Oh, one other thing about switching classes: Your level is tied to your class, and each class has to be leveled up seperately. So for instance, if as a level 13 thaumaturge you decided to join the gladiators guild, you would become a level 1 gladiator. Experience earned while a gladiator would advance your gladiator level and experience earned while a thaumaturge would advance your thaumaturge level. (On your character window, there's a section for classes that will show your current level in each of the game's 19 classes.) One effect of this is that some gear you can equip at level 13 may not be able to be equipped at level 1, so when you pick up a new class, you'll need level 1 equipment to wear. You'll need to keep equipment on hand suitable for the level of each class you're pursuing.
