Class Tree
AoC has a bit of a different set up for their classes than most MMO’s. Rather than picking a class during character creation they have a “class tree” set up. When you create your character you start by choosing a race. You have three to choose from: Aquilonian, Cimmerian or Stygian.
Based on the race you pick, at level five you choose a class. Aquilonian and Cimmerian can choose among Rogue, Priest or Warrior. Stygian can chose among Rogue, Priest or Mage. Classes will be restricted to armor/weapon access and feats based on the nature and balance of the class.
At level twenty, you get to choose between three or four branching classes, and this becomes your main class. You keep your main class all the way to level sixty, when you chose your specialization.
At level forty, you choose from a set of four different “guild” classes which can freely be picked by any class. The guild classes are like an overlay class, with mostly social functions. Among these are a path of manufacture specialty, tactical expertise, strategic expertise, and lordship.
At level sixty, you choose your specialized class. There are two specializations for your base class. In total, there are around 40 different class choices available for the player.
At level eighty, the final level, you gain access to the “elder feats”. These are specialized powers that boost your character in various ways.
