Squirrels and beavers are in the area surrounding White City. Go to field 2 and then head left, for example.
The NPC that changes classes is in field 6, part of White City.
There is a shop for each of your characters that sells everything that character could use. Since your characters have no class, all the shops sell the same thing. Once you've changed class, this will change.

Meanwhile, I figured out how to seamlessly "log in" as other players: just change my ID in the code. It was pretty obvious but I'm retarded. Anyway, this should help me track down the bugs you all bring up.

Despite being in the library I'm beginning to suspect Paladins and Dragon Knights may be missing 90% of their stuff. <_< My Paladin is above level 22 and when I had 30k Gold his other two spells did not show up in the shop for him and they cost like 20k and 10k or something and their level requirements were 20 and like 10. This isn't a super urgent thing since the only spell I really need is Widening Slash, but. Being able to revive an ally with Divine Feather would be awesome.
So yeah, when you fix the level requirements on most of the gears you can check on those too. >_>

Now the round went completely normally besides this assaulting the top of the page, it's nothing game breaking just something I thought I should report.

For starters, enchantments now work sort of. I added a large dollop of code, so there could be an equally large dollop of errors for all I know.
Additionally, I have made a few spells for Druids and "filled out" Tier I's spells (i.e. made it so every class in the tier can max out on spells). I didn't add any items yet, but I'll do that soon - sooner if someone makes them up for me!
Regardless, here are the new spells:
Druid got Lure and Purify transferred to them from Clerics or something. They also got Disenchant, the first spell to target specific enchantments; Channel, the first spell with a variable casting cost; and Nurture, which buffs a character's ATK by 5 and then heals and restores 5 HP and SP for each buff on that character (including negative ones/debuffs).
There were two tier spells added: Piety and Righteousness. (Righteousness might be a bit overpowered with the huge defenses running around.) In general, for at least this wave of additions, tier spells will be simple, one-word names with fairly simple effects.
Rose Knight got Noble Purpose and Order of the Rose to go with it. Noble Purpose struck me as potentially ridiculous with Order, so I made it require an exertion (although it might be better to exert for Order instead) to avoid craziness. Actually, Order is fairly crazy on its own, so maybe it is better the other way. >_>
Magus got Flame of Salvation and Darkest Hour. Both of these spells use a buff formula that's unique to Maguses: a portion of a fixed quantity is until end of turn (a boost) and the rest is permanent (a boon), the portion equal to the Magus' remaining HP + remaining SP all divided by the sum of its max HP and max SP. In Flame's case, that fixed quantity is 30, and it debuffs an opponent's ATK, DEF, MATK, and MDEF. Darkest Hour on the other hand requires an exertion in order to buff those stats for an ally (using 50 as the fixed quantity), make that ally defend, and copy the next action that ally would take. (Note that it can target itself, although in that case it probably wouldn't copy anything.) The costs for these spells are low because they get better the more SP is spent.
Commander got Coordinated Defense and Coordinated Attack. CD loops through your party and either exerts the character in order to double its defenses until the end of the turn, or makes the character defend and heals it for 25 HP if it's exhausted. Coordinated Attack deals damage to a target equal to the sum of your party's ATK minus 4.5 times that character's DEF. Commanders also got a slight boost to Summon Soldiers in that the soldiers now know both Smash and Iron Defense.
Matriarch/Patriarch got Armageddon back (now it only kills off summons and requires an exertion) and lost Purification.
Paladin got nothing.
Archon got Baptize and will probably never need anything else.
Sensei had previously acquired Silent Strength from Master and now gets Hold the Line, which exerts to boost DEF and MDEF by the amount of the exertion or performs a normal attack while defending if the caster is exhausted. Hold the Line is the kind of spell that's either bonkers or terrible - although personally I'd vote for bonkers, especially since there's no adequate answer to defending at this point.
Swordsman got the pretty unimpressive Parry, which increases its speed by 10 and enchants it with Protect if it's being targeted.
Evangelist got the even less impressive Stunning Oration, namely because its projected signature spell (Evangelize, of course) is presently beyond my ability to code elegantly.
Bourgeois is kind of up in the air at this point in terms of what I want to do with it, so it got a double-duty offensive and defensive spell in Money Cannon, which attacks its target and either damages it or heals it if it's a member of the caster's party. It also costs gold equal to the amount of damage/healing it does. Bourgeois is one of a few classes that will interact with your gold count in this way; I'm not yet sure what the others are.
Martyr got a number of Into the Something spells that all have a similar effect: the Martyr kills him- or herself and then uses the total HP it had remaining to do something beneficial to an ally. Light heals the character, Sea restores its SP, Fire increases its ATK, Forge its DEF, Darkness its MATK, Stars its MDEF, and Wind its speed. I could get more complicated with Martyr spells, but for the time being I think this is a pretty good illustration of what the class does.
Apostle got Erasure and Nexus of Wills. Both of these spells use the same mechanic: they're basic magic attacks with no cost that use SP based on the damage dealt to determine the extent of the bonus effect. You can still cast them when you're out of SP, but they'll just be magic attacks at that point.
Pontiff got Will of Faith and Will of Grace, which are nice global buff/debuff effects.
Caretaker got that Purification so it can hose Tier VII and now also Elutriate so it can hose Tier IV as well. I planned on adding Steel to Sand, but the architecture for manipulating items isn't where it needs to be for that to be elegantly-codable, so I'm going to hold off on it until I get that done. Caretakers, by the way, represent the Druid pure class, if that wasn't already known.
Templar got Righteous Fury, which increases the caster's ATK by 35 when cast and then 10 more every action it takes after that (unless its action is disrupted somehow). It would have gotten more but I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it at the moment.
Lastly, Daimyo got Blood of the Shogunate and Resplendent Charge. Blood has strong potential for unbounded loops, so I'll have to watch out for that. Also, when it's cast, it exerts the character it's enchanting, so if the target isn't exhausted you get some HP transfer right away. Resplendent Charge performs a normal attack, but before that happens it has two other potential effects: if the caster is mounted, it increases the party's attack a little (as a boon) and if the caster is the target of an opposing action it heals the party a little. That second condition is the inverse of the Tier II mechanic, by the by.
Questing etc. is going to be delayed a little yet again as (a) I am reluctant to add anything of that nature while the experience formula is still up in the air and (b) I would like to start with Seahome, which will be Privateer/Pirate heavy, but I can't really do much with those classes for the same reason Steel to Sand has yet to exist, so there's going to be a little bit of extra development before I can move forward with this. Still, I have no classes on Monday, so I expect to be more or less ready with this by Tuesday or Wednesday. This is "part two" of this update and it will represent a build change.

On the other hand, I find this really, really mechanically interesting.
I'm not sure if a class based around money is something I'd actually like to play, but I love the idea of it. <_<

Keep getting this error while I'm murdering fish. At first I thought it was related to the fact that, occasionally, half a point of damage will be dealt (143.5 or whatever), but on further testing it seems to be unrelated.
Also, Channel has no description in the library. <_<

I eventually gave up on finding an actual curve and resorted to using a number of piecewise functions instead. Now, there are four different multipliers that go into experience: the turn multiplier, which is universal, and the damage, spell, and total level multipliers, which are different for each character.
The turn multiplier is simple:
1 turn = 0
2 turns = .25
3 turns = .65
4 turns = .9
>= 5 turns = 1
In other words, if you one-turn kill everything you're going to get no experience whatsoever; if you kill everything in two turns you're going to get a quarter experience; and so on.
The damage multiplier is based on the damage you receive. The formula is like this:
So if your character loses half of its HP, the multiplier is going to be 1.05 for that character. The minimum is, obviously, .7 - but I don't want it unbounded, so I set the maximum at 1.5.DAMAGE_TAKEN/MAXHP * .7 plus .7
The spell multiplier is based on the percentage of SP the character used. The formula is similar to the damage multiplier, but with smaller variation:
The minimum is .8 and the maximum is 1.3.(MAXSP - SP)/MAXSP * .5 plus .8
Lastly, the total level multiplier changes based on a character's total level:
tlevel = 0 => multiplier = 3
tlevel <= 15 => multiplier = 1.5
tlevel > 15 and <= 35 => multiplier = 1.1
tlevel > 35 => multiplier = .75 (this might be too low)
This system seems better to me than the previous one, even though it still has its problems. It does, however, make it very difficult/impossible to get balanced experience for all your team members.

Might as well just make it 100,000 EXP for each level and bring back the old formula, then at least new characters could be leveled up without requiring an entire team of low level characters. <_<
