Ragnarok M Eternal Love Classes – Complete Class Guide & Tier Breakdown (2025 Update)

So, you’ve finally stepped into Ragnarok M: Eternal Love, huh? Welcome to the rabbit hole of class choices, rerolls, and “why didn’t I pick Wizard instead of Archer” moments. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about each class line, their evolutions, and how they perform across PvE, PvP, and late-game content.

I. Introduction to Ragnarok M Eternal Love Classes

A. Overview of the Class System

Ragnarok M sticks to the classic RO formula: you start as a Novice, then advance through multiple Job Tiers — each bringing new skills, appearances, and playstyles.

B. Game Genre

It’s a mobile MMORPG, mixing idle-friendly grind with real-time combat. The open-world setup and auto pathing make it surprisingly chill for casual players, but there’s still room for hardcore min-maxing.

C. Platform Availability

Available on both iOS and Android, and fully playable via emulators like LDPlayer and BlueStacks for those who prefer PC farming.

D. Developer Info

Developed by Gravity Interactive and X.D. Global, the devs keep refining balance — especially after the recent 2025 Rebirth patch.

E. Community & Player Base

Even after years since launch, the community is still alive. You’ll find active guilds on Discord and Reddit trading gear advice, class builds, and new player handbooks.

II. Getting Started and Class Selection

Choosing your first class can be overwhelming — and yes, many players reroll later. But here’s a friendly starter roadmap.

A. Class Selection Overview

The six base paths are Swordsman, Acolyte, Mage, Archer, Thief, and Merchant.
