How to Change Class in 99 Nights in the Forest

In the menu that opens, you will find all the classes with their descriptions and, of course, the cost. Unfortunately, to change your class, you will have to spend Gems. And the price can vary from 10 to 600 Gems per class, so you need to choose wisely.
