After reaching base and job level 10 as a Novice, just like in the classic game, Ragnarok M: Etneral Love (Ragnarok Mobile) players are also given a choice between Six 1st Job Classes. It’s often advised that you choose a class suitable to your play style and most importantly one that you would enjoy. However having a basic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each class can certainly help you make a better choice and avoid straying down a frustrating path.
Oh! and that selection screen you encounter during initial character creation (shown above) doesn’t affect what class you become, it’s just a nice preview.
Ragnarok Mobile Classes

| Bard | Clown | |
| Merchant | Blacksmith | Whitesmith |

| Acolyte | Preist | High Preist |
| Monk | Champion |
Yup, that’s a big class tree to choose from. For now we’re going to cover some of the more popular picks from each base class.
Lord Knight
Strength
- More flexible tank than Paladin as Lord Knight has higher damage output.
- Tanks have high demand in Endless Tower, MVP and Guild Valhalla Raid Party.
Weakness
- Slow farmer early to mid game. (Without Nagan Weapon and guild runes, bash is easily outclassed by SinX sonic blow).
- Tanking higher tier MVP’s outclassed by Paladin.
- Melee cannot tower farm (stand in one spot using stay alert skill). Farming time can be wasted on walking around where mobs are killed by other players before you can land first hit.
High Wizard
Strength
Weakness
- Best AOE DPS (Meteor Storm).
- Arguably the best farmer.
- Crowd control skills are very useful in WoE, Endless Tower, MVP and Guild Valhalla raids.
- Meteor Storm Skill requires unlocking guild runes. (Requires significant Gold Medals that are attained via guild donations with the use of expensive boss materials)
- Restricted farming options as optimal farming requires one hitting mobs.
Sniper
Strength
- Very good single target DPS.
- Great for getting last hit on MVP.
- More flexible farmer than Wizard as one shot is not required.
- Higher range increases viable tower mode farming locations.
Weakness
- Weak in PvP and WoE due to lack of defensive skills.
Whitesmith
Strength
- Very good farmer. (Hammerfall AOE Build)
- Bonus crafting material when farming (Can be sold to NPC or used to craft consumables/equipment)

Weakness

Assassin Cross
Strength
- Very good single target DPS.
- Easier farming early game compared to swordsman tree.
- Great in WoE due to stealth and high mobility skills.
Weakness
- Low priority in Endless Tower, MVP and Valhalla Guild Raids.
