subclass help

[Jeraco24 TTV]

im level 42 and i just now got my subclass. the game me a bunch of exp items and after using them all i was level 42. i got my subclass but im worried since im almost 20 levels over the requirement to get the subclass that i might have messed up and lost skill points.

Don't worry. All classes starts from level 1 regardless of the level of your main class which means you haven't lost any skill points for your main or sub class. Even better, you can freely change your main and sub classes at the class NPC at any point of the game as many times as you want. Classes keep their level information regardless of whether you use it as a main class or as a sub class so, for example, if you later decide to use your level 42 main class as a sub class instead then it becomes a level 42 sub class. Sub classes have some limitations (for example, regarding the skill tree and exp gain etc.) but you definitely don't have to worry about losing skill points just because you chose your sub class at level 42.

thank you so much. i was really worried about all this. so even if you hit max level but lets say i choose to use force as my subclass even tho im max level the force will level up untill that reaches its max level?

A class being actively used as your subclass will stop gaining EXP at around level 75 or so, so you cannot just level it to max as a subclass. However, since you are able to freely switch classes, you'd be able to simply switch your sub to your main class and level it up normally that way.

For example, say you chose to play a Braver with a Phantom subclass. Your Phantom subclass would gain a portion of the EXP your Braver main class would get as you leveled, but it Phantom would stop getting EXP eventually even as you leveled Braver all the way to 100. At this point, to finish leveling your Phantom, you'd have to make it your main class for a while and then level it up via whatever methods you had on hand (most would just use bonus keys or EXP tickets to minimize the time they spend leveling their subclasses).

That aside, you'll never have to worry about losing skill points as they're a set thing that cannot ever be lost. You can accidentally put SP in the wrong class skills, and there's no way to easily reset them outside of waiting for a free reset pass or using a combination of AC and SG to move a skill tree around which serves as a reset, but outright losing skill points is strictly impossible and you're indeed quite able to get every class to max level if you choose to do so.

If a subclass is below level 80 then it will gain exp equal to 25% of the main class exp gain unless your main class is a summoner.
I believe that's when subclass stops leveling up so if you want to level up it further you need to play it as a main class after that.

Quick reminder that you would want to lv up all class to 100 right now till 5/12, because we are currently under an event that give us 100 SG for each lv 100 class, and extra 500 SG for all class reach 100

Good luck
