Noob question

Lol! I'm also at work and have nothing to do might as well get a better grasp on the game, ok cool so say I switch my weapon to like a sword since I'm a pug right now I will automatically switch to I think gladitor or what class that is, would I just have to to regular battle leve's to lvl that class?

That's right!, that's about it in terms of switching class, most gear you will find might suit several classes at a time too, so you might not need worry about gear. Also, you can either solo those leves, but for better rewards you can party with other players and either do leves as a group or kill the local fauna for exp and items/crystal shards, etc.
