Multi-Classing Options and Effectiveness

Apprentice is a great starting class if you wish to introduce yourself to the world before choosing your main class. This class is also a useful way to start your career if you need the extra crafting and common skill slots to be self-sufficient in your adventures.

Apprentices qualify for all other commoner classes and for all base classes as long as they meet the racial and minimum stat requirements for these classes.

• Artisan
• Bard
• Cleric
• Druid
• Fighter
• Gaoler
• Mage
• Sailor
• Thief

Notes

Since Apprentices cannot gain levels, it is important to save 1 train for changing your class. If you spend all of your trains, you cannot change classes. In this scenario, you may remain a level 1 character forever, retire your character, or ask an Archon for assistance.

At one point in the past, Apprentices used to be able to level beyond level 1, which is why there are level-based stats for Apprentices. However, the birth of the Artisan resulted in no real benefit to remaining an Apprentice and the class was locked down to level 1 forever, but given a significant amount of experience when they train into a new class. There are two main advantages to selecting Apprentice as your starting class:

• The low prerequisites make it an easy class to qualify for, allowing a player to create a character with random stats and quickly enter the game as an Apprentice to talk to other players and get advice on character balance.
• Selecting Apprentice provides a +1 to the maximum number of learnable crafting common skills, and +1 to the maximum number of learnable non-crafting common skills, allowing a character to be a little more self-sufficient later in their career.
