Order5

To protect new players. Apparently in KR, new players would get lost because they confuse Vindictus with other open-world games. Restrictions help direct players to places they need to go and ease them into the game without overwhelming them with tons of freedom and information.

It's incomplete. To be precise, recipes only allow you to level that far because you can only gain experience up to 10 ranks past the recommended proficiency.

I see, well I don't mind, at least we got a bigger damage.. expected from devcat, this is really a nerf for Lynn and she doesn't need nerfs since she is one the most hardest characters to master,gear and survive with.

It's mainly just a nerf to Lynns that don't have enough attack speed to use Fishtail Pole. As a bit of insight, this change was part of her major update that included:
-Attacks that place Zhen Swift Assassin will overwrite normal Swift Assassin marks on enemies that already have 10 stacks.
-Having 10 Zhens on a target transforms the effect into Full Bloom that does extra damage when detonated.
-10-stack Swift Assassins only flinch when detonated by actives.
-SP cost reduction on Iron Flag, Divine Spear, and Chambers of Death.
-Dashing with Divine Spear requires pressing the smash key.
-Ability to cancel out of Chambers of Death using Thunderleg.
-Long-Armed Devil now places Zhen Swift Assassin without Jade Fox.
-Attacks that apply Swift Assassin do extra damage to targets that cannot be marked.
-PvP grab ability added.

I'm not sure if XE version had any of these changes but there you go.

For convenience, I'll also list off some more changes from the months that followed:
-Can cancel smash animations using Little Rat (most noticeable when canceling Mantis).
-Rising Dragon hold skill added.
-Swift Assassin marks now last for and indefinite amount of time instead of 60 seconds. (I emphasize that Nexon said "indefinite" not infinite.)

This was a change made to the premiere version months ago. The ability to place Swift Assassin marks using Golden Arm was removed, and the damage dealt by Golden Arm was increased.

In other words, Golden Arm is even more useless, but getting the title "Fully Armed" is easier.

As the others have said, it means you have instantly regenerating Stamina outside of combat. It was introduced in Season 2 to make traveling faster in those areas and to assist you in Charles' Race in Twilight Desert.
