Ragnarok Online, often referred to as RO, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Ragnarok Online uses a combination of isometric sprites and three dimensional graphics in order to present the world of the game. Players are able to select the job, hair color and hair style for each of their characters. Gender also varies from player to player, but all characters on a given account have the same gender due to technical limitations and Gravity policy. Ragnarok Online, like many other massively multiplayer online games, does not have a set plot. The game is essentially open-ended; players are free to roam the game world at their leisure with the only limiting factors being the ferocity of the local monsters, and less frequently, in-game payments for access or the prerequisite of a transcendent character.
Much of Ragnarok Online's gameplay centers around leveling as that is the basis of a characters strength. Killing monsters of equal level is the main resource for experience but it can also be received through the completion of certain quests.

Transcendent Classes

* Lord Knight: Even stronger, some Knight's lust for strength leads them down the path of a Berserker where their rage consumes them until death. Others manage to calm themselves before death takes them. As always, these men of strength are always at the front lines of the king's army. Their Spiral Pierce gives incredible amounts of damage by using their spear's weight. They can also increase their minimum damage and hit rate with skill. Parrying also enables Two handed sword Lord Knights to negate most melee attacks.

* Assassin Cross: An elite group of Assassins who are taught a secret technique: poisoning themselves to strengthen their body. More agile than the normal Assassins, these are very powerful with their splash damaging Meteor Assault and Soul Destroyer (Soul Breaker) which is both based on the INT and ATK stats of the player.

* Biochemist: A bit of a darker side of Alchemists. With their powerful potions, they now use the skills Acid Bomb (Acid Demonstration) to deal high damage to those with high VIT and Full Chemical Protection to help stop their equipment from being destroyed by others. They can turn "toughness against them" in the form of Acid Bomb or Acid Demonstration which depend on the user's INT and the opponent's VIT. This class is known as Creator in other localizations.

* Champion: Though given another chance by the gods, the monks once again turn to training their physical strength and ignoring the call to help others. Now with the power of the gods, they are able to strike and kill in one hit. The combo capabilities of Champion is far more powerful than Monks. Champions can now call five spirits all at once. They can pull off the deadly Guillotine Fist (Asura Strike) faster than Monks, and deliver a devastating palm strike. Champions are truly a powerful class and deadly killer.

* Gypsy: With more lithe and agile bodies granted by the gods, Gypsies are hard to resist especially when one begins her dance. Not a single drop of sweat can be seen. Every dance and movement seemingly effortless. Graceful dance is her specialty, dancing gracefully to lure the monster to its death with the newly acquired Arrow Vulcan skill.

* High Priest: Despite the many skills taught to them by the Priests of Prontera Church, these men and women still need to learn a few more from the gods themselves. Now able to create areas where no violence may occur, they are able to heal more, bless more and serve even more. They are truly a gift from the gods.

* High Wizard: Once a wizard is taught secrets from the gods, they become one of the Elite. They deal even more damage than before. Wreaking havoc in battle, they kill faster with their damage enhancing skills.

* MasterSmith: Stronger versions of Blacksmiths, they forge more and refine easier. They are the only job in the game to uprgade weapons with higher chances than NPC's. The +10 weapons can be easily achieved by Mastersmiths. They deal larger amounts of damage with High Speed Cart Ram (Cart Termination) and can destroy their enemies armor and weapons. They can power up themselves with bigger amounts of money in the form of Maximum Overthrust. This job is known as Whitesmith in other localizations.

* Minstrel: Taught new songs by the gods themselves, Minstrels are now a powerful class. They are able to enchant the enemy with different music and deal large amounts of damage with Melody Strike before the effect wears out. Minstrel and Gypsy job can also give half their stats to a supported character enabling the supported fighter to increase their damage. This job is known as Clown in other localizations.

* Paladin: An even stronger version of Crusaders. They now have skills such as Pressure to deal damage to those who disbelieve in God and Battle Chant to help themselves and their friends. They can use Martyr's Reckoning to increase their offensive capabilities in exchange for their life or use Rapid Smiting which depends on the STR and the weight of the shield.

* Scholar: The blend of supportive and offensive properties of Sages are raised up to a whole new level for Scholars. Instead of focusing on the offensive aspect of magic, scholars are able to support other people by being able to convert their health into SP using a skill called Indulge (HP Conversion in other localizations). Scholars can also trade their SP for another player's using Soul Exhale (Soul Exchange in other localizations), which is useful for party members and allies that are low on SP. Scholars can even destroy the SP of enemies using Soul Siphon (Soul Burn in other localizations). This attack causes mental damage to the opponent and completely reduces their SP to zero, preventing them from using their abilities. Scholars have a myriad of magical skills that are useful for many different situations. The power of the Scholar can be advanced in magemelee and magic combat through the skill Double Casting which enables them to use the same spell twice without using SP. This class is known as Professor in other localizations.

* Sniper: First thought to wield guns, Snipers are the advanced class of Hunters. No longer focused on merely bows and arrows nor traps, these men now focus on their lifelong friend, the falcon. When friendship strengthens, so does their power. They also have skills that amplify their bow mastery.

* Stalker: Stalkers are masters of hiding and stealth. Improve Concentrations, Ruwach and Sight can never detect a hidden Stalker by using their skill Stalk. They can be right behind you and you would never know. They were originally trained to spy upon the Assassins for the Rogue guild but refusing, they now roam alone through the lands. As a Stalker, you can remove all pieces of gear that a character has on temporarily by using a skill called Full Strip or Full Divest, which can remove an opponent's headgear, armour, shield, and weapon.
