I reckon they did make it easier, but way back when OB first started - but I'm juts guessing.
I did my very first job change in CB with a mage. I had to do it like.. 3 times. I'm not sure if it's because I was a noob and wasn't sure what was going on.. but I remember using quite a fair bit of stones too when I did it on my cleric.
When OB started, I only had to use 1 SP stone for my cleric and that was it. Not sure if that's because I got the hang of the game by then and stuff, and maybe the scrolls made alota difference, but I reckon they might have nerfed the defenses of the NPC mobs by a bit... but, just randomly guessing.
