Novice

Everyone starts here: the novice island, the academy, first skills.

Role

Every character starts as a Novice. You wake up in the hold of the novice ship, step out onto the island and reach the Criatura Academy, where you learn movement, combat, the inventory and Kafra services.

Leveling

  • Hunt Porings, Fabres and other weak monsters on the Prontera fields.
  • Every job level gives a skill point. Put them all into Basic Skill: you cannot change job without level 9.
  • You may keep your stat points for now and spend them once you pick your first job.

Quest skills

First Aid (a small heal) and Play Dead (monsters lose interest) come from quests and cost no skill points.

Where next

At job level 10 pick a path: Swordman in Izlude, Mage in Geffen, Archer in Payon, Acolyte in the Prontera cathedral, Merchant in Alberta or Thief in the pyramid near Morroc.
