Classes

The class system of ArcheAge consists of ten skillsets, from which players can select three to create one of the 120 possible classes.

=Skillsets= There are 10 skillsets available in ArcheAge. The options allow for the creation of 120 unique classes. Abilities in the skillsets are unlocked as a character gains levels.

At level 10, players are able to change their selected specialization for a fee. The fee is determined by the amount of skill points spent in the skillset's tree. Note that replacing one specialization with another does not automatically unlock all skills. Combat level and skillsets level separately.

=Class Combinations= As mentioned above, there are 120 different possible classes based on the skillsets selected.
