At level 31 you will have to choose a job and become either a Witch or a Wizard. If you become a Witch, look at the Witch 31+ page to see how to distribute your stat points to meet the stat requirements for each Witch skill. If you become a Wizard, look at the Wizard 31+ page to see how to distribute your stat points to meet the stat requirements for each Wizard skill.
