Blade Brandier

"Blade Brandiers fight with a sword similar to a katana. It is said that all warrior classes derive from this class. Although their abilities are average, they can adapt to a wide variety of situations."

Weapons ; Blade Brandier's wield medium-sized, one-handed, or katana-like swords in battle.

Armor ; Cloth, no heavy-duty metal armor

example ;


Macabre Dancer

"Macabre Dancers are experts at status and ability magic. Since they are allied with both the light and dark spirits, they are proficient in healing and attack magic. They hold large fans in both hands during battle. Their dancing form is said to enchant those who watch. "

A strange class, they wield fan-like weapons. They cut their enemies with the bladed tips of their fans in a battle form that resembles a dance. The inhabitants of The World consider them the "Flowers of the Battlefield".

Weapons ; Fan-like blades

Armor ; Cloth

Example ;


Edge Punisher

"Edge Punishers are a job class that prefers to wield giant swords. A blow from one of these weapons has enormous power. It can slice most enemies in half with a single strike."

Edge Punishers excel in physical attacking, especially against armored foes; however, they are much slower than classes such as the Blade Brandier. Edge Punishers also have higher defense from the heavy armors they can equip.

Weapons ; Lardge double-handed broad swords

Armor ; cloth, light armor. heavy armor

Example ;



Flick Reaper

"The Flick Reaper specializes in attacks meant to keep multiple enemies away. However, they are ineffective at long range."

Flick Reapers are very weak to long range attacks. They're the medium range, "area attack" class. They "flick" multiple enemies and push them away before they can get close enough for melee attacks, but a good Steam Gunner or Lord Partizan could overpower them by attacking from afar.

Weapons ; Scythe

Armor ; Cloth, light armor, heavy armor

Example ;



Harvest Cleric

"Harvest Clerics are experts in healing magic and are allied with the light spirits. They wield a staff in battle in the name of Eir, the Goddess of Tranquility. They can use some attack magic after they reach a certain level, but most concentrate on healing and support magic."

Their favored weapons are staves, which give bonuses to their magic and elemental stats, and can be used in melee combat, being considerably physicially stronger by level than grimoires but weaker than any other type of weapon. In exchange, Harvest Cleric staves give a much lower magic bonus than Shadow Warlock grimoires, though the elemental bonuses are around the same.

Weapons ; Staff, Grimoire, daggers

Armor ; Cloth, light armor

Example ;


Lord Partizan

"Lord Partizans wield a giant lance. No other class can match its piercing power. They have high defensive power compared to other classes, but are weaker against magic."

Lord Partizans have good medium range attacks, but don't excel at "sweeping" attacks like Flick Reapers. Their defense and physical attack stats are very high, with magical attack being their only real weakness. They're also more monster-oriented, with a lot of good armor-piercing and anti-air weapons and skills. Their skill progression for low levels is also among the lowest. Overall, this class can cause the most immediate damage.

Weapons ; Spears, Lance

Armor ; light armor, heavy armor

Example ;


Shadow Warlock

"Shadow Warlocks are experts in attack magic and are allied with the dark spirits. They always carry a book of spells known as a Grimoire to heighten their magic power. Although they can use some healing magic, their repertoire is limited and not very efficient."

Their favored weapons are Grimoires, which give bonuses to their magic and elemental stats, and can be used in melee combat, although with very little effect. Shadow Warlock tomes give a much higher magic bonus and have a much lower physical attack than Harvest Cleric staves, though the elemental bonuses are around the same.

Weapons ; Grimoires, Staff, Dagger

Armor ; Cloth, light armor

Example ;

Shop Keeper*

Shop Keeper is a class restricted to the system admins. They have no combat abillities whatsoever, but can edit the map of an area and edit a users data.

Example ;



Steam Gunner

"They specialize in long-range attack and are weak against close encounters, but if necessary their guns can be used as powerful melee weapons which keep most enemies away."

Steam Gunners are the physical equivalent of Shadow Warlocks. Their shots are skills that operate the exact same way spells do, but deal physical damage instead. Steam Gunners' shots have greater range than any other physical hit, and their physical attack stat has the fastest progression of any class.

Weapons ; Bayonets

Armor ; Cloth, light armor

Example ;





Tribal Grappler

"Tribal Grapplers use their own fists as weapons. They have high agility similar to Twin Blades and possess high HP. However, their low defense value makes it crucial to pay attention in battle."

This class has the advantage of a very high attack speed.

Weapons ; Fists, Gauntlents

Armor ; Cloth

Example ;



Twin Blade

Twin Blades are the most balanced class in The World. They are noted for their superior traveling speed and hit rate. Twin Blades are the proverbial "jack of all trades, master of none" due to the fact that while they have decent attack stat growths and have decent magical stats, they are unable to equip the strongest armors, have lower attack growths than the other classes, and do not have access to stronger magic skills. Their greatest strength lies with their multi-hit skills. Each skill has several elemental versions, and as a result are capable of dealing massive damage to enemies weak against those elements.

Weapons ; Dual-Blades

Armor ; Cloth. light armor

example ;



Werewolf*

Werewolves are an elite class in The World; they were not present in SIGN or the Games, being added to the system sometime between the Twilight Incident and Legend of the Twilight. A hidden class only available through the "Class Change" system to Tribal Grapplers who obtain a certain item, the Werewolf class allows its user to transform from their original class into a wolf form, and vice versa.

Weapons ; Fists, Gauntlents

Armor ; Cloth

Example ;
