Lineage 2 Classes

When choosing a character from a specific race, one has a choice of either becoming a fighter or mystic*. This choice will affect the rest of your Lineage 2 character's career where you will develop skills in the magical arts or become a powerful fighter.

*Dwarves can only choose to be fighters

Lineage 2 Classes & Racial Choice

Each race has it's own distinct racial classes that players choose from as their character gains more experience. You can think of it as a class tree where racial choice determines which kinds of branches you'll eventually grow. For instance, at various points of experience, an orc has to make choices about which career path to take. For instance, orc -> orc mystic -> orc Shaman -> orc Overlord. We recommend the following resource for a more thorough breakdown: Lineage 2 Classes.

Lineage 2 Class Changes

As your character gains more experience, you will gain greater abilities and eventually be able to greater title. At the time of this writing (Chronicle 3) there are 2 main class changes that occur in Lineage 2.

  • Level 20 Class Change - At level 20, the first major class change occurs for a character. You might rightly see this as your graduation from 'newbiehood' as you'll be leaving your home land and traveling to the main city. At this point Lineage 2 characters are able to wear D graded armor and use D grade weapons. In addition to these enhancements, players will also be able to join a Lineage 2 Clan and as of Chronicle 2, enter into the world of PVP (player versus player). Namely, once you're level 20 you're no longer protected from PKers (player killers) and you'll have to learn to fend for yourself or quickly make some alliances. Of course, once you've completed the necessary prerequisites you'll also land yourself a cool new title :)
  • Level 40 Class Change - The second lineage 2 class change occurs when your character reaches level 40. At this level, accompanying the occupation change you'll also be abled to use C graded weapons and armor. In order to complete the level 40 change, you'll first need to complete what is called a taunting quest. Unlike the level 20 class change, this quest involves a huge time commitment (sometimes taking weeks!). At the time of this writing there are no additional class changes but it's rumored that these are planned additions to future chronicles.
