{{:arabian_03.png?nolink |}} Classes are quite versatile within [[Godwars]]. What looks like a simple party of "warriors" or "mages" at the start turns into a large variety of different professions ranging from barbarians lurking in the front-lines or thieves darting around looking for loot.

====== Class Level Limits ======

For each class your follower picks, they are allowed 20 levels maximum before they MUST promote. You may also promote as soon as a promotion is possible AND the minimum promotion level is eligible. 

The MOST powerful OVERALL character in the game would advance 20 levels of each eligible class since when you reach the last heirachy of classes and that class reaches level 20 - **You cannot gain anymore levels**. So, for if example, you are a 2nd tier class but you are presented with a promotion to a 4th tier class - you will lose out on 20 potential level ups. In general, for the best overall character, you will want 20 full levels on a tier 1, 2, 3 and finally and ideally 4th class.

WHY to rush promotion? For PvP, overall levels restrict combatants so rushing a class promotion means higher base stats and skills. In general, you will want to promote classes based upon whether you are aiming for the best of PvP with a level cap(make sure to set a cap in the "edit" section on a member) OR the best of Dimension abilities(as many levels as possible). For the highest levels of PvP this restriction method is not needed.

====== Level-up Progession ======

The most important thing that dictates class to class is the differences in which they gain SKILLS and ATTRIBUTES. Squire and Student have the lowest rates while higher tier classes have a strong rate. It is the CLASS combined with "potential" of followers that control what is gained (or not gained) each level. You may ONLY change classes UP in class hierarchy.

====== Promotion Requirements ======

{{:promotions.jpg?nolink&400 |}}

There are generally 3 requirements possible for any class. The first is the simplest - Level requirement. Your follower must be a certain level. The first tier of classes exists at **Level 10**.

Secondly a required skill is almost always required for a class. These usually are inherited from a previous class.

There are also other possible requirements for classes such as gender or alignment. 

Before you pick a class, it is highly suggested you look at your stocked equipment as well.

**YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PICK A CLASS PROMOTION** however you must click on the red x ignore icon to do so. You will be prompted for a promotion on the next level. In general there is no reason to ever want to stay on the starting classes unless you really want something currently unavailable to you. The starting tier classes have the lowest base gains of skills and attributes.
