  Expansion to the Classes and Training system. It was fun being a good student, but there's only been two classes (three if counting the old G2), which are outdated due to Renovation.

  Potions of: Dexterity, Strength, Intelligence, Luck, and Will added to the cash shop.
  Additionally, Potions of: Mana, Stamina, and HP added to cash shop which give 20 of each stat per potion. Potion uses (for all types) uncapped to 20.
  Additionally, AP potions added to cash shop for limited time sales to be released periodically throughout the year.

  Also not a fan of Int+will scaling for Alch - Alch should be a core skillset, not a hybrid one. Furthermore it serves as a huge nerf to every alchemist who isn't named tropacat (or more like, pure alchemists suffer badly until they dump AP into both mage and fighter while hp/mp/sp are more readily accessible )

  Sometimes I wish they'd just add a new type of core stat (Str, Int, Dex, Will, Luck), to existing skills, and make new skillsets be based off those rather than a hybrid of two stats. Like if you made up some stat called Xah, and add Xah to existing skills like firebolt, windmill, etc, and make alchemy's damage be based on Xah, or something like that. Like how you had to hybridize to get all the stats from other skillsets for your target skillset.

  So like...
  
  STR
  INT
  DEX
  WILL
  LUCK
  PER(perception, for aim base % and aim speed modifier on range/changing your base chance to miss with guns/shurikens)
  (I can't think of stats for the life of me lol) But yeah, I could totally get behind a large update that adds like 2-3 more stats to the game while balancing the others out some more.

  HP/MP/SP are more accessible to a fault. Alchemy has low coefficients and hits a glass ceiling far sooner than other talents. I can hold over 3,200 stamina while transformed and only 1,500 of that counts. HP/MP/SP are absolutely horrid stats to reference when calculating max damage and they give the alchemist talents a massive synergy flaw compared to other options.
  
  Intelligence + Willpower makes a lot of sense, logically. Regardless, it's far better for alchemists to have a difficult time capping their damage stats than for them to cap them instantly whenever they transform. Compared to other talents, mages should have increased equipment reliance while alchemists should have lessened restrictions. A total overhaul of the enchant system (splitting things into ranged/melee/etc damage) would be best for class diversity but the difficulty of implementation at this stage would make it an unrealistic project to realize without resulting in some degree of centralization.
  
  Naturally, I would add Intelligence/Willpower to common alchemy skills to somewhat soften the initial blow.
  
  ...on a separate note, if you're a "pure" in Mabinogi, you deserve to suck.
  
  ---
  
  If we were to factor both stats, in-full, into alchemy skill damage I would probably set those values as follows:
  
  0.05 Summon Golem (Damage)
  0.05 Hydra Transmutation
  0.08 Flame Burst
  0.10 Sand Burst
  0.10 Summon Golem (Health)
  0.30 Water Cannon
  0.20 Shock
  0.25 Wind Blast
  0.25 Life Drain
  0.40 Barrier Spikes
  0.80 Heat Buster
  2.50 Rain Casting (Lightning Damage)
  4.00 Mana Crystalization
  
  The end result is that alchemy won't cap out instantly and will receive nearly twice its current damage for most skills for end-game players, where the talent's usage currently falters.

  I think Alchemy's low damage potential is fine as a balance to its massive amount of utility, which you've given them more of even with the Raincast power shift (not even sure it's a nerf especially since you've moved a lot of that CC power to Sand Burst). Furthermore, if you examine the AP costs involved in getting an appreciable amount (let's say 1.5k combined STR + Dex versus 1.5k combined Int + Will) of Int+ Will kind of massively favor the other hybrid skillsets
  
  Finally, "pure" warrior, knight, mage are still very viable, and "pure" archery is viable at endgame.

  [SPOILER="Lots of stuff."]Monster Revamp.
  New mob titles to randomly spawn with in missions and dungeons. They may spawn with a combination of two titles.
  “The ____ Wall.” This title is given to monsters that spawn with a shield most of the time, but can show up on other mobs with a few changes.
  
  Crumbling: Takes 1% more dmg. Only found on beginner difficulty (semi common) and normal dungeons (rarely).
  
  Iron: Takes -40% dmg physical attacks. Has shield mastery rank 9 and defense rank 9. Only takes .3 seconds to load defense. Base defense and protection +(1-5) and +(1-3). Found on any difficulty above Beginner/normal, the harder making it more common.
  
  Magical: Takes -40% dmg from magical attacks. Has rank B shield mastery and defense rank 9. Only takes .5 seconds to load defense. Base magic defense and protection +(1-5) and +(1-3). Found on any difficulty above Beginner/normal, the harder making it more common.
  
  Wind: Takes -40% dmg from ranged attacks. Has rank 9 shield mastery and defense rank B. Only takes .3 seconds to load defense. Base defense and protection +(1-5) and +(1-5). Found on any difficulty above Beginner/normal, the harder making it more common.
  
  Unbreakable: Takes -25% dmg from all attack types. Has rank 5 shield mastery and defense rank 5. Can instantly load defense. -30% of its own dmg. Found on hard mode and up, rarely found in ADV.
  
  Stone: Stun resistance increased greatly and gets up from being knocked down extremely fast. Has rank B shield mastery and defense. Takes 1 second to load defense.
  
  “The barrier of ____”
  This title depends on the monsters in the room with it. It will randomly select 1 name and any monster that shares that name will be protected by it until it is defeated.
  
  “The protector of ____”
  Essentially the same thing, but the monsters may be defeated before this one. The monster with this title will target anyone who attacks the monster(s) it is protecting.
  
  “The ___ Hunter”
  “Who Hunts _____”
  The first title targets x skill set. If ANYONE uses any skill from that skill set, the monster will gain +15% dmg and defense against said skill set and target you.
  The second title targets a specific player (not a pet or partner). This monster will gun it for you from the word go and do 5% more dmg to you and take 10% less dmg from you. DOES NOT appear when you’re alone.
  
  “Who shall arise”
  Any monster with this title will revive after 10 seconds of being dead with 25%-50% of their hp. Cannot spawn on a boss/mini boss.
  
  “The prepared(_)”
  Any monster with this title will have a HP/MP/SP (as in a 3 in 1) potion 30-100, based on the mission difficulty/dungeon. The title will have a number anywhere from 1-5, showing how many potions the monster has. It will drink it’s potion if it loses HP/SP/MP equal to the potion or higher.
  
  “The berserker”
  Any monster with this title has a 25% chance to not get stunned or knocked back by a hit, similar to adv heavy. They have an extra 100-500hp (depending on several things) and take 5% more dmg.
  
  “Who hates animals”
  Any monster with this title will take -75% dmg from pet summon effects, and pet dmg, as well as deal an extra 50% dmg to pets. They can randomly yell out and desummon your pet as well.
  
  “Who won’t let you escape.”
  Any monster with this title will chase after you regardless of agro once they see you. They will not attack you until they agro normally, but they won’t let you away from them. They have a 25% movement speed increase. (Typically found in dungeons, mainly in dungeon orb rooms)
  
  Prefix, monster name, Sufix.
  
  A few other changes:
  Monsters with shields and close combat weapons can run with defense and walk with counter.
  Monster AI can be different than normal. A bulky shield guy might start rushing you instead of spamming defense and counter, and a mob that would typically only ever rush you will throw in some defenses sometimes. You never know what to expect.
  Mobs with long names due to titles will have their font shrunk a bit.
  Players in the same party in a dungeon share the same mini map (as in it fills out for everyone).
  
  Small Dungeon change:
  Upon completing a dungeon room, be it chest or orb room (must kill all the monsters that did spawn), the total EXP from all the monsters is added up and awarded to every player in the dungeon without being divided.
  Dungeon chest rewards no longer have ONE main reward chest. Every chest has the same chances to have good loot in it.
  Dungeon room Keys are no longer physical and are shared between the entire party.
  Blue fountains now always have good effects, unless “Something seems different about this fountain…” is read. The good effect pool is altered to only have a few with better effects than normal, and the bad pool is put into play with its effects made stronger.
  The same goes for the red fountains, with their stat increases boosted by 2x (4x with the “different” text.) The negative pool is -5x what it normally is.

  Funny that you add this, my guess is, as a direct counter to AoE pets (Bone Dragon). Well, it might not be exactly your intention, but how about adding specific stun immunity only to pets when this title is on a monster, so that it counters every AoE pet. This would require more skill 'cause it can't be stopped just with a tap of a key.
