Hi! I'm so excited to start! I do have one question that I wasn't able to find on the G Drive Most Frequently Asked Questions page so I thought I would reach out here! I've created my character and am starting my "Novice" (1st) year and I've picked my calling. If I plan to use the same character next year for my "Apprentice" (2nd) year, should I be picking a new calling for that year? or is it more like "University" where you should keep the same calling for the 4 years your character is attending? (I know it can be my own preference but I thought I would ask just in case) Thank you!
@WhateverLulaWants3 ай бұрын
I think if you change your calling you have to start back at novice again. So it makes sense to stick with one until you finish but there’s no rule. Some people read for 2 or 3 callings simultaneously. I read so slowly, I could never.
