Before we move onto the classes themselves, we just want to briefly explain what making your class choice entails. Classes in Ragnarok M are called Jobs, and you start as a Novice. At level 10, you can choose your first Job, which is where you’ll start to develop your playstyle.
We’ll dig into the different Job options later in this guide but, ultimately, the difference between them is in how they fight. There are melee, ranged, magic, healing, and stealthy options, among more, and you can further customise your characters as the various different roles of DPS, Tank, Support, and more as you progress, picking up further Jobs along the way.
So we’d really recommend studying the various different Job options below to find the one that’s right for you. Take a look at the further Job options that unlock once you’ve picked your base Job too, as they can really differ in play style.
If you like dealing insane damage at long range, the Archer is the Job choice for you. They deal high damage to single targets at the longest range in the game, differing from the Mage who specialises in AoE attacks at a shorter distance.
The weakness of the Archer is that it can’t take many hits before falling in battle, and it will struggle against groups given its lack of AoE attacks. It excels in groups though – particularly against bosses, where it’s insane single target damage will help bring them down quickly.
The Archer can progress to the Hunter Job.

| Double Strafe | Active | Fires 2 arrows that deal double damage to an enemy. |
| Vulture’s Eye | Passive | Permanently increases range by 5% and hit by 2. |
| Arrow Shower | Active | Shoots 4 waves of arrows to the target area, each wave dealing 75% damage to up to 8 enemy units. |
| Arrow Repel | Active | Shoots a powerful arrow, dealing 200% damage to the target and knocking it back. |

| Ankle Snare | Active | Lay traps in specified areas. The enemy caught in the trap will be snared for 2 seconds (this effect cannot be removed by Panacea). At most 2 traps can be laid at the same time. The same target can’t be snared within 1.5 seconds after receiving a snare effect. |
The Acolyte is your healing and support option in Ragnarok M, though it can deal moderate damage to enemies with its harmful skills. You can also fight in melee with a Mace or Knuckles, or at range with a Staff.
If you’re the sort of player that prefers to support their team over dealing damage, the Acolyte is the choice for you. We’d strongly recommend playing with a friend though, as your damage won’t be very high.
We’d also argue that the Acolyte is a good choice for players that like to do a bit of everything. It can fight in melee or at range, deal damage, and support players. You certainly won’t be bored playing an Acolyte.
The Acolyte can progress to the Priest Job.

That’s not to say that it’s no good in combat. In fact, it can deal huge damage with its Cart skills and support its allies with a variety of buffs.
