The four classes
ArcheAge Chronicles uses four announced classes, each with two initial weapon types. The older labels Battlerage, Archery, Sorcery and Defense refer to earlier naming, not four extra classes.
- Warrior
- Ranger
- Mage
- Berserker
Each class initially offers two weapon types, for eight across the four classes.
Choose around the weapon style you want to play. An original ArcheAge class-combination chart does not describe this class system.
Gender options
Classes retain their announced gender restrictions at the start of Early Access. The first update, planned for December, is intended to add a female Warrior. Further options are planned progressively, with the goal of removing class gender locks for the full release.
Third weapons and Gladius
A third weapon for each class is a later expansion of the class system. Warrior’s Gladius is planned for the first update; it should not be treated as an initial weapon available to every player on launch day.
Build your character
Weapon Traits and character stats are separate progression paths. Read stats, Traits and Nui Tears before treating weapon choice as your entire build.
