  Really wish I was into this game, but alas.... :(
  
  How does class changing work? Do you get to keep certain skills or no?

  No it's not like mabinogi or anything where you get to keep skills out of your job, you get an entirely different set. I'm a bit out of touch with the whole maple scene since I started playing mabinogi but I believe you just have to pay a fee (in meso) and get to change once per 24 hours.

  Depends on character strength. The list I'm making is for the unfunded-average level. If your funds exceed this range, then feel free to attempt at a lower level
  
  Knight Stronghold: Second Drill Hall 170 - somewhere around 177
  
  Knight Stronghold: Hall of Honor: somewhere around 177 (You may struggle at this level, feel free to go back if needed) - 190
  
  Twilight perion golems (new area): 190+

  There is one thing in RED where you can somewhat change classes
  
  
  

  Quote from OrangeMushroom:

  You must be a 4th job Adventurer
  You must have either enough Free Advancement Coins or mesos (the cost depends on your level as well as how many times you have changed jobs)
  You can only change jobs once per day
  All your SP will be reset
  If the job you are switching to uses a different main stat (e.g. Captain to Viper), your AP will be switched
  If the job you are switching to has a Link Skill, you will gain that Link Skill (and vice versa, meaning you cannot get the Cannon Shooter Link Skill on a Captain or Viper)
  After switching, you will get a level 100 weapon of the job you switched to

  
  
  As for training 170+, best area is, of course, Knight stronghold 170 ~190, it is also a party zone, so it is best to grind with a group of friends, guildies or anyone in a party. Arans are pretty strong unfunded so they can go solo if they want to.
  
  if you don't prefer grinding, fight Krexel twice a day, 11mil exp per eye for a total of 44mil exp (for my 174 Mercedes, this is around 5~6% exp per eye so 20%~24% exp per day), more if you have Mercedes' link skill or other exp boosts, you can enter to fight Krexel around every 24 hours.
  You just gotta do a series of quests first to fight Krexel in Singapore.
  
  Dimensional Party Quest is also good for lvling and Evolution Lab if you have good cores like 20x monster hp, 70% monster population increase etc.

  In the RED update notes a bunch of intended class skill changes aren't listed. Hopefully they just got lazy or something, will have to wait until extractions or the game going online to see for sure.
  
  Also new potential tier for 151+ stuff and "removal of unnecessary potentials"

  I'm hoping they removed things like accuracy and those stupid face ones. Those were really pointless.

  There's no way of telling at the moment until extractions are released (if they are even kind enough to remake the potential pool) or people gather the information themselves when the game comes back online. The maintenance has lasted 19 hours and has no foreseeable end still.
  
  However yes, accuracy among other things like x% chance to do a facial expression when hit are things that needed to go.
  
  edit: Just realized you already mentioned the face thing too, oops lol
  
  in a perfect world, the following potentials would be removed:
  +accuracy
  +avoidability
  facial expressions
  weapon/magic defense
  apply status when attacking
  +jump
  +speed
  
  max damage cap increase is now completely pointless on additional potential (assuming they leave it at 10k/50k)
  maybe abnormal status duration
  HP/MP recovery % when using potions

  [Update 7:10 PM] A minor patch will be included to fix the issues mentioned a few more urgent ones that were found.
  
  [Update 4:00 PM] We are working on the fixes for the previously mentioned bugs. We will also be blocking Root Abyss temporarily while we work on a fix for a bug with it that causes a channel crash.
  
  [Update 1:30 PM] We are also currently looking into a bug that caused some accounts to be tradeblocked during the update.
  
  [Update 12:25 PM] We are currently working to fix a login bug with the merged worlds.
  
  [Update 11:25 AM] The manual patcher is ready for players who already have v.142 installed. It can be downloaded here, where you can also find instructions on how to use it.
  
  [Update 10:16 AM] We've been experiencing errors while building the client patch

  
  I guess that I should check back tomorrow..?

  All channels have been online for a while now, this is rumored to be their last fix, and if they don't take the channels back offline, the login servers should be online within an hour.
  
  edit:
  
  Okay nevermind, maybe you should check back tomorrow instead.
  
  [Update 9:10 PM] Due to the patcher issues earlier, we're checking the patchers again to see if there are any compatibility issues with going through the minor patch afterward.

  I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't add Dual Blade nor Cannonneer revamp in First Impact.
  
  Aren't I able to trade pre-RED mastery books in for the new ones? Maple Admin isn't giving me the option to...

  Apparently there is currently no trade in. Might be part of another red impact. With that being said, it may be restricted to a select few that include removed/edited skills, such as taunt mastery books for night lords, since the skill is now completely removed.

  Hey is this a good time to come back to maple?
• Mentosftw wrote on 2013-12-06 04:28
  I had a lv122 pally before this update.
  
  Came back and was amazed at the changes.
  
  So many things are different, yet the whole game is pretty much the same xD
