Job change
Once players reach level 31 they are given the opportunity to choose from one of two paths. These paths are commonly referred to as "jobs," "dual classes," or "second jobs." Here they will be called "jobs."
The job that someone chooses will determine what kind of interesting new skills and abilities they will be able to learn in the future. Each character class is given two different job options, of which they may only choose one. No character is able to have skills from both the jobs available to their class. Because of this, most players have a very tough time deciding which job to take. The fact that each job has its unique ups and downs makes it even harder to decide.
It often helps if you discuss the two different job options with other level 31+ characters of the same class as yourself. They can give you an inside look at how things really are. To read about the different job options available to each class and get a general idea of what their abilities are, please look at the pages linked to below.
Getting the job -
To be able to choose a job, you must :
If you do not know or are not sure if you meet all the requirements for choosing the job you want, talk to your class Master NPC. If you are missing anything, they will tell you when you attempt to get the job. If you meet the requirements, then you will be able to successfully change to the job.
Stat points and skills -
Once you have chosen a job, all of your stat points will be reset to 0 and the points will be put back in your stat point "pool." Before redistributing them, take a look at the skills and skill requirements for the job skills you will receive. The level 32, 38, 44 and 70 skills all require a certain number of stat points in three of the four base stats before they may be learned and used. The four base stats areStrength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Constitution.
If you'd like, you can take a look at the Class stat point guides section for charts showing you the suggested way to distribute your stat points from level 31+. They will help youmake sure you meet the stat requirements for all your future skills, as well as get the skills that other players of your class and your job find most useful first.
When distributing stat points, it is a good idea to unequip all your armor pieces, weapon, and accessories. This way you will be able to see how many real stat points you have already put into each base stat. The stat point requirements for your future skills are all shown in real stat points. The extra stat point boosts that you receive from accessories and bloodseals do not count toward your skill stat point requirements.
If you mess up when distributing your stat points, you may talk to the Crean NPC for help. He can reset stat points for you and put them back into your stat point "pool" for redistribution. He charges 20,000 gold per point.
After you choose a job, you will begin to receive more than one stat point per level. At level 32 you will receive 3 stat points. At level 33 you will receive 4 stat points. At level 34 you will receive 3 stat points. At level 35 you will receive 4 stat points again. The number of stat points per level continues to alternate between 3 and 4, with 3 points being given on the even levels and 4 points being given on the odd levels.
Waiting to get the job -
It will not permanently damage your character if you choose your job at a level later than 31. However, it is strongly advised against. Characters who wait to get their jobs are significantly weaker than other characters of equal level who already have a job. If a job is not chosen at level 31, then at level 32 your character will receive only 1 stat point. Your character will continue to receive only 1 stat point for every level after that that you remain jobless. Don't worry though--as soon as you choose a job and your current stat points are put back into your stat point "pool," all the extra stat points that you missed out on will be given to you for distribution.
Besides receiving extra stat points, characters also have their HP and MP boosted when they choose a job. Some character classes have reported that their attack and/or defense is also increased, but this has not been confirmed. The HP and MP boosts are by a set percentage, estimated to be somewhere between 30% and 50%. (More testing is needed to find the exact percentage and whether or not it differs between classes.)
In addition to having fewer stat points and lower HP/MP, characters that wait to choose their jobs do not have the new skills of either job open up to them, so they are left still using their old skills. Level 1-30 attack skills increase damage by a set amount while level 32+ attacks skills increase it by a percentage, making the level 32+ skills much more powerful.
Waiting to get your job is alright, but in all honestly there's really no practical reason why you shouldn't get that job as soon as you can!

At level 31 a sorcerer can chose either elementalist or specialist, but neither option is as good as just staying a plain old sorcerer untill lvl 32.
If a sorc choses elementalist - they have to summon thier spirits with a fallarm, which is weaker than a scythe. If a sorc choses a spechailist - they completly lose thier summoning ability, Like all other classes, neither class gets thier new skills until lvl 32 - so classing up at 31 weakens thier attack power for a hp/mp boost, perhaps not the best idea. |

Mainly I was just worried about the whole skill point thing and was wondering if someone could answer a couple of simple questions real quick for me.
First, do your skill points ever run out? By this I mean can you ever stop gaining skill points or even after you hit a level cap could you still gain skill points from killing monsters and end up having every skill possible (with the exception of the job you don't choose). Finally, do your skill points get reset once you choose your job class and/or is there a way to reset your skill points (lose your skills but gain skill points back)? Thanks and I greatly appreciate any response.
