Ozzy had been thinking all day about his next steps.

Staying at level 10 wasn't a good option.

He could raise some skills, but it meant nothing since he could just as quickly raise those skills at level 11, gain experience to his stats, and hit level 12.

He imagined the option was there in case there was another class he wanted to earn.

He supposed this was a bigger problem for players than for contract workers.

A warrior might keep working to be a paladin by doing quests.

Lots of classes had upgrades.But for a contract worker, things were more limited, especially the bulk of the workers that hadn't done as much or been in crazy situations.

You were still going to be a contract worker, no matter what, which meant that you were blocked from taking all the normal skills that other classes could get.

You also had to keep working for your corporation and doing your job.

Ben had been keeping track of what classes each person was offered before they attained tier 2.

Fully 70% had been given options such as Veteran Beekeeper, Abundant Farmer, or Skilled Woodworker.

While upgrades, these classes mirrored their classes in tier 1.

Workers that spent time in the dungeons killing creatures with adzes or the clever use of skills were increasing their stats, which seemed to give better classes.

Master of Bees, Valiant Farmer, and Arcane Woodcrafter had all the skills of the lesser versions, with some nice advantages.

And that could mean a lot moving on to tier 3 if they could get there.Luckily for quite a few of Sedgewick's workers, the wars with Momco.

and the Oaks had provided a chunk of CSP, as had dealing with the Starspawn.

What the world threw at Sedgewick next was scary to think about and another reason he was anxious to get home.

But he had to admit that his adventures had given him a nice batch of options.

Congratulations! Through heroic deeds, luck, and killing dangerous foes, you have earned the option of moving to Level 11!-You must spend all experience and CSP earned in Tier 2 before moving to Tier 3.-You must select one of the offered classes for Tier 3.

-If you choose not to move to level 11, you stay at level 10.

You will not earn more CSP or experience that you can apply to your statistics, but may work to earn other class options and attain higher ranks in skills.

Please note that this will make it more difficult to gain experience in Tier 3.
