so how does this multiclassing thing work?

I'm an arcanist but was asked by an NPC if I want to join the Marauder Guild? how does that work?

You can be any class you want. If you want to try another class, go to their NPC and join them. Once joined, you get a weapon. When you equip that weapon, you will automatically change class.

This way you can use the cross skill system. For example :

Im a Marauder, but i levelled Pugilist to level 8, so i could use their skill "Second Wind" on my Marauder.

so can I be all classes on one character?

and if so is there a point to having more than one char?

You can but it takes a lot of work. I have different characters on different worlds mostly because of all the login problems. But I also want to see how the story progresses differently in each city. So, depending on what you like, you can have just one "jack-of-all-trades" or you can have a few characters and watch the story unfold from all points of origin.

The major point is to get the cross-class skills. As any class or job you have access to skills of other classes. Those are immensely useful.

I created a thread discussing the strengths and weaknesses of having a "Super Character over alts. It comes to preference in the end.

The story differs a little realy between the cities, almost not at all actually unless indeed you count the little go-and-fetch side quests as "story" so that would be the last reason to have multiply characters I'd say.
