Chapter 2
Actually, it’s fine if the Alchemist class disappears and only the Warrior and Necromancer remain. A Warrior’s livelihood is never in danger. There are so many Warriors, politicians are conscious of them and write bills taking their opinions into consideration. The Warrior’s association is also good at supporting Newbies.
Ha…
So what kind of class is this ‘Necromancer’?
It’s a failure of a class that, unless a gun is held to your head, you shouldn’t take.
While delusional and receiving a skeleton, if I ….If only I noticed the ambiguous gazes of the Users around me…In truth, I didn’t afford any attention to anyone from the excitement of choosing a class, using skills, and observing ‘Lackey.’
To this day, one of the things I regret is not knowing about the forum community, [Ranking Gods], that many Users access. If I had, maybe I wouldn’t be in such an unanswerable situation.
Before I knew about Ranking Gods, I was an ordinary middle-class worker. Of course I was ignorant of combat and dungeon terms nor how to optimize life. So, I really scrambled to eat and live like a stray dog on the streets.
I wasted away half an exhausting year like that. By chance, I came across information on ‘Ranking Gods’ in another community of users, and, that very night, I immediately applied for membership. This was what I saw when I first joined.

Priest
By chance, if you see my post before choosing a class, and Priest is one of your recommended jobs, you’ve really won at life. It hurts me to even say it, but the skills are like a scam. Even without entering combat, Priests have the easiest time making money.
It’s simple for Priests to earn money. There’s the halo skill, right? If you use that in front of a Dungeon, you’ll suddenly find a guy wearing tight black clothes or a guy holding crossbows or shields running, breathlessly, your way.
They’ll want to talk to you, to “propose.” You can close your eyes, they’ll try to carry you and earn money for you.
If you follow the highest level combatant and give them some buffs before battle: “Shield?,” he will immediately start crying and simpering….But, if you’re too lazy to put up a shield, you don’t have to. No one would dare have the nerve to demand this buff.
Maybe you’ve seen these types of posts around this community: [Priest was an available class for me, but I chose XXX other job instead because I didn’t want to work as a support. I don’t regret it. It’s better to choose a job that suits your personality.] Or [My Hyung is a Priest, but he says the Priest isn’t all that good.] You will often hear these sorts of opinions.
The template above may change brother to sister or friends, but it doesn’t matter. These types of posts all claim that ‘the Priest class is actually insubstantial’…
Those bashing Priests are speaking nonsense.
This is important so I’ll say it again.
If Priest shows up, choose it.
Of course, if you’ve rolled around in the Dungeons for a few years like I have, you’d know that all those who slander Priests have squandered the job. However, Newbies don’t often get invitations to clear Dungeons nor have any personal connections. Especially, when they enter the Hub, they get swayed by groundless rumours–unable to separate truth from trash.
So, in order to prevent you all from the headache of being swayed by these rumours and choosing a mystery class even if Priest was in the list of recommendations, I’ve prepared this PSA. And, you should all believe me.
If you don’t understand now, it’s okay, just memorize this.
If the Priest class shows up think: ‘Ah~ I’m someone who was given a more exceptional choice than others~ I’m a demigod~’
A Priest is not someone who only gives heals or buffs outside of Hubs. Coupled with the perfect buffs, real Priests within the Hubs can use offensive attacks such as ‘Holy spear’ or ‘Purge’ even from level 1. This class is truly favored by the gods.
Since party-play is necessary to leveling up, Priests have it easy. Who wouldn’t want to covet them? In the same vein, it becomes advantageous in joining the top guilds and receiving their support.
So Newbies…keep in mind that if you want to succeed as a User, the easiest way is to become a Priest. If it shows up, immediately grab that opportunity.

Mage
The Mage is almost as much of a cheat job as Priest.
Though, compared to the Priest, it does not have attack increasing buffs, the Mage itself, amongst all the other jobs, brings overwhelming outstanding offensive power to the table.
The introduction of the Mage’s class, however, only has some vague head-in-the-clouds description; it would be easy to overlook this class and, regretfully not choose it…However, here I will give a vital tip. The shinier the system’s description of the class, the more useless it is, so be careful. Don’t be swayed by eloquent words.
I’ll stop with the idle talk and begin to explain one by one just how much of a dirty cheat a Mage is.
First, Mages have no restrictions on learning skills. Of course, skill categories are divided into the four basic elements, but you don’t have to worry over which skills to choose. It’s not about careful picking and choosing, you’ll have to learn all of them. Let’s just say the more you learn, the stronger you get. Also, there’s no particular risk to acquiring a lot of skills. (If I had to nitpick, the more skills you learn the longer it takes to rank them all up?)
In addition, you only need ‘skill books’ to learn skills. Therefore, theoretically, all existing spells can be learned and used. It is also one of the unique classes that get a skill (for free) from the Hub when you first settle in.
When you enter the Hub, the stele in front of the Dungeons, marked ‘Tutorial,’ will first catch your eye.
Without doing anything else, immediately go up to the stele and press [move] –> [move to library]. A strange hologram called the librarian will show up and hand you magic books on the four basic elements for free. Once you’ve learned from those 4 magic books, you will already have 4 more skills than the other classes.
Even with just those 4 skills, getting to the 30~40th level shouldn’t be a problem.
In the future, Mages can learn Warp and Windwalker, two buffs of the wind attribute, and make money that way. Just exploiting ads to rescue others: [will someone give me a buff] [Warp save please]. If you go there and cast the skill, it’s ‘game over’. You will have to raise both skills to the highest proficiency level, but, by the time you’re level 30, the proficiency will have naturally gone up.
The second reason to choose Mage is that even without a weapon it’s possible to attack. If you look at the Mage Status window, next to the skill explanation should be two buttons [Change to verbal] and [Change to gesture]. Pressing that should allow you to activate spells by speaking or making hand gestures, even without a staff.
Your weapon breaks in the middle of combat? For other classes, this would be a huge catastrophe. Mages, however, can just ‘change’ their activation commands.
You’ll learn just how big a benefit this is when clearing Dungeons yourself. That’s why some penny-pinching Mage users will stick to verbal/gestural commands until a certain level, collecting money. Once enough is gathered, they’ll switch to a staff. This is another one of a mage’s advantages: enduring a low-income lifestyle.
Third and last, not many say that they don’t ‘fit’ the Mage class. This may be an objectively obvious claim, but in reality Mages report higher job satisfaction compared to the other classes. (Link: ‘Korean User Research Institute 20xx year, Job perception survey results’)
Furthermore, if you have dreams of becoming a streamer…know that in the top 10 most popular user streams, three are Mages.
Few combat streamers can challenge the visual spectacle of a Mage. The skills’ effects are flashy, and they are versatile enough to cover all sorts of combat situations even if you are solo. No matter how hard the Warrior runs with the greatsword, it’ll be seen as nothing more than a documentary, but the Mage can be like a Marvel hero.
This is not my brain’s bias; even advertisers love Mages. The average advertising pay for Mages cannot be compared to other classes. (Certain users who are famous for their wind-based magic are four times as expensive as other users who have similar subscriber counts.) There’s a lot of people who broadcast these days, right? I’m using this tip myself, *nod nod*.

Alchemist
The last job I’m recommending is the Alchemist.
""
Alchemists, unlike the two aforementioned classes, are solely crafters. What I mean is that all of the Alchemist’s skills are tailored to crafting and production. They have no combat skills.
Therefore, there’s no enjoyment in combat, and public perception of the class isn’t good. It’s far from the glamorous image that comes to mind when you think of Users. No matter how ‘cooly’ you make your potion, you’re still just using your skills on a flask and some synthesizing fluid at a desk. Thus, If I promote their earnings as top tier, I might face some backlash, you know?
Despite all this, why am I recommending this class?
That’s because, more than any others, you can earn lots of money.
Nothing more needs to be said when you realize that this is the only class that produces the potions that are so necessary to Dungeon diving. This job can also be a good alternative for those users who find combat burdensome.
So, if you want to build up a sizable pension without taking an extra job, just become an Alchemist. Even when you’re a beginner, you can get hired at a workshop and steadily earn 500 monthly. If you hire a Warrior or Mage with the money you have collected, you can easily get boosted to level 50’s.
When I recommend this job, people ask, “But you don’t have any skills to protect yourself?” At level 30, Alchemists can make golems. You can either ride on the golem’s shoulders or board the room in its chest.1 So, if you feel threatened, you can call your golem to retreat or to use it in combat.
A golem’s performance is determined by how much money you can spend on it. It wouldn’t be too much of a strain for an Alchemist who has endless ways to make money through potions, scrolls, and mana stones.
There are also many Alchemists who earn money through streaming. They film and upload videos of mixing together various chemical reagents and other ingredients. [Making the best strawberry-flavored potion (glossy-potion) ASMR] etc…there’s a lot of demand for things like that.
Interestingly, Alchemist streamers often have more subscribers than combat streamers. I looked some up a few times, and I ended up watching as if I was bewitched. I can watch peacefully, like flowing down a stream?
Anyway, I’ve recommended three actual, current meta, top-tier classes. If this helps, please press likes~
*I’ll receive all tackles 2, but ignore nonsense
*This is a personal evaluation from my 5 years of dungeon experience
*I’m a Warrior

King God’s Pension: My class is Kingfisher
└King God’s Pension: But just how much money do the top-tier make?
└Down: Far too much lolol
└ OP: Actually, besides Mage and Priest, all the other combat classes only make enough to get by. That’s why I wrote up those two alongside other production classes for potentially high earning jobs. We’re all just trying to make a living, aren’t we?
.
Master Calligrapher: Why didn’t you mention Kingfisher?
└OP: It’s not bad, but it’s not top-tier
.
Josha: Why are you just posting this now!!
└OP: What class did you pick?
└Josha: Bard TT_TT Ah!!! I had a recommended class to choose as well.
└OP: It’s okay, Bard isn’t a pitfall.
.
??: But the golem…The highest available option for the golem, one that can even fly, costs 10 billion won….There’s only a few ranking Alchemists that managed to make a flying golem…Even the simplest 4-piece golem costs 1.3~1.4 billion…The Alchemist has to have high of an expense barrier to put it in the top tier alongside Priest and Mage…You can’t ever make a golem on a workshop salary T.T
└OP: But this class is the only one who has high returns, even for the incompetents at level 30.
└??: How do you save 10 billion by earning 500 a month? T_T The golem market bubble is so bad that the price won’t go down…As an Alchemist, I don’t like the popular pervasive image that alchemists are all rich. Even knowing the ingredients can only be used by Alchemists, rich bastards buy it all up to resell at a high price. Consequently, every year, potion prices rise…
└Haeha: @?? ?Bullshit kek, Who doesn’t know that the workshops are colluding to raise prices every year lololol
└??: @Haeha? Why are you cursing all of a sudden…?? Don’t you understand that if the ingredient prices rise, the finished product also becomes more expensive? Are Alchemists supposed to do business in the red?…You’re not even a gangster, what kind of logic is that…
└OP: @?? Every class has an extremely expensive end-game weapon, 10 billion won for an end-game golem is cheap, isn’t it? Also I didn’t mean that the 500 salary from the workshops is a lot, but that Alchemists can get paid at least 500. Higher levels get paid more, and you can set up your own workshop.
└Divinda: @?? Fact: Alchemists charge 20 million won per top-grade mana stone reinforcement.
└Divinda: thinking back to how I cried while paying, I can’t help but curse lolol
└Haeha: @?? Alchemists can make a few off-cut flakes in the workshop and gain a six-figure salary, but combatants toil for 5 hours every day in the dungeons to procure ingredients. Just because we raise the price of the ingredients a little, we’re called gangsters?
└see!: @??Whose idea is it that combatants are purposefully buying and raising the prices of ingredients that only Alchemists use?
└Haeha: @?? Two years ago, the primary plant ingredient for the recovery potion costed 120,000 won per kg. Now it costs 130,000 won. Back then, a single bottle of recovery potion cost 6,000 won…but now it costs 25,000 won lol Are you kidding me?

Newbie1: Hello, I enjoyed your post Hyung-nim!! But, right now I’m choosing my classes…but none of the top-tiers mentioned showed up TT_TT. Warrior, Necromancer, Beast-master, which of these three should I be T_T I just recently suspended my choice and stepped out T_T
└OP: Hm, well if you want to fight with your body, Warrior. (I’ve written about the pros and cons of Warriors before, here’s the link.) If you like animals, Beast-master. I’ve heard that with patience, you can attack with tamed animals later on… But most of the Beast-masters eventually become too attached to their animals and can’t stomach using them to attack??? If you don’t pay attention to that kind of thing, it’s okay; performance is okay too. If you’ve dreamed of playing with pokemons, it might be worth it.
Newbie1: Thank you so much T_T But, is Necromancer not worth it?? The description was cool;
└Damhwa: @Newbie1 God-cromancer
└Yeseung: @Newbie1 It’s F-tier, kek
└Lemonade: @Newbie1 I sincerely say that it’s a fine class. Please choose it.
└OP: @Newbie1 Never choose it…It’s a class that has no future
Newbie1: @Writer Thank you so much TT_TT!
└Seol-ah: @Lemonade Trash Bastard lolol
└Night Sea: @Lemonade <Famous Troll
