Start as a Vagrant
Vagrant is the starting job. Mercenary, Acrobat, Assist and Magician are the four main class families. Your later job determines the weapons, armor and skills that fit your build.
Mercenary and Acrobat
Mercenary branches into Knight and Blade, followed by Templar and Slayer. Eclipse Legacy’s fourth-job paths are Paladin and Swordmaster.
Acrobat branches into Jester and Ranger, followed by Harlequin and Crackshooter. Their fourth-job paths are Assassin and Shadowhunter.
Assist and Magician
Assist branches into Ringmaster and Billposter, followed by Seraph and Force Master. Their fourth-job paths are Saint and Fist King.
Magician branches into Psykeeper and Elementor, followed by Mentalist and Arcanist. Their fourth-job paths are Anomaly and Avatar.
When each job unlocks
Every advancement opens from the Job Selection window as soon as you qualify. No quest chain is required.
Level 15: choose your first job. Your base stats reset to 15 so you can rebuild them. Level 60: choose your second job and continue to level 120.
Level 120: your second job becomes its Master job, your level returns to 60, and you level to 120 again. A level 120 Master becomes a Hero at level 121 and levels to 130.
Hero level 130: advance to your third job with no level reset and continue toward 300. Level 200: your third job advances to its fourth job, and you keep levelling to the level 300 cap.
Choose equipment by the full requirement
Master and Hero labels are also part of the character progression. Read the exact requirement on an item, including its job and level, rather than selecting equipment from its broad class tab alone. The fourth-job guides explain weapon identity and signature skills.
Compare the full class path
Follow one branch from your first job to its final fourth job. Knight leads to Templar and Paladin; Blade leads to Slayer and Swordmaster. Jester leads to Harlequin and Assassin; Ranger leads to Crackshooter and Shadowhunter.
Ringmaster leads to Seraph and Saint; Billposter leads to Force Master and Fist King. Psykeeper leads to Mentalist and Anomaly; Elementor leads to Arcanist and Avatar. Master and Hero stages belong to these paths rather than replacing the base family.
