===================================

Latest news:

Korean official site: Alchemist will be revealed on 5th jan and released in DN KR on 12th of Jan 2012.

Right most picture: New dungeons will also be released  (coming soon, date unconfirmed)

Extra Information:

According to Duowan, the new dungeons are 2 more lv48~50 abyss:
* Blind Valley
* Queen’s Garden

According to MisteriosoEx, the Alchemist job will branch into

* Adapt [ 炼金圣士 ]
* Physician [ 药剂师 ]

http://dn.duowan.com/1112/188575987368.html

=========================================
Recent interview with DN JP revealed some interesting info:

* Alchemist will be released in Spring 2012
* Darklair stages will be increased from the current 36 stages to 50 stages.

Reference:
http://dn.duowan.com/1112/188247724611_9.html

=======OLD =======

Academic is able to change into Engineer only in current update.

In future update, another branch will be available: Alchemist

Not much is known about Alchemist, except that the weapon used is a Kabala or Bubble Gun (already available in current update) and her skills are magical-based.

Duowan recently dig out some skill names of this mysterious class from the latest client:

Alchemist Skills:
* Cocktail
* Phantom Strengthen
* Summon Magical Grass
* Snow Storm
* Sneak
* Lava Pierce
* Lava Wall
* Lava Wave
* Alchemy Phantom Strengthen  – Element
* Icicle Release
* Charged Poison Gas
* Injection
* Critical Poison Gas
* Mixed Contagion
* Alchemy Phantom Strengthen  – Medication
* Poison Grass

From the skill name, it is easy to see that alchemist will have more fire, ice and dark (poison）elemental attacks. Instead of summong ducks and tower like engineer, she will summon grass =.=

Second Job Change Skills name:
[Adapt ]
* C2H5OH (alchohol)
* Lava Pierce EX
* Ice beam

[Physician]
* Love Virus
* Injection EX
* Healing Wave

One of the job will be offensive with more elemental skills, while the other one will be more supportive, likely to come with some sort of healing skills too.

Skill effect/description

Due to the chaotic nature of the client text file, still unsure which skill description refer to which skill name, but these text on the effects are indeed extracted from the client (according to duowan).
