So when you first started...

It depends on if you already have good gears for first class characters. I used to train novices until around base lv 30 before job changing. Now that I have decent gears, I change as soon as I hit job lv 10

at first I went up to 40 or 50 too just to get a head start

now if its a melee person about base 20

if its a caster still about 40 to 50

if you plan to change it to a thief...I suggest you do it now....


loots at einbroch and TF ( when you can already go there) should supply more than your needs....   


anyway...good thief weapons are cheap  (keen damascus = 90-200k)  and so are katars....

...BTW... the max lvl that i job change is at lvl 25....  usually I do  it by between lvl 20 and 25

I change my novice into swordmen when my job lvl hit 10 *the basic should be like around 10 - 12* and when on from that

[~*T.O.P*~]

I level when ever my job lvl is 10

[paladin181]

I leveld my novice to level 10 when I first started. But then, I never use the novice equips either. And I actually did the quest for swordie and Knight on my first character on here.

All right thanks guys.  I think I'm considering making my first character into a rogue so I can auto steal items for better money. :3

[the_undutchable]

rogue's are the best!!
I leveled my novice to level 40 (base) using the novice equips
Poison spores, horns, poporings, they all had to be exterminated anyway...

Then when I changed to thief I bought a damascus and a buckler and went to bibalan (crap place to level btw... you're better off in a different dungeon or map. Unless like me you suffer from extreme lag when in popular places)
If you can stick it out to job level 50 as a thief do so. Most people disagree probably. But they don't know the wonders of having level 10 steal and a high level of envenom on a thief

[Baka Bara]

I stayed as Novice until lvl 45, because I liked the novice gear soooooooooooooooooooooooo much lolol, then I realized I had 350k of zenies O_o

[Aronar]

32

[TinfoilxD]

I did at it at 10 immediately, but I was whacking porings for all those levels because I didn't know where to go

[BlackMageRose_13]

Base 33. Let's me use most weaponry by then, to power level to the 70's
