Questions people actually search

How many classes are there?

Eight base classes on the Steam page. A QooApp blurb says seven. A wiki says the early TW build had seven. Bard, Dancer, and Alchemist are later second-job branches, not an eleventh base class.

When do I change class?

BlueStacks puts the second job around base level 30–60 and job level 40. Confirm the prompt in your client. I do not have the exact quest text.

Can one character be every job?

Job Freedom, per BlueStacks and Steam’s change-class line, keeps base level, resets job level, and includes a free stat reset. Gear stays in storage according to the BlueStacks guide.
