Ragnarok Online 2 guide to choosing a class by Tiramisu.
Hey there i see some threads asking around what classes to choose so i thought this might help a little. For those who played Ragnarok Online, to choose Ragnarok Online 2 classes you can just forget anything you know in RO1 coz their skills and ability is quite different compared to RO1. Don’t expect much as i only played RO2 for a month Bear in mind that the skill names that i’m going to mention are not accurate because it is translated from korea and it is not the official english skill name.
Note: only Normans can change classes. Other races like Ellr and Dimago dun have classes.
Novice:
Weapon: Short Sword/Long Sword
Though most of you will advance to others classes, novice is also an interesting class as they now have more skills to support them unlike novice in RO1. With good stats and skills, they can be strong close ranged fighters. The most popular skill for novice is the Opportune Strike/Quick Hit which enable you to strike once with a sword in a higher damage compare to normal damage. This skill can also be brought to your advance class. Highly recommended for those aiming to be a swordie.
Swordsman:
Weapon: Long Sword
Swordsman attacks in RO2 is quite low compare to other classes and the most effective way to increase their attacks is by depending on skills like Long Sword Mastery and Warriors Body. Furthermore, before you change your class from novice to swordsman it is recommended to stay as a novice until you’re level 15 because Opportune Strike and Tension can help a lot for swordie. Tension is basically a skill to maintain LP(Letalis Points) a little longer when you’re not in combat mode. Letalis Points can be gain from using certain skills that gives LP and LP is needed for using powerful skills. LP will decrease when you’re not in combat mode.
Thief:
Weapon: Short Sword
Thief’s skill able to deal a high damage to monster and has a skill that enable you to add element poison to your own weapon and the weapon of your party member. In addition there is a steal skill which is useful as you don’t need to kill a monster to acquire the item needed for quests. They also have a skill which is alike to Sniper’s Wind Walk that enable you to walk faster.
Recruit:
Weapon: Damp Flinte/Rifle
Recruits on Ragnarok Online 2 are Archer/Gunslinger and obviously depend on long range attacks. However unlike archers, Recruits can switch to short range attack as well. Recruits tend to move around their enemy a lot while attacking them so for those who are lazy to do so don’t choose recruit .
At the start of close beta in korea, many players choose to become recruits but as months passed recruits are loosing popularity because a lot of people say their skill doesn’t deliver higher damage compare to normal attacks and some skills even deal lower damage than normal attacks. Perhaps it is a bug and hope that this won’t happen in RO2SEA.
Enchanter:
Weapon: Sword Stick
A mix between Wizard and Priest as they have attacking skills like Fire Bolt, Ice Arrow, Summon Lightning and more that deals a ridiculously high damage to monsters. For example, if a swordsman need 5 hits to kill a pukui, enchanter only require 1 hit to finish pukui off. Next is the Heal skill that is able to heal the yourself and others like in RO1 so enchanters are always in demand for parties. Casting time very slow especially when you’re lagging. A very popular class in RO2.
Clown:
Weapon: Short Sword
Clown is kind of like Thief + Priest. They have a lot of skills using poison like adding poison element to their weapon, poisoning their enemy’s armor and attacking their enemy with poison. Their Self Heal skill is quite popular and many players choose to be a clown because of that. They have a lot of skills that help them to support party members like Healing Wave, Fighting Spirit, Mental Wave and Healing Spring.
About the weapon thinggy, actually a class can use different weapons but you have to buy the mastery skill for different weapon. For example swordies can use damp flinte like recruits so that they have long ranged attack as well heh
Don’t be afraid to spend a small amount of rufi and time to try out all the classes to choose which 1 suits you best as normans can switch classes in ease.
btw… 10,000 Rufi = 1 zeny
Enjoy playing Ragnarok Online 2!

Also have to say that if you’re a newbie, you should start with enchanter since it’s the easiest class to lvl with.
June 4th, 2008 at 11:34 am
/agree with Yucky
i tried the private server (http://www.euphro2.com) the easiest and fastest class to level is an enchanter, but then again the rest of the class is bugged and a lot of skills aren’t working either.
I tried a both type of enchanter (melee type, and the caster type) which i find the easiest is the caster type.
This is what i do,
put all stat for INT
focus your expense on skills
- Firebolt
- Heal
- Lightning
so far my enchanter is lv 38, and i haven’t met any difficulties on killing things.
June 4th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I agree with you both. Going for a melee-caster is really a wise thing to do but you need to start off as a swordsman, level all the necessary skills that would enable your caster to take use melee and take melee damage later. One should raise the swordsman first to a high level with high level skills then change into a caster.
June 4th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Enchanter FTW!
i always caster
June 4th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
im gonna be a caster as well.
hopefully it rocks as much as in ro1
June 4th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
I hope they didnt overpower thiefs again, yuk…
June 5th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Thanks for the guide. Along with these guys’ input about it, I guess I’ll have no problems.
June 11th, 2008 at 3:16 am
hmm.. i wanna try the recruit job. They have this Guns as weapon that makes them cool! coz i used to be a gunslinger back @ my RO times.^_^
June 11th, 2008 at 8:20 am
mm
June 13th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
i used to play caster classes but i think that swordman is the best choice *-* we all need a good tanker
June 14th, 2008 at 12:39 am
I think I might try the Recruit first. It sounds kind of like the hunter class in WoW but more fun.
June 14th, 2008 at 10:48 am
healing and offensive spells >_> enchanter seems overpowered.
June 15th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
damn this site has everything lol very good guide helped me choose to become a recruit
June 19th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
I’ve tried EuphRO2 and Novice, Swordsman, and Recruit we’re my favorite classes.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:29 am
melee casters must be kicking
June 21st, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Rifles sound awesome. XD I can’t wait to play.
July 14th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Thanks for the guide. Gonna go rifle for sure! =D
July 22nd, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Enchanter is cool…And i think the thief sounds good since it can enchant poison..But i don’t like that they have made enchanters have heal and such powerful attacks…Maybe a to powerful of a character i haven’t played so i really don’t know. Sounds good thanks for the guide. I’m basing what ever on ro1 though
July 22nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
I really wanna try the thief out in this one. I loved making SinX’s in RO and I’m really hoping they bring in the advanced classes.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:28 am
I think I overplayed the thief in RO and I am sure that its followup on ROII will be(is) just as effective. I must say the ranger class looks interesting as well.
July 31st, 2008 at 2:22 am
This will totally come in handy!
August 2nd, 2008 at 9:27 pm
When I first played RO1, I fell in love with someone riding an pekobird wearing a crusader outfit. Appart from that, always had a weakness for knights in awesome armors.
Swordsman seems promising. Enchanter seem overpowered and somehow makes me think about that anime whose name I don’t know..
Then that ranger class seems like it could be fun too.
Will have to check out the other two races first though.
August 3rd, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Thanks’s for this:)
Probably go with the thief, because it’s the coolest char for me:D
August 4th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Great. Thanks for the info. This will certainly come in handy.
August 4th, 2008 at 1:44 am
what are the stats i need for recruit? CON?
August 4th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Yes, CON for range damage and range crit.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Cool, i think i’ll choose the enchanter..
August 4th, 2008 at 10:35 am
again, can’t wait!
August 7th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
i really wanna try enchanter :))
August 8th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Tip for you guys:
I found out while playing that novice skill complement well thief ones. Thives are an excellent class since they attack fast and can deal critical damage and novices have “Quick Blow”, “Insight Strike” and “Mastery of Kings” that let them use their skills to full potential. Combined with the thief’s “Manhood Breaker” the novice’s “Quick Blow” let you gain LP extremely quickly and then use a very powerful attack “Insight Strike” combine this with a good critical rate and at lvl 15 you could be doing a whooping 350 dmg (450+ with up to date novice skills) with it and there is no cast time unlike with enchanters. Then there is the passive skills like mastery of kings and short sword mastery that boost your overall attacks and let you take much higher lvl monsters then you previously could.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
ill wanna try the recruit job.
i luv gunz @_@
August 8th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Thnx for the tip Maz! Btw, what’s your stats on your thief? I tried using a thief but I never get far coz I missed my enchanter! lol. I just can’t bear to think of killing mobs for 8-10 hits when I can kill them at 3-4 hits with my enchanter (Chromedome). lol.
I used three stats for my thief: STR (damage), DEX (crit), CON (fast attck and accuracy (i think) ). I focused more on Dex though.
August 9th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Right now im lvl 15 base 14 thief 13 novice, my main stat is DEX for crits followed by STR (mostly with gear) and then CON for fast attack.
18STR, 18DEX, 12CON
I kill mobs with much more then 8 hits more like 15-20 but they fall in less then 20 sec and are often 1-2 lvls higher then me. The problem with my thief is some skills don’t work properly (Bleed and wound)reducing my overall damage but with good str and dex, I can do a couple of 300+ hits amongst my regular attaks.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:38 am
The enchanter sounds pretty cool:D
August 12th, 2008 at 2:15 am
I really want to try RO 2 I want to try out a clown :O
August 12th, 2008 at 2:58 am
This sounds cool I really want to try RO2 the Thief looks awesome!
August 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
recruits are pretty convenient, just add CON and you have powerhouse. im planning to make a thief, kind of new to this class
August 12th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
As soon as I saw that Enchanters were the healers/buffers, I wanted to play as one. xD But I must admit, I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t make two seperate magic classes — one for healing/buffing, and one for offensive magic. :\ Throwing all those in there together just makes the enchanter seem overpowered. But then again, you can’t have all the skills, so a lot of interesting builds will probably surface.
Swordies and clowns look pretty cool too, but I think I’ll end up being an enchanter in the end, anyways.. xD
August 13th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Thief seems a really insteresting class, cant wait to try it out. =)
August 13th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Enchanters get black magic and white magic o_O Why did they combine two classes? Seems too strong.
August 14th, 2008 at 5:01 am
CASTING thief! LOL! Thief xclass to enchanter.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
thanks for the info! now i’m down to either choosing between enchanter or clown
August 16th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
enchanters the way to go lol
August 17th, 2008 at 9:01 am
super guide, now i know who i want to be :DD
August 17th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
so if i didn’t want to start as an enchanter what would be the next easiest job to lv
August 17th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
yea im gona be a swordsman, i love being a wall of metal
August 17th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
mh i think i going to try the clown class… i played the thief class in ro1 for a long time but if you’re not able to get a party it’s just eating pots that keeps you alive for a few minutes
August 18th, 2008 at 5:30 am
I like the self healing element of the clown.
August 18th, 2008 at 6:21 am
clowns a bit hard to level at first coz most of their skills are for support. You’ll have to rely on novice skills to survive on the early stage of the game especially if you can’t find any party. You need to stick to novice for quite a while, level those melee skills then change to a clown.
August 18th, 2008 at 11:23 am
thanks for the info, will go for thief at first, kinda tired of playing ranged classes.
August 18th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
i wanna try first the swordman…played this class in Ro too
August 18th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
i want be swordman and thief ^^
August 18th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
i think i’m gonna go for thief.
Since i would like to know how’s those manhood breaker skill work?
since euphro2 was bugged like hell….LOL…
August 18th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Спасибо, что не забываете свои почитателей и читателей! Пишите еще!
August 19th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Clowns and novices have a heightened healing rate with certain skills, it is important to use these as they minimize the amount of time you spend sitting and healing. Clowns are also one of the rare classes capable of fighting underwater for a long period of time. I admire anyone who plays a clown and sticks to the class, anyone.
August 19th, 2008 at 1:23 am
well…is very great explaination on these jobs~
Great job~!!!
Can’t wait to play thief…haha~!!! =D
August 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
A bit vague but I found it somewhat useful still, thanks for the guide.
August 20th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Wow, Clowns seem pretty fun to play with. I think thats gonna be the class I am gonna try to go for. Hopefully its not too hard to play with. Thank for the info.
August 20th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
interesting different classes…XD
August 23rd, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Swordsmen are weak >=p
Swordswomen aren’t. >=D Go us~
August 24th, 2008 at 2:05 am
HAHA!!! thnks alot, nice guide…
i would wan 2 noe more!!!
August 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Hmm swordsman and enchancer seems to be good classes, the guide makes the choose easier!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:15 am
To be honest, Enchanters really aren’t the fasted job to level up with. They really lack in the HP department and this becomes a crucial neccessity once you hit up Alfhiem Forest, Alfhiem Poro Island & Nunlif Dungeon. Enchanters are about the 3rd fastest monster killers on the game, 1st would be Thiefs, 2nd Clowns. Thiefs are the fastest and maybe even the strongest job for RO2. I have 85 Enchanter jobs and now i’ll be changing to thief untill Lv. 99. I’ll also be trying out a full STR Enchanter and I’ll see what thats like~
August 31st, 2008 at 10:11 am
ayos ung thief ah… mabilis magkapera dyan, madaming quest items ehehe
September 4th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
I would love to play as a swordsman but maybe I will make an enchanter first.
Can’t wait to play!
Harhar…
September 5th, 2008 at 9:25 am
As much as it seems difficult to survive as a clown,thats one class I cant wait to play with.Since we can use different weapons,it would prove to be interesting.A clown with a damp flinte..Singing with a gun,yeah,why not. xD
September 5th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
hmmmm.. still cant decide on which class to create…
September 5th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
uhmm… is the recruit skill in korean open beta still bugged???
September 5th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
i think they should balance the skills
September 11th, 2008 at 2:08 am
donno which class should i choose….
September 12th, 2008 at 10:11 am
i gonna be a Recruit,
coz i love their costume, it looks cool!!
September 13th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Recruits sound the most awesome. I think ill choose them
September 14th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
dont the other races have classes?
September 14th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
thanx for the guide !!! i wonder when that other race will be available O.O
September 14th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Still not quite sure what class to be, most prob be a thief!
September 14th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
:O thx for the guide ….. i wish the other race would be available
September 15th, 2008 at 3:44 am
Recruits sounds cool that’s my pic
September 15th, 2008 at 10:22 am
thanks for the guide…
what is the primary stat of Thief? Dex ba?
September 15th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
So CLOWN and ENCHANTERS both have healing skills??? This two will be in-demand for party….
I will choose my fave or normal character job which is ENCHANTER bcoz in RO1 I am a priestess and I also have a wizard….
see yah guys online /gg
September 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
it will be hard to level a recruit bcoz u wont know wat stats are u going to pump…u have to know if u want long range or short range….
i’ve been a long range since ro1 so i’ll stick to RECRUIT and long range attack.
September 18th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Gunslinger here…i mean Recruit ^_^ i wan’t to try sumtin not my type…since i’ve been a tank since RO1-GUILDWARS-FLYFF-CABAL (currently)…wan’t to try the life being pawned LOL just kidding…
September 22nd, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Okay, so seeing as how Enchanters wield Cane Swords I immediately gravitate toward them, but then with powerful offensive magic and healing they seem a bit overpowered. Is there any feasible way to make a sort of hybrid warrior/mage out of an Enchanter? If so, can I still use the Sword Stick (personal favorite weapon)?
September 23rd, 2008 at 5:19 am
@bkdubs123
You can create a melee-caster character if you want a hybrid enchanter. I have state my opinion about this build on my Ragnarok Online 2 Enchanter Guide. Do check it out if you have the time. You can still use swordstick even if you have changed or plan to change a job. Just select “CHANGE JOB ONLY” instead of “CHANGE JOB AND WEAPON” in changing your job.
September 24th, 2008 at 12:17 am
@SirShatterstar
Actually, I did find that guide immediately after posting here, and was pleasantly surprised! I left a comment there though, still not quite sure how I’m going to build my character, and any assistance is always welcome.
September 24th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
So enchanter is like.. a combo of an acolyte and a mage…
September 24th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
THX for this guide like it wen peoples take the time to do elaborate guide. you are a god
September 25th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Enchanters the way to go lol ;D
September 26th, 2008 at 3:51 am
the enchant class is the best class to go?
September 28th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Is still there such thing as 2nd Job and 3rd job classes in this game just like before?
October 1st, 2008 at 3:23 am
Thanks for the guide.. Its really help me alot..
I think i will select enchanter as my first character.
Hehe..
October 6th, 2008 at 12:21 am
wad stat do swordman need to pump?
October 6th, 2008 at 3:01 am
Enchanters sound the best, im usually always mage classes. Enchanter FTW~
October 6th, 2008 at 11:47 am
@lolz
Pure str lolz. hehe.
@phail
I heard thief rocks on higher levels. you can shift from enchanter to thief later on the game.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Oh cool, i never would think the thief would be one of the best classes.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
thanks for the guide..
This will come in handy.. i wanna try thief..
October 24th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
well, it really looks like they combined some classes to form new ones..
i heard many people commenting on enchanter..well yeah, with those skills, its pretty obvious it would be popular…
but try some unique class like clown, who knows? it may be a very good class for you
October 27th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Will there be a 2nd class for enchanter like wizard?
October 27th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Enchanters sounds way more interesting now since we don’t have to rely on vitata. ahha
November 3rd, 2008 at 1:54 am
=))))))
