 == Choosing a First Job ==
-The choice of a first job for a player new to Timelines is quite simple.  Pick whichever one you like the best!  All classes have builds which can excel in the early game.  Unlike classic Ragnarok, archer and mage are not head and shoulders above the melee based classes.  That is not to say that all builds are created equally!  It is recommended to avoid builds without a meaningful damage dealing or supporting role.  Swordsman, merchant, thief, and even aco can pick up weapon masteries early on, and use these skills along with NPC-sold weapons to deal substantial damage.  Builds high in vitality will have very short sitting rests to completely refill their HP.  Players should keep in mind that free skill resets are available from the hypnotist NPC in Prontera, near the tool dealer, for characters base level 40 and under.
