8.29 Classes
A class is a set of skills. These skills are also referred to as guild-skills, because you must join a guild in order to gain most classes, although 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 Infiltrator. You may see what class you have, if any, by typing 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 2. Once you have finished your apprenticeship, your class is permanent. Even if you are demoted back below guild rank 2, you will stay a full member of the class. In order to gain another class, you can either leave your guild and join another (this may make you lose your current skills), or make use of the multiclass system. In the case of leaving your guild, read over HELP CHANGING GUILD. For multiclassing, more information is provided within HELP MULTICLASSING.

CLASS GUIDE details these options. Further, classes are mirrored across the Shadow/Spirit divide to ensure equal ability opportunity across the game; while they share the same mechanics, each class will have a creative and unique flavor associated with it. +--------------+--------------+ | Shadow | Spirit | |--------------|--------------+ | Alchemist | Shaman | | Archivist | Voidseer | | Bloodborn | Ascendril | | Carnifex | Warden | | Earthcaller | Luminary | | Executor | Sentinel | | Indorani | Oneiromancer | | Praenomen | Akkari | | Ravager | Zealot | | Revenant | Templar | | Sciomancer | Runecarver | | Teradrim | Tidesage | +--------------+--------------+ See also: CLASS LIST, GUILD, GUILDS, GUILDADMIN, CHANGINGGUILDS
