About The Classes

In Ragnarok Online, a character's abilities and skills are defined by their class (also known as "job"). Characters start out as Novices, then once they reach Job Level 10 they can choose between a variety of first job classes. After attaining Job Level 40 (or higher) they can then change to a second class job, either 2-1 or 2-2.

Once the character has reached Base Level 99 and Job Level 50 as a second class, they can choose to transcend and start the process again, being rewarded with a more powerful, transcendent character. Some classes such as, Baby and Expanded classes cannot transcend. See the Transcendent Article for more information.

Alternatively, from Novice, players can choose to become a Super Novice or explore one of the Expanded classes.

Notes:

• Once a character has chosen their second class job, they will not be able to choose another job path even after transcending. E.g., after a Swordman chooses the Knight path, and the Knight transcends, they must become a Lord Knight and cannot become a Paladin or any other class.
• Stats and Skills are reset once during the transcendence process. However, a character may use a stat reset or skill reset for any other circumstances. See the FAQ for more information.
• The job change process can be confusing. An example of the general path is as follows:
  1. Start off as Novice
  2. Reach job level 10
  3. Choose a first class (Swordsman)
  4. Reach job level 40-50
  5. Choose a second class (Knight)
  6. Reach base level 99
  7. Rebirth (transcend)
  8. Now a base level 1 job level 1 High Novice (all stats and skills are reset)
  9. Reach job level 10
  10. Job change to the same first class (High Swordsman)
  11. Reach job level 40-50 (50 always recommended)
  12. Job change to the same transcendent class (Lord Knight)
  13. Reach base level 99 and job level 50-70 (70 always recommended)
