Classes

In the world of Ragnarok Online everybody starts as one of two races:

- Doram

- Versatile race that currently only has access to a single class called  Summoner.
- It was designed with new players in mind since it can perform any role needed in a party if the player has the skills and gear for it.

- Norman

- Norman, the human race of Ragnarok Online, was the first, and for a while the only one available, race where you can pick a class from 1 of the 11 branches available to later evolve into 1 of the 19 different available classes. They've access to all the possible roles depending on the class picked.
- You start as a  Novice and, after reaching Job Level 10, you can pick one of the 6 initial classes from the Main Branches available or go with 1 of the 5 Expanded Classes, and their evolutions.
- Be aware that classes from the Main Branches, after reaching 99/50 in the 2nd Class, can Rebirth (don't ignore, bonus are good) instead of jumping directly to the next class - 3rd Class. This provides them, right after the change, extra 100 Stat Points, +25% Max HP & Max SP, and extra skills from the new Rebirth Class. This is almost like a 2nd run of the same class but the max Job Level will extend to 70 providing extra Job Points and Stats.
- Since it's a bit more complex, due to the options available, than the simple Doram and its single class,  Summoner, it's advised only to players that already have some knowledge about the game unless he/she wants to discover the game on his/her own.
Both races have access to their own classes and evolutions although Norman has some of them locked into the gender selected by player at the moment he/she created the character.

Classes locked to Gender
  Dancer | Female

At the end of the day, each class has strong and weak points so pick wisely what you want to play even if, nowadays, with the gear available, most roles can be performed by any class at a very decent level outside of their specialization.
