Subclass in Lineage 2: how to get it and what it gives
Subclass - the second (and third) class on the same character. It allows you to play in a different style without losing progress, and gradually strengthens the main profession with skills that cannot be obtained otherwise.
- Subclasses open from level 75, taken through a quest (in the classic chronicles - Fate's Whisper).
- In total, up to three subclasses are available; everyone levels up from level 40.
- Each subclass has its own third-level profession - it is taken anew, but faster.
- For subclass levels (65, 70, 75 and 80), the main class gains additional skills.
How to get the first subclass
- Get your main class to level 75.
- Complete the subclass quest (in Interlude and High Five - Fate's Whisper chain).
- Choose a subclass profession: classes other than your own are available.
- Upgrade your subclass - it starts at level 40.
The quest consists of several parts and requires raids and rare items. The exact order of steps differs between chronicles and assemblies - in new versions it is often shortened, so see the description on the server website.
How many subclasses are available?
Until three. The second and third are taken in the same way as the first, and also start at level 40. Switching between classes is free, but with a delay: you cannot switch in battle or during a siege.
Why are subclasses needed?
- Try a different role without a second account: mage, healer, tank, crafter.
- Take skills that your main profession does not have.
- Quickly upgrade the necessary subclasses at high rates and get everything useful from them.
- Play as another race within the same character.
Subclass skills
The main value is the skills that the main class receives when the subclass reaches certain levels (usually 65, 70, 75 and 80). The set depends on which subclasses you chose: in the classical chronicles, skills are tied to the type of subclass, in later systems they became general. This is one of the reasons why you should choose subclasses with meaning and not at random.
Plan your subclasses in advance: subclass level 75 is also needed for the quest for nobility - see the article “Noblesse”.
What to consider when choosing
- Role: do not take three classes of one role - it is better to cover different tasks.
- Quests: some of the skills from the subclass require completing long chains.
- Time: at low rates, each subclass is a separate long run.
- Group: if you play in a clan, check which roles are missing.
Questions and answers
At what level do you get a subclass in Lineage 2?
Since '75. The subclass profession itself is selected after the quest, and the character begins to level up again from level 40.
How many subclasses can you take?
Until three. Each requires a separate quest, but they are the same in design.
Does the subclass give skills to the main profession?
Yes, for subclass levels (65, 70, 75 and 80), the main class receives additional skills. In later chronicles, the certification system was changed.
