Progression

Permanent progression comes from systems that reinforce one another: Biologist, horse, skills, Leadership, refinement and professions. Advance them in parallel so the character is never locked into one farming activity.

Biologist Missions

The Biologist grants permanent bonuses and should advance alongside your level. The table lists the required item, total amount and final reward.

Item	Level	Amount	Bonus
Orc Tooth	30	10	Movement Speed +10%
Curse Book	40	15	Attack Speed +5%
Demon's Keepsake	50	15	Defence +60
Ice Marble	60	20	Attack Value +50
Zelkova Branch	70	25	Monster Resistance +10%
Tugyi's Tablet	80	30	Attack +5%
Red Ghost Tree Branch	85	40	Resist Against All Classes +5%
Leaders' Notes	90	50	Strong Against All Classes +5%

Horse and saddlebags

Lv. 25

First horse

Begin the classic questline and prove riding control in a timed challenge.

War Horse

Mounted combat

A more demanding combat mission where party coordination can make the difference.

Military Horse

Final milestone

A late mounted-kill challenge backed by investment in Horse Medals.

Saddlebags unlock after obtaining a horse and can be expanded over time with materials and medals.

Blessing Scroll

The Blacksmith refines equipment from +0 upward, traditionally to +9, using Yang and upgrade materials. An unprotected failure may destroy the item. Blessing Scroll, Dragon Scroll and Blacksmith Handbook protect it from destruction; on failure, the refinement level is reduced instead. Spirit Stones and equipment bonuses complete the build after refinement. Yore2 does not use pets, Gaya or Meley.

Horse Medal

The horse can be ridden from level 1. New characters receive the Horse Picture and find their horse nearby. Train it by defeating monsters while mounted. At horse level 10 and character level 35, take a Horse Medal to the Stable Boy to unlock the next grade. Feed varies by grade: Hay, Carrot and Red Ginseng. Horse inventory is disabled on Yore2.

Stone of Vitality+0

The Alchemist converts +0, +1, +2 and +3 Spirit Stones into 1, 2, 3 or 4 Magic Dust, at 500 Yang per point with guaranteed success. Use +4 Spirit Stones on weapons or armour. Stone Handbook removes a broken stone from an equipment slot.

The Biologist (Baek-Go)

From around level 30, Baek-Go opens the Biologist questline at levels 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 85 and 90. Every completed stage grants a permanent character bonus and an Ebony Box. The required research items are listed in the corresponding in-game letter. Yore2 progression ends at level 99.

Choosing Your Skills

At level 5, a letter directs you to one of the two class teachers in your capital, where you choose your skill path. The four available classes are Warrior, Ninja, Sura and Shaman; Lycan is not available. Skill and status resets use separate items.

Dragon Scroll

Blessing Scroll protects the item from destruction; a failed refinement lowers it by one level. Dragon Scroll and Blacksmith Handbook provide the same protection with a higher success rate. Blacksmith Stone plus Blessing Scroll creates a Blacksmith Handbook. Magic Iron Ore plus Blessing Scroll creates a Dragon Scroll.
