Classes and Skills

In Ragnarok Online, a character's Class, also known as their Job, is what defines their abilities and skills and shapes what playstyles ara available to them forever. Once you pick a class for a character, you cannot switch to a different class, and once you pick that character's second class, you are locked to that second class's evolution path forever. Doram characters only have access to the Summoner class and cannot change it, but Human characters start out as Novices and can then progress down a class tree as they level.
Humans' classes can be divided into two broad types: Primary and Expanded. Primary Classes are the ones that were introduced at the game's inception and whose progression most of the game is built around, whereas Expanded Classes have been added over time and are more limited and niche, having lower maximum levels, specialised playstyles, and niche applications. The six primary classes are Swordsman, Mage, Merchant, Acolyte, Thief, and Archer and the four Expanded Classes are TaeKwon Kid, Ninja, Gunslinger, and Super Novice.
Except where otherwise specified, the rest of this article will be about Human characters.
