⚔
⚔ Class System — TimeRO
TimeRO is built on the spirit of Pre-Renewal Ragnarok Online — tactical pace, class identity, and meaningful equipment. Modern class variety comes through Expanded and Advanced Expanded classes, all balanced for the classic era. Every class has a dedicated classroom at Criatura Academy, class-specific supplies, and a custom job-change task more meaningful than the original.
Core Philosophy
⚖️
Pre-Renewal Power Level
Damage, survivability, equipment scaling, and class impact are balanced around the classic Pre-Renewal ecosystem. No class invalidates another. The tactical pace of the original era is preserved.
✨
Expanded Possibilities
Ninja, Gunslinger, Taekwon, Super Novice, Soul Linker, and Star Gladiator — alongside Advanced forms Oboro, Kagerou, Rebellion, Super Novice EX, Soul Reaper, and Star Emperor — all adjusted to fit Pre-Renewal.
🎯
Class Identity
Every class has a clear role, a dedicated classroom in Criatura Academy, job-specific supplies, and a custom job-change task designed to teach you what the class does — not just to gatekeep progression.
Criatura Academy
🏛 The Main Class Hub — Your First Destination
After arriving in TimeRO, players head directly to Criatura Academy. Each class family has its own dedicated classroom inside the Academy — the main progression point for that job family.

Expanded Class Progression
🌌 Expanded Classes in a Pre-Renewal World
TimeRO offers expanded and advanced expanded classes while keeping them balanced around the server's Pre-Renewal power level. Advanced expanded jobs are marked exactly like Transcendent classes with the same burning Trans badge.

Ninja Family
Shadow and technique path
🔫
Gunslinger Family

🌟
Super Novice Family
Versatile hybrid path
☀️
Taekwon Family
Celestial and soul paths
Important: advanced expanded classes are available in TimeRO, but they are tuned to fit the server's Pre-Renewal balance. Their role is to add new playstyles, not to invalidate classic class progression.
Expanded Classes
Expanded classes open new playstyles inside the Pre-Renewal universe. Advanced forms are balanced down — skills, scaling, and damage may differ from official Renewal behavior. They do not replace classic job roles.

Important Balance Note
⚖️
Pre-Renewal Power Level — Always
Although TimeRO offers Advanced Expanded Classes, the server remains balanced around a Pre-Renewal power level. 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.
