# Rebirth Guide

Rebirth sends your 2nd class character back to square one as a High Novice, trading your current levels for a permanent power boost and access to the Transcendent classes.

## Requirements

| Requirement   | Value                                       |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Current class | Any 2nd class (not yet Third or Fourth Job) |
| Base Level    | 99                                          |
| Job Level     | 50                                          |

Head to the Job Master at prontera 152,192 and choose the Rebirth option. General job-change rules — dismounting, unused skill points, auto-granted Platinum skills — are covered on the [Job Master](/wiki/jobs-and-classes/job-master.md) page.

## What Resets, What Doesn't

|                  | Effect                                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Base & Job Level | Reset to 1                                                                                                                                   |
| Stats            | Reset to 1, with 100 status points to spend again                                                                                            |
| Skill tree       | Fully reset — all skill points are returned                                                                                                  |
| Zeny             | **Kept.** Rebirth is zeny-safe: your balance is snapshotted before the reset and restored if it would otherwise drop                         |
| Equipped gear    | Kept, unless it no longer meets your (now level 1) requirements — those pieces are unequipped straight back into your inventory, not deleted |

## The Enforced Path Back Up

After Rebirth you start over as a High Novice, then job-change forward again — but DewataRO locks the path so it mirrors the character you just rebirthed:

1. **High Novice** → the High version of your original first class (e.g. High Swordman if you were a Swordman line).
2. **High \[First Class]** → the Transcendent version of the exact 2nd class you held before rebirth — same branch, no switching. If you were a Knight, you're walked straight into Lord Knight; if you were a Crusader, straight into Paladin. You can't use Rebirth to jump to the other branch.

This linear path only applies to the job changes right after Rebirth. Once you're back in your Transcendent 2nd class, you're clear to keep leveling toward Third Job. See the [Class Progression Tree](/wiki/jobs-and-classes/class-progression-tree.md) for the full branching map and [Level Caps & EXP Curve](/wiki/jobs-and-classes/level-caps-exp.md) for what changes about your leveling curve post-Rebirth.
