A Link Skill is a special skill each job has in their beginner skillset. Unlike regular skills, Link Skills can be shared between characters once the character reaches Level 70, however, the following rules apply:
Link Skill UI
1st Job Advancement completed
The Link Skill character and the receiving character must be on the same server owned by the same account
Receiving characters cannot have the Link Skills already (eg. Two Kaisers cannot both give Skill links to the same character, and a Beast Tamer cannot give her Link Skill to another Beast Tamer)
The Link Skill character can change the recipient character a total of two times every day
One character can only have a max of 12 Link Skills, excluding their own
In the case of shared Link Skills like the Explorers, Cygnus Knights and Resistance, using the same certain job will not raise a link skill past its second level (eg. leveling two Heroes, Battle Mages or Wind Archers to 120 will not raise their respective link skill to 4)
Link Skills have a maximum of two levels (three in GlobalMS). In the case of Zero characters, their Link Skill is leveled up by completing certain quests, up to five each. In cases of classes like the Explorers, Cygnus Knights, or Resistance, they can reach an even higher level cap when combined with other characters with the same link skill.
Level 1 is given when the character is made
Level 2 is given when the character is at Level 120
Level 3 (GlobalMS only) is given when the character is at Level 210, though not all link skills reach up to Level 3
