From Vanguard Wiki
'Sphere' is the word Sigil Games Online uses to describe a major area of play in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
Although Vanguard: Saga of Heroes will utilize what could be called a "traditional" class system for an MMO, Sigil has expanded the idea of character advancement well beyond what's been done before. Vanguard will allow a player to advance in three areas, called spheres, each of which will contain all the depth of a full-fledged "class" system. A player can choose to level within any one sphere independently, or in all three at the same time.
There is no restriction on combinations between spheres, so players will be able to choose to advance within each to make hundreds of unique combinations. Each sphere will have its own classes or professions, its own equipment and skills, and its own quests and advancement. Some of the most desirable content in Vanguard will require groups of players containing characters from two or all three spheres, working together to achieve goals such as quests, dungeon crawls, the crafting of high end equipment, or the administration and control of player-created cities.
There are three major and one sub sphere.
Adventuring - Governs your ability in terms of combat and exploration.
Crafting - Concerns your ability to create and repair items and structures.
Diplomacy - The arts of intrigue, manipulation and politics.
In addition, there is the Harvesting Sphere. This is a sub-sphere to adventuring, as adventuring to dangerous locations will be required to harvest high quality reagents. Harvested items, however, will be mostly used by crafters. In addition, your harvesting level is considered to be either your adventuring or crafting level, whichever is higher.
