Novice

Everyone starts here. Ten job levels, then pick a path.

Every character begins as a Novice on the Training Grounds. The class is short on purpose: learn to move, fight, and use items, then reach Job Level 10 and choose one of the six first jobs.

Spend your nine Basic Skill points before you go - the job change NPCs will not accept you without Basic Skill at level 9.

Tier: Starter
Role: Starter
Job change: Training Grounds, then any first-job guild
Requirement: Job Level 10, Basic Skill Lv 9
Weapons: Daggers, one-handed swords, axes, maces, rods
Main stats: Hold your stat points until you know your first job

Good to know

Leave stat points unspent until you have chosen a first job - a Mage and a Swordsman want very different numbers.
Novice deaths cost no EXP, so the Training Grounds are a safe place to learn the controls.
