Hunting Together RPG All Classes Explained

This Classes reference covers all eight jobs in Hunting Together RPG: the six you can pick at creation and the two specials gated behind level-70 bases. Use it beside Stat Builds for point priorities and Best Classes when you want an editorial F2P order. Brand-new hunters should also follow Getting Started so controls, warps, and early quests match the job fantasy you chose.

Hunting Together RPG plays like a compact Ragnarok-style hunt: clear sky-island packs, finish zone quests, beat gatekeeper bosses, refine gear, and socket monster cards. Your class decides how that loop feels — ranged auto-farm, melee tanking, AoE nukes, burst bosses, party heals, or gold routing — not whether you can participate at all.

Base classes (character creation)

Swordsman

• Role: Frontline fighter / party tank
• Strengths: Straightforward melee uptime, sturdy with VIT investment, excellent for players who hate kiting, required base for Samurai.
• Weaknesses: Slower pack clear than Archer/Mage on open islands; needs positioning when multiple elites aggro.
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. Push toward level 70 if Samurai is your goal (also needs Thief 70).

Mage

• Role: AoE magical damage
• Strengths: Pack deletion once skills and INT gear come online; strong zone-clear identity; required base for Alchemist.
• Weaknesses: Early mana and fragile mistakes punish greed; ramp time before AoE feels “free.”
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. Pair with Merchant 70 later for Alchemist.

Archer

• Role: Ranged physical farmer
• Strengths: Best-in-slot feel for solo island quests; safer auto combat; top editorial F2P opener on many accounts.
• Weaknesses: Less natural tankiness; boss patterns that punish standing still still demand movement.
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. No special gated behind Archer alone — its value is raw progression speed and later passives.

Thief

• Role: Mobile burst / boss pressure
• Strengths: Gatekeeper bosses feel shorter; mobility helps messy pulls; required base for Samurai.
• Weaknesses: Can be squishier than Swordsman; pack clear may trail Archer without good cards.
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. Level 70 Thief + level 70 Swordsman → Samurai.

Cleric

• Role: Support / sustain / passive enabler
• Strengths: Party glue, safer long grinds, enormous account value when approaching level 99 passive sharing.
• Weaknesses: Solo DPS usually behind dedicated farmers; impatient solo players may underrate it.
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. Prioritize on F2P routes even if you “main” a DPS job later.

Merchant

• Role: Economy / gold specialist
• Strengths: Funds refining, warps, and card goals; required base for Alchemist; long-term account power.
• Weaknesses: Combat clear speed often lags pure DPS jobs early.
• Unlock notes: Available at creation. Level 70 Merchant + level 70 Mage → Alchemist.

Hunting Together RPG - All Classes (F2P)

Special classes (level 70 unlocks)

Samurai

• Role: High-ceiling melee special
• Strengths: Prestige kit for players who finished both physical bases; rewards the Swordsman + Thief dual grind.
• Weaknesses: Not a starter — locked until Swordsman Lv70 and Thief Lv70. Time-to-unlock is the real cost.
• Unlock notes: Plan both bases deliberately; do not expect Samurai on day one of a fresh F2P account.

Alchemist

• Role: Hybrid utility special
• Strengths: Flexible tools for prepared accounts that already understand Mage nuking and Merchant economy.
• Weaknesses: Locked behind Mage Lv70 and Merchant Lv70; Merchant’s slower early clear stretches the calendar.
• Unlock notes: Schedule Mage and Merchant farms before you theorycraft Alchemist loadouts.

How to choose without overthinking

• Want fastest islands solo? Start Archer, then read Best Classes.
• Want party value and passives? Raise Cleric early.
• Want Samurai? Level Swordsman and Thief to 70.
• Want Alchemist? Level Mage and Merchant to 70.
• Want numbers on the sheet? Open Stat Builds.
• Still lost on HUD, codes, and first warps? Return to Getting Started.

Party note

EXP shares across level gaps, and each member adds a small EXP/drop bonus (community guidance ~2% each, up to ~12% in a full party). Mixed compositions work: tank + support + farmer beats four identical Archers stuck on a mechanic-heavy gate boss.
