A '''class''' is the primary martial style of a character. A class is represented by three [[skillsets]], each of which is designed to synergize with one another to provide you with a suite of useful abilities. Classes carry with them certain restrictions, namely which types of armor you can wear, and [[tethering]]. | A '''class''' is the primary martial style of a character.

A '''class''' is a set of skills and in-character training that a given adventurer may hold. Generally speaking, class is gained from membership in a [[guild]] or via [[apprenticeship]]. Several classes can be held at once via [[multiclassing]]. As you will read later on, you may, after a time, have a class without being in the associated guild. Examples of classes are [[Monk]], [[Shaman]], and [[Syssin]]. You may see what class you have, if any, by typing {{cmd|SCORE}}. Once you join a guild, you'll automatically gain the class of that guild, but you will notice in SCORE that you are only an apprentice in that class. Your apprenticeship will end when you first gain guild rank 3. Once you have finished your apprenticeship, your class is permanent. Even if you are demoted back below guild rank 3, you will stay a full member of the class. In order to leave a class and gain another, you must first leave your current one, by typing {{cmd|CLASS QUIT <class>}}. Doing this will take your guild-skills away, and give you back approximately half of the lessons you put into them. For multiclassing, more information is provided within {{cmd|HELP MULTICLASSING}}. | |||

There are 3 main ways of acquiring a class: | |||
<ul> | |||
<li>'''Join a guild''', and after reaching rank three your skillset becomes permanent even if you leave the guild.</li> | |||
<li>'''Apprenticeship''' is when someone in a guild or someone who has mastered the skillset can apprentice you, which is them teaching you the skillset.</li> | |||
<li>'''Learning''', as some skillsets can be gotten from NPCs.</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
When a character joins a guild, they acquire the guild's class as well, and are considered to be an apprentice of that class. This differs from actual [[Apprenticeship|class apprenticeship]], a method by which characters teach a non-guilded character their class. While an apprentice, leaving your guild will cause you to lose your class as well, refunding the lessons you put into that class (at a loss: [[newbies]] only retain 90% of their lessons, while players above level 20 retain 50%). | When a character joins a guild, they acquire the guild's class as well, and are considered to be an apprentice of that class.
