You begin the game as a level 1 character in a base class, a class which will eventually lead to you choosing your true class (i.e. Infiltrator, Bard, Savage, etc.). At level five you will be able to visit your trainer, who will guide you in the proper direction and inform you of who you should speak with to choose your final character class.
At each level, you gain a certain number of specialization points, which can be spent on training in different areas of expertise available to your specific class. For example, one of these areas of expertise may be Slashing. You may spend points in this ability to gain special weapon styles or spells on spell lines available to your class.
Depending on the class, you will have a specialization points per level factor, which determines how many points you get per level. For example, if you just turned level 20 as a Wizard, you would receive 20 points times your specialization factor of "1.0," which leaves you with 20 total points. However, a class with a specialization factor of "1.5" would receive 20 * 1.5, which leaves that person with 30 total points for specialization.
There are a variety of ways to specialize your characters. This provides players with many ways to be unique and provide different uses for groups and realm versus realm combat.
