Prestige Class

This article is about the the tenth level promotion. For other uses, see Class (disambiguation).

Prestige Class, Also known as profession, or just class refers to the final promotion of a character from their base class. Once a character promotes to their prestige class, they may not change it.

How to Promote

When a character is level ten and wishes to promote to their prestige class, they must visit that specific class trainer. Interacting with this trainer will prompt you if you would like to promote to that class.

Level 10 Experience Cap

Characters may not gain levels after level ten unless they promote to a prestige class, however, they may continue to gain experience, even accumulating a negative experience value totalling the next three level advances, but no more. If a character accumulates negative experience, they will gain it's benefit upon promoting and gaining at least one more experience point.

Lore Excerpt

"Alas, our World has been rent with strife from its very beginning, her soil seeped in blood. From the rising of the Dragons to the great invasions of Chaos and the War of Tears between Men and the Elven empires, conflict and destruction have always been close at hand. Since the time of the Turning, things have grown even worse. Just as the world was shattered, War and Chaos threaten to shatter everything the All-Father's children have achieved. More than ever, it is a time when Heroes can change the world, for good or ill. Whatever their race, those who aspire to greatness must walk one of four paths to triumph or oblivion. For the mighty and humble alike, even the greatest of Quests begins with but a single step."

Granted: Level 11 -- Level prerequisite; level at which the power will become available.
Focus Skill: Shadowmastery -- Focus skill the power is based on. If applicable, this skill will determine the attack rating of the spell.
Mana Cost: 15 to 55 (at power ranks 0 to 40) -- The cost of the spell. This may be mana, stamina, or health, this may scale with the power's training amount.
Casting Time: 4 seconds-- The time it takes before the spells effect is activated
Recycle Time: 0.0 seconds -- This is how long it takes to cast the power again.

Stack Category: DefenseBuff -- This text string is the stack flag. You usually cannot stack, or use more than one of effects with the same flag. Stack Rank: 1 -- This determines what position the spell's effect icon appears on the effects bar.
Stack Rule: Standard (When stack categories and ranks are equal, then the most recently cast spell will only succeed if its spell power is greater than or equal to the existing spell's power). -- This describes what will happen if another spell with the same stack flag is cast on the target.
