Here we outline the classes on offer in the game, along with their enhanced "Job" versions unlocked at level 30.

What's the Fastest Way to Level Up?

The journey from 1-50 is a long and arduous one, but it needn't be a grind. Here we outline the various ways you can earn valuable experience points for your character.
