Becoming a Warrior
- Level 10: a Beginner becomes a Warrior by talking to Dances with Balrog at Warriors' Sanctuary in Perion.
- Level 30: Dances with Balrog starts The Warrior's Next Journey and sends you with his letter to the Warrior Job Instructor at West Rocky Mountain IV. He sends you into a hidden area to collect Dark Marbles from its monsters, then hands you The Proof of a Hero. Take it back to Dances with Balrog to become a Fighter, a Page or a Spearman.
There is no 3rd job advancement in Classic World yet.
