What are sub-classes?
A sub-class is a second job you learn next to your main class. Each one gives its own bonus, such as more critical hits, less poison damage or extra HP, and the bonus grows every time you are promoted to a higher phase.
To join, open your character sheet and press the sub-class button at its bottom left, then press Join to see what you need. If you already have the level and the items, you are promoted right there. You can also talk to the Sub-class Manager in the Job Center (50,33), enter the Sub-class Hall and speak to the leader of the sub-class you want.
Joining costs
Every sub-class costs 800 Study Points plus an item that changes from one sub-class to another.

Levelling up and promotion
A sub-class has two numbers: its level and its phase. You raise the level in the sub-class panel: when you have enough Study Points, press UPG. The phase is what gives the bonus, and to move up a phase you also need the right character level and number of rebirths.
| Phase | Character level | Rebirths |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 90 | — |
| 3 | 110 | — |
| 4 | 120 | — |
| 5 | 90 | 1 |
| 6 | 110 | 1 |
| 7 | 120 | 1 |
| 8 | 120 | 2 |
| 9 | 130 | 2 |
When you qualify, the Promotion button in the sub-class panel lights up. Press it to be taken to your sub-class leader in the Sub-class Hall, and talk to the leader to be promoted. Getting here takes rebirth and later the second rebirth.
