Class evolution

You create the first generation and reach the fifth through four evolutions, all of them by quest. The first two happen before level 400 and use the normal level; the last two use the total level, which is the level plus the master level. No evolution is optional: each one unlocks a system the previous one did not have.

1. 11st to 2nd

   Level 150, with Sebina in Devias

2. 22nd to 3rd

   Level 400, with Priest Devin

3. 33rd to 4th

   Total level 800, three trials against Cent

4. 44th to 5th

   Total level 1200, with Eunice

First to second class

The first evolution is the Treasures of MU quest, with Sebina the Priestess, in Devias (183, 32). It asks for level 150 and charges 2,000,000 zen to accept. Before it there is a warm up quest with the same NPC, Find the 'Scroll of Emperor', which also asks for level 150, charges 1,000,000 and gives 10 points.

• Reward: 10 stat points and the evolution into Blade Knight, Muse Elf, Soul Master or Bloody Summoner.
• What it unlocks: items and skills marked for second class, and access to the quests only a second class can take.
• It opens Gain Hero Status, at level 220, with Marlon: that one gives +1 point per level forever and is the most valuable quest in this range. Only the Muse Elf gets a skill along with it, Infinity Arrow.
• It opens the Blade Knight combo, through the Secret of the 'Dark Stone' quest, also with Marlon, at level 220.

To the master class

The evolution into the third generation is the biggest turning point in the game. It is the Into the 'Darkness' Zone quest, with Priest Devin (Crywolf 228,48 or Devias 181,35), it asks for level 400 and charges 10,000,000 zen. What it asks for in the field is simple: kill one Dark Elf.

The hard part is getting to it. Before it come two mandatory quests with the same NPC: Evidence of Strength (level 380, 5,000,000 zen, requires the Flame of Death Beam Knight, the Horn of Hell Maine and the Feather of Dark Phoenix) and Infiltrate The Barracks of Balgass (level 400, 7,000,000, requires 20 kills of each of the three Barracks monsters).

Third to fourth class: the Cent trials

This is the most laborious evolution in the game and the only one with mandatory boss combat. There are three chained quests, all with the NPC Cent in Lorencia (126, 143), all requiring total level 800, and none of them charges zen.

1. Trial 1
   Eligibility Test

   Defeat Cent in his test version, who fights with three of the six skills and no escorts. Reward: 20 stat points.

2. Trial 2
   New Battle

   Kill 5 of each of the three Deep Dungeon creatures (Skeleton Warrior, Larva and Cyclops) in 5 minutes. The waves refill every 5 seconds, at most 2 at a time. Reward: 30 points.

3. Trial 3
   New Battle (2)

   Cent again, this time with all six skills, 30% stronger and with escorts. Reward: 50 points and the evolution.

The arena

The boss

Combat Cent is a level 160 monster with 1,000,000 health, 1750 defense and damage from 2600 to 2800. He has six skills: Fire Slash, Twister, Nova, Fire Blood and Ice Blood, plus a Nova wind up. On the third trial his health and damage go up 30% and the escorts go up 20%.

What the fourth class unlocks

• The Enhance Skill Tree, on the N key, with another 400 points and a different structure from the master tree: groups per skill, two prerequisites per node and 16 passives whose ceiling rises as you invest.
• Retroactive points: when you evolve, you receive at once the enhance points you would already have earned from your master level, capped at 400. Without that, anyone already at the master cap would never earn a single point.
• Gear that asks for a high total level: the mastery weapon and armor tiers above Holyangel.
• The fifth evolution, which only opens from here.

Fourth to fifth class

The last evolution is the simplest of all: the 5th Class Upgrade quest, with Eunice in Devias (193, 11). It asks for total level 1200, charges no zen and asks for no kills and no items. The reward is 200 stat points and the evolution.
