party quests we have).
  
  It would allow someone do be completely lifeskiller and enjoy AP and things.
  
  This is the one thing they should have kept. A merchant class like that.

  
  
  Actually, when devCAT changed the Destiny system to the one we currently know now, they kept the system of receiving EXP while doing a Life skill. They just scrapped the Merchant class's 2x training, that's all.
  
  For example, Weaving. When you open the Weaving window to put in your materials...

  That is the EXP from doing a Life skill (in other words, not training EXP).
  
  The EXP varies depending on the product you're making (though I think the harder the product is to make, the more EXP you get).

  The EXP shows up as <LIVING> EXP on the system log.
