[[File:RONOVICE 9152.png|frame]]

''"I want to fight tougher monsters!"''

 

The Novice is where everybody starts. Novices do not incur any EXP penalty upon death, and regain 50% HP when respawning. You may also choose which starting Stats to have. Once Job Level 10, Novices can change into one of the 6 main first classes or one of the 4 expanded classes.

* [[Featureless Protagonist]]

* [[Faking the Dead]]: One of a Novice's skills, can't be used after attaining a job.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Female Novices while wearing '''BREASTPLATES''', [[Ragnarok Wisdom]] speculates that their breastplates are made of jellopy, a jelly-like substance found in Porings

* [[You Have Researched Breathing]]: /sit

Aside from the tropes gotten from being all the first classes in one,

* [[An Adventurer Is You]]

* [[Easter Egg]]: Made into a class...

== 1st Job Classes ==

 

[[File:swordsman 1126.png|frame]]

''"Defend the right..."''

 

Swordsmen change from Novices who have gained 10 Job levels. The tank class of Ragnarok Online, they have the highest base HP of all classes. They are also able to equip most melee weapons, although they have an inclination to use swords and daggers. A Swordsman is capable of leveling solo, but he or she can also work well in groups and parties. Upon reaching at least Job Level 40, the Swordsman can change into either the Knight or Crusader class.

* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: usually tanking.

* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]

 

 

[[File:mage 2184.png|frame]]

''"The force of nature..."''

 

Mages rely on their skills as their main source of damage, and such attacks are magically based and only take into account the target's Magical Defense, and not their Physical Defense. Furthermore, all of a Mage's spells are elemental, thus meaning the accurate use of the correct spell against the correct monsters is highly important.

* [[Black Mage]]

* [[Black Magic]]: not sure about the "ghost element" thing (soul strike, napalm beat, etc.)...

 

 

[[File:Thief 8227.png|frame]]

''"A benevolent picaroon..."''

 

From job level 40 to 50, Thieves are given the choice to take the trial to join the mysterious order of the Assassins or continue plotting ever more daring crimes as a Rogue.

* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: usually DPS

* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]

* [[Video Game Stealing]]: Successful use of the Steal skill gives you one random item from the monster's droplist. This item is "extra" and doesn't affect the actual drops. Of course, many droplists contain bodyparts from their monsters...so yeah, you can "steal" the beak of a bird that's attacking you (with that beak), kill it...and get the beak again.

* [[You Have Researched Breathing]]: '''Quest Skills''': Find Stone, Stone Fling, and throwing some sand (Sand Attack).

 

[[File:250px-Character Archer 5790.png|frame]]

''"Penetrate the evil..."''

 

At job level 40, an Archer can choose what he/she wanted to be: the swift and powerful damage-dealing Hunter; or the support-themed Bard/Dancer. This is also a unique case of class progression: all male Archers become Bards, while all female ones became Dancers.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]

* [[Multishot]]: Double Strafe and Arrow Shower

* [[Trick Arrow]]: Various elemental arrows, Drill arrows, '''IMMATERIAL ARROWS''', and etc.

 

Merchants are an aptly named class in the game. They (mostly) deal with the economy and are able to generate cash at an increased rate with their ''Overcharge'' and ''Discount'' skills; they can also employ ''Pushcarts'' as a kind of second inventory, and if they have this they can do ''Vending'' to sell valuable items to other players. In battle, they can hold their own thanks to their ''Mammonite'' skill. Most players will have one (or two) Merchants, if only for vending wares, discounting, and/or inventory expansion.

 

At job level 40, a Merchant can choose between becoming a weapon-crafting and battle-oriented Blacksmith, or a consumable-crafting and support-oriented Alchemist.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: A Merchant's main weapon.

* [[Bag of Holding]]: Your pushcart is a variant.

 

 

The main support class for 1st Classes, Acolytes have a specialized skill set geared primarily for support. They are the only 1st Class that can ''Heal'', and augment a multitude of stats with their support skills. Always in a high demand, they are vital to the survival of a particular adventuring group.

 

At job level 40, they may choose to become a support-oriented Priest or the more martial Monk.

* [[Church Militant]]: People wanting to be Monks gave this flavor to their Acolytes.

* [[Revive Kills Zombie]]: The more minor variant, as Heal harms undead-type monsters. It is also the main way for a full-support Acolyte to [[Level Grind]].

=== Special 1st Class Jobs ===

 

* [[Combo]]: the Taekwon Rankers

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]

 

 

* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: Killing Stroke

* [[Elemental Powers]]

 

 

* [[Badass Coat]]

* [[The Gunslinger]]: duh

== Advanced Jobs ==

 

* [[The Berserker]], for Knight builds capitalizing the...

** [[Berserk Button]]: In a surprisingly meta and straightforward fashion. Lord Knights have this ability, which is simply termed ''Berserk''; It gave them very high power boost at the cost of all of your other abilities (even the ones to speak) and regeneration. Of course, you the player activate it ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|with a push of a button]]''.

* [[Magic Knight]]: Rune Knights are knights wielding powerful [[Black Magic]].

 

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Royal Guard's Banding ability is essentially this, since it adds power and abilities of a few Royal Guards with the skill in close proximity.

* [[Blade on a Stick]]: One-handed spears combined with shields are usually the Crusaders' equipment loadout of choice.

 

 

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Warlock's Tetra Vortex

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: To monsters, at the very least.

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: female Wizard and High Wizard.

 

* [[Cast from Hit Points]]

* [[Detached Sleeves]]

 

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: female Assassin Cross.

* [[Critical Hit]]: one of the most popular builds for them.

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Assassin Cross has a tattered red scarf.

 

* [[The Archer]]: Rogue builds centered around bows tend to be like this.

* [[Jack of All Trades]]: Some peculiar Rogue builds may elect to pursue ''both'' branches of weapon masteries at the expense of every other skills, making them dangerous physical attackers for both long and short range.

 

 

* [[The Archer]]

* [[The Beast Master]]: Hunter and Sniper get falcons, while Rangers get big wolves called Wargs.

* [[Rain of Arrows]]: Arrow Storm

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: female Hunter and both gender of Sniper and Ranger

* [[The Archer]]

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: the basis of Frost Joke/Unbarring Octave.

* [[Rain of Arrows]]: Arrow Vulcan and Severe Rainstorm

 

* [[The Archer]]

* [[Magic Dance]]

 

 

* [[An Axe to Grind]]/[[Drop the Hammer]]

* [[The Blacksmith]]: well duh

* [[Wrench Wench]]: female Mechanic

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: female Biochemist

* [[An Axe to Grind]]

 

 

* [[Beehive Barrier]]: Kyrie Eleison

* [[Dual Wield]]: accidentally done if you used 1-hand Books and a book-shaped Shield. Of course, as the book-shields are Shields….

* [[Turn Undead]]

 

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: though nowadays most of them prefer maces.

* [[Church Militant]]

 

 

* [[Combo]]

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]

* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: oddly enough. Though the official site describes that they only use the energy inside the books.

 

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: they lose the kicks skills upon becoming one

* [[Critical Hit]]: Esma

 

 

* [[Dual Wield]]

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:

* 4th floor – Randel Lorentz, Celia Alde, Alphoccio Bazil, Trentini, Flamel Emul, Gertie Wie, Chen Ryu

 

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The most popular interpretation for Howard and Flamel (who are incidentally based off the Merchant class)

* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|The Mobs Based Off The Player Classes Are Cheating Bastards/Bitchs]]: A few cast player skills at way higher levels than the player cast-able max. For example, Kathyrne Keyron casts a level 26 Jupitel Thunder when players can only cast up to level 10 max one; the MVP version of Egnigem Cenia can throw a spiral pierce/clashing spiral (a skill that's exclusive to the Lord Knight Class for players) despite being based of off the base swordman/woman class.

** [[OT3|Seyren / Egnigem / Randel]]: other than being Swordsman-derived, they have lots of potential just because they’re closely tied to Megginjard’s Seal Quest.

** Also, Egnigem / Doppelganger. They even appear together on one of the floors in the Endless Tower.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]

* [[Memetic Molester]]: Howard and Gertie (naturally)

** Howard’s element was changed from Earth to Water. Wizards who rely on Storm Gust need to think twice now.

** Renewal pushed everyone to insanely high levels (around 120-150 for normals, and ‘’’160’’’ for [[MV Ps]]) with low amounts of EXP per kill. Although 2nd floor’s changes are acceptable, the 3rd floor’s changes received major backlash. Never mind that most people who complained about it were people who were spoiled by other dungeons’ easiness.
