Age of Conan Classes Guide

Age of Conan Class System

These are just the basics - if you're looking for something more in-depth, we can recommend the excellent AoC guides written by the game guide experts at Killer Guides.

Unlike other MMORPG's users don't pick a specific class at the intial character creation screen.  Instead users pick specific height, size, shape and other bodily features to go along with the gender and race of the desired character.  At level five players choose a specific archtype that fall into the categories of Soldier, Mage, Priest, and Rogue.  Each Archtype bring specific advantages and disadvantages along with archtype specific moves.  Once players really get intuned with the game and achieve a level of 20 they are able to choose one of several classes that fall under their chosen Archtype.  One interesting is that not every race can choose every class in the given archtype so choose carefully when you create your character as to not hinder you from choosing your favorite class.  The list of classes in the archtype are as follows.
