ROSE Online - Weapons and Jobs

Weapons and Jobs

There are a variety of weapons to use in ROSE Online. The weapons aren't restricted by the player's job, but their level and a specific stat. The type of weapon a certain player should use is generally based on the class he choses.

There are four basic jobs/classes:

• Soldiers are, as their name implies, generally based on the Strength Attribute, and therefore usually use weapons such as Swords, Spears, and Axes.
• Muses are generally healers, but can also become combat magicians later on in the game, and generally use Wands or Staffs.
• Dealers are a class based on economy and the ability to craft items; Dealers generally use guns and cannons, and have the ability to hire Mercenaries at will.
• Hawkers are a class based on the Attribute Dexterity, and rely on dodge rate and movement speed to take down his foe; Hawkers generally either use bows or dual wield katars or swords.

These four basic classes can later be upgraded into more advanced Secondary Classes:

• Soldiers can choose as their secondary class either to become a Champion or a Knight. Champions are based mostly on the Attack Power attribute, and generally wield a Two-Handed weapon (sword, spear, or axe). Knights are based generally on defense and therefore use a One-Handed weapon in combination with a shield on their other hand.
• Muses can become either Clerics (healers) or Mages (attackers). Clerics generally use Wands, so they can "buff" and "heal" other players, while Mages use staves.
• Dealers can turn into either a Bourgeois (attacker) or an Artisan (crafter). The former generally uses cannons while the latter generally uses pistols.
• Hawkers can turn into either Scouts or Raiders. The former generally uses a Bow and Arrow, and can summon a pet hawk to fight by his side, while the latter generally uses Katars and Dual-Wield Swords, and emphasizes its abilities of speed and stealth.
