Classes

Classes in TimeRO: Ragnarok Infinite Zero

Welcome to the Class Guide.

TimeRO is built around the spirit and power level of Pre-Renewal Ragnarok Online. This means the server preserves the tactical pace, class identity, equipment value, and combat philosophy of the classic era, while expanding the universe with new class possibilities.

Our goal is not to turn the game into a Renewal-style power race. Instead, TimeRO brings modern class variety into a Pre-Renewal-balanced environment.

In TimeRO, players can enjoy:

• Classic Pre-Renewal class progression.
• Normal Transcendent Classes.
• Expanded Classes such as Ninja, Gunslinger, Super Novice, Taekwon, Soul Linker, and Star Gladiator.
• Advanced Expanded Classes such as Oboro, Kagerou, Rebellion, Super Novice EX, Soul Reaper, and Star Emperor.
• Additional class paths balanced down to fit the Pre-Renewal universe.
• Custom job-change tasks that are more meaningful and challenging than the original job-change quests.

Core Philosophy

TimeRO classes are designed around three principles:

Principle	Meaning
Pre-Renewal Power Level	Damage, survivability, equipment scaling, and class impact are balanced around the classic Pre-Renewal ecosystem.
Expanded Possibilities	Players can access additional class routes without breaking the identity of the Pre-Renewal game.
Class Identity	Every class has a clear role, a dedicated classroom, job-specific supplies, and a meaningful job-change task.

Arrival at Criatura Academy

After arriving in TimeRO, players unload from the ship and are directed toward Criatura Academy.

Criatura Academy is the main class and job hub of the server. It is where new players learn the world, choose their class path, and begin their progression.

Inside the Academy, each class has its own classroom.

Every classroom contains:

• First Class Job Change NPCs.
• Second Class Job Change NPCs.
• Expanded Class Job Change NPCs where applicable.
• Class-specific equipment vendors.
• Class-specific supplies.
• Basic training information.
• Access to job-change task pages.

Criatura Academy is intended to be the central place where players understand the class system before committing to a path.

Expanded Class Advancement

Expanded Classes are available in TimeRO, but they are balanced to fit the Pre-Renewal world.

This means classes such as Rebellion, Oboro, Kagerou, Soul Reaper, Star Emperor, and Super Novice EX exist, but their power level, scaling, and impact are adjusted to avoid breaking the classic server environment.

Base Expanded Class	Advanced Expanded Class	Balance Direction
Ninja	Oboro / Kagerou	Fast, technical, skill-based combat balanced for Pre-Renewal pacing.
Gunslinger	Rebellion	Firearm specialist with adjusted damage scaling and controlled burst potential.
Super Novice	Super Novice EX	Flexible hybrid class with expanded options but controlled stat and skill impact.
Soul Linker	Soul Reaper	Spiritual support and magic class adapted to avoid Renewal-level scaling.
Star Gladiator	Star Emperor	Celestial fighter balanced around classic map, target, and stance identity.

A classroom usually contains:

Classroom Feature	Purpose
First Class Instructor	Handles the first job change after the Novice reaches Job Level 10.
Second Class Instructor	Handles the second job change after the character reaches Job Level 40–50.
Advanced Instructor	Handles Transcendent or Expanded advancement where applicable.

Task Board	Sends the player to the correct job-change task page.

Every class in TimeRO has a custom job-change task.

Recommended Progression Flow

A standard class path looks like this:

1. Start as Novice.
2. Reach Novice Job Level 10.
3. Enter Criatura Academy.
4. Choose a class classroom.
5. Complete the First Class task.
6. Change into a First Class.
7. Reach Job Level 40–50.
8. Complete the Second Class task.
9. Change into a Second Class.
10. Reach Base Level 99.
11. Perform Rebirth.
12. Become High Novice.
13. Reach High Novice Job Level 10.
14. Follow the Transcendent class path.
15. Complete the appropriate Transcendent task.

Expanded class progression follows a similar structure, but returns to the appropriate expanded base class after rebirth before advancing into its higher form.

Important Balance Note

Although TimeRO offers advanced expanded classes, the server remains balanced around a Pre-Renewal power level.

This means:

• Advanced expanded classes are adjusted to fit the server’s combat environment.
• Skills may be rebalanced.
• Damage values may differ from official Renewal behavior.
• Cooldowns, scaling, and effects may be adjusted.
• No class is intended to invalidate classic Pre-Renewal roles.

The goal is to create new possibilities inside the Pre-Renewal universe, not to replace it.
