New to O-Ro and not sure what to play? Here's a quick way to get your bearings. On O-Ro (Pre-Renewal, 99/70), you start as a Novice, then choose a first class before working your way toward your advanced class.
The main families
- Melee (Swordman, Thief): sturdy or fast, easy to pick up for farming.
- Ranged (Archer): reliable damage from a safe distance, excellent for solo leveling.
- Magic (Mage): heavy area damage, more fragile — fearsome once geared up.
- Support / hybrid (Acolyte, Merchant): healing, buffs, trading, and quality-of-life.
Our tips for a first character
- Pick a self-sufficient class to level up smoothly (Archer and Swordman are safe bets).
- Don't overlook the economy: the Merchant opens up trading and autotrade.
- You can always reset your stats through dedicated NPCs — no need to panic if you get them wrong.
This guide is deliberately general. Detailed guides by class and by build will be added here over time.
