# Job Classes

In Ragnarok Landverse, a character's abilities and skills are defined by their class (also known as job). Characters start out as Novices, then once they reach Job Level 10 they can choose between a variety of first job classes. After attaining Job Level 40 (or higher for more skill points) they can then change to a second class job, either 2-1 or 2-2.

#### Notes:

* ​[Stats ](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/stats.md)and Skills are only reset once during the transcending / rebirth process. The character would have to use a stat reset / skill reset for any other circumstances.
* The job changes process can be confusing. An example of the general path is as follows:
  1. 1.Start off as [Novice](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/novice.md)​
  2. 2.Reach job level 10
  3. 3.Choose a first class ([Swordman](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/swordman.md))
  4. 4.Reach job level 40-50
  5. 5.Choose a second class ([Knight](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/swordman/knight-2-1.md))
