Winged Elves

The Winged Elves

The Winged Elves were created from the blood of Pan Gu. They were intended to symbolize beauty, grace and purity. The Winged Elves are the only race with the ability to fly from birth, while the other races must wait until level 30.

Archers

Main Article: Archer

Archers are the only class that specialize in long range attacks that aren't magic. Archers can use bows, crossbows, and slingshots, and are damage dealers. Archers are the fastest class in the game, meaning that if all other classes were to run in a footrace (with no buffs or anything similar such as a Barbarian Tiger Mode) the archer would win. The Archers are also meant to be the guardians of the Winged Elf race. The Archers attacks are reduced when a mob (or player, in the case of PvP) comes too close, unless the archer uses skills that inflict metal damage, or when they use a melee weapon.

Clerics

Main Article: Cleric

The Clerics are the healing class of the game, and therefore are the most sought out in groups. Clerics also have buffs that can increase your physical and magical defense, as well as make your attacks stronger and make your HP and MP regenerate faster. Clerics can fly with their first wings infinitely, as opposed to archers, who when they fly slowly use mana, therefore unable to fly for longer unless using mana potions or charms. Clerics use magic weapons such as Wands, Magic Swords, Patakas and Glaives.
