Magic & Power SystemsLevels & Classes
YGGDRASIL has over 2,000 base and advanced classes combined, and characters must stack multiple classes to reach level 100.
- Class level caps are 15, 10, or 5 depending on the class
- Many advanced classes have prerequisites: prerequisite classes, events, items, or PKing a certain number of Heteromorphic players, etc.
- Each class has its own "spell list"; when a desired spell is not on the list, players may even die deliberately to lose levels and retake classes
- In the New World, locals must accumulate experience related to a class to advance in it (e.g. Hamsuke receiving warrior training, Arche gaining the Wizard (Academy) class from attending the magic academy)
- Classes can be gained even against one's will: Tuare gained the "Slave" class through her circumstances, and Neia the "Evangelist" class
- Classes like Ninja and Cursed Knight that require high levels in YGGDRASIL were learned by locals at low levels, showing that acquisition rules differ in the New World
- Among top players, warrior-class strength is affected by real-world athleticism, while magic classes depend on memory—one must memorize the layout of circular shortcut commands (4 layers × 12 per tier, 480 slots in all)
- Mining and investigation spells also give tiny amounts of experience, and some classes can only be taken by characters who have accumulated such experience; classes with harder requirements have higher stat growth, and some are restricted to Humanoids (Web novel)
Notes
Japanese sources only say "base classes," "advanced classes," and level caps of 15/10/5, without mapping the three caps one-to-one onto class tiers; the "base 15 / advanced 10 / rare 5" mapping comes from English sources.
