Everyone starts as a Novice. Master it and all seven roads open at once; after that, the roads you have walked open the next ones.
How it works
The stats are the minimum needed to move into that class. All five must be met, while only one of the preceding classes is required.
Skill effects here are base values without gear options. Values with your Skill power option are on your Character page.
Nothing is required. Seven roads branch from here.
Opens only after mastering the other thirty-one classes
5 players stand there now.
