4th job advancement theory + New Character theory

With Monaterra release, I've decided to "try" and make this theory, it's not possible but I'll give it a shot for the "Winter Update" as to claim some Elboi's mentioning of a "rumor about 4th job advancement" without any solid evidence of where he's heard/seen this info within the Discord I'm not giving out his name. But reminder we just recently gotten 4th Jobs for everyone

So in order for this to even WORK in the first place, as I have not been following up on the updates and lore as I'm slowly just reading through the story as I'm far behind so I have NOT reached anywhere past Pruinaum Outskirts.

as we can't make a job advancement anywhere in the middle of Monaterra, as the story is still using the 3rd jobs portraits.

A work around for this is, maybe if you at least unlocked Monaterra

but there's a separate dungeon in the Special's Tab, where you have to do 3 quests. But they have to be done Solo. It's mostly going to be similar to how you did 3rd Job Advancements and Master Road. But you run a trial of Dungeons familiar to old dungeons. But these dungeons are personalized to your class you fight the specter again, but it's a Henir corrupted form of the 4th Job you're going to be.

the first 2 quests are references to the 1st and 2nd Jobs as Trial One.

Trial two, is 3rd Jobs unique dungeon as well, you fight the specter that is the 3rd Job.

the final quest and third trial is fighting the Specter, a 1 v 1. You're putting a fight against the Specter as the Henir Corruption

A "mention is that the Devs were thinking which is a bad idea to do right in the middle is remove El Resonance Points."

So this is where the problem lies, how will we the players progress in the game? It can't be an automatic 500 ERP, because most veteran players that are playing would most likely lost their marbles at the free things the recently playing player is doing rn.

So if it changes like that, we'd have to make it like this, at Elrianode and you unlock 3rd Job, you get 50 ERP, you don't get more from this,

the second requirement of 50 erp, is staying alive during the Rosso Raid so you DO NOT DIE on the first run. that's an easy 100 erp.

the third requirement of getting up to 700 erp is, which is very dumb on paper! And don't ever remind me how dumb it sounds as even I think it's dumb, but you have to at least have 4 masterclass characters even ADDED! to your el search party collection for an easy 50 erp. So say you played all 4 Aisha's and added them to your masterclass and collection you get 50. so you'd at least have around 150 erp with just one character fully completed 100%.

the whole collection you get is 700. it's a lot. but your choice if you want to work for that erp.

the last requirement of an extra 50 is surviving Berthe Raid, BUT not just Berthe Raid, you HAVE to at least do Abyss Raid as well.

You now have 750 ERP. but this might have to mean the removal of the EXP option.

SO a quicker way to get to endgame content real fast because you HAVE Phoru Quest that gives you a free +9 (+15 Reforge) Amethystine Armor. But this still doesn't get you anywhere, as you still have to work your FoJ grind, VoS and/or SoA stages if you get it, etc. So it's a quick way to reach Monaterra, but this doesn't mean much as you still have to work on your characters build, etc.

Now how do I explain what does this all have to do with 4th Job advancement? Well, you got to get to 4th job advancement somehow quickly right? Well this is your almost one way ticket to reach this elusive Job change, you get a permanent advancement cube, this will show you that. You've gone far to reach end game content. It would consist of having +5% Physical / Magical Attack Power with the normal stats from the 3rd Job costume, it's an upgrade. You gain a 4th Force Passive.

A new set of Skills and Class passives where this will go. you get 3 New Class passives these will sit right under Master Class with a line of saying " 4th Class Passives. " , and maybe if we're really grasping at straws here 5 more new mod skills but you are not allowed to use these new mod skills until you achieved 4th class. Which imo, this could be fair game.

Okay now another theory I'd like to touch back upon is a 2023 Winter release of a new character it's been since 2020 of December since Noah's release in Kr.

the theory flying kite around is, most of the times now, is 2-3 years since the last characters release would be a new character.

This is where I come in and say " Oh boy I love to make a theory about this lemme at em!"

So this is unusual. By going by the Kr release dates

Elboi, Aisha and Rena were released in 2007.

Raven and Eve were in 2008

Chung was 2010

Ara 2012

Elesis and Add in 2013

Lu/Ciel in 2014

Rose 2015

Ain 2016

Laby 2018

Noah 2020

So we would "technically" get a new character in Winter 2023 in KR.

or Early 2024 but their region is unknown. How would we get a character, we should have them start off IN the Demon realm, their own area ofc, but you go through the story where Henir's Order starts their mission, meaning yes you play as a Henir Order member. It's really dumb for me to change one of my other theories but let me explain.

They're not fully aware of what they're doing is good, not even bad.

The tutorial boss for them, is maybe a form, it could be Elsword. She doesn't know who Elsword is maybe it could be Genesis but we couldn't know as again this character is just as confused to what's even happening, but the El itself is showing her a Warrior bathed in light. After the El's explosion she's fainted within Henir's region, unable to find the other members of Henir.

She's unaware of how long it's been since she's woken up, she only travels Henir's Time and Space, this is where we can have her learn from GLAIVE himself of the events, thus he literally makes it as confusing to her than he should. Meaning he's more or less showing her the event's of the El Search Party, up to Elrianode.

She's definitely not trusting him, and he's more or less messing with her because she believes Henir's Order must be doing the " right thing?"

once she does for her Master Class, her own Master Road, is fighting Glaive. This mean's he's going to really show you, what he's capable of. This is where Glaive respects her while she may not remember what being a Henir Order member is like, but she's definitely going to find the El Search Party and confront Henir's Order for the destruction they've caused and the innocent lives they've harmed.

Once she reaches Monaterra she's only learning about what is of this world unable to understand Glaive's words, her choice is to "test" the El Search Party maybe fight Elsword in a 1v1.

Though because she'd be referred as an EX-Henir Order member, the El Search Party might keep a distance from her knowing this info.

This theory is going long enough for how dumb it sounds rn, you all are probably dreading this post, but let me remind you THIS HAS BEEN TAKING ME ALMOST 3 WHOLE HOURS TRYING TO MAKE A THEORY over a 4th Job advancement rumor and decided to pile on a New character as a theory THIS IS A LOT OF WORDS to finally stop making sense for once in my life!!!!

This entire theory can be set as boosh by this point.
