Lost Ark: Changing subclasses during the game - is it possible? Lost Ark guide, walkthrough
In this guide page you will learn if it is possible to change the class or subclass (Advanced Class) after creating a hero in Lost Ark.
Last update: 16 February 2022
The following page of the guide to Lost Ark explains whether it's possible to change your class or subclass (Advanced Class) in-game, after already having created your character.
Your class and subclass (Advanced Class) are chosen before starting the game, on the character creation screen. The player can view animations showing off how the subclass plays as well as see information regarding their performance in battle (their offensive, defensive, supportive prowess). Not all characters have several subclasses to choose from, and depending on their gender, they have a different set of available Advanced Classes.
After creating your character and starting the game changing classes or subclasses is no longer possible. If you want to start playing a different class or specialization you must start a new game with a new character and transfer your equipment through the storage chest. Unfortunately - some gear pieces are dedicated to specific classes, so your new character will often be unable to use them. You can keep valuable items, potions and other things which can help your new character get a head start.
You should know that some gameplay features are shared between all characters, such as currency (including silver), Phoenix Plumes, your progress, Roster rewards, as well as achievements and collectibles (Adventurer's Tome).
