Ragnarok Zero: Global beginner guide: what to do first

Start by treating your first job as a route into the second job you actually want to play.

By PC Game Pilot·Beginner·~5 min·Updated 18 Sep 2026

The fastest way to avoid a bad start is to choose backward from your second job. In Ragnarok Zero, your first job is the foundation, but the second job defines your role for months.

  • Want safe melee? Start Swordsman and plan around Knight or Crusader.
  • Want party demand? Start Acolyte and decide between Priest support or Monk burst.
  • Want easy ranged farming? Archer is the cleanest starting route.
  • Want elemental AoE? Mage is strong, but learn monster elements early.
  • Want economy play? Merchant matters if Zeny, crafting and trading are your game.
  • Want fast melee or PvP tricks? Thief leads toward Assassin or Rogue.

Use auto-hunting as a convenience tool, not as your whole plan. Gear, element knowledge, party habits and economy decisions still matter.
