How to Change Class in Ragnarok X Next Generation
Switching Class, also known as Jobs in Ragnarok X Next Generation, can be quite a hassle. You can choose one of two ways to go about this, depending on your situation. Here are both the ways you can change your class.
Reroll Your Account
The first and easiest way would be to reroll your account. This is a sure-shot way and works on every version of the game. But you need to log in as a guest for this to work, and you will have to level up your character again from scratch (which would take about an hour to reach level 50).
Using the Book of Traverse
The only other way to change jobs in Ragnarok X is by using the Book of Traverse. You can buy from the Crystal Merchant in Alberta, but do note that this can be quite expensive. Moreover, the number of books required can change based on the class advancements you have unlocked, with the cost increasing by 1 book for every 3 branches you have unlocked.
