Class trainer

When a Player's Character in DDO gains enough experience to increase a level, they must visit an appropriate trainer, i.e. a trainer of that same class as their next level. This is true whether that character is continuing with their pre-exixting class(es), or if they wish to gain a new class (multiclass).

Note that this is only true for "Heroic" levels, 1-20. After 20, the character is no longer (merely) Heroic, and must visit a Fatespinner for Epic level training.

For those spellcasters who must choose their spells as they level (namely Bards, Favored Souls, Rangers, Sorcerers and Warlocks), trainers can also swap old spells for new - for a (reasonable) price. (Other casters, namely Artificers, Wizards, Clerics, Druids and Paladins, can freely reset their spells in any Tavern, choosing from the spells they have at their selection.)

Trainers can also be used to (re-)set enhancements (at any level), but that can also be done in any public place with the keys ctl+r.

Trainers also allow certain classes with summoned "pets" (e.g. an Artificer's Iron Defender, or a Druid's Wolf Companion) to train those pets, purchasing enhancements with the pet's Action Points, similar to how characters can for themselves.
