Betrayal and crafting questions

[Lake]

I'm still new to the game and not very far in, i've done some reading on both Crafting and betraying to another city but still just have a couple of questions.With Betrayal, the stickied FAQ mentions this"<span class="postbody">However, it is always possible to betray to another city later in the game (this may also change your class if you are moving to a city where your  original class is not allowed)."While i would assume most classes would change into their good or evil equivalent (Defiler to mystic, Conjurer to Necromancer, etc) there are some classes which i can't figure out the equivalent of or have more then one equivalent on the other side. (Ranger, Swashbuckler) </span><span class="postbody">Is there any kind of list of which classes change when you betray and what they change into? </span>Crafting, 9 separate specialties, is there any way to drop your current specialty and pick up another one? Also is their any way to pick up more than one specialty or are you stuck with the first one you pick forever on that character?

Thanks that was exactly the info i was looking for, though your reply raised just one more question <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />You mention that some players may switch a couple of times to change class while keeping their city, is there any limit to the number of times you can betray? If not is there any adverse affect doing so? For example if i wanted to play a Bruiser every other week and a monk in between, would that be possible?
