Your journey begins with character creation. While your initial class choice doesn't permanently lock you into a playstyle (you can re-spec later), it does dictate your starting stats and equipment, which can significantly impact your early game experience.

  • Vagabond: A good all-rounder with high Vigor and Strength, ideal for melee combat.
  • Warrior: Focuses on Dexterity, perfect for dual-wielding and faster weapons.
  • Hero: High Strength and Vigor, a solid choice for heavy weapons and tanking.
  • Bandit: Dexterity and Arcane focused, excellent for ranged combat with bows and status effects.
  • Astrologer: Intelligence-based, specializing in sorceries.
  • Prophet: Faith-based, specializing in incantations.
  • Samurai: Balanced stats with good Dexterity and Endurance, comes with a strong starting Katana and Longbow.
  • Prisoner: Intelligence and Dexterity, a hybrid magic and melee class.
  • Confessor: Faith and Strength, a hybrid magic and melee class.
  • Wretch: Starts at level 1 with all stats at 10, no equipment. For experienced players seeking a true challenge.

Consider your preferred playstyle when choosing. Don't worry too much, as you'll find plenty of weapons and spells to experiment with.
